Okay, I'm a libertarian who doesn't like to waste his vote, republican's are the current best way to get our message across for smaller gov't and lower taxes. I look at "defense pork" as a lot less damaging as "Welfare pork". Defense pork means the government paid for something and presumably, someone had to make it and then ship it to the pentagon, already that is two jobs that pay taxes pumping a portion of that money back into the fed treas. Those two guys need to eat, have a haircut, buy a car, etc, creating more jobs. The welfare pork simply keeps a poor underclass that is totally dependent on Uncle Sam for their food and housing without creating more jobs (other than bureaucrats), without a constitutional mandate like defense spending.

All I'm saying is that it is more likely partisian bickering than him being upset with the science Bush is using to make policy decisions. No one ever bitched at Clinton for allowing the EPA to publish bogus studies on second-hand smoke, for example.
Us can't get judgeships filled, prescription drug coverage, medicare/medicaid/social security reform, or a ballanced budget. There are signifigant differences in republicans and democrats, ranging from the thread-killers (abortion, gun control, medical malpractice reform are so decisive you are not going to convice a die-hard to swap sides) to issues like strict constructionism vs. writer intent, the growing welfare state vs. providing constitutionally mandated services (Defense and...), and free-markets vs. a command economy

I'm talking about on a nation level. If we want to talk espionage, the whole "missing hard drives" incident that happened under the previous administration at LANL and Mr. Gore's Bhuddist Temple speech should prove that the ChiComs have their own very efficent inteligence network, regardless of Taiwanese who seek ChiCom money after training in the US and other western nations. The ChiComs should be punished just the same as Cuba and North Korea for continuing to follow the failed system that is communism and Western support of Tibet and Taiwan is a sure way to piss off and undermine the maoist regime and other socialist shitholes around the globe.

Judging by these stats, money shouldn't have been an issue in the congressional races last fall, as it would appear that the dems raised as much or even more money than republicans, but still lost seats, which would suggests that, shock shock, voters voted on issues, not that the campaign was bought by a bunch of WASP republican fat cats. Looking over the big donor listthe top 10 dem donors raised $68,070,894, in mostly stolen money (Labor union contributions do not reflect the political ideologies of their members) while the top 10 republicans raised a whopping $32,783,289, or less than half what the democrat big donors gave

Why not support Taiwan and stick it to the ChiComs? Seems to me that would be the logical way to show the people of mainland China that representative democracy and capitalism is a far better system for the bulk of the people that a communist dictatorship run by corrupt bureaucrats? Not trolling, I really want to know what their justification for not supporting Taiwan is? From AI, it looks like their only beef with Taiwan is their use of the death penalty, which most American's have no problem with for violent criminals.
Long before I arrived (1999), our Telecoms Ops manager was at a Nortel or Alcatel junket up in Boston. He won a nice Nikkon digital camera (at the time) as a door prize which the company appropriated for itself when he arrived back home. The moral of the story, don't travel with the VP in charge of your dept.
So we'll call him a son of a bitch instead of a bitch, big deal, he's still a punk to a bunch of commies out in the People's Democratic Republic of Hollywood. This gentleman had better turn the direction of the RIAA or he can no longer have the mantle of conservative, we actually believe in free markets. If the French or the Chinese don't want GM corn, fuck'em, let them pay $2/more a bushel. If we don't want to buy Saudi oil, good for us, but it will cost us at the pump.
You'll find that most civil cases have gag orders associated with them, plus you would have to track down the legal counsel for all of the companies you want to speak with assuming it wasn't gagged. The RIAA or MPAA is nothing but a Chamber of Commerce for the entertainment industry, they do not normally provide legal counsel for their associated companies.
However, there are some cases where it seems that the RIAA has banded together in a common class (RIAA v. Verizon) so it may be possible to extract comment on that case in particular or similar ones.
CAT Entertainment services can have a truck anywhere in the US in 24-26 hours with a complete setup. GE Energy Services also rents truck generators 6KW-22MW and portable AC and chiller systems. Looking at their locations, they should be able to reach anywhere in the US in 8-12 hours.
Now pine IS on the removed list, ACK!! Guess it's time to pick a new mailer, but man, a decade old habit is hard to break.

The Apache 2 series is now using a "Kernel style" numbering system (2.1 tree is a dev tree that will create 2.2) but the apache 1.3.x tree is where you need to be if you are running apache 1.3.x for compatability with old modules or any other reason.

Not sure why this is, but its scary nontheless. We conservatives have been bitching about a bunch of left-wingers, from Marxists to the center, running Hollywood from the begining. The RIAA/MPAA/Media company support of democrats goes way back into the 1920's.
