What’s strange is that no one noticed a Republican candidate running on a Democrats’ policy statements.

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.

-- Thomas Jefferson

Rob’s recently listened-to songs:

Rob, i think it was just vague, feelgood shit. I don’t think that it was anything with partisan content. Rainville’s only responce to all of this is thAt she’s dealt with it (fired her worker responsible) and she will change the wording, but not the content…

what else is new? ..over in the Senate, GOP Senator George ‘Macaca’ Allen does it all the time,lol!

Allen home state newspaper on the incident:

No free pass for Allen’s revisionism

...
Recently, in a stunt openly mocked on national television (making us a laughing stock), Allen literally stole an amendment to a defense appropriation bill, that was authored and previously distributed throughout the Senate a week earlier by Dick Durbin, D-Ill. Everyone there knew who really wrote the amendment, but Allen hoped voters wouldn’t find out.

Durbin’s bill explicitly included medical care for soldiers hurt in Iraq, whom Allen heretofore cared little about. Cutting ahead of Durbin on the established agenda, Allen asked to be recognized out of order. Reading from Durbin’s photo-copied bill, Allen submitted it as his own. When called on his stunt, Allen claimed a difference between his and Durbin’s: “will” had been changed to “shall.”

Conservative Colbert obviously made parody of the whole situation in his show.
