>> Well they voted on it. And isn't it odd that they >> missed it by one vote? <g> Actually they missed it by more than one because Dole voted against it as a procedural tactic when he knew it would not pass. But if all the Democrats who said they were for it in the past had voted for it, it would have passed easily. But did you hear that the Speaker called D. Feinstein a lying politician (somewhat redundant <g>). But here is a scary thought. In the past there has not been a total landslide, i.e. a sweep of every state, I think. Based on the absurdity of Democratic statments relating to the deficit, the amendment and other issues, and also on the wide concern about the deficit and wide support of the amendment, the next Republican President could win with a REAL landslide. The trouble is that such an event would be viewed as a broad mandate for all sorts of CRAP!!!
