<p>I think the stimulus package might favor the Democrats over the Republicans at this time. After all, they have the majority in Congress, and people might be inclined to think that it was the Democratic Congress that was responsible for this unanticipated windfall. After all, I don’t know of many people in my income bracket who wouldn’t welcome a check for $1200 from the government.</p>
<p>Here’s what Rove did to McCain in 2000. Rove is a miserable gun-for-hire, whose specialty is creating an uneven paying field through his dirty tricks. </p>

<p>If you appreciate more of your tax money back, you must be a Republican :)</p>
<p>Actually, I’m an independent who’s more inclined to vote for Obama over Clinton (or even, at this point, McCain over Clinton:eek:).</p>

<p>JHS: The above paragraph pretty much says it all. 100% right on. The whole sham was so incredibly transparent at that time, I was flabbergasted that many seemingly intelligent people appeared to be fooled. There were actually two separate sales pitches going on. To the UN, the pitch was about WMD. To the US public it was about terrorism. Gotta give them credit, the UN didn’t fall for the pitch. The US public did.</p>
<p>Any compliance by Iraq was merely to buy time and frustrate the US. Read the Iraq WMD timeline on Wiki. Iraq was compliant for about as long as the average 3 year old. SH thought it was a joke.</p>
