I think the net neutrality thing is pretty much dead in the House, isn't it? Or maybe the Senate? One of those two voted it down i think. Thank god we have an election before too long.

It's sad but, they might win just by saying "Uh, we're not Bush".

I believe we are in the right pendulum swing in response to the relatively far left swing of the 90's. Here's hoping we get a few years in the middle before we swing back left again. This brings up another distinction in my own head. Is this really a "right > wing" administration? I don't think so.

From the outrageous spending to the social restrictions to the big government pushes.....this administration may be worthy of a whole new distinction all it's own: Fiscally liberal, socially conservative, big government hawks with a serious God complex. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:207813 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
