legislature over redistricting in order to ensure more republicans get elected
to the US congress.
They could not pass it is a regular session because the Democrats prevented a
quorum by walking out
Then in two later special sessions, there was another Walkout.
Now in the third special session, and everyone is there, the republicans in the
House and the Republicans in the Senate in conference cannot agree on whose home
district will be eliminated in the final bill.
In the final analysis it is self interest between republicans causing the
stalemate. The whole economy and support for schools is being held hostage by
the Governor pending passage of "his" bill.
This, with the attempt to disenfranchise Democrats who supported Bush in his
first election, is polarizing the entire state. Combine this with the layoffs,
unemployment, and drastic drop in salaries and other compensation, the
Republicans will need all the tricks in their bag to win re-election in 2004
Add to this Bush's speech only today, "The economy is improved, it just needs a
little more work. Tell this to the 9 million looking for work who cannot find
jobs, and the increased enlistments in the Army, etc, by high school graduates
who cannot find jobs.
Were it not for the huge spending rate by the Defense department - the US
economy would be in the middle of the worst depression, even exceeding the 1929
event.
No nuclear or WMD in Iraq - No person or money from Iraq contributed to 9/11 as
we were led to believe. lies and more spin, but dubya is falling on his face,
but he is taking care of his friends and contributors.
Wonder how many more Republicans will wake up and smell the roses in the months
to come?
