1. Huge!

this sentiment among liberterian leaning repugs could make all the difference in states like NM, MO, MN, WV, NH and even (though its a long shot) ND anf MT. Asscrack's antics could seriously surpress votes for chimpy and Dem candiates should hit this issue hard.

2. The Dems have stopped hitting hard

or hadn't you noticed.

5. The Dems from the Democratic wing of the Party haven't

and the others never started.

3. Ashcroft's hiring should have been the first clue..

..that Bush's line about being a uniter not a divider and "changing the tone in Washington" was nonsense.

4. The PATRIOT ACT limitation amendment was offered by...

Rep. C.L. "Butch" Otter (R-ID)

6. Love to watch them squirm

I think Rove would really like to throw Ashcroft overboard, but then that would anger their fundie base, so they are stuck with him.
