1. I'm listening

She rocks , I'm so glad she's back

[Not a Sheep]

3. Yeah, I love Randi...

... sometimes she can be harsh but she does try and deal with the facts and explains things in detail.

2. Blackwell.

Secretary of State Blackwell actually filed for a "protective order" that will prevent him from having to offer any testimony!!! He's a "high ranking official", you know.

[Debbie13]

4. He's go to be hiding something or he wouldn't mind testifying

It's a bunch BS and sounds like circumstantial evidence to me.

[skypilot]

5. What's " a bunch of BS"???

[Debbie13]

9. Oh, the BS I meant was that Blackwell doesn't have to testify

[hholli1]

6. "Let John Kerry Report for Duty on January 6th"

if he wants to run in '08. I don't think we can change it...but I do think we can make a big enough deal about it to at least try to insight a Voter Protection Act here in the US.

I think we should take it slow too. We don't want THIS particular Congress "fixing" anything. They've "fixed" enough already.

But momentum could be built off of this if we can gain public support enough to insist on the "right to vote".

We have to try and make that a reality.

Oh...and even though I've been a member here for a while now, I mostly read. I am active at another board though...so some of you might recognize me. :)

8. You guys are mean

:mad:

[Freddie Stubbs]

10. Not much skiing in the Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Kuwait, or Iraq

Kerry's skills on display in Mideast trip

By Rick Klein, Globe Staff | January 4, 2005

Senator John F. Kerry is reemerging on the public stage this week with a 13-day fact-finding trip through the Middle East, which supporters say shows that the Massachusetts Democrat is determined to maintain a high profile after his losing presidential campaign.

"He intends to play a prominent role in foreign and domestic policy, and this is clear evidence of this," said Philip W. Johnston, chairman of the Massachusetts Democratic Party. "The fact that his first major public outing following the election relates to Iraq and foreign policy tells us that he intends to be a strong spokesperson on those issues."

Kerry arrived in Amman, Jordan, yesterday and has planned a hectic itinerary, with stops scheduled in Iraq, Kuwait, Syria, Egypt, Israel, and the West Bank. He has meetings set up with a wide range of specialists, local leaders, and military commanders, as well as troops from Massachusetts, said April Boyd, a Kerry spokeswoman.

"He'll be seeing things up close," Boyd said. "He wants to personally thank our troops for their service, focus on the steps that must be taken to achieve success in Iraq, and hear from experts in the region about the war in Iraq, the war on terror, and the Middle East peace process."
