Democrats May Promise Broadband for All

andyring writes "According to CNS News Service, the Democrat Party will have an agenda that guarantees every American will have affordable access to broadband within five years as part of their 2006 election year agenda, according to Nancy Pelosi, House minority leader. Absent, of course, are any details as to how they will accomplish it when they are the party out of power in Congress."

Seems reasonable ...

John Jackson: "It's time someone had the courage to stand up and say: I'm against those things that everybody hates."

Jack Johnson: "Now, I respect my opponent. I think he's a good man. But quite frankly, I agree with everything he just said."

John Jackson: "I say your three cent titanium tax goes too far."

Jack Johnson: "And I say your three cent titanium tax doesn't go too far enough."

What an accusation! I thought the Democrats loved George W. Bush

It's a good thing the Republicans are above using clearly-doomed impeachment proceeding simply to score political points.

Well it's simple, in this country we have conservatives and liberals. When in a situation of protecting national security, conservativism begins to make sense. Liberals are going too far to the left, right into the arms of bin laden. There is only so far left you can go before it becomes a national security risk.

I don't think you have to agree with either party on every single issue, you just have to choose a party.

I don't like Bush, but I'd rather elect an Idiot than a Liar.

Cheer up -- with Bush, you can have both!

Most poor children today are in fact super-nourished, growing up to be, on average, one inch taller and ten pounds heavier that the GIs who stormed the beaches of Normandy in World War II.

Thank God we have unbiased sources like the Heritage Foundation [sourcewatch.org] to warn us of the looming threat from the army of bionic poor people!

As for preferring a liberal approach to national security, let's just say that after Pearl Harbor was attacked I'm glad we didn't sit around wondering if we would offend the Japanese or Germans by taking up arms or think that, by doing so, we'd raise their ire and surmise that we'd be better off not doing anything so that we would be better liked.

True. On the other hand, we didn't go invading Sweden either. I mean, hey, those guys look like Germans, kinda. Don't they?

Re:Pot, Kettle .....

[hey!]

It makes me sad that people are so naieve and willing to swallow the government progaganda.

If that's all it takes, then you must be rather morose. What makes me sad is all the people who know it's propaganda but can't think of anything better to do than muddle along as if it were true.

Actually if you have a daugher of the same age, paying for your neighbors internet access to porn might buy you one less perv dating your daughter? Thats an investment for the future.

Actually, that sounds more like precipitation to me. *tadabump*
