It Begins...


Wow.

Whoever thought that moderate Ohio Gov. Bob Taft, so hated and reviled by the wingnuts for not being pure on taxes, would be the first major GOP player to go down on the corruption madness that will certainly wash so many away in 2006?

If the various investigations across the country which are looking into GOP corruption start rolling in with indictments from here on in, then the resounding THUD heard from Republican campaign honchos' flop-sweat hitting the floor should begin to grow deafening.

Back to Taft:
His is the ultimate non-apology apology.

The judge ordered him to apologize.

''From the shores of Lake Erie to the banks of the Ohio River, I want them to know that you are sorry for what you have done...''


But not for our Bob. Oh, no... His apology barely made it across the room.

Taft's voice cracked as he spoke later at a news conference.

''There are no words to express the deep remorse that I feel over the embarrassment that I have caused for my administration and the people of the state of Ohio,'' Taft said.


What garbage.

He doesn't apologize; he feels "remorse."

He didn't commit a crime; he "caused embarrassment."

The GOP obviously won't lose in the upcoming elections; they'll "underrepresent their base numbers."

Here's a calculator to help you get a clearer picture of just how you'd make out under Obama's tax plan, rather than just extending the Bush tax cuts which is all that McCain is proposing.




Stop the heartbreak of catalog glut.
