We are spending seven times times LESS protecting each New Yorker than each
resident of Wyoming. Who got attacked on 9/11? Where was the World Trade
Center? Well, it wasn't Laramie. If these guys are eager to "defend the
homeland" why are they only after lining their own pockets? What about
Afghanistan and Bin Laden? Only after we fight an irrelevant war in Iraq, again
to line their own pockets. Airports in NYC and Boston? Screw you, I guess.
Future Swing States (what will be the battleground states of the future?): Not
really fair as this is a Republican run giveaway to garner purple states.
Possible Briber trends to democratic party in 2008: no help for blue states
here. Someone else is pulling the
purse strings.
Possible Bribery trends to republican party in 2008: Trying to Buy Oregon,
Vermont, New Hampshire, maine and Connecticut
