Have you accounted for the large amount of inflation that went with that time period? That would account for a short-term boost for unemployment (though its not a very good idea, IMHO, in the long-term).

Condy Rice was almost certainly chosen on the basis of her merit, as she's probably the most legit person in Bush's cabinet.

I think Bush chose Powell to get him votes, but he wasn't a bad pick either.

While I agree that a limited social welfare program does have a place in our system, a problem arises when the people receiving the benefits start believing they are entitled to them. Instead of wanting equal opportunities, they want equal results which is not constitutional in any manner. It was not the intent of the Constitution to "share the wealth". Protecting common welfare of the people does not mean the federal government is required to provide after school programs, free medical care, or welfare payments just because you are a single mother.

I hightly doubt the modern idea of welfare was what the founders meant.

*chuckles* not quite. I wouldn't give it too long until its fully Socialist, though, and not too long after that until communistic influences take hold.

Durn Canadian influence...

As a side note, would anyone else be absolutely tickled pink if Al Sharpton recieved the Democratic nomination?

Hey I have 2 candidates I dont prefer over Bush: Sharpton and Lieberman. The other 7 are ok in my books, but J. Edwards is my favorite.

I liked R. Gephardt's jingle last night:

"Like father like son. 4 years and they're done"

That bastard upstanding citizen is from Buffalo, NY, right? How exactly does he differ from Lieberman?

Umm.. Lieberman's platform consists of more than the phrase "I hate crackers." Other than that, I'm not too anxious to point out differences.
