The basic "trickle up" economics. Shift wealth from working class to uber-wealthy profiteers. Usually a war is needed to maintain the process. The GOPers have this in place and want to keep it going. Health care and fuel costs are now two main vehicles to shift the wealth.</description></item><item><title>First thoughts</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/05/213732.aspx#213840</link><pubDate>Tue, 05 Jun 2007 14:50:16 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:213840</guid><dc:creator>Dawn, somewhere in Kansas</dc:creator><description>Ollie, not to sound ignorant, but what is the BCCA?</description></item><item><title>First thoughts</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/05/213732.aspx#213909</link><pubDate>Tue, 05 Jun 2007 15:26:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:213909</guid><dc:creator>Ollie  frenchburg  ky</dc:creator><description>Dawn, The BCCA is secret organization that large companies and corporations belong to.

I don't know who will win, but I bet Romney gets the most right wing bumper sticker sound bytes per sentence. He's Milli Vanilli to me, especially if you can equate lip syncing with bumper sticker sound bytes. Only with Milli, I knew who was calling the shots.

The Wyoming Republican Party may be stupid (exhibit A is their "airplane" commercials from Cubin's last election) but even I don't think they are that stupid. I bet they nominate guys like Cale Case or Bruce Asay who might be semi-electable in '08. As much as they might want a troglodyte they aren't going to play with fire by risking running one against Freudenthal (possibly). I hope they nominate Cubin personally, so I can pester her 2 chickenhawk sons for not joining the undermanned war their mom slathers over.</description></item></channel></rss>
