Old news.

Kerry is a good choice because first off, he's no real "liberal",
anymore than most of the career politicians are. Maybe somewhere
near the center.

The real reason, though, is to clog the congress up with in-fighting.

No, actually, this is a good thing. The less they are able to pass
and spend and impliment the better off we are. At least the conversion
to a nanny-state like the U.K. will have slowed down more.

Less laws, less controls, less paperwork and legal hurdles. Make
them work out every single decision instead of passing anything
their greedy hearts desire.

P.S. There's actual talk in Washington about creating a U.S.
version of MI-5. Homeland Security Agency. This is a wet dream
of those in power and has been since Hoover started his vision
of it with the CIA.

That they are even *talking* about creating a State Police is
just an example of how much these opportunists need to be
slowed down - so that at least we have time to stop them
from robbing us blind.
