- This comparison between Bush and Hoover is getting ridiculous. When Hoover
- was voted out in 1932, unemployment was around 25 per cent. I am
- extremely sceptical that that is the case today. Bush is no more Hoover
- than Dan Quayle is JFK. (and thank goodness for that.)

- Say what? The republicans picked up 9 seats in the House of Representatives.
- The Democrats picked up one (1) uno seat in the Senate, bringing their
- total to 58, not enough to stop filibusters. And, besides, filibusters have
- been a tool of the dems, by and large. Who do you think is nickna[ed Mr.
- Filibuster?
