can you get a photo signed by all the Halliburton guys hired to screw-up things for our troops compliments of Cheney?

let's outsource the military and put our good men and women at greater risk.

Cranley is kicking off his campaign with Rahm Emanuel who's name has come up in a Federal investigation of Chicago political corruption? Real smart move. Apparently, city employees from the water department were ordered to illegally help Rahm's campaign. Nothing like using a politician linked to corruption to help you raise money.

The best democracy money can buy! Ok, it's really a plutocracy. These are auctions, not elections.

Rahm Emanuel is on the far left of the far left. 100% NARAL rating. Voted against Congressman Chabot's ban on partial birth abortion. He's part of Daley's corrupt political machine. Cranley is showing his true colors.

I'm sorry. Who's a part of Tom Delay's corruption machine?!?! Steve Chabot, who's taken over $20,000 from Delay's Pac and votes with Delay over 90% of the time, or Democrat Rahm Emanuel, who's taken no money from Tom Delay and only shares 11% of his voting record with him? Give us a break.
