No shit, If it were the Democrat party of 20 years ago, I would still be voting for them.

I am sure he will just dismiss it as lies, and then tell us he "heard" it was so.

Judging from the fact that the largest political party is now undecided, independent or unenrolled, I suspect a lot of Americans are wide awake.

Still, thanks for bringing this to our attention, Kdude.

This is how civil servants work, I guess I am missing the hypocrisy as I'm sure the republicans do the same thing and both always have. The issue of the tax relief is a more serious concern as it is used to build and maintain the infrastructure we all depend on. This is the usual irrelevance from the party and ideologues of no ideas.

I'm sure Jeannie Faatz has no agenda in her comments, being the only republican on the Denver City Council and all...

naaaaaaaaaaaah... she couldn't possibly be trying to make something out of nothing; that would be silly....
