>Five months later, the truthfulness of one claim in George W. Bush's State

>The story you are about to read is in this writer's view the biggest

>This story cuts to the bone the machinery of democracy in America today.
>Democracy is the only protection we have against despotic and arbitrary

>Imagine if you will that you are a political interest group that wishes to
>control forevermore the levers of power. Imagine further that you know you
>are likely to implement a highly unpopular political agenda, and you do not
>wish to be removed by a ballot driven backlash.

>Her "Operation Hidden Agenda" cards picture President Bush, Defense
