[Peace-discuss] 13th IL Cong. Dist & US war in the Mideast

[C. G. Estabrook]

Alice displays her usual perspicacity in both comedy and politics; unfortunately, that's not pleonastic...

I think in fact Our Rulers are a bit worried about the Ron Paul movement, a cloud no bigger than a man's hand (there's a drought on) over Tampa. 

Rep. Paul forthrightly attacked this stupid bill today, and it was widely reported - on Rt.com, and no other network. The US media know their business.

Kucinich and Paul and three other anti-war Republicans in voting against this nasty bit of war-mongering.
