These nuts are starting to feel the heat... maybe it's the pressure, maybe they sense the loss comin' on, cause it's heatin' up and wingers are starting to crack; from the CQ Staff, Ridge Reports Investments in Homeland Security Contractors:
...Ridge also reported receiving between $7,000 and $114,000 total in income from his assets on 12 investments, including General Electric, Merck, Baxter and Microsoft....

In response to a late afternoon telephone inquiry, DHS (Department of Homeland Security) spokesman Brian Roehrkasse first said the department did not have enough time to answer questions about the disclosure form. Pressed further, he shouted an expletive to a reporter and hung up.

Later, in a second telephone conversation, Roehrkasse said, "I don't know where we are in the process. I don't know . . . I can't validate any information you've got," and repeated a string of expletives...

You do not cuss at CQ. Got that Mr Roehrkasse? Those guys at CQ kick ass, and you're part of them that's got next.

Re: Ridge is slipping out the back, jack, (none / 0)

Wanted to let you guys know about this letter (below) that we're shooting around the internet.  It's going to help John Kerry win this thing in November if we can get it in front of the eyes of every active Democrat...

TAXWISDOM.ORG

Fellow Democrats:

After decades of relentless bashing by the Republican Party, the Progressive Income Tax has acquired a tarnished reputation in the eyes of many voters.  Its defenders have been unable to effectively counter the standard Republican appeal to a very narrow---and flawed---perception of voter self-interest.

The Taxwisdom.org Web Page has been created to help bring about a change in public attitudes toward the Progressive Income Tax.  For the benefit of policymakers and voters, we provide a presentation of the powerful theory-based arguments that defend the Progressive Income Tax as the ideal form of taxation.

After reviewing the arguments found on our website, Cornell economist Robert H. Frank---author of The Winner Take All Society (1995), Luxury Fever (1999), and Principles of Economics (2001) --- said:

"...you can put me on record as saying that your arguments on tax policy are among the best that I've seen..."

They are powerful because they are derived from the same classical assumptions re: market dynamics that have always been championed by conservative economists.  The conservative analytical tradition is used to reveal the ultimate folly of Supply-Side tax policy.

With these new market-based arguments in hand, Democrats will have the firepower they need to start heaping some ridicule on the Republicans for the stupidity of their ideas on tax policy.

Visit the Taxwisdom Web Page at www.taxwisdom.org, print out a copy of the article, and then sit back & enjoy learning about the economic arguments that have the power to utterly discredit the Republican Party's economic philosophy in the eyes of the American people.

Please note that at this early stage in our efforts, we must rely on an Email Campaign and the efforts of individuals like you to spread the word.  We encourage you to pass this letter on to other Democrats & give them a chance to see for themselves the future of tax policy in America.

Linette Tucker,
Email Campaign Manager
