You're great.<br /><br />J.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14009254945490478290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565573.post-1096742090654878212004-10-02T14:34:00.000-04:002004-10-02T14:34:00.000-04:00This post is outstanding !!!

From a political perspective, President Bush's instincts are like this while Kerry's instinct is to enable. Now I keep thinking, if you could get five minutes of Bush's re-election team it would help the cause. Maybe call this "compasionate responsability."<br /><br />Oak LeafAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
