I'm so glad to see that 99 out of 100 commie democrats that have
replied today are all in agreement that Republican's don't regulate
enough. I THANK GOD FOR THAT FACT! And, whats more, you each have
also indicated that democrats are major regulators / control phreaks.
Therefore, you have proven my point regarding the differences between
the commie left and the real Republican party members.
Keep up the good work.
