As far as I am concerned, the harder Bush pushes to get his way, the harder
i will fight back.   After all our Constitution was designed to minimize
the opportunity for one person to control it by force,  and efforts of one
man to force his opinion on our Nation get me riled up.   The Senate has a
legitimate right to require thoughtful discussion of all issues.   We need
Harkin,  Jeffords,  Ann Riichards,  Daschle, etc to help overcome the Bush
Bull-Dozer
