Quotes
"Bush is doing the same thing to the
nation he did to Texas, and in even less time.
The same thing is, obviously,
the endless Bush Jr. mantra:
Tax cuts good, regulation bad;
tax cuts good, regulation bad."
--Texas politician

Subject: Tax refund check
Am sorry, that instead of sending
my tax relief check to Bartcop as a donation,
I instead decided to send it to the Republican
Party, to show them just how much
I appreciate all they have done for the
common man....the check says it all.
...........IT WAS NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep up the good work!

Ali,
If only you owned an oil company.
That check would've been for millions...
NEWS
DETERMINED BY WHO DEFINES IT
The Record; Bergen County, N.J.; Aug 30, 2001;
Excerpt:
The difference in the way the Clinton/Condit
cases are being handled,
and the way the Giordano/Scarborough cases
are being handled
is proof positive that the "Great Liberal
Media Conspiracy"
much touted by the right is in fact a myth,
and indeed,
the media now shows a decided rightward
slant.
Fox News Channel's motto is "We Report,
You Decide."
But their practice is "We Report
What We Decide."
Information is power, and the American
people are being fed
very selective information and believing
it's true because
the messenger has the word news
in its name.

Subject: Stop going after the
Democrats!
Note: Edited for length
Republicans stick together even when they disagree,
but we Democrats can't seem to stop criticizing
each other.
You would do well to remember a phrase coined
by Red-ink Reagan:
"Thou shalt not speak ill of a fellow party member."
And as for all those pink tutu things, you would
do well to remember that most
of Clinton's appointments (at least in his cabinet)
were not stonewalled by the GOP,
despite their reputation for such skullduggery.
Whoa!
Who are these Democrats with reputations for "skullduggery?"
I don't recall Clinton stacking his team with people who needed pardons
to
escape jail when the truth of their actions was about to come out.
Besides, Clinton won two elections, fair and square, and he appointed
centrists.
You didn't see Barney Frank or Ted Kennedy given quick affirmation
at Justice.
I mean shit, they didn't even object to Bill Daley.
You didn't see conservative
columnists raving about the "pink tutu GOP bending
over for Clinton," did you?
"Even Bill Daley?"
The only Daley crime I'm familiar with is his giving up in Florida.
Where are you getting your "facts?"
That's cause conservatives know better than to
rail against one of their own.
I refuse to criticize the Democrats; they're
all we have left. There's no reason to
break up the party over a few crappy appointments.
I'm not trying to break up the party. I'm trying
to get them to earn their paychecks
and be a little bit loyal to those who elected
them. They weren't elected by Bush.
And like I've said before, it's pretty damn rare
when someone doesn't
get confirmed unless they've committed murder.
Stop it!
Bush lost the popular vote but he's nominating right-wing, racist tobacco
whores
like he won all 50 states in a landslide. The majority of Americans
DO NOT want
to go the direction Bush wants to go, and the Senate Demosheep don't
seem to realize that.
You're turning into a Green radical.
Remember, politics is about compromise.
Craig
Yes, politics is about compromise.
It's not about giving the unelected
Boy King everything he wants.

Excerpt:
"Nice
boots, Bill,"
a girl shouted.
"Thanks,
I got these boots in Australia. I also have some from Texas," he said
in a reference to President Weak & Stupid, pausing while the audience
laughed,
"
... where I once took a very brief vacation."
Football Mistake?
From: Doc
Subject: Florida State is NOT ranked ahead of Oklahoma - UF is!
I'm a big FSU fan - and I'm not sure we
deserve #5 even.
But PLEASE don't confuse FSU with those
lizards from Gainesville!
From: Brian
I would never abandon bartcop.com
because of some politically incorrect thing that you
might say, but when you confuse my Florida
Gators with the scummy Florida State Criminals,
that is hitting a little to close to home.
That's like confusing Chinaco with a store brand
Note:
I intentionally switched the names of Florida and Florida State
to attempt to gauge
the level of passion concerning the two second-tier Florida college
football teams.
The experiment was a success
Only
the Wind
by Carol Schiffler
Excerpt:
Will we find that ugly and unspeakable
things happened during Election 2000?
Will we learn the truth about Dick Cheney’s
closed-door meetings on energy and social security?
Will we like what we discover?
Will we finally glimpse the master plan
behind Star Wars and FCC deregulatory rulings?
Or have we all simply become so used to
the Latin-speaking, disembodied head that we invite it
to go bowling instead of demanding that
it return to the dark place from whence it came?
George Santayana once said those who do
not learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them.
The house of democracy has been haunted
by evil spirits in the past.

Why did Colin Powell make secret trips to Panama
last week?
Why did he sneak off to Colombia?
Why doesn't the American press know about this?
Bush-style secret diplomacy is back.
Making deals behind the scenes.
Monies and weapons changing hands in shady ways.
Innocent workers and farmers to pay the price.

Bad Winter
for JEB and Florida
by William Sterner
Excerpt:
Tourist Season is still a couple months
off. With Dubya’s Oil Friends
looking gleefully at this winters heating
oil market, added to Dubya’s Recession,
this could mean a very very poor Florida
Tourist Season.
If the Recession deepens and more and more
people are out of work up North,
people will start cutting back on their
vacation plans. Bad news for Florida.

Did
Oklahoma Execute and Innocent Man?
Memo disputes chemist's findings about executed man
Excerpt:
The July 31 memo by a fellow lab scientist
for the OKCity Police Department refers to the case
of Malcolm R Johnson, who was executed
on Jan. 6, 2000, after being convicted in 1982 of rape
and murder. Johnson, who had
served time for two previous rapes, insisted he was innocent.
At Johnson's trial, Gilchrist testified
that six samples taken from the victim's bedroom showed
semen consistent with his blood type. But
a July 30 re-examination of those slides showed
"spermatozoa is not present,"
says the memo signed by chemist Laura Schile.

Who ran that untrue Clinton story?
If you guessed The Globe - you were right!
If you guessed The New York Times - you're also right.
The NY Times just used slightly less color on their front page.
Others who ran with this lie include the New York Post, The New York
Daily News,
The Washington Times, The Boston Herald and Washington Weekly.
Recounts
could have given Gore the edge
Broward, Palm Beach checked
Excerpt:
In Broward, where the official hand recount
added 567 votes to Gore's county lead over Bush,
a Herald-sponsored ballot review found
that Gore's margin could have been 1,475, if every mark
had been counted as a valid vote. In Palm
Beach, where the official hand recount added a net gain
of 174 votes to Gore's tally, the Herald-sponsored
review found a potential Gore net gain of 1,081.
