The average citizen will say things are working, but the small print shows it's a smoke and mirrors game," Cohen said. "It's really quieter in Baghdad because of ethnic cleansing, concrete walls, checkpoints and al-Sadr declared a cease fire. We haven't defeated them or got them on our side.

Government restrictions should only be considered where takeovers ...
He's been a public advocate for using policy to protect certain sectors of the Canadian economy from takeover. As well, nowadays D'Alessandro figures bank consolidation might be a good idea."I was against bank mergers when they were first proposed in 1998, because I didn't think they were in the country's interest," he said, during a CEO discussion panel at the conference. "I've changed my mind now because I think the industry has evolved." He cites the emergence of insurance industry as a viable banking alternative in Canada as one of the most influential changes. "Increasingly, the products that we offer resemble what the banks offer and vice versa," adding that perhaps Canada's small population can't sustain the ten or 11 companies now providing banking services, thus making mergers a viable option.
GOP, especially Richardson, at high risk in the House
For Republican legislators, it's a loser either way. Vote in favor and the hordes of interest groups and individuals lined up in opposition will find the challengers. Vote against and the opponent will come from those who think their property taxes are too high and that illegal immigrants and others are escaping the fair-share taxation they'd get with an expanded sales tax.

McCain and Romney running close in Florida
The winner in Florida will move to the top of the pack in the seesawing state-by-state race to pick the Republican party's candidate in November's presidential election. McCain and Romney have split the last four contests. McCain won in South Carolina and New Hampshire and Romney carried Michigan and Nevada, the latter a state scarcely contested by other Republicans. Huckabee won the kick-off contest in Iowa. New York Sen. Hillary Clinton easily won a Florida Democratic race that featured no active campaigning because of a dispute between the national and state parties. The national party stripped the state of its delegates to the national convention and Democratic candidates pledged to stay away. But Clinton, who lost to rival Barack Obama in a landslide in South Carolina on Saturday, visited Florida after polls closed in a bid to claim at least a symbolic victory.

Ideology has no party affiliation. And PLEASE don't speak for the rest of us liberals who believe that conservative-bashing is a weak and ineffectual way to make a point. Sign me, "Sick of the Political Games — and the Food Fight too" Hoosier Prof, at 1:56 pm EST on January 22, 2007 .
