Homestead mailing list

["Lynda" <lurine AT com-pair.net>]

Everyone needs to do some intense studying of Delphi 'Technique and Alinsky 
Method.  Townhall meetings are NOT about voicing opinions.  Townhall 
meetings are about forcing consensus.

And, yes, you are missing something.  And yes, the time to sell it was 
before ramming it down the throats of the public.

1)  They thought they could sell it but didin't count on quite so many 
people actually reading the pork barrel bill.

2)  They need to sell it now because they are facing "vote out the 
incumbant" in a big way!

Ya know, I'm pretty sure I mentioned on this list that he was an active 
member of the Socialist Party for years.  ~~ sigh ~~ Guess folks weren't 
listening then either.

So, when y'all planning on learning Chinese?
