Democrats
Awaken on Iraq, But Not on Immigration
Recently I received a jaunty email heads-up
from DNC Chair Howard Dean about what AP covered in its November

contributor.) Finally, Democrats in the Senate were acting like
they should have long since about the Bush rush into the Iraq
War. |

Fox
still sees hope for Bush's outrageous shamnesty scam
Veracruz, Ver., Mex. -- In the final
year of his presidency, Vicente
Fox still thinks the U.S. will endorse a guest-

embrace more international trade as the path out of poverty.
