For all of the talk about republican social issues even with a majority they didn't do much about it random thoughts Send a noteboard - 29/08/2010 10:25:22 PM
You can argue that Bush limited stem cell research but I think funding still increased but for the rest the republicans really have not done much at the federal level to forward a their social agenda beyond talk and rattle sabers. Unlike the liberals they know it will cost them the center to cater to their base in any meaningful way.

How many companies actually pay that corporate tax rate, though? Legolas - 30/08/2010 03:37:47 PM 970 Views
