Many apologies.  I have confused Mr. Mauro with Mr. Paulsen of Minnesota.  I
apologise to you personally, Mr. Mauro, for the mistaken identity.  However
my statements re: mono-focus on issues still stand.

Ah, but Mr. Mauro is a candidate for public office, is he not?  By token of
that very fact, his contextualization of what other politicos state is
suspect.  Regarding Mr. Nader, I respect the man not so much for his
political bent, but for his willingness to ride that ship to the bottom of
the sea.

Also, Mr. Mauro, disabled as we are, there ARE other issues to be concerned
about than our disabilities.  Would seem to me that you have built a
political career around yours.  Would you care to speak to the Gaza Strip
question?  US involvement in NATO?  Alternatives to fossil fuels?  The state
of US public schools?

It's a darn shame you SEEM to take your entire identity from your broken
body, when your mind is so obviously healthy and vibrant.

 let Medicare wither on the vine.



while i can't support either party, bob, i can support the truth. the above
line attributed to the then speaker of the house was a doctored tape. a cut
and splice so to say. a federal agency was what was said would wither on the
vine (not medicare) and in context it was said because of poor performace by
that agency.

this is not a political forum, but, we do let political statements be made.
but, lets do at least keep to truthful statements.

now just an analsyt, not meant to be a statement of support, nader might
just force the major parties to move toward his views.
