To All Thinking American Voters:

I am OUTRAGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Democrats accusing Republicans of Still campaigning!!!!!!!!! WHAT do they think THEY were doing BEFORE THE NIGHT WAS OVER???? PICKING SOMEONE TO REPLACE WELLSTONE. If that wasn't POLITICS, I don't know what it was. It is ONLY when REPUBLICANS make a suggestion "3 DAYS LATER" that it is considered politics.

As an American voter I want to have people put in office with a vote that we the American People cast.

WHAT DO WE HAVE?

1. Stand up NEW JERSEY. You DON'T get to vote for a candidate YOU PICKED. You get one that was PICKED IN THE BACK ROOM by party BOSSES.

2. Laws don't COUNT anymore because 51 DAYS AREN'T 51 DAYS anymore according to the DNC. Why do the voters have to obey the laws?

3. It is IMMORAL for Republicans to even think about the upcoming election which IS important to every American.

4. ONLY DEMOCRATS can have meetings to pick a replacement in the UPCOMING election with that STALWART, OUTSTANDING, LAW BREAKER, TED KENNEDY AT THE FOREFRONT and ANOTHER OUTSTANDING IMMORAL MAN WITH "KNEE PADS", BILL CLINTON ON THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE.

5.Voters are not entitled to hear what the NEW OLD candidate will have to say if he doesn't have a SENIOR MOMENT!!!!!!!!!!! I can say that because I am a senior citizen.

WAKE UP AMERICANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SOME PEOPLE WILL DO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING TO WIN AN ELECTION.

WHY do we even have a CONSTITUTION anymore?

Doesn't the Bill of Rights MEAN anything anymore?

WAKE UP AMERICANS. THE CONSTITUTION GUARANTEES US A COUNTRY OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE----NOT RUN BY POLITICIANS--- THAT CAN'T COUNT--- IN BACK ROOMS.

Sincerely,
Betty

The Politics of Grieving
Is it unfair for Republicans to start beating up on Walter Mondale before Paul Wellstone's body is even buried? Not really.

Wellstone Funeral Party!

	Former President Clinton enjoys a laugh with former Vice President Walter Mondale (soon Senate Candidate Mondale) and his wife Joan Mondale at the memorial service for Sen. Paul Wellstone. Wellstone, his wife, his daughter and three campaign workers died in a tragic plane crash on Oct. 25. .

Mr. Vice President (Republican)
Please Don't Come to the Funeral

White House spokesman Scott Stanzel said Vice President Dick Cheney had planned to attend.

"The [Wellstone] family was appreciative," Stanzel said. But the plan was changed after conversations with the family, he said.

Vice President Dick Cheney

This from the Star Tribune explains why the family did not want Cheney to attend.

Though it was billed as a memorial service, many irate viewers and Republican leaders said the gathering for U.S. Sen. Paul Wellstone and five others degenerated at times into a blatant political rally.

"What a complete, total, absolute sham," said Vin Weber, a former U.S. representative from Minnesota. "The DFL clearly intends to exploit Wellstone's memory totally, completely and shamelessly for political gain. To them, Wellstone's death, apparently, was just another campaign event."

Cheney mistakenly assumed he would be attending a memorial service...

Mondale Scrambles to Replace Wellstone Minnesota Democrats and even former Republican Gov. Arne Carlson are sputtering with indignation that the state GOP has issued a debate challenge to Walter Mondale, the presumptive replacement candidate for Sen. Paul Wellstone.

But what few media will report is that shortly after Wellstone's death, Mondale was after his job. That juicy nugget came courtesy of Fox News Channel this evening.

God created so many beautiful people!
