actually, you're wrong. That edit is from a democratic party newsletter, and the story was carried by AP from the Washington Post, I believe.

Thanks, Snowy, for posting that link.
They advocate fixing our government by means that are unsuccessful: creation of other political parties, voter elections, and protests. Each of these three things have been neutralized by the reigning political parties in Wasington. Furthermore, they do not have a very good list of what they intend on doing once they are successful, because 40 years of corruption needs to be rolled back in order to restore our governement to us. But it is good to see that others are angry and are trying to do something about it. There's just too many horrified and complacent people still wondering what to do about it.

Yes, the major corporations are becoming aware of our dissatisfaction and ordered him to go switch parties. He's a True Republican, with those silly notions that do not work, and is just as greedy as all the rest. This guy was described as being a "Liberal Republican", but switching to the Democratic side, so the analysis went on CNN, would make him the most conservative Democrat.
It's like I've been saying: both sides are no good for us - they are one party now. Why bother to call yourselves Republicans or Democrats anymore? I just wish that the two parties in Washington would confess their cedeption of being two seperate parties and simply merge together into one party. Then everyone would see the One Party Rule of Tyranny that they've been perpetuating for some time now.

I know how strongly you feel about this Borillar. I don't know, honestly what is going to happen with this switch. I guess we will see.
From todays Seattle Times
Jeffords, a moderate Republican who is often at odds with his party and who angered the White House by breaking with the president on his tax-cut plan, met privately with Vice President Dick Cheney and later with Bush at the White House.
Other question marks hanging over the Senate include the frail health of 98-year-old Sen. Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., and the mushrooming scandal over campaign contributions to Sen. Robert Torricelli, D-N.J.
