Subject: Re: George W. Bushs leadership record


What I dont know is inhowfar are those things in the competence of the
different single states, inhowfare are they federal money etc...and I
would also like to know how it was before the Bush governement in Texas.
Far away from this Federal entity, all I know is that there is still a
division between the south and the north. In the south the republicans
are more liberal than the democrats, isnt it ? Lincoln etc... So bashing
the republicans, isnt this simply the supremacy of the north ?
