Tom DeLay Takes a Quiz
It looks they found some pretty incriminating documents showing that Tom DeLay, the House Republican Leader, was pretty darned involved in taking those crazy, and probably illegal, contributions from corporations in Texas. Shame, Shame.
Documents subpoenaed from an indicted fund-raiser for Tom DeLay, the House majority leader, suggest that Mr. DeLay was more actively involved than previously known in gathering corporate donations for a political committee that is the focus of a grand-jury investigation in Texas, his home state.
So, I found this quiz and since Mr. DeLay wasn't around to answer the questions, I figured I'd just fill them in as I figure good ol' boy Tommy would do.
1. Why do we have rules and laws?
to keep the Democrats in line. As the majority party, we are allowed to either legislate around them or break them at our whim.
2. Many of the laws under which we live in are in the _________________.
shitter. Especially that pesky one about not accepting contributions from corporations. That one needs to be flushed. Twice. No floaters should remain.
3. Americans believe that the people should rule themselves, and that each person is important and that no one should be denied his or her rights.
The government guarantees certain freedoms they are:
Me and the other Congressional Republicans.
5. Does freedom of speech and press mean we can tell lies and write false statements about another person?
Abso-toot-a-loot-ly! Look how successful those Switfies were. Yee-Haw!

Good as far as it goes, Cookie, but I still want their answers as to why they ignore the premises in the ensuing questions:
Cooperation is useful and essential for any civilization to survive. Working together to hunt, kill, and protect themselves from enemies was easier if they cooperated. When large groups of people are living together they found it necessary to have a government to help keep order among the group. Usually the strongest person in the group became the leader or when food was scarce the leader would be the best hunter.
Providing Services:
Over the years government has grown more complex overtime. But the basic purposes remain the same, to provide ways for people to live and work together.

Yes, and if all our Congressmen were like Biden and Lieberman, and we bent over for... er, I mean, cooperated with the Republicans, then we wouldn't have to worry about any of that silly separation-of-powers-thingy or two-party-system-silliness. And we'd all live happily. Ever. After.
