22. Why not? Is it so sad and pathetic that lying by omission is necessary to sell it?

If it is any good it will stand the test. If not, down the drain it goes.

There ought to be people going to jail for delivering a half-assed web site and getting $150 million to put in their greedy little pockets, and the same for banksters posting record profits while getting $85 billion a month to make money from the taxpayers, while 26,000 people are applying for 600 jobs in the Walmart Industrial Complex and 50 million kids, working folk and seniors, our neighbors, have to survive on about $3.50 a day for food.

You want to beat the Republicans? Make life better for working people in this country, not excuses for ineptness and criminal behavior.
