...many. Having already abandoned gun safety for electoral gain, Washington thumbsuckers are already advising the party to shed civil liberties, the separation of church and state, and fiscal responsibility from its agenda, too. All in response to a campaign in which Kerry’s vacillation was the richest Republican target. I do not know of a single swing voter the Democrats lost because they opposed cop-killer bullets and government intrusion in churches and libraries, and fought for a balanced budget. But I do know that silence on those issues is just as damaging as an offensively leftist position...
...watched and heavily bankrolled races, the G.O.P. prevailed. In Missouri Matt Blunt, the son of four-term Congressman Roy Blunt, beat state auditor Claire McCaskill; the two candidates spent a combined $7.3 million, also a likely state record.

If history repeats itself, millions of people could be thrown out of work in some of the world's poorest and most politically volatile countries?and in the richest as well. On Oct. 12, a coalition of U.S. textile manufacturers and labor groups, claiming that thousands of American jobs might be lost after quotas are lifted, petitioned Washington to impose trade restrictions on imports of Chinese-made trousers, cotton shirts and other goods...
...Domestic Products of such financially sluggish countries as Luxembourg, Bolivia and Cambodia.Most of us will never have so much money in our lifetimes (though for some budding entrepreneurs it’s not out of the question). In fact, in 2004, Johnny Harvard would only rank as the fourth richest person in the world, according to Forbes—right ahead of Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen (20 billion), but well behind Bill Gates (48 billion).
