28Plain Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 "Pillars of Democracy" my @$$. The US isn't a democracy. This CCAC was established to allow the administration to pay off a campaign fundraiser by giving him a high salaried no-show job. The recipient of the job has turned out to be a thief, so there's no way to defend keeping the committee. It should be abolished and defunded.

UncleBobo Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Exactly what is the purpose of this committee? Is it to ruin every good idea that it gets? Look at the california quarter. The people of California picked the gold miner quarter and they ended up with the butt ugly sierra club quarter. No matter what image the people pick the mint usually destroys it in the refining. Oh, what is this "Pillars of Democracy" series anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
