With the GOP gaining control of the Senate, Senator Trent Lott will now
\nbecome Majority Leader. I haven’t been impressed with his lackluster leadership
\nabilities in the past, but this is a vast improvement over the obstructionist
\nSen. Tom Daschle. I hope and pray that the Partial Birth Abortion Ban will now
\nquickly move forward to be voted on. The Congress has already passed a version
\nbut the Senate was never allowed to vote on it. It will definitely be progress
\nto get at least this horrific procedure removed, which would be a milestone in
\nthe pro-life cause. The Total Cloning Ban should also now move forward. <\/p>\n
I was also happily surprised that Oregon which had previously passed assisted For the It is fitting that “Jumping” Jim Jeffords who I remember earlier yesterday feeling some doom and gloom about the chances of With the GOP gaining control of the Senate, Senator Trent Lott will now become Majority Leader.

\nsuicide legislation by referendum
\nagainst<\/a> the universal health care measure. I
\npreviously why I thought that this legislation was a bad idea.<\/p>\n
\nfirst time Florida has reelected a Republican Governor, even thought Jeb Bush
\nwas the prime opposition target. Unfortunately I am still being represented by
\nthe pro-death pro-corruption Corrine Brown. Here in Florida the pig pro-life
\ncause was successful with a constitutional amendment protecting pregnant pigs,
\nthough I voted against adding this to the Florida Constitution. Florida voters
\nalso approved an amendment limiting class sizes, which I think is stupid since I
\nthere isn’t any evidence of a connection between learning and small class sizes.
\nAn out of control public school class with only 34 students is still a problem.
\nThe problem is with political correctness, low expectations, and discipline; not
\nstudent-teacher ratios. Also elected was Charles Bronson (R) for Commissioner of
\nAgriculture so any crop killers out there had better not mess with him unless
\nthey have a death wish.<\/p>\n
\njumped from the Republicans to gain chairmanship of the Senate Environment and
\nPublic Works Committee under the Democrats will now be left totally out in the
\ncold in Senate politics.<\/p>\n
\na pro-life victory with the Republicans taking control of the Senate. Saint
\nTeresa of Avila’s words came to me that “God alone is sufficient” and in the
\nlong run victories and defeats will always end up in his hands. I also
\nremembered what Mother Teresa had said, that “We are not called to be
\nsuccessful, we are called to be faithful.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
