I highly doubt that we are losing all of our right, if we are its only becuase these equal rights people that complain all the time. I figure if you can sue McDonalds for making the coffee to hot or suing fast food companie becuase they made you fat, your not losing your rights. Also why would ashcroft care if he had more power? If Bush isn't re-elected who goes with him? Ashcroft, knowing that why would ashcroft just give that kind of "power" to the democrats? or to any other party for that matter? The only reason we have to pass these kind of act and laws is becuase our imigration system is all messed up, people come in from canada, mexico, cuba, haiti, africa... all parts of the world, did you know that these people don't have to pay taxes for up to 10 years? So not only do they live off of the welfare system but they don't contribute back to it. We also spend milt-billions of dollars medicaly treating illegal aliens. These poeple run funding organizations for extremist's it gives the chance for sep 11th to happen all over again, i'm not saying Bush is perfect but hes doing alot better than gore, and sep didn't happen becuase bush was ignoring the signs he had been in office for less that what 8-9 months? If you want to blame n e one blame clinton becuase this country went down the whole while he was busy pleasing his intern.
