More Dems needed

I don't think President Bush needs another rubber-stamp Republican in Congress like U.S. Rep. James Saxton, R-Mount Holly. So I hope people don't vote for state Sen. Tom Kean Jr., R-Westfield, for the U.S. Senate. Anything Bush wants, he gets, up until lately since it's near election time. I mean, after all, he has only had to use his veto once because he's had no sizable Republican vote against his agenda. We need more Democrats to keep Bush and his cohorts straight. You just have to look at our pharmaceutical policies, which don't allow Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug prices with the pharmaceutical industry, one of the Republicans' biggest contributors. The bottom line is that most Republicans are not for the small guy. Given the chance, they would destroy Medicare and Social Security while making sure the oil companies earn bigger profits.
