his appearance, group sex, groping women, and lying about his past. No, it’s not a Kennedy or a Clinton, it’s Arnold Schwarzenegger! Where is the outrage from the right-wing crypto fascists on cable news? How come Ann Coulter hasn’t written about this scan- dal? Why aren’t conservative demagogues like Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Bill O’Reilly, Neil Cavetto, and Pat Buchanan railing about the “character” issue that was so important during the Clinton scandal? Where is the outrage? Ooops! I just remembered: “Ah-nuld” is a Republican! Oh, those hypocritical conserva- tives! They out to rename their party the “Republicrites.” Pete Giberson Eugene FOR THE KIDS Ah, Oregon, what a cash-cow rich place it is. The Legislature made national news pay- ing and costing itself all the overtime for its terminal late sessions, which brewed two seizures of non-voluntary funds: the first an outright tax increase and the other a single issue ballot measure to fund a criminal theft of money that is bankrupting the state on a lifetime basis with no termination date. Even with the new bond measure it will continue to force the children who can’t vote today to pay for it tomorrow. Oregon has found a way to tax the children of the future. It is alleged that the bond measure has been voted into law, yet everyone knows that bonds are paid back by taxes and under the tax laws of Oregon there wasn’t the necessary number of voters to pass a tax measure on the youth of Oregon. Then there is the nature of the con- testable punch card ballots used in this county which have already been deemed by a federal court as a civil rights violation dur- ing the ballot measure vote. Which leads us to the director of our local voting system who has been quoted in print saying that if `necessary, there were tricks that could be done with the vote to help pass any civil tax increase measure. There is nothing like employment secu- rity with a guaranteed 8 percent a year retire- ment increase to protect an ongoing crime against the youth of Oregon. It’s “for the kids,” don’t you know? We love you to death! Daniel Moore Springfield buy sell trade TO THE EDITOR Hmm... how can I top last Halloween’s costume? 131 E. 5th Ave (between Oak & Pearl) 687-2805 BUFFALOEXCHANGE .
