Hanspal said the Congress Government had released required funds for the 'Galilara Yojna' (beautification of the surroundings of the Golden Temple) while the SAD Government had failed to complete the same during their five-year term in the past. .
US elections 2004
For supporters of John Kerry, who have seen allegations about the Democratic candidate's military record sap his campaign, it must have seemed like a case of just deserts.
The president, George Bush, was last week looking vulnerable on the same grounds after CBS's flagship current affairs show, 60 Minutes, broadcast a report claiming he had been suspended from pilot duties for failing to meet the required standards. It was also claimed that a commanding officer had been put under pressure to "sugar coat" Mr Bush's performance reviews.
But while CBS stands by its story, allegations have now surfaced that 60 Minutes based a large part of the report on forged documents.
Although what one man - even a presidential candidate - did more than 30 years ago can seem rather trivial, the US election is being fought between a self-declared "war president" and a man who, in stump speeches, claims he would defend his country as president in the way he had defended it as a young man.
Right Wingers Endangering America
Jane Stillwater: Iran, Israel, Pakistan, Russia, China, Vermont: Let's just bomb ALL their nuclear plants! (3 comments) When I was in Iraq, I saw small shoots of hope & positive progress springing up as the Iraqis, with the help of many dedicated & enlightened members of the US military, worked really hard to try to put the pieces of their poor country back into place. And then I came back to America, only to find that the cold clouded atmosphere of "Bomb them back to the Stone Age" still prevails here, & even the Left wants its pound of flesh.

Jeff Thelen's Blog
Think Iowa and New Hampshire will like it? No Way. I don't really know the answer, but I do know it's not working the way it is now. That's what I HATE THE PRIMARY SYSTEM. J Respond to Jeff's blog here: Dear JeffYour grandfather had the right idea about choosing who to vote for, ie: choose a person not a party. And I agree with you that the primary system in theis country is seriously broke'. My only problem with all this is WHY DON'T WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?! We live in a very unusual and unique country where we, the people, control our own destinies and our government. Too many of us have forgotten that. If we don't like what's going on in government then it is up to US to change it. Certainly the politicians are not going to unless we send them a clear message about what we want.
