Ashcroft?!

Dude, this bill was proposed by Sen. Biden a democrat from Delaware! This has very little to do with the Attorney General.

This is a bill to reclassify certain prohormones as controlled substances.

Christ, I hope some of you people stay home on election day....

According to Reuters the bill was proposed by Biden and Hatch a republican. I dont have anything against republicans, I am one, however this administration seems to have gotten a little to self rightous and a little to religous for my taste. Not that I think Kerry will be any better, I just think there are bigger things to worry about than juice. What will the administration do on a second term when both Cheney and Bush have no other political aspirations???? IE its not like they will be running for anything else. At that point they wont care who the piss off.

**Mr. Death** · 10-23-2004, 05:43 PM

This issue has nothing to do with political persuasion. The media hype has put pressure on the government to act due to their misinformation on the dangers of steroids . The media has basically put the message out there (without any research or evidence) that if you do steroids you will die. So, lately it has become a goverment fad to bash on steroids and steroid users. The majority of it is just to get the media off their backs. In a perfect world the journalists might actually want to do some research and fact checking before they run with stories that have no merit.

**Anhydro78** · 10-23-2004, 05:54 PM

If the president didnt sign this democratic lead bill, the democrates would have a feild day with that. John Kerry would be telling everyone at his rallys that Bush dont care about our youth and everything else.

We just have to wait untill our numbers increase then take over..

**Mart651** · 10-23-2004, 06:00 PM

I am shocked on how little people know about how our governmant works.
I mean ****, how can anyone blame this on the president or Ashcroft?

I can't believe we let ignorant people vote. I figure if you don't even know how it works you shouldn't be a part of it.

Lord help us.

Next step will be Rx from a doctor for protein. No Rx, no protein

**trailboss** · 10-23-2004, 06:18 PM

Y'all know that this type of thing has to pass in the SENATE and CONGRESS to become law.

That means Dem's and Repub's have to vote on it...they are all guilty of ignorant, knee-jerk reacting...

From January 1st 2006 you will require a prescription to purchase vitamins in The Eu (Europe Union). I wonder how many bottles of centrum a-zinc I'll need a day to replace what I'm using now.

HA HA! Socialists!

Ok, maybe I shouldn't be laughing. We all should be worried about this kind of legislation.
