"Dreier, the ranking member on the Rules Committee, is chairman of the state’s GOP delegation and his extensive ties to California’s lucrative business community make him one of his party’s leading fundraisers. He also is extremely close to California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R)."
Immediately greeted with
shakes head muttering about right wing morons and bigots, either votes for Rudy or checks out the dems.
As one who won't vote for Rudy in the primaries under any conceivable circumstance, it's an embarassment to see dozens if not hundreds of posts under keywords like CROSSDRESSER OR JULIEANNIE.
Dreier's a good guy.
Huh???
"If I say my opinion is that the moon is made of green cheese I am stating something that is NOT true"
You would not be lying if you actually believe d the moon was made of cheese, even if it was not factually correct. (not true DOES NOT EQUAL lie)
If you said the moon is made of green cheese you are making a statement a fact (even if it is wrong), and it is not a 'lie' if you believe it to be truly made of cheese. A lie is when you knowingly state a falsehood.
If you expressed your opinion (as in "I THINK moon cheese is delicious"") then that would be different. It is not correct or incorrect, it is your opinion.
There is a difference you obviously do not understand.
Last, it is very impolite and immature to start a discussion by telling someone 'Don't lie"
It's similar in the sense that they both opted for 1-A status after receiving high lottery numbers. That's just the way it worked. Clinton signed an enlistment agreement, and then backed out. I've still never gotten an acceptable explanation of how that could be done.
Homophobe is an invented hit word, designed to stifle diversity of opinion. There is no such thing as a widespread irrational fear of homosexuals. There is a widespread natural distaste for homosexuality. Equating the two is rhetorically dishonest and engaging in a tactic of the Leftists.
What's wrong with Vlad the Impaler? He knew how to deal with radical Islamic expansionism.
Merely because I do not recognize a lie as a lie does not mean the statement "the moon is made of green cheese" is not a lie.
Why is he healthier now to run against her? What does he have in his closet that she knows about him?
I also never used the phrase "Republican media", I said he was the current Republican media darling, i.e., the Republican the media is currently fawning over.
The point is, stop calling opinions lies when you have nothing but your own opinion to fall back on.
LOL!
That is exactly why these clowns post this crap. When one comes out against these loons he immediately gains credibility among the sane.
Not to mention the equally widespread natural distaste for those who crossdress at charity events.
Sorry but he impaled as many Serbs as Moslems, if not more.
A lie would be if you KNOW the moon is made of rock, but you tell everyone it is made of cheese.
If you really believe it is made of cheese you are not lying, you are merely incorrect.
If you want National ID such as we got with Real ID, call Dave Drier.....
The Giuliani campaign should emphasize its candidate's independence from traditional national Republican policies. Especially useful in this strategy is Giuliani's role in overturning a Reagan administration attempt to throw disabled people off the Social Security rolls, his prosecution of Republican elected officials -- especially his authorization for call his boss, Attorney General Edwin Meese III, a sleaze, and his un-Republican views on many social issues of concern to New Yorkers, like abortion, gun control and bias protection for homosexuals. - Giuliani campaign document, 1993
I have a lot of respect for my conservative Republican Senator. I don't believe that Kyl would sell out to "un-Republican" Giuliani.
The best humor has an element of truth to it. But first, you need to be able to sense humor.
Where is this "fawning" you whine about? I have seen only articles discussing his major addresses at big time events.
Persumably you advocate the media enveloping him with a wall of silence so as to not treat the Unknowns unfairly.
Newsmakers MAKE news. And Rudy does that.
I will call a lie a "lie" whether you like it or not.
Expect it. The turncoats deserve the trashing that they will receive. Either support a Republican in the race or Republicans are going to beat on you for endorsing those with views opposite to the Republican Party.
