ABOUT DAMN TIME!!

[maestro]

REPUBLICANS PRESENT BILL TO GET U.S. OUT OF THE UN!

?......Exactly,......"Who is 'Mr. Bill'.......?"

(Must be some 'internationalist' type?)

[Brett66]

I'd love to see what the vote on the floor would be. Probably won't pass.

[NormsRevenge]

[dark_lord]

It would be great if it passed the House. Of course it wouldn't pass the Senate but it would scare the absolute crap out of the UN and the European papers and bureaucrats would freak out. They wouldn't be able to just blame "that cowboy Bush" if the measure passed the US House.

The result would have a very positive impact all the way around even though it wouldn't pass the Senate...this time.

[PianoMan]

Somebody ping the Tancredo fan club...

[Teacher317]

WOO-HOO!!

[CIBvet]

Whooooo - Hooooo !!!!!!

EVERYBODY call your Congresscritter TODAY and insist they Co-sponsor this bill, or write you a detailed letter for publication and distribution, why not !!

[Malesherbes]

I'd love to see this happen, but it probably won't. The liberals would go ballistic. More practical would be simply keep cutting our financial support until the bureaucrats begin to starve.

[Damocles]

YEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

[TaxRelief]

There is something sadistically delightful about saying we belong to the UN then paying nothing...NOTHING...not even one red cent.

[Mulder]

Not only will the US not withdraw from the UN, I predict that the US will give even more money to the UN next year.

[firewalk]

bttt

[NonValueAdded]

No, picture Manuel on Fawlty Towers: "I will get your bill".

But to be series, this could be hugh.

[Hildy]

I wish my Father was alive to see this!

[NonValueAdded]

PING!!!!

[solzhenitsyn]

Sounds wonderful. Where's the actual text of the bill? Didn't see it in the linked item.

[Diplomat]

Hooray!

[votelife]

bttt

[Dahlseide]

Many years ago I revered any with the CIB, but later I learned to limit my praise to Army service, and not automatically extend it to, for example, government.

I extend my praise to you beyond your Army service

[Faraday]

This is an excellent development. Americans have been inculcated by the liberal media and educational institutions for 55 years about the "vital" role of the UN. Well, after the fiasco with the Iraq crisis, the UN must be very suspect in many people's minds. This resolution could be very useful in further exposing and de-ligitimizing the UN in the eyes of Americans. I would not expect support from the President and the administration at this stage. But the ground work is being laid for the dismantlement of this socialist abomination.

[herewego]

a five spot says you're right.. dammit

[Capitalism2003]

I love Ron Paul...this is awesome! We need to freep the moderates and get them on board!

[floriduh voter]

Holy cow. I find it interesting they waited until Dubya was "over there". Personally, President Bush probably finds the UN a farce but his hands are kind of tied at the moment.

Isn't Castro in charge of human rights at the UN now? That's rich.

[Lunatic Fringe]

[maestro]

UR#19..........

:-)

[AGreatPer]

"I predict that the US will give even more money to the UN next year."

Your probably correct. But wouldn't it be sweet if Bush put this up as a "TAX CUT" for the American economy?

[spokeshave]

Sounds like time to fire up the Executive Order....after the nuclear option on the Senate for judges.

[softengine]

PING PING PING!!!!

[bootless]

Awesome! Happy to see R Pombo in there - the local rags and letter writers have been pillorying him lately.

[Calpernia]

WOW! Can you imagine? PING!

[Salman]

Isn't Castro in charge of human rights at the UN now? That's rich.

Actually it's now Kadaffy, no less.

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

Interesting... most of the members of Rep. Paul's Liberty Committee are not on the cosponsor list, even though the website says that the Committee backs the bill. Wonder why the others haven't signed on?

[not_apathetic_anymore]

bump for later

[monkeyshine]

We would never leave. Why? We have a veto. If we leave, they get to run it as is.

What we should do is simply demand a more proportional financial representation and withhold anything beyond, and then veto everything.

[grapeape]

This is very short sighted!!! We are going to get killed on this one. Once this bill dies a horrible death and get demonized in the press as a "kook" bill presented by "kooks" then the UN and it's allies will be emboldened. We will have gotten no where! From the looks of things you guys are having a blast running off to battle. We'll see how much fun you are having when you have set our cause back immeasurably. Good job guys.

[PhiKapMom]

Cong Lucas from Okalhoma is a straight shooter and as down to earth as they come! So glad to see he is on board with this bill!

[hedgetrimmer]

Gee it'll be fun to send a letter to my Rep, Sam Farr, the guy with the UN flag at his office in DC and in Carmel. Yep, it'll be fun to ask him to support this bill. I'll get back another one of his insulting derogatory replies. Such a man of the people! Such a friend to the citizen! Such a loyal American !

[PhiKapMom]

Thanks for the ping -- glad to see Cong Lucas as a co-sponsor!

[Reagan Man]

My representative Joel Hefley (CO) is onboard too.

I'd enjoy seeing this pass, but I don't think its gonna happen.

[goodseedhomeschool]

Now that would be great news if it happened.

[rwfromkansas]

This is the House.

Our House folks are pretty good. Delay is gung-ho about gutting the income tax and replacing it with the FairTax and is a co-sponsor of the Linder bill.

Unfortunately, we need a stronger group of tough conservatives in the Senate.....and a filibuster-proof majority. Unless some miracle happens and the economy next year makes the 90's look like the Great Depression, this is almost impossible. If the economy isn't tanking...basically if it stays pretty stable with some areas of growth and some areas of suckiness like we see now...I think we will be in good shape to keep the Presidency and perhaps increase our Senate numbers by a couple seats and gain a good number in the House. But, not enough to get this type of stuff through.

If I had my way there would not be one committee in Congress; everything would get debated and voted on the floor......with no filibusters allowed and that goes for when we are in the minority also. EVERY BILL DESERVES A VOTE. But, the committees largely do not serve a noble purpose; they serve to block bills. Many many bills do not get get out of there. Thus, we need a massive majority to enact any major changes.....committees will kill it otherwise.

[PhiKapMom]

Don't think it is going to pass either but sure is nice to see it submitted! More and more I think flyover country should be their own country!
