The Paradox of Unified Control–How Conservatives Can Win Without Bush

I am spending time with Joe because he pollutes every thread with his immigration rants.

Although I also oppose illegal immigration and wish to have a better control of the borders, I also realize that the democrats won't do anything.

All that negativism coming from those people just makes your tagline look all the more timely.

[Neets]

Never mind Silly Willie.

It's ok.

I understand the time-warp thing you are experiencing.

[NittanyLion]

It appears the question is, how soon can the folks on this thread get you banned...the comment's already been made about me.

[arasina]

Okay, riri. We know you are capable of squawking "Never heard of you," so today we will learn a new phrase. Ready?

[Mo1]

Thanks for the info

[Miss Marple]

So, you work for Verizon. Do they pay you for being an "investigator?" Seems to me working at Verizon doesn't account for your previous claims.

[nopardons]

Tons! Go back 200 or so and start reading. :-)

There is a thread up on it now on FR, but with no more information than has been mentioned here. Drudge will have more details in the next day or so.

If bribery charges can be proven, there will be resignations, as there should be.

[NittanyLion]

I've said all along I'll be voting for Bush come November. However, based on your comments somewhere upthread about the importance of my reading #712, something makes me suspect your motivation is to get me banned as opposed to engage in legitimate discussion.

Perhaps (hopefully) I'm misreading your comment...

[NewLand]

I can assure you we will have many fewer third party posters left on FR very soon.

Thank you Jim. As I stated earlier in a different thread, these 3rd party dissidents are supporting the enemy, and should be viewed and treated as such.

By enemy, I'm refering to domestic and foreign enemies.

They have every right to think and believe and vote whatever they want...but so do we. Good riddance to every last one of them.

[nopardons]

You live in a hallucinatory world, but how do you pay for your needs and wnats ? :-)

When it all come out in the wash, I doubt they'll be able to prove bribery.

There's a very real possibility, that some 'true' Conservatives voted in favor of the bill because of other things which were in the bill.

For instance: the increased funding levels for Rural Hospitals, which have lagged behind Urban areas in the reimbursement dept. I know for a fact of at least one CongressCritter who held his nose and voted for the bill due to the increased funding for Rural Hospitals. NEVER in a million years would he have supported the bill if it had been 'stand alone'.

Situations like this could very well be what Drudge has pulled together and decided to call bribery. Drudge is always looking for some attention getting angle on Sunday night to increase his radio number.

Nittany -

I am certainly not trying to get you banned. Considering what Jim Robinson said in #712 about thread jumping and Bush bashing, I'd think you would want to reconsider your posts over the last several days.

They have not contributed anything new to the discussion at hand on those threads and I had not seen you post, although I will take you at your word, that you will vote for Bush regardless of your distaste for some of his proposals.

[Neets]

No, the question was "Who is Pat and where is she/he going".

If someone said something about getting you banned...you should ping that person.

[Mo1]

Perhaps (hopefully) I'm misreading your comment...

I think you misreading her comment

Honest debate is fine and good

Dishonest debate to throw an election to the Dems is a totally different issue

[Jim Robinson]

The FR mission is to work toward returning to constitutional government.

The first major step in achieving this goal was to remove Clinton/Gore, et al, from the White House and to take the majority from the Democrats in congress.

The second step is to remove the liberal activist judges (who are, IMHO, the number one enemy of the constitution) from the bench. Recognizing the political reality that it's just about impossible to expect that they would be impeached, then we must take steps to ensure that the retiring judges are not replaced with even more liberals activist judges when their positions become vacant.

Thirdly, we won't even have a country or a constitution to defend if we allow the Democrats to retake power. According to their own party platform and their campaign positions (and evidenced by recent history), they are not interested in defending the nation. They're more interested in turning our national defense over to the United Nations and, in addition, they also want to subjugate our constitution and our citizens to the United Nations and other world government bodies. This treason is totally unacceptable and must be defeated.

There's only one way to do this: block the Democrats from holding the White House and or the majority in either house of the congress. And there's only one party in the nation that has any possibility of doing that, and it is the Republican Party.

This is the only way I can see of accomplishing the mission. If you have a better idea, please lay it on me.

It's Sunday night and Drudge hypes something for listeners, etc... Lots of time it pans out to be nothing...... I'm sure the dems will holler loud about anything hoping to make something stick...

[Peach]

The only thing I remember after the bill passed was some Democrats calling for an investigation because the vote buying was over the line. FNC mentioned it a few times and I thought at the time the charges had merit and would get ugly and there would be resignations. Then it got dropped.

I don't know if this bribery charge is a continuation of those original allegations or not.

My memory is hazy but some Congressman who has a son running for elected office was told they would make sure he never got the job if said Congressman didn't sign the bill. What the names were was not revealed on FNC, but it was apparent they knew who the players were.

Having said that, Drudge is not always reliable, as you mentioned.
