In Louisiana, Breaux is retiring and doesn't care. Landrieu has four more years until the she's up for reelection.
Jezzz....Never thought I'd see this. Rump bumpers vote Republican....Lordy....How times have changed.
Oh yeah............wee Ron P. and Obama are going to deliver real stemwinders;NOT! LOL
That isn't quite the point;however, thanks for playing. :-)
Get a lot of absorbent cloth. Obama's speech will be OILY.
That is what 3rd parties have been saying since at least 1924.
The right wing parties got less than one percent of the votes in 2000. Pat and whoever the libertarians ran didn't even make enough of an impression to remember their name. The far left parties got less than 3 percent of the votes in 2000. This year the far left parties will get less than 2 percent of votes and the far right should break 1 percent.
That is what I love about third party kooks. They think they are gathering supporters when they have no real support at all.
Third parties that are based on ideology never get more than 5 percent and never effect outcomes.
The only third party attempts that break the 5 percent rule are those based on personality. They last one or two election cycles until they fall into the footnote of history column. The Perot Party (reform) is an example. It has reformed into oblivion. Lafallets Progressive party is another example. Andersons third party of 1980 is yet another.
The two major parties only has one issue they alwasy agree on. They agree to pass laws making third party success impossible in the USA. But that never discourages the dummies that refuse to believe the earth is round and that 3rd parties can never succeed in the USA.
What an incoherent pile of garbage. You must not watch much news or C-SPAN. Rick Santorum gave an incredible speech (totally note-free) today on the floor of the Senate. It was brilliant. And Sen. Brownback made the judiciary point at two different press conferences this afternoon.
I hope voters remember. Surely they would. It's such an important issue.
Uh, I'll agree with that.
That should show people where the Republican Party is heading. I would imagine that some of the 35% of the Conservatives will leave the party in a few years.
Campbell I think is retiring this year. No reason he couldn't vote on our side on this one.
Remember he was one of the 'morning after' democrats who turned Republican in office within days of the enourmous Republican Victory in 1994.
It is a national, and therefor a federal, issue. There is nothing murky about the Full Faith & Credit concerns.
A same-sex wedded couple will marry in a same-sex marriage friendly state. They move to a same sex marriage unfriendly state. They will say they are married. The state will say 'no,' citing the DoMA. The married couple will sue.
The DoMA will ultimately be found unconstitutional and discriminatory by the courts right on up to the USSC.
There is nothing murky about this at all. The FF&C clause, most likely, will be the avenue that the USSC will decide the matter (at the Federal level) for all the states.
So one way or the other, it's a Federal issue.
Either the legislatures address this, or the courts will. I'd rather the legislature do it.
I don't understand how you can consider this, as a practical matter, as somehow a 'murky' yet wholly state issue, given that ultimately what one state decides to do on the issue will impact all the states and their policies.
As it stands now, it will not be left to the states, once the USSC chimes in.
His family made their money (his Dad, the COS to GHWB) as Governor in NH shoving nuclear power down the throats of the rate payers. We now have the costliest electricity in the USA. Cheap hydro power is in excess but we have these contracts with the nuke in Seabrook so we have to pay the high prices. He became a millionaire on an $80,000 salary. I wonder how? I wouldn't trust that family with anything. BTW, check his name out, Arabic extraction.
Savage is not a Republican, so his advice should ba taken in that context.
In 2003 McCain voted against the Medicare Drug benifit. Unfortunately he couldn't stop because of trecherous RINOs like the soon to be ex-congressman Pat Toomey from PA who voted for the biggest expansion of Federal social spending in almost 40 years.
MCCain voted for a means testing for the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit to take out some of the bite
McCain voted against S. 925 which would have forced tax payers to pay for international family planning organizations that promote abortion.
McCain voted for malpractice reform.
McCain doesn't always vote with us but more often than not. The American Conservative Union gives him a 75% for 2003 and a life time vote of 84%. Even the most conservative 'rat is far worse than McCain. I would like to see a more conservative Republican representing AZ, but I will take him over a 'rat anyday thank you.
Not to mention no more RINOs...The Republican party would have 25 solid conservatives to take on the 75 'rats in the Senate...They don't stand a chance against the true voices of conservatism. Why I'd be suprised if we don't pass a complete ban on abortion, elimination of all Federal taxes, and manditory possession of fire arms just because the Republican party would finally be pure.
Oh my yes,absolutely and the Fed gov woluld be cut down to almost nonexistance. smirk,giggle,snort.
woluld =would
Hannity is upbeat, optimistic and takes great joy in life. As such he attracts millions of listeners who think the same way.
Savage is a bitter, condescending, and arrogant doomsayer. He prays for bad thing to happen so he can affirm his fears that the end is nigh. As such he attracts dozens of listeners just like him.
