Republicans May Have Their Michael Moore

Keep your eye on Jonathan Stein. Only a second-year law student at Hofstra, he’s already using his legal skills to bug the Liberal establishment. He seems most creative to me.

Jonathan Stein considers himself an activist, a single citizen who wants to see if he alone can make a difference in the political process. Here is some of his projects. He filed a complaint with the Senate Ethics Committee for violating a law that prohibits paying a senator for time he does not attend. In this case, Senator John Kerry who got 100% of his pay for attending only 13% of the sessions. The Senate said they were not going to enforce this law because they had never enforced it before.

Stein is running TV ads in Indiana illustrating John Kerry ‘s record of avoiding important issues. Other ads criticize Democrats for inspiring public anger against the Bush administration without explaining how they would do any better.

And he’s not after just Kerry. He filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission challenging the right of the New York Times to use its slogan, “All the news that’s fit to print.” He says it’s deceptively untrue, and that the Times has abused its power and violated the FTC Act.

Can one man make a difference? Michael Moore, you may just have met your match.

I appreciate the compliments, but I don't like the Moore comparison :)

[jmstein7]

BUMP!

[Brilliant]

It doesn't have anything to do with Moore. I like the idea of turning the liberal establishment against itself with lawsuits, though.

In my family, the quip was: All the news that fits the print.

Don't worry...you don't eat like Michael Moore...that would be more like our friend Krispy ;)....Oh, and remember your side hand woman ;-P

For all of you who don't know Jonathan, he is much thinner and better looking than Michael Moore could ever be if he say, took a shower, combed his hair, lost weight....etc.

[Larry Lucido]

You better get started on the Wendy's triple-burgers. You got a long way to go.

[floriduh voter]

yeah, I'd resent the comparison to Michael Moore. He's no liberal superman, he's just an obnoxious, lying, pig.

[hoosiermama]

Go Jonathan!

[Angry Enough]

Michael Moore made a relatively big splash because of the obvious - water displacement. Mr. Stein does so because he raises legitimate questions and, with terrier instinct, doesn't let go. Big difference.

As long as you can avoid eating an entire hot dog stand, you are okay in my book!

[Militiaman7]

Keep up the good work, Jonathan. We are all proud of you.

[Use It Or Lose It]

Woooo-hooooo! Fan-dang-tastic

The Senate said they were not going to enforce this law because they had never enforced it before.

And, besides, so many of us would have to return unearned wages...

[The Mayor]

BTTT!!!

[E.G.C.]

BTTT!!!!!!!

[Leatherneck_MT]

Good old Hofstra

If memory serves, isn't that Bill Cosby's alma mater?

[Fierce Allegiance]

Cosby went to UMASS.

[donozark]

Is you're shirt mustard-stained? Are you unshaven? Unkempt? Grossly overweight? If not, then you ain't Moore! HAHA! Keep up the good work!

[el_texicano]

Aw, hell, that's like being compared to a dungheap.

Give 'em hell buddy...make 'em eat their own drivel.
