So you're clever. So you're a wise guy.Someone has to be clever and wise. It might as well be me, because it sure as hell will never be you.

Yup...
BTW, here's my point: Joe sure as hell isn't willing to give me money upfront in return for a promise to help unseat Dreier...
But he's demanding that the GOP deliver all that he wants on this issue, in return for a promise to vote on November 2nd.

#891 is memorialized, and clearly depicts this political arrogance and fraud.
You are too arrogant to see that most of the folks have come to understand that you and those that run these parties clearly have other agendas. I am confident that most have had a belly full of the this "party before country" big government attitude.
You and several other individuals are the same ones that have told us *repeatedly* that this immigration disaster, and this titanic invasion of millions, illegally pouring into our country, is no big deal, and is near the bottom of the issue pile.
This alone makes you a fraud.

It's sick how powerful the Rules Commitee chairman is in the House.
I'll never forget during the advent of the "Gingrich Revolution" when nutcakes like David Obey and George Miller were unraveling and Gerald Solomon (rest his blessed soul) would come to the mike and just smack their asses down.
Dreier wields that same power. I'm thinking he doesn't give a rip about morons on the Web.
To: Joe Hadenuf; Barlowmaker; hchutch
C'mon, Joe! I'm making you the same offer your side of the aisle makes to the GOP. Why aren't you willing to accept it?
All I'm asking is $2,000 in front money. Once I have the cashier's check in hand, I'll start working to unseat Dreier.

For some reason, I think that a U.S. soldier could take down an unarmed kid without shooting him. You create this image of faceless death machines in uniform. It is a ridiculous strawman.

It is a ridiculous strawman.The specific proposal I was responding to was to have the military on the border, and to have them shoot anyone coming across.
If you're not going to pay attention to the conversation, do us all a favor and STFU. It saves everyone else's valuable time and your reputation.

Fine. Under that paradigm, they can shoot them with rubber bullets, bean bags or tazers. They're still shooting and it is still not lethal.
And as you asked me the question and I never talked about lethal force, perhaps you need to pay more attention to the conversation.
To: Barlowmaker
The word "fraud" is Joe's new shiny object.No, it's just when I see your posts, the first thing that comes to mind is, "FRAUD".
You clearly meet that definition daily.
However, no offense is intended, just stating my honest opinion.

This election is the last election in which I plan on voting for the Republican party unless two things happen in the next four years. Thass ok. When the next election comes along, you'll respond the same way to the same arguments and emergencies. The only way is to quit cold turkey.

Re: post 78.
Amen, brother!
To: Poohbah
I'm sorry, are you saying that people cannot be shot with rubber bullets, tazers or bean bags?
To: Travis McGee
I pretty much concluded a couple of years ago that the country has passed the point of no return. Most of the rest of the world is even worse.
It won't affect me that much as I will probably live comfortably the rest of my life. What really bothers me is my new grandson will have to grow up in a different nation than I did. A far far worse one imo.
I grew up in the 50's when government schools were very good and the teachers taught patriotism and Christianity without even thinking.
If we happened to have had a Moslem student he would have been treated with decency and respect but no one would have allowed him to disrespect our ideals either.
I am sure schools in Southern Louisianna taught Catholicism and we didn't mind a bit. That was what most people were and they had a right to have their own morals in their own schools.

I have no problem with something like that, I just think that the 'militarize the border' crew don't realize how nasty that will get. I think they have a childish view of things and they seem to be inattentive to the violence that would be the fruit of that move.
Good thoughts, and there wouldn't be a significant public outcry.

To: Chemist_Geek
I agree 100%. I just reject the paradigm that sees it as either 'you are for an open border" vs "get the soldiers and shoot them on sight."
I have said explicitly said illegeal immigration is a problem. I have also explicitly said that shooting runners on sight is not realistic, nor a popular tactic.
There is a range of options between the two - people need to look at them all and stop wanting to play 'army.'
