Now you're talkin', TT!
Yessir, La. Pols have a long history of corruption alright. Congress has such a stellar record of honesty and accountability when it comes to taxpayer money, surely you don't see a problem in letting the fox guard the chickens, do you??
"...it looks like swampy got himself another suspension."
How does one know when someone's been suspended? What post did he get suspended for?
Two ways to find out:
1) in the search function, type a member's name, click on "by poster" in the drop-down menu;
2) or click on their name at the end of their posts.
Either way, an active member's posts will appear, but if they've been given a time-out, a page comes up stating, "This account has been banned or suspended."
As far as I know, if a member actually gets banned, all their posts are removed as well, so if their posts still appear in the threads, they've only been suspended.
I don't know which post got him booted - considering the sort of thing he posts every day, it's hard to imagine that one post was more out of line than any other, especially since his whole modus operandi involves personal attacks and racist innuendo. But the guy has nine lives around here, so I imagine he'll be back before next weekend.
Correction: the second method I described only takes you to the member's profile page.
If the republican party wants to get off the resusitator VOTE TANCREDO!
Tom Tancredo is absolutely correct -- Katrina reconstruction funds promise to create a huge slush fund for democrats, unless strictly controlled. Louisiana's state government should directly handle NO federal money.
"Corruption is an excellent issue"
Welfare fraud is on a scale of epedemic proportions. This country could save tens of billions of dollars by unearthing welfare cheats. A lot of states are now calling their handouts to individuals as "grants" to hide what it really should be called. My good for nothing sister in law is one who has received "grants" to pay her rent. She works part time as a waitress and her husband works in construction off the books.
Sorry, that is not the corruption Tancredo needs to look into. Fraud, bunko, deceit are everywhere. Corruption in gov't is the issue if Tancredo wishes to take it on. I don't think he does have the stuff to tackle corruption in gov't. No one does.
his analysis would get much farther without his knee jerk supporters screwing it up.
What knee jerking are you talking about and where? The man is a genuine conservative and he gets little say in the House. So what difference if there is a little hoopla for his supporters? Maybe you're just another moderate who has trouble with a man of conviction. Further analysis. What a joke.
"As far as I know, if a member actually gets banned, all their posts are removed as well, so if their posts still appear in the threads, they've only been suspended."
Wow! They just don't kick a person out...they erase their entire history as well? Ruthless! Seems a little unnecessary, but da rules are da rules.
I'll second that.
bttt
It baffles me that somehow the Dems made this a Republican issue.
When clearly it was the Dems that fouled up this effort.
