Agreed. McCain is 95% pro-life but only 5% republican.
I heard that he is having a hard time raising money because of his age. That doesn't stop the MSM from pushing his name (their hero!).

Get away from the tired rhetoric of these hypocrites by playing a little Dixieland music...like I'm doing. Really cheers one UP.
Answer: they're all RATs.
Yes! Mostly I think they're pulling this crap to undermine and maybe impeach Bush and damage Republicans.
However, watching them today, it occurred to me that this also has the effect of restricting President Bush from crossing into Syria if necessary and/or going after the mullahs in Iran once we have enough troops freed up from active duty in Iraq--but also still there in a secure base in Iraq ready to go to Syria/Iran...
Sorry. WVA is red. I should have said blue senator, or something along those lines. My mistake.
Oops.... LOL Sorry...
No, she had a direct part in having them pardoned.

NEW YORK (UPI) – The U.S. attorney's probe of the pardon of fugitive financier Marc Rich has expanded to the four presidential pardons of four Jewish men convicted of stealing $40 million from taxpayers for a fake school.
Mary Jo White, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, is investigating a possible link between the last-minute pardon by former President Bill Clinton of four New Yorkers and votes for Hillary Clinton's Senate election last November.
Kalmen Stern, David Goldstein, Benjamin Berger and Jacob Elbaum were serving prison sentences of up to 6.5 years for bilking $40 million worth of student Pell grants and loans from government sources for a phony school in the Hasidic community of New Square, N.Y.
Sen. Clinton said that although she attended a White House meeting in which the pardon issue was raised, "I never made any view known."
Last month, she refused to talk about the controversial pardons of the four New York Hasidic Jews by her husband. New Square voted 1359-10 for the first lady – although other nearby Hasidic enclaves voted 3480-152 for Clinton's GOP opponent, former Rep. Rick Lazio.

The pardon proponents claimed that the four deserved clemency because they didn't steal the money for themselves but for the Hasidic community.
Last week, White announced that her office and the FBI "have opened an investigation to determine whether there have been any violations of federal law" in the pardons of Rich and his partner, Pincus Green. Bill Clinton has denied that the pardons of Rich and Green – which White opposed – had anything to do with the money donated to Democrats by Rich's ex-wife, Denise Rich.
A federal grand jury in Manhattan has subpoenaed records detailing contributions to the Clinton presidential library as part of an investigation into the pardon of Rich as well as all government documents concerning the Rich pardon, it was reported by CNN Thursday. Through his lawyer, David Kendall, Clinton rejected a subpoena from the House Government Reform Committee for the names of all donors of more than $5,000 to the Arkansas presidential library.
I stopped to make breakfast for my houseguest and myself and take a phone call from a whiney Broward County Wilma victim, and am now way behind.
I think too many Democrat Senators and Representatives are run by their staff, and not the other way around. Democrats try to find someone who can win, as their only criteria, and then let their staffs form their opinions and positions. These guys just keep saying things that make no sense or are opposite from what they were saying before. They keep trying to be on both sides of each issue, and stand for nothing other than reelection.
Currently, donations to presidential library foundations are not subject to campaign disclosure laws, and congressional investigators received limited access to the donor list to the Clinton library only after issuing subpoenas.
Hillary Signs Onto Pardon Reform
WASHINGTON, March 29, 2001
(AP) Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Thursday signed onto legislation to reform the pardon system, the issue that tainted her husband's exit from the White House and marred her own entrance into the Senate.
The bill by Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., would require those pressing for presidential pardons and commutations to register as lobbyists. The bill would also require disclosure for those who donate more than $5,000 to presidential libraries.

"She looked over the proposal and believed it was a common-sense disclosure bill and decided to support it," Hillary Clinton spokesman Jim Kennedy said.
In the late 1960s, tensions between Palestinians and the Jordanian government intensified; heavily armed Palestinian resistance elements (fedayeen) had created a virtual “state within a state” in Jordan, eventually controlling several strategic positions, including the oil refinery near Az Zarq. Jordan considered this a growing threat to its sovereignty and security and attempted to disarm the Palestinian militias. Open fighting erupted in June of 1970.
The final straw for King Hussein occurred when Palestinian terrorists flew three hijacked planes to Jordan and blew them up on September 12, 1970. Four days later, Hussein declared martial law. That same day, Arafat became commander of the Palestine Liberation Army (PLA), the regular military force of the PLO. In the ensuing civil war, the PLO had the active support of Syria, which invaded Jordan with a force of around 200 tanks. The fighting was mainly between the Jordanian army and the PLA; the U.S. Navy dispatched the Sixth Fleet to the eastern Mediterranean and Israel deployed troops to aid Hussein, if necessary. By September 24, the Jordanian army had defeated the Palestinian forces. Most of the Palestinian leadership, including Arafat (who disguised himself as a Kuwaiti official), fled to Syria, and later Lebanon, where they soon set about undermining the central government of that country.
mush more....
Ditto!
Good for you, but they think you will forget by next November. You should send them an e-mail of this thread and see what their reaction is. Some of us may not remember every little detail, but I will guarantee that lots of freepers will and they will be glad to post every little tidbit of their betrayal.
Thank You, Tonkin.
Was it Mehlman who referred to Schmucky's breaking into Steele's credit reports? Whoever it was included the words, "identity theft"--it was great.
