Delay did not protect him, many Republicans attacked him, and you saw none of the "A great war hero who did wrong" kind of talk from the Right.
Well, now the old Duke is back, the slimy, vindictive guy from his Navy days, and he is about to drag a lot of guys down with him.
The word is, Duke is naming names big time, and it could be a bloodbath.
All I can say is that if you lay down dirty dogs, you could get fleas. Republicans wanted Duke for the War-Hero stuff, and never once took a look at his character.
We can only hope that Duke fingers Democrats too.
This time please do not vote for the GOP and do not contribute any money. We do not need people like you.
Charlie Rangel -- I seem to recall that he is very popular among many Republicans such as Jack French Kemp, who always goes out of his way to praise "our Democratic friends."
I know you are excited about this because of Mike Pence...and if I thought this was the right way to go about it...and IF I thought Pence would be helped by this...
then I might be less upset...but, I don't see it working out that way...
I saw Peter King on Fox News earlier...and he was pretty perturbed about how "the GOP seem to always eat their own"...and he was told that Jerry Lewis from CA will run...and he indicated he would be a formidable candidate..
Probably because CA has so many representatives..to vote for one of their own.
That guy Boehlert seems, for some reason, also to be considered a front runner.
Right now, today....I just see this as another horrible chapter in how the GOP have let down their constituents this year..and how the dems seem to just get rewarded by dirty tricks all of the time....sigh
You betcha'.
Very interesting point. It would be the perfect set-up to bring down Repubs and make the Dims look like the saviors of this country. Consider the NSA leaks and the GJ leaks concerning Scooter. Also FEMA director, Michael Brown. They hurt Repubs and this country, yet the dims came out smelling like roses...whistleblowers, the old media calls them. Traitors in my book.
GOP voters?? You're dreaming...
No, you're not awake. The majority of the electorate as is seen by their voting patterns wants big government. Until you identify the problem, you're never going to help come up with a solution.
But ummm...Maybe you're right. Why would this Republican President who is FOR Big Gub'mint veto ANY budget? (as Ronald Reagan spins in his grave)
Actually, Reagan vetoed Tip O'Neil's higher rates of spending than what we have now.
(Don't spin the Gipper)
I'm not suggesting that anyone go to jail for a round of golf. However, accepting expensive freebies from a sleazy lobbyist should disqualify someome for a leadership position in the Republican party, IMO.
I agree there's heavy media bias but I don't totally buy your argument. There's a tipping point where the juiciness of the scandal outweighs editorial partisanship. Besides, in an election all you have to do is convince the undecideds. That's what campaign commercials are for.
From where I sit, they both spend our hard earned tax dollars like drunken sailors on shore leave.(no offense to any sailors here)
Don't worry about that poster, Adam. Check out some of his other posts and you'll see the horse blinders he wears.
I, like you, worked my @ss off for Bush in 2004. I gave money, time, blood, sweat and tears, and while we lost Wisconsin by 11,841 votes (Grrrr!) I feel like you do: I was glad we won, but man, it's certainly NOT turned out like I imagined it would be.
As President Bush said, the first thing he and Laura were going to do was to scrub the Oval Office clean again...and now, I fear, we need to seriously do the same to the House and Senate, no matter what the party affiliation. I still think Bush is a good man, at heart and a solid leader, but these crooked Dems and RINOs have GOT to go, IMHO.
Great comment and great tagline!!!
Sounds like he won't even run for re-election..
Thanks for the comments. I agree that there's some truth to what you say. However, I do find it unacceptable that our leaders should get one dime from those who lobby them.
I believe that Congress was envisioned in it's inception, to be a part time job. It was not meant to make people wealthy through pay or influence peddling.
I'd rather see Congresional salaries eliminated, and those who work there be forced to support themselves nine months out of the year, and only serve three months per year.
I'd also like to see them serve no more than ten years in our capital.
There is simply too much power in the hands of these people, who mostly seem to be for sale in some way or another.
Nobody should go to Washington and increase their financial standing ten fold.
Traitors in my book too.
BTW..anyone know what's happening with the investigation onto Cong. William Jefferson..?
See if this is more to your liking...
