Just a reminder: Free Republic is a conservative site

I disagree with the premise that Newt acted on his lonesome and that he didn't seize upon what Perot had seen in his view of the body public.

I never said Newt acted on his lonesome either. He was, the author of the CWA, those who stood with him on Capitol Hill were in essence, co-sponsors.

Interesting map. I should add, 1992 was the first time Montana went Democrat for president since JFK.

The obsession you folks have with third parties is
to divide the Republicans for a liberal victory and or
a diversion for unresolved personal issues that can't be faced.

"It's not said often enough...... Thanks, Jim"

Amen, and DITTO!!

Dave, perhaps you'd consider pinging the UFO ping list to this thread?

Thank you for what you do.

Jim, thanks very much for posting this. I'm the father of two immigrant sons, and the immigrant bashing bothers me, a lot.

I jumped to the last posts and can't tell if your message is getting through or not. But, if I had to put my money where my mouth is, I'd say we're going to lose Congress this fall and it will be a very long time before we get it back.

I remember, when Clinton first hit the scene I hated him! I knew he was a liar! The "I smoked pot but i didn't inhale" oh boy! I was 17 almost 18 at the time still in HS and I was known to smoke a little dope... I knew he couldn't be trusted if he was going to lie about something as dumb as that!

He and Condi and many others agreed with the L.O.S.T. I think condi's support of it helped win her over at her hearings. IIRC, she even mentioned it, sorta like a secret code maybe. I could see no other reason for the subject to be brought up there.

In her recent confirmation hearing for secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice was asked by Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Dick Lugar if the administration favors ratification of the Law of the Sea Treaty. The president, Miss Rice said, "would certainly like to see it pass as soon as possible ... and we very much want to see it go into force."

Back into your schizophrenic mode. Got room for one more?

..a couple of observations, Jim

The Republican Party and an observably growing presence here on FR is looking at the Religious Right as problem or an obstacle. I really hope the tone changes back to the way it was a few years ago.

Secondly, I hope the GOP doesn't make the same mistake as the Whigs--there are principles where there is no compromise.

FR is a Conservative website--which includes the Religious Right, without whom the rest aren't going to win anything...

look at the votes, Perot had a HUGE effect on that election.

You can't admit that Newt(and the republicans) appealed to Perot's supporters to win over Congress.

The only reason I so adamant on this point is that in this coming election and in 08, appealing to those discontented with what is going on right now in the government will make or break the leadership of congress.

We must offer New Ideas that appeal to the hopes of those discontented, silly as it seems Perot and Newt both understood that.

[Calpernia]

One of you posted that Condi speech on a thread I made. This is where I lie confused.

Clinton reminded me all those rich liberal kids I knew in college who would go then overseas, dabble in Marxism or whatever they needed to become "relevant". But were actually superficial and empty, and just really wanting to attract women. I knew better than to vote for him.

You can't admit that Newt(and the republicans) appealed to Perot's supporters to win over Congress.

Of course I can, however, I wouldn't vote for him if he ran for president in 2008.

9/11/2001...My wake up call....

Moi aussi. I will never return to the party of rats and traitors.

[usmcobra]

Newt or Perot?

[BigSkyFreeper]

Yep. The map illustrates what I've said all morning.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Both.
