This speech tomorrow night is a LOSE/LOSE proposition, but he has to do it.

Not if he puts it on Congress to vote yes or no on the National Guard being used. That is so going to put the Dems on the spot.

Of course, closing the border will not make any 100% percenters happy, but nothing will, so who cares? We can at least use the attempt as a reason for them to shut up.

I will, however, withdraw my support if Gilchrist keeps up the Third Party noise. It makes me suspicious of his real goals, especially since he just announced on Fox that he doesn't care about what the President says, he wants to see "verifiable results."

%%%%

When he was running for Congress - must have been a special election - ? Duke Cunningham's seat, perhaps? - he was interviewed on Hugh Hewitt's show. He had no opinion, or a very minimal opinion on many issues that should be important to a Congressman. I respect his energy and his desire to get some sanity along our Southern border, but he is much too much a single issue zealot to be a good spokesman for Republicans in general.

There was a fund established for the running of the Apollo Theater. Rangel was found to be absconding with the funds.

He made some sort of plea deal and from what I remember, he is forbidden to have anything to do with the running of the Apollo.

I'll google and see if I can find the story.

Being liberal means never having to tell the truth, never being responsible for your own actions, never having to abide by the rules of society.

If dems are too stupid to figure out HOW to vote they are too stupid to vote.

@@@@

Knowing how to complete a ballot is part of the voting process!

It is NOT a "vote" if it is not submitted according to the rules. It is a "spoiled ballot." - a piece of paper!

In countries where paper is used exclusively, dissenters purposely "spoil" their ballot so they will count as having voted, and having registered that they disliked all the choices on the ballot.

You are right...if he puts it on Congress re: National Guard that will be a partial victory...

However, I have already seen many, many posts on FR that unless he does something to get rid of the 20 million here, what's the big deal....sigh.

It seems that the dems aren't the only ones the like to move the goalposts when it looks like they are going to get what they have been begging for.

Lots of good info about Gov Rutabaga, most of which I was unfamiliar with. I wonder if you could line up those URLS and post them for those of us that missed the previous posts on the veritable potpourri of Corruption. That would be great....

Kasich has a new book. Something about morals.....I really can't remember. I do remember thinking to myself as he was speaking on another show....this is the man that partied with Gary Condit. Went to rock concerts with Gary Condit and Gary Condit's mistress of the moment.

John Kasich thinks we have forgotten.......we haven't.

NO ONE will be happy after his speech, NO ONE

I'll be quite happy if goes back to what he said in March 2004, leaves out the "path toward citizenship", and allows the once-renewable, three-year work visa.

There remains the question of how (broken) CIS is going to process 12 million work visas without severely harming the several million people with *legal* immigration applications outstanding (some for 5 to 10 years and even more).

The unfairness of that element of the program literally makes me nauseous.

Once heard Joy Behar on WABC radio call GHW Bush a coward for ejecting from his plane and leaving his crewman to die.

That Bush should have stayed with the plane.

I don't read beyond the first paragraph of AP since their spin usually starts there.

@@@@

It is often a good idea to jump to the final two or three paragraphs of an article, because these advocacy journalists do print facts at the very end, so they can say they have printed the facts. For example, apparently in the USAToday article, one had to go to page 5 to learn that the NSA program was not "listening" to phone calls.

I use this technique regularly if I have to read an article in the Baltimore (pinko) Sun.

Thanks for reminding me....when I posted earlier about his bragging about the "class of 94"...I mentioned Scarborugh, but couldn't remember the other "famous" class member.

Yes, of course, his good buddy, Condit.

(((((shudder))))

"That the Dems will come out with their own around Labor Day called "The Plan""

Thanks Mo.
HAHAHAHA! Oh, I'm just waiting breathlessly for the *Plan*! Is that the *Plan* Kerry kept promising, or the one the Dims were going to bring out after the last election, or the one from Dec, or the one in Feb, or ??? \

I suspect they're either going to have to first determine which group of the party they're going to develop their plan for (the moveon.org and left-wing wackos, Daily Kos and other extreme left-wing wackos, the Regan Democrats, or ??) or have more than 1 "Plan".

Dems need a plan
By John Burtis
Tuesday, January 31, 2006

Beyond the demented horseplay displayed at the Alito hearings, the fatuity of John Kerry calling for a filibuster from the polo stables at Davos, and the increasingly impudent calls for the impeachment of President Bush, we’re all waiting for the Democrats to begin advertising their long awaited plan.

There are supposed to be two vaunted Democratic plans in play, one for the vital recapturing of America--the one that will insure their re-election, and perhaps the most vital element, the plan to be followed once the Senate, the House and the Presidency are all back in liberal hands.

>snip

They need a plan for security beyond name calling and lies. If the Democratic Party is to win an election in this most trying of international times, they will need a platform based on something other than the coy utterances of newspapers, the catatonic blather of party plenipotentiaries, the cries of impeachment and the need for ever more investigations and politically contrived hearings, the damning of the President for his protection of the citizenry, the base reliance on racial politics, and the seeming protection of terror and its apparatus. And they need it soon, with the mid-term elections in the fall. But with the next white-hot super-charged scandal coming up, the NSA, and its associated hearings, they may not have time.

After Bush was elected the first time, he was accused of keeping his campaign promises, viewed at that time as a novel yet unfair political tactic. Will the Democrats be so bold as to keep their promises, or will they revert, should they win, to the days of old when they controlled everything, threw up a million straw men to deflect scrutiny, and solved nothing,

At the rate we’re going, with Hamas, and with Iran and North Korea, we may well face the launching of missiles in the very near future. A plan, any plan, would be nice, if only for discussion.

I did not realize all this terrible corruption going on under "rutie's nose. It was probably going on under his great Baton Orchestrating the whole deal. It is a small State in Population, he must know what is under every rock. I thought Nancy lugosi said it was the Republicans that were corrupt. I am beginning to think that her statements will come back to haunt her all the way to November. Perhaps when we see hundreds of indictments for corruption coming out of N Mexico and we see "Rutie" hauled away in super sized handcuffs maybe Nancy will have to dream up a New Lie.

Because we aren't in a real war, everything we libs do to harm Bush and the administration (NSA leaks, media's negative stories from Iraq, etc.) is perfectly fine with them and their press enablers.


@@@@@

But, but, but, some of the loudest squawkers in Congress say "we are not sacrificing enough in this time of war." How convenient that they can speak out of both sides of their mouths when the situation warrants: in a war/ not in a war.

BTW, "sacrifice" is defined as raising taxes to the Schumers, Kennedys, etc in DC.
