Oh, and of course S. J. Res. 40 was the Federal Marriage Amendment.

Hey, that's pretty good - you hijacked your own thread from the gitgo. From gay-marriage ban to Bush-bash in a nanosecond.

Yeah? Well Natalee Holloway's parents would give anything for her to be able to hijack her own threads today. Have you thought about that you heartless #$%@!????? Meanwhile Joran Vanderwhatever walks around free to start his own threads.

"I firmly believe that this amendment would easily be ratified by two-thirds of Congress and three-fourths of the states. The republicans had better get it passed before November, because they other than tax cuts...they've driven away conservatives when run amuck spending, HUGE government, and Bush's desire to grant amnesty to law-breaking illegal immigrants on the part of his pal, Vicente Fox"

I hearily agree! Those gay Mexicans had better be barred from coming here in their millions to marry and take advantage of the tax cuts Bush used to lure them in so they could steal Iraqi oil!! And bring our troops home from occupied New Orleans!!!

This was probably MEANT to be another Bush bashing thread to start with....

[fish hawk]

Hey Dan, in sicko California, would you explain to me what anything on this thread so far , except you post, has to do with the Natalee Holloway case. You lost me on this one.

A U.S. Senate panel advanced a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage...

Oh goody!

Beat me to it.

[Conservative Coulter Fan]

Bull! is a great title for your post:

As for SCOTUS, I would point you to World Net Daily, because despite the characterization, John Roberts isn't as solid as everyone pretended he was...and I'll remind you that Bush did try and place Harriet Miers of all people on the court...it wasn't until the conservative base revolted that he gave in an backed Alito.

Market reform? You are talking about the $600 billion dollar entitlement...right! The republicans are putting healthcare on the road to socialism...the Federal Government covers 60% of all medical costs as the largest third party payer through Medicaid and Medicare...essentially giving us a partially-nationalized healthcare system. Don't even insult my intelligence by pretending it was a backdoor approach to "free market."

From what I've read, President Bush is big on fighting AIDS around the world....even to the point of reversing himself...part of the $15 billion a year or so...goes to those that provide abortions overseas. As far as I know...Planned Parenthood still gets $147 million from Uncle Sam under the guise of "family planning." Increased military spending? Increasing spending by itself doesn't impress me. Sure, we're going to nation build...take two backward Arab countries in the Middle East and through our tax dollars fund their governments and attempt to drag the Jihad Monkeys into the 21st century. Good luck!

Increased border spending...bwhahaha...what a stunt! Increased spending to what....rat out the Minutemen and give their location and inform on their activities to Bush's pal, Vicente Fox, while the Mexican military is assisting in smuggling illegals and drugs into our country amid a full blown invasion on our Southern Border. You don't have very high standards for your government, do you?

Wiping out al-Qaeda? We've basically given them a safe haven in Western Afghanistan...the White House mad a big deal about how they dropped more food than bombs on Afghanistan amid their "Islam is a religion of peace" PR campaign. We're willing to recognize Hamas if they'll just pay lip service and announce they don't want to destroy Israel. Iran is going nuclear...and we're trying to get "tough action" from France. Ha!

As for keeping the Homeland secure...we have a southern border wide open....bring your nukes, dirty bombs, and terrorists because Bush isn't going to seal the border.

[Theodore R.]

We would have to replace 35 senators or more to get this approved. People like Russ Feingold are the "majority" even when they are called the "minority." It's Orwellian "double-speak."

Worthless waste of time.

You probably don't think that a fence at the border could be as effective as the one around the WH either.

I read about fence jumpers at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on a pretty regular basis. Where have you been?

Why would anyone in their right mind visit that looney site? Everyone at FR knows they are the fringe of the fringe groups (UFOs, Black Helis, and Y2K-Doomsayers galore!)

[GovernmentShrinker]

This is going nowhere. It's a political sideshow, and its handful of serious proponents know that -- they're just going through the motions to try to garner votes from their more gullible constituents.

Izzat you Greta? Or is that Nancy in there?

Try the decaf, ok?

[mkjessup]

Or, perhaps a simulation for those folks not quite ready to begin the beguine. ;)

[darkangel82]

and there are probably 5 to 10 GOP senators that will vote no.

Snow, Collins, Chafee, McCain and Specter.

[Tarkin]

John Roberts isn't as solid as everyone pretended he was

Any proof? Did he write and/or join a single decision (since he joined the SCOTUS) that you could describe as "non-conservative"?

[Tarkin]

Don't forget Sununu. He may be conservative on most issues but he also has some libertarian leanings.

[GovernmentShrinker]

ElkGroveDan was making a JOKE. A parody of thread-hijacking posts. You are supposed to laugh. All clear now?

[little jeremiah]

List, I presume.
