Keeping the trust is the first order (Minutemen-Simcox)
Jewish World Review ^ | July 28, 2006 | Wesley Pruden

Posted on 07/28/2006 3:05:06 AM PDT by Anti-Bubba182

The first thing a Minuteman has to learn is to keep his powder dry. The bigger the powder magazine, the bigger the risk of getting it all wet.

This is the lesson that Chris Simcox, the president of the volunteers on the border, who have almost single-handedly aroused the nation's conscience about the tide of illegal immigration, seems to have missed in basic training.

The "powder" is the hundreds of thousands of dollars that Americans have contributed to the Minutemen, who have been exceedingly helpful to the U.S. Border Patrol. The careful, rigorous reporting of Jerry Seper in The Washington Times reveals that the Minutemen management has not made its records of fundraising and finances public in more than a year, raising the hackles and suspicions of several top Simcox aides. Some of them have resigned, protesting the loose management of the money...."[snip]

"... All the more reason that Chris Simcox and his lieutenants must account for the money and explain what the Declaration Alliance, the grandly named political public-relations firm in Herndon, has done with the money it has collected and disbursed in the name of the Minutemen. The Declaration Alliance is the creation of Alan Keyes, the smooth-talking conservative activist and sometime pol, and is meant to provide mass mailings, public relations and "a fully accredited and independent audit." So far no one in the Minutemen management has said how much has been paid to the Declaration Alliance, and what the Minutemen got for the money...."

I don't guess I'm going to be getting an apology for your false assertions about my truthfulness, eh?

someone whose political activities are quite simple and straightforward.

BWAHAHAHHAAHA.

Who in the world cares about your misrepresentations of those whose activities are much more complex and difficult to understand?

Isn't that the truth; bilking suckers is so hard to understand only REAL politicos like you get it.

You're an E X P E R T at it.

And yet here you are, Politico Man, STILL trying to best me.

I've found that most things that are honest and true aren't all that "complex and difficult to understand."

Y'all have proven that you don't have the ability to honestly interpret the simplest facts, much less FEC data.

Your constant personal attacks continue to fall flat.

You're squealing like a stuck pig, so I'm guessing SOMEBODY, even if it's not me, is hitting close to home.

Close to home is right. You and your friends are a bunch of stalkers.

I hear tell you're becoming quite a hero to certain folks on the antifreeper sites.

Too bad they'll be back to calling you everything but human by next week...

I'm confused; he says he wasn't an independent consultant for Cox. But he said his company had been hired by him?

According to news reports, Cox had hired the political consulting group that EV was listed as a contact for. Another consultant was actually handling Cox's account.

First off, this is a leftest article and all the conservatives are jumping for joy around here to sink this guy.

Look at the posting histories of the folks all over these threads. They're not conservatives.

Sheesh, you've totally botched your little google pursuit of me, someone whose political activities are quite simple and straightforward.

Actually, except for the fact that your name is no longer on the contact list of the Robert Morris Group -- and you admitted you had it removed -- you've shown absolutely no evidence that I'm wrong, and I backed up everything I said with links and cites.

I guess you're sticking with the old "Wizard of Oz" defense.

I know you like to wrap yourself in the flag and the Founding Fathers, but everybody here knows you're just like them -- in it for the money.

I've known Tom (EV) for several years. Although I can't vouch for the many of the members involved with Keyes, I can say that I believe Tom is one of the most sincere fellows I've met. We disagree on things sometimes and often he can be vexing in his blind support of subjects I find disturbing, I can say that he is what you see.

I can't say the same for others involved in this controversy but I can about Tom. You may not like what he says but I find him without perversions.

That is a rarity in politics these days. I pray that someday he he can remove the blinders and see things for what they are.

It's in everyone's interest to prove that the Minutemen are on the up and up.

Bull$hit. You would love to see them crumble.

Generally speaking, it's hard to prove what someone else thinks.

It gets better:

Did the Scarecrow Really Get a Brain?

In the movie, The Wizard of Oz, when the wizard grants the scarecrow the Doctor of Thinkology degree, the scarecrow recites this geometric proposition:

The sum of the square roots of any sides of an isoscelese triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This sounds similar to the Pythagorean Theorem but it is not.

Is it a true statement, or did the scarecrow get a bad brain?

Look at the isosceles triangle below:

So the statement that the scarecrow recites is never true.

Especially difficult with brainless scarecrows.

So I'm the tinman, and you're the scarecrow? ;-)
