Another example of why letting the Democrats ever again controll any portion of the Federal Goverment is insanely risky. The notion that once in they would easily be routed out of power again is nonsense.

Secret plan alleged on campaign financing Sacramento Bee ^ | 9/19/6 | Jim Sanders

A California Nurses Association publication indicates the group is pushing the Proposition 89 campaign-finance measure as a Trojan horse to get what it covets most: universal health care, opponents said Monday.
Allan Zaremberg, president of the California Chamber of Commerce, said the strategy basically was spelled out in a document that appeared on the nurses association Web site.
"They have a two-step process here," he said. "One is to eliminate the ability of business to communicate with the voters. The second step is to have government-run health care on the next ballot ... and deny voters the ability to hear the other side."
Proposition 89 would allow public financing of campaigns for state offices, an overhaul touted as a way to discourage undue influence by well-heeled special interests.
The measure, crafted by the CNA, is on the Nov. 7 ballot.
Chuck Idelson, spokesman for both the CNA and the Yes on Proposition 89 campaign, said the nurses group has supported universal health care for many years but that the campaign-finance initiative is not specifically linked to that goal.
Universal health care is a bitterly controversial concept to replace California's system of private health insurance with a state-run system to provide medical care to every resident.

I haven't read this entire thread so I will apologize in advance if this question has already been answered. Is it normal for no applause during a speech at the UN, or are the delegates being especially rude to the President?
Get it right... he is doing it to our enemies NOT the President! Enemies are seated in front of the President!
LLS
Their rude.
Amen. Line of the speech.
That is a concern. And Thaksin doesn't grease the palm of the military like so many PMs before him. He brought a businessman's style of governance (he owned Shin satellite, the major distributer of satellite services throughout the regions) to Thailand. There is evidence that the Army wants things the old way.
they're -- sorry, pet peeve of mine. A long long time ago -- I wanted to be an English teacher.
Democracy as well!
So the speech has been over for nearly two minutes now. Where is the text of the speech? Are we losing our touch? Geez. I would have figured that the entire text would have been the next post.
It would be a shame if there was an accident on his way out of the country. I was thinking the same thing. How was American soil allowed to be so dirtied and sullied by allowing that short little Muslim fascist terrorist POS in our country. If the U.N. continues to allow radical fascists speak to them, that's another reason for them to leave the United States. Who's next? Kim?
Ahmadinejead is boycotting the luncheon because they're serving alcohol? Or maybe because the waitresses aren't wearing burkas?

Good stuff!
Rush was responding before Bush got on a roll, when he was talking in opening platitudes....then Bush got on his roll
Fantastic speech!
Bush told them off. *cheering*
I know i'm bad. LOL.
Rush just stole my line -- wanted to be first in the buffet line. I would too
So they are both rude and traditional. LOL! Or traditionally rude. I dislike them either way.
