He should suspend all the Rats staff clearances because they've probably all talked to the media about something classified.
I think you missed the point. Prager doesn't mean "stupid" as in "mentally challenged". That's what the liberals think of Republicans. Prager refers to the fact that the Republicans play nice and get their clocks cleaned by the Democrats. They refuse, out of some stupid sense of gentlemanliness, to see the Democrats for what they are-mean, conniving, ruthless thugs- and therefore cede the political field of battle to them.
Heck, if it weren't for the folks in the New Media doing their fighting for them, the Republicans wouldn't stand a chance.
The buck stops with Jane Harmon....let her resign in disgrace as well.
Let's face it. If the Republican politicians were (street)smart, they would have set up stings YEARS ago and smashed the Democrats to bits.
Until this man or Mary McCarthy, or Code Pink, are prosecuted, the Administration isn't serious about fighting a war.
I want to know how much Jane Harman knew and when she knew it.
"They refuse, out of some stupid sense of gentlemanliness, to see the Democrats for what they are-mean, conniving, ruthless thugs- and therefore cede the political field of battle to them."
While I agree with that statement, I do think it's changing. Several repubs have been stabbed in the back recently (last few years), to the point that some of them are starting to fight back.
This new issue of firing a dem staffer linked to Jane Harmon is a good example. She leaked classified info re Cunningham .. so the repubs decided to shoot back and fired the dem staffer. Some repub congress person said that if the ranking dem on their committee wanted to play politics with intel info, they could play that game too.
I'm glad to see this happening.
Also .. Rush pointed out the last few days that it was the House Republicans who have kept us from having the amnesty garbage bill from McCain/Kennedy. That was a great victory for America - and I hope repub voters are willing to keep them in office - and if they're not willing - WE WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL MEXICANS BEING GIVEN CITIZENSHIP - without having to earn it.
Let's not be stupid this election day. The dems are not friends and their agenda is very scary. If you don't know what their agenda is - let me know - I have a list of the legislation THEY HAVE ALREADY WRITTEN AND HAVE WAITING IN THE WINGS TO FOIST UPON US - should they win the House.
Okay - thank you! I was getting so much conflicting info.
What are the chances of her opponent in her district?
I am sorry to see this. I was fooled by Jane Harman.
It shouldn't matter what party you're from - if you're leaking classified intel material to anybody .. you should have to pay a price.
Jane would have been only too happy for it to have been a repub who did this treason .. but her actions show she's just trying to protect the person because they're a dem.
and like she didn't know about it...just like that a-hole rockefeller not knowing about the release of classified material.....when lib/dems and subordiantes commit treason...it is no big deal
but foley....!!!!!
Unfortunately there is little to no chance of Jane Harmon being replaced anytime soon. A republican was elected in 1994 to replace her but she was returned to office two years later. Her district goes from West Los Angeles and Santa Monica to Carson and Compton (from west side liberal to poor minority areas).
The last time I looked the Republicans controlled the House, Senate, the Presidency and have made real inroads on changing the judiciary.
With a record like that you seem to think they should emulate the Democrats tactics of trashing opponents.
The Republican leadership is doing what works. You want them to do what doesn't work. That is just plain stupid.
You propose to make the base happy (that is 35 percent of the voters) and tick off the remaining 65 percent. That is a prescription for defeat.. but that must be what you want.
They have a majority, but they do not control the the Senate. The Drive-By Media controls the Senate. If the Republicans truly controlled the Senate, there would not have been so many delays on judges, and there would not be so many delays on the judges that are still waiting, waiting, waiting.
Politics is a rough game. Americans know that and expect politicians to play rough. The Republicans have never gained respect from the American people by rolling over for the Democrats.
The Republicans have been successful because of the effectiveness of the New Media, not because of their honorable fecklessness.
defeat.. but that must be what you want.
No, I want Democrat lawbreakers to be prosecuted the same as Republicans. I want the Republican politicians to join together in denouncing Democrat lies. I want the Republicans to stop trusting the Democrats. I want the Republicans to stop cowering and act like men.
