HOWEVER, I'm certainly willing to celebrate the life of Pope John Paul II by contributing funds for a Congressional Gold Medal out of my own Presidential salary, and I invite each and every Congressman to do the same."
I wonder what he meant by "Presidential salary" here. Was he speaking hypothetically as if he were President?
I was simply pointing out that, hypothetically, if President George W. Bush were to take a stand as Constitutional and Presonally Charitable as that of Ron Paul -- and offer his own Private Funds for the award of a Congressional Medal...
...then "Dog Gone" would no doubt jump on the FReeper Bandwagon if some "Lying Presstitute" like Adam Clymer reported George W. Bush's offer as "George W. Bush opposes Congressional Medal for so-and-so Nice Person!" without any explanation of the Offer of Personal Charity involved.
But, of course, it's different when "Dog Gone" employs such deceptive Half-Truths against Ron Paul. THEN, it's somehow Moral, Right, and Just.
