I’m not completely sure that my dates are right, but I think he was elected to the Senate AFTER she got the raw FBI files. The Clintons have used them often to shut up the opposition. Bob Livingstone, Henry Hyde, Newt maybe. There is a good possibility she doesn’t yet have trash information on Fred, and maybe there isn’t anything there. Not everyone has skeletons in the closet.
Huh? Jimmy Carter was a one-term governor of a very (at that time) backward Georgia. Reagan had served two terms as governor of the largest state in the union... a state with an economy the size of Japan's at the time. Reagan's 8 years as Chief Executive of California was the best possible experience a political leader could have had -- and it served him very well in the presidency. Please: add a barf alert before you ever even suggest something positive about Jimmy "I'll Never Lie to Ya" Carter, even in jest or hyperbole.
No offense? I feel offended by posts like yours. It has already been talked about on this thread, perhaps you haven’t read the thread yet.
If you like Duncan Hunter, post a thread on Duncan Hunter and talk about all his good traits. I don’t like it when people come on a Fred thread to trash Fred, then say something about another candidate.
I like Duncan Hunter but I really don’t like some of the people who post about him. It turns me off and makes me less likely to vote for him. I won’t be able to get enthused enough to campaign for Hunter or contribute to his campaign if this stuff keeps up. You really did not need to say that.
I’m with Fred.
Utah still has the world’s largest deposit of clean burn coal. Maybe after the Clinton/Bush era, the Atzanlanders can burn it to keep warm under the former freeway bridges.
Oh, I truly do think that if the Repub. Congressional candidates hang on to Fred's coat-tails, they could re-gain majorities in both houses. The Party is going to have to be SMART though, and I hope Fred can kick some of that into them.
- Not support Amnesty
There will never be deportation en masse, so we need to assimilate millions of folks. Call it what you will.
- Pardon Libby
-That'll never happen, or should never happen. We need to stop "pardoning" anyone who is convicted of a crime. Libby lied. It will be of no
good to anyone to "pardon" him. It will be an embarassment to GW. We do not want that to happen. No pardon for Libby, and there will never
be one.
Hello? Is anyone listening?
--Yes. To what, that depends.
We who support Fred need to pray up a hedge about him, that God will not allow demons to reach him.
Decoder ring required ping
“But what happened to you two?”
I knew all the crappy parts, I just never realized it was quid pro quo Utah coal for Indonesian. That becomes truly criminal.
On September 12, 1996, the Senate passed the Lautenberg gun ban as an amendment to the Treasury-Postal appropriations bill (H.R. 3756). The Lautenberg Domestic Confiscation Gun Ban disarms gun owners for small (misdemeanor) offenses in the home — “offenses” as slight as spanking a child or grabbing a spouse. This lifetime ban, in certain cases, can even be imposed without a trial by jury. It is also retroactive, so it does not matter if the offense occurred 20 years ago. Thompson voted in favor of the amendment.
WTH??? I did not know this. Can someone please give me a logical explanation as to why he voted for this.
There is? Congress authorized the fence last year - a double fence. Only 2.8 miles of it are currently built. Now, Bush is talking about building more of that fence to divert all the flack he is taking. Is that the fence you mean, it doesn't exist yet because the government is not acting on existing law authored by Congressman Hunter - who by the way has spoken to President Bush specifically on this issue. During a radio broadcast on Sean Hannity, Congressman Hunter said Bush was surprised only 2.8 miles (of single fence, not double) had been constructed.
There will never be a 1650 mile fence. Far too expensive and a nightmare to maintain.
You could build the fence for the cost of one B-2 bomber. Moreover, your defeatist attitude towards the sovereignty and security of this nation is appalling. I am glad you weren't around telling everyone in 1941 the Pentagon could not be constructed in 18 months because it would be "far too expensive and a nightmare to maintain."
We just need more Border Agents. Fences don't arrest people or track them down.
You mean like the Border Agents who are languishing in jail (one of whom was beaten in prison) because they fired on a drug smuggler and didn't fill out the necessary report about a firearm being used? Those Border Agents? Where do I sign up with this kind of wonderful administration support and backing?
There will never be deportation en masse, so we need to assimilate millions of folks. Call it what you will.
When President Eisenhower got serious about ferreting out illegals, millions went home voluntarily. You just refuse to consider that option because you want to throw your hands in the air and give these lawbreakers (and their extended families that are SURE to follow) amnesty.
We need to stop "pardoning" anyone who is convicted of a crime.
Then tell me, why is there a Pardon at all? It is Constitutional and legal, correct? Lets just get rid of it then. No? The Pardon is in place for circumstances where an injustice has taken place.
will be of no good to anyone to "pardon" him. It will be an embarassment to GW. We do not want that to happen. No pardon for Libby, and there will never be one.
Good gracious! An embarrassment to GW!? Can't let that happen, so lets throw this man in prison for a few years and destroy his life. Have you read anything about the travesty of this case?
I am amazed at post like yours of FR. You make the administration sound selfish and self serving by that previous statement.
Perhaps you are finally right.
I think the House is a certainty with a strong, broadly-appealing candidate like Thompson leading the ticket. But I doubt even that would help the Senate race too much -- the seats up for election are overwhelmingly GOP; the GOP would need to hold them all and pick up a few seats in the precious few 'rat seats in play.
He didn't "let" them get away.....
I believe he saw the "writing on the wall"...and realized there was no way in heck the invertebrates in both houses were going to vote him out.
Fences don't arrest people or track them down.
- Not support Amnesty There will never be deportation en masse, so we need to assimilate millions of folks. Call it what you will.
It's called AMNESTY!! And I think a grand majority of Americans don't WANT IT!
Good fences make good neighbors...and it would be one heck of a lot CHEAPER to build a fence than assimilation.
Give me a break!
-That'll never happen, or should never happen. We need to stop "pardoning" anyone who is convicted of a crime. Libby lied. It will be of no good to anyone to "pardon" him. It will be an embarassment to GW. We do not want that to happen. No pardon for Libby, and there will never be one.
GW is already mired in the teens in poll after poll....The MSM/DBM hate him...and many GOP'ers aren't happy with him. How can he be more embarrassed?
Scooty Libby deserves a pardon...the sentence DOES NOT FIT THE CRIME....
Fair enough..........
Explain that crack, or bite me.
