Churches that have gone looey have brought all sorts of trouble upon and around themselves.

"You should have asked her the name of this ‘reporter’ and told her there is video and audio of whole thing that proves it was a false allegation. I think the Tea Party should sue all of them for defamation."

I mentioned the video. I was too hot to think of asking the name of the reporter. I just asked her who did she think was more trustworthy, a member of congress or a law-abiding citizen.

Has anyone pointed to this? I’ve just dropped back into the thread. It’s interesting. Plus I just this moment Heard Rep. Pitts mention it on Fox Business w/Cavuto.

Dr. Coburn is awesome. In 2004, he had all funding cut off in DC during the primary by the powers at be but Toomey and Club for Growth came in and the OK grassroots went to work. Have never made that many calls for one candidate in my life. He won the 3-way primary without a runoff.

Then in the general the RAT Carson sounded like a conservative when he wasn’t. OK grassroots never gave up on Dr. Tom and we kept on pushing. One Senator stands out and stood up for Dr. Tom which was George Allen. Never forget that he wouldn’t go along. Denny Hastert said about three weeks before the election that Dr. Tom was going to lose. Never thought so because we could have given away a lot more Coburn/Bush shirts at the OU Homecoming and when I wore it to my seat kept getting go Coburn comments.

He won going away and has been standing up for Oklahomans and Americans ever since to cut earmarks and pork and now on healthcare. Best candidate I have ever worked for in my life.

the one with stricken words said how dare that side attack dems for not caring about our military and named the rep on the pedestal specifically

[SE Mom]

You have my sympathy :)

See # 4,893 for partial explanation..

[spectre]

I wouldn't be proud of that...

was an effort to lighten the mood at the time is all

John Wayne once said that in a b&w movie

McCain did not fight hard enough, and I hold him responsible for that. Obama needed to be flogged and flouted, not discreetly questioned.

When did McStain ever question Obama? He never questioned his eligibility, nor pointed out his associations. Those were off limits, in spite of Palin's desire to put them in front of the public.

Although I don't care much for McStain, I think he was sandbagged by his own campaign staff, who would rather lose than have Palin, the daughter of a backwoods teacher, and pretty much "redneck" to the core, have any share in the government or the credit for the win.

[sissyjane]

McDermott, the rat bastard.

[goodnesswins]

So, instead of supporting Palin, you’ll help elect a DEMONCrat.....swell....great thinking there....

This is the amendment that was introduced and subsequently voted down by the Dems. Steve Buyer spoke very eloquently about the shortcomings on the coverage of the bill as it stood now. I wish I could be more specific but it was one of the last amendments introduced and yes, I had been in the wine. :^(

Would protect the integrity and independence of the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care systems and state that the TRICARE program and veterans’ health care programs meet all of the requirements for individual health insurance under the bill.

[HiTech RedNeck]

If this replicated gets us Obama again you are going to be eating those words.

[Palladin]

We should have a special thread for Friends of Bill tonight.

[Dinah Lord]

Sorry, CaptSkip! Stay strong, my friend.

[Def Conservative]

Here Here!

[DoughtyOne]

She is backing a man who has at one time or another paired up with Soros, Teressa Kerry, John Kerry, the Tides Foundation, Ted Kennedy, Richard Feingold, Joe Lieberman and other miscreants. Sorry, if a person can back this man for re-election as Senator, they don’t stand with me and I won’t stand with them.

Please let them know there are MILLIONS of us with them! Also, ask them to start singing patriotic songs and we’ll sing along:)
