[Gay State Conservative]

What was Stupak offered?

[norge]

This is how Joel Stein would write if he were a grown-up.

[yarddog]

I did not realize what a good writer Ben Stein is. He is also a good man. More importantly he is a good man doing good things.

[neverdem]

What was Stupak offered?

According to Ben Stein, Sestak was offered the job of Secretary of the Navy if he didn't challenge Arlen Specter in the rat primary.

[bobby.223]

oh my! I wonder how many younger FReepers are up on ‘Have gun...will travel’??!!. One of the greatest shows of a time, long ago.

[Oldexpat]

Thank you, Ben Stein. Well said. Every day I hear people question why we fight in Iraq and A. We fight for freedom and human dignity. We don’t ask for much.
There are those who try their best to burn down the Shinning City on the Hill. But the truth is far different. We don’t fight for empire or oil, but freedom.

[yarddog]

For a long time, I thought his name was Wire Paladin. I was just a kid.

"Parnell Roberts IIRC"

Richard Boone? .................. FRegards

[no dems]

Is anything ever going to come of this attempted bribe of Sestak by the White House? Any idea; anybody???

[matthew fuller]

After going to youtube and watching the video, a question entered my mind (was Richard Boone gay) so I went to wiki to see what I could find out. Most of the article convinced me that he wasn’t, and I learned that he was a descendant of Daniel Boone’s younger brother, and cousin to Pat Boone. Seems that Richard had three wives, and one child. He also fought in WWII. But at the end of the article, I started to wonder about it again, because of something Maureen O’Hara said about Richard and Peter Lawford and a gay brothel in Australia. Overall, he led a hell of a life, it sounds like.

Issa WTH are you waiting for?

Having a majority in the House? IIRC, you can't do much in the House without a majority of votes other than make noise.

[stevie_d_64]

But a little noise...When properly applied does wonders for the majority of rashes in that place as far as I am concerned...

Be nice to hear a little noise from time to time...It means we still have some folks there that are not concerned about being a politician, but more concerned about this country than themselves...

I don’t think that exists anymore up there though, unfortunately...

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Maybe someday Ben will write an article explaining his support of Al Franken in 2008.......

[FreedomPoster]

>>He is also a good man.

He tarnished that considerably for me with his support for Franken. And really, Ralph Nader!?

Some select items from his FEC database. In fairness, there were also a lot of Republican contributions.

In addition, Stein has supported Obama on various policy issues:

Stein: Obama Is So Right on Bank Reform
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/04/25/sunday/main6430581.shtml

While I’m sure we’ve needed “Bank Reform”, what we needed certainly isn’t what we got from the Dems. Any Financial Reform that didn’t include Fannie and Freddie, the evil twins, is simply a joke.
