Bummer. Gradegov.com rated him an “A.” No jokes, please. We can’t afford to lose any more high rated folks. Gotta wonder if the leftists are ENTRAPPING these guys in the same way their buds in the KGB use “Foxes” to compromise enemies? Sounds like Saul Alinsky to me.

Oh I knew the story was true, just speculating why chickadee and I weren’t seeing the ‘tweets’.

Clear your browser cache, and then reload the page. Sometimes MS Explorer holds onto to old pages for WAY TOO LONG. After you clear your cache, you’ll see the “current” page.

Boehner did the right thing cutting him lose. If he can’t ride herd on these mutts were back to Foley, Craig, Abramoff, Cunningham, Delay. And they are as much responsible for Obama, and Pelosi and Reid regime as anything. The silent majority will not caucus with the republicans when this sort of thing goes on.

I tried switching just now to IE (I usually use Firefox), but the page looks the same as the one I posted.

it provides a tremendous medium where movement conservatives can point each other in the direction of relevant stories that would otherwise go completely noticed by the MSM. That notice then gives to the relevant story the critical mass it needs to drive it to a level that it then can't be ignored by the MSM.

The day after the final 2008 presidential debate, the MSM and the White House was still trying to portray "Joe The Plumber" as a non-existent "Everyman" cited by John McCain. Million already knew otherwise.

The media knew from the get go and was working to discredit him as "not really a plumber" and a "deadbeat dad". They stall until they no longer have to.

The media didn't care that they got the "motive" and "associations" of the Arizona shooter wrong. It's all simply pravdaesque yellow journalism.

The Republican leadership said early on that all cases like this will be handled fast and final - zero tolerance.

Same thing I see.
Do you use a ‘hosts’ file?

I don’t know what a host’s file is??

I cleared my cached as deckhand suggested, but it didn’t make a difference (I didn’t think it would as I’ve never been to twitter before).

Great - thanks :)

I appreciate and share the concerns of some that twitter sourcing can be shaky - the few that I ever cite on FR are verified news accounts.

How would you “entrap” a guy into sending you a picture without a shirt?

'I cleared my cached as deckhand suggested, but it didn’t make a difference "

Sorry, that's all I got. My kids usually help me when I get to that stage, and no one is home but me.

Weird.

Well, I’m not one for “one size fits all” or “zero tolerance” either. Still there’s no loss. An R will win the special e;ection and the district will be redistricted away anyhow in 2012.
