I have no response. I am so upset over what I am reading now about the middle east and the inability of our leadership to call it what it is. Allowing it to spill over here .. I am just besides myself.
I understand that you two are really dissappointed with Boehnner, but when states Like Georgia make a move like this thread is headlined, I really don’t expect the Republicans to take a national stand.
they backed down on a state level according to this report. Why WOULD the GOP stick their necks out? They are already being falsely blamed for the impending government shut down which isn’t even a shut down. They are blamed for everything whether they have anything to do with it or not.
We cant even get a consensus here on FR about being “birthers”. I am sure that they believe that they would be laughed out of the congress over it.
As far as what plan or blueprint do we have .. I am just supporting a few causes at this point. I don’t see any way that we can get out of the mess that we are in at this point. If we had a strong conservative President, Senate super majority, Congressional super majority and the will of the people to back down the fed, start drilling immediately everywhere we could I would have a glimmer of hope that we could survive until 2012.
But as it stands, I don;t think there is anything left to do that will really alter the course of events that have been set up and are just finally coming into a clear view for some of us.
Get this. There are Two (2) Eligibility Bills floating around the statehouse. The legislators backing off the one, may be jumping on the bandwagon for the other. In order to reconcile the differences between the bills, one of which was drafted by a Democrat (!), a committee has been formed. (Well, that'll kill it ... for a good long while anyway.) The AJC is gloating about the boys backing off the one, but they don't mention them jumping on board the other. I actually learned that from another poster on this thread.
The Port Authority of Savannah has lobbied against the measures ... probably because they would lose a chunk of stimulus cash if the state crosses the régime. (IMHO ONLY) Other legislators fear "racial unrest" in their districts if this gets passed. So, cooling feet all around.
I owe Fantasywriter drinks all around when the first state eligibility law is passed. With this sort of parliamentary chicanery, the moths in my wallet may NEVER see the light of day.
My friend came through, and sent me a name and a phone number. I plan to call sometime tomorrow. Depending on what I learn, I’ll either ping or PM you all.
And Munz, there is no need to be discouraged. That is the OP’s purpose in posting threads like this: he wants to keep us nervy and unsettled. In the end, one or more of the eligibility bills will pass. It will be enough. In the meantime, pay no attention to the Site Pest’s attempts to dishearten you. Ignore him for all you’re worth, and see if you don’t immediately have a more upbeat and positive outlook. It’s worth a try. :)
