Was there anybody out there from any Party that didn't know this to be the case anyway? Lawyers are a plague and these
guys are lawyers, mostly all pol's are lawyers. It is a national crisis. Too many lawyers not enough doctors!

Next Majority Leader -- Senator Don Nickles of Oklahoma -- conservative and doesn't back down to anyone! Of course I am a little prejudice since he is my Senator!
He is #2 in the Senate and when Lott went to the last budget negotiation with clinton in 2000, he wouldn't take Nickles along because clinton didn't want him there -- my guess is that Lott didn't either. That spoke volumes!

Cannot believe they don't want Government employees in Homeland Security fired for incompetence. Used to be civil service for the AF and I know it is almost impossible to get rid of incompetents. Really, really disgusts me to see the politics being played over incompetent Government workers.

2000 election cycle data from
opensecrets.org:
Democrats #1 contributor - Lawyers/Law Firms $32,848,060,
twice the amount taken by GOP in the same time frame from the Oil/Gas lobby, the favorite whipping boy of the elitist, liberal press.
Reckon' your info will go mainstream?...........unfortunately, no it won't.

Next Majority Leader -- Senator Don Nickles of Oklahoma Didn't know he was #2. That is a nice thought.

The most dangerous terrorists in the world are the American trial lawyers. That the Rats have sold out to them ain`t news. GWB has been fighting for tort reform since Texas.
They have stopped using real rats in medical lab. experiments, instead they are using lawyers:3 reasons,1]there are more of them, 2]some of the lab. workers became fond of the rats, and 3]there are some things you just can`t ask a rat to do

TRIAL LAWYERS ARE "CALLING IN A CHIT ON THIS ONE."
"[T]he Democrats are insisting that the [terrorism insurance] bill not limit non-economic damage claims by victims of terrorist attacks - reportedly at the urging of trial lawyers' lobbyists. Republicans favor a cap. Trial lawyers have given heavily to top Democrats and the Democratic National Committee over the years, and they appear to be calling in a chit on this one."
(Ted Bunker, "U.S. Insurers Slow Economy Post-Sept. 11," The Boston Herald, June 10, 2002)
I'm not exactly sure what that means yet. Does that mean a Pow-Wow with lunch?..........
chit 1 [chit ] (plural chits) noun
slip of paper: a note, bill, or any small slip of paper with writing on it, especially a statement of money owed for food and drink (dated)
[Late 18th century. Shortening of chitty , via Hindi cih , from Sanskrit citra "spot, mark," referring to the writing.]
chit 2 [chit ] (plural chits) noun
impudent girl: a child, girl, or young woman, especially one whose physical slightness seems to be at odds with an impertinent, forceful, or self-confident manner

Daschle Delayed And Delayed And Finally Passed The Trial Lawyers' Preferred Terrorism Insurance Bill. After a seven-month delay, the Senate, passed a terrorism insurance bill with none of the liability limits included in the House version. (Morton Kondracke, "Trial Lawyers As A Political Issue," The San Diego Union-Tribune, July 28, 2002)

What did he obstruct?
And when did he obstruct it?
Free the Daschle Fifty

House Majority Leader Dick Armey today called upon Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle to vote on 50 bills that have passed the House and are stalled in the Senate.
"The American people want action," said Armey. "They don't want political posturing. The Democrat-led Senate has a responsibility to vote on legislation. In fact, it's their job."
If it doesn't fit, you must obstruct it !

Fascinating little bit of philology!! I didn't know that the term "chit" came from the Sanskrit. As a matter of further interest, most Sanskrit used in English speech comes from the Gypsies--tracing their language back to India and Pakistan is how their origins were identified. About the only useful thing a linguist ever did.
"Shiv" is also gypsy/Sanskrit, meaning knife. "Punch" is as well, meaning "five" as in five fingers for a fist or five juices for a drink.
Back on topic...In SC, Hotley the Asbestos Emporer is playing boohoo heroics by taking on the lawsuit against the Saudis. What a humanitarian...what a grandstanding vulture...

PKM..my ONLY problem with Nichols is that he's not the most articulate speaker in front of a microphone, or on camera...The political wars are fought on the airwaves, and he's just not that photogenic. He also mumbles.....he's not the master of the soundbite..not a polished speaker.....that's why I think Santorum would be marvelous...

Need any help with any other questions, just freep mail me or ping me. If I don't know the answer, I will find someone that does!
First time I was on here to post an article, I had to get another Freeper to post Sen Inhofe's speech on the floor of the Senate on the Theft of Nuclear Secrets. I knew how to do replies but I had no idea how to post an entire article! Probably been through every growing pain on here that you could have including what a ping, bump, etc. was!
Glad to have you on-board!
To: PhiKapMom
Thanks very much and if I have any questions I will for sure check in with you. Appreciate your help!
