OK Poohbah, when the case hits the fan, I'll page you and we can rehash tonight and with 20/20 hindsight see who was correct.

Never heard of it, are there many of you?

Frist ... was a staunch supporter of former Surgeon General Satcher

And Gary Bauer was a staunch supporter of John McCain.

See you at the next pancake breakfast, Gary.

I would say that most politically active Americans would want the Bush administration to take a stand here and file an amicus brief.

This is the statement poohbah took exception to.

Do you think the Bush administration should file a brief in the biggest affirmative action case since Bakke?

I won't let some has-been try to rile me up with rumors and smears.

Gary Bauer is not a has-been.

He was only a wanna-be.

Absolutely.

Conservatives oppose racism four square.

Period.

With a 90+ ACU rating and three bucks, you can get a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

Well, not a real big cup...mind you.

but he angered many conservatives by interfering in Republican primaries around the country, virtually always in favor of the moderate candidate over the conservative

Gosh, just think, we could have lost BIG TIME with the candidates that will satisfy this group.

Understood.

I suppose it was the association of words such as 'understanding' and 'compassionate' with T. Daschle that threw me. The man at his core is the antithesis of such adjectives. Those of the 'liberal' persuasion are blinded to the simple truth that the ideology they espouse is the precursor of tyranny - the very thing they claim to hate.

Your term 'fiasco' is appropriate. Trent ran his mouth a bit in a moment of careless Southern enthusiasm and it was blown far out of proportion. Still, intrinsically, I think the change is a good thing - not the rationale for the change. Let's see if the Republicans can make an omelette out of this scrambled mess. Blessings.

The queen of the in your face disenfranchished sisterhood of the perpetually dissatisfied conservative nit-picking bitch's movement. (FR message board faction) That's who. Watch it.

And your from the planet solo. Just how did I cook my goose with a question? That pooh bear won't answer? Just wondering anyways all pooh is doing is attacking me. LOL

I could prove it from here but that would mean I would have to show many pieces of Freepmail and that would make me a bad person in the eyes of the people who wrote them to me.

I will send you here

Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott said he will promise a partial birth abortion ban.
During an interview with American Family Radio Wednesday, Lott said, "I will call it up, we will pass it, and the president will sign it. I'm making that commitment - you can write it down."

Any thoughts?

Mine thought is: go for it, and then ban Abortion fully! It is a hex on this country!


Pending action: Lawmakers are fighting over whether terrorism insurance should protect businesses from punitive damages. Talks drag on over a wide-ranging energy bill. Congress is split over whether to ban cloning and a rarely used abortion procedure called partial-birth abortion by its foes.

notice because I defend Trent Lott and PB abortion and Pat Buchanans book Death of the west I am called a racist and this was long before Trent was smeared. To me the name racist means nothing.
I fight commie rats all over the internet day after day. I was juust banned at the Guardian ask center right.

Any other dumb questions?

No, Bauer did not smear Lott. As a matter of fact, I never saw ONE Republican leader smear Lott.

Can you give us some specific examples?

"Do most of the politically active people you PERSONALLY hang out with, aside from those on Free Republic, have the University of Michigan case as their main focus of attention right now?"

As a matter of fact the U. of Mich test case does happen to be quite pivotal regarding the direction this country turns regarding "special rights" across the board for any so-called victim group of "past institutionized unfairness."

Quite frankly, one needn't be a political rocket scientist to realize this is a wide open can o' worms should it go down the wrong way.
