MANY freepers were opposed to CFR LONG... BEFORE Limbaugh and ACU

Because McCain advanced it.

There's one constant principle in politics: THE GOP ALWAYS HAS MORE MONEY!!!

That money finds a way to get where it needs to go.

Marc Racicot never said a word against this CFR. I suspect he's already devised some ways around it.

Thomas More, in MAN FOR ALL SEASONS, said "What are the words? We must look at the words, because the words are important."

The words are important because they give us a way around them.

The words are important because they give us a way around them.

THERIN lies the problem.. we should NOT be looking for a way around them.. we should STRONGLY OPPOSE it at FACE VALUE.. period

You are avoiding the question. Why sign a bill you know is illegal? Political gain? Yeah, that's what I heard when GH Bush "compromised" with the Democrats and raised taxes. We were going to win in a landslide because we showed we could work with the Democrats. Yeah. Good move. Cost us the White House. Now Bush is going to expend his political capital signing a bill that shows NO interest in polls except on Capital Hill. What does he gain from this? Nothing. He'll just piss off the base. Brilliant. He has RINO's feeding him political advice just like his dad did.

"What are the words? We must look at the words, because the words are important."

As in "Excess" human embryos "already been killed"?

The words are important because they give us a way around them.

Is that a quote from Marx or Lenin ?

Yeah. Kinda like what the meaning of "is", is. Sounds painfully familiar.

See comment #253 for some words that may give Bush a way around them. Notice he didn't say he would sign the bill.
