Really ? Well, it is time to bring it out again and it may be an " oldy ", but it sure is a GOODY ! :-)

Go back and read your post, that threw Rush Limbaugh into the mix.

OK, so let me recap my position here. Apparently ther has been a failure to communicate. You originally said that there was "zero" surveilance going on by the government. I gave a well known example of this surveilance being obvious by mentioning that Rush probably felt that way (that he was not subject to surveilance) too till he was suddenly confronted with the evidence of gov. surveilance in his financial transactions. At this point we seem to have developed a divergent understanding, with you seemingly (to me) trying to propose both views: that there is "zero" government surveilance going on and that the banking surveilance regarding structuring financial transactions is, and has been for a time, going on. Rush, himself, is actually irrelevant. I could have used other examples, but the Rush example is very well known and I didn't feel there would be any need to dig out evidence of it in an extended discussion the way things like the new 'patriot act' expansions of surveilance might need.

This is where I find my understanding of our discussion to this point. So I have to ask you, are you saying that there is "zero" government surveilance or that there is government surveilance? And how have we come to our current disagreement if you do agree that there is government surveilance (of the citizenry) going on? (and if you do not agree there is surveilance, how do you get around the obbious surveilance in the Rush situation?)

Funny, I feel the same way about you folks...would rather not have you as allies.

He was conservative and so well-liked by Republicans that they gave him a district of almost all Republicans and put us all together during the time I lived in Texas.

Sounds more to me like they put the most Republicans they could into a single district around him so that they'd lose fewer Democrat votes to him.

When the Dims ran the districting plan in Texas, I don't think they did anything to be nice to Republicans. I have an aunt and uncle there.

They weren't being nice to ya. They were trying to corral you so they didn't lose any other votes to your Congressman.

Sorry you lost me too! They do need Republicans up here but part of my heart will always be in the Texas Hill Country -- great place to live, great schools, great people, and a beautiful area.

Norman has been a really neat place to live but will always be partial to the Texas Hill Country!

We're saying the trigger mechanism has been in effect to years.That is surveillance,it means you are watched .I am thrilled they can get some of the terror supporters by monitoring financial activity.

[My2Cents]

I know. It gives me psychic relief to blow off steam.

[PhiKapMom]

They did corral us -- that's why the district was so large.

The funniest thing was when Henry Bonilla (R) won the heavily Democrat district that belonged to the DemocRAT Bustamante who ended up in prison. That district was drawn so that a small thin line ran to The Dominion one of the most expensive areas in the US where Bustamante lived. Bustamante portrayed himself as a poor Hispanic that knew their problems but he lived in The Dominion and then went to jail! The District gave Bonilla a chance and elected him everytime afterward. Now Bonilla is in a more Republican friendly area with the redistricting.

I resent your broad brush characterization of a great bunch of girls!

But it's ok for you to use your broad brush and attack Libertarians. Classic! LOL

[PhiKapMom]

I told Joe that was the one thing I agreed with him on too -- probably the only thing!

[Neets]

Maybe this will help him out a little.

[PhiKapMom]

Apples and Oranges -- you are an adult -- those are college kids and my daughter belongs to that sorority and cannot defend herself and her sorority.

Sorry you don't see the difference.

Have you bothered to read the platform of the Libs? As a conservative, maybe you better go read it!

[MEG33]

LOL!

[Huck]

So far, every indication I've seen from George W. Bush's nominees to the federal courts is that they have been 100% stellar in their conservative judicial philosophies.

I'd like to know how you know this. I don't get to read the news so much these days, but I know the names Owens, Brown, Estrada, and Pickering. I know what the Federalist Society is, but I am not sure besides Estrada who else is a member. But I don't know very much at all about their philosophies, or how they might rule on key issues, or what cases they would be willing to overturn, etc. Do you? Where is that information?
