DOA, as long as the 41 vote GOP firewall holds up in the Senate.. . . which sounds good until you start naming names. McCain will be of no help. Lots of others in that same category. Some "firewall."

This exactly the crap we will now be dealing with and it is very scary. It is more important than anything to battle this and this is the time to SUPPORT FREE REPUBLIC WITH A FINICIAL DONATION NOW to keep this forum up and running... Very true as far as it goes, and I'm in. But if this thing passes and isn't vetoed we are going to need serious money for court costs over and above our operating costs. And if it does come to that, I say "Let's roll!"

You'd better be careful what you wish for with your 'electable' candidates. If/when they are the nominee and when they lose, the GOP will officially be dead. You can't keep trying to go left and think others will give up more and more of their principles. The GOP is going further and further to the left with people like you.

...we must not practice the first. This seems to be the crux of the biscuit for me. I see us doing more of former and less of the latter. We seem to be giving up a heck of a lot of ground with nothing gained.
Concern about such a trend should be obvious.

No it won't. We don't have the guts for it any more.
That, and the new season of American Idol is on. People have better things to do than pay attention to what government is doing.

"Apathy, Pessimism and cultural diversity is what brought down the Roman Empire.
You are contributing to at least two of those dynamics."
The refusal to face reality as it is is what brought down the French Empire in 1940.
But let's all just put our fingers in our ears, call De Gaulle a "defeatist" and keep shouting all the louder "Maginot will WORK! They shall not pass! Maginot will work! Maginot will work!"
Then maybe it will.

Neal Boortz is a dumbass.
But back to the subject at hand...
The quicker these whack jobs try to pass this legislation the better...if we're smart...we'll hold it up til around election time and clean their clocks with it.

I remember similar fantasizing about McCain-Feingold. I don't trust the GOP to filibuster it, and I sure as hell don't trust Bush to veto it. Sure is nice to imagine we have representatives that give a damn about unfettered airwaves, though.

Exactly! America must wake up! But they just yawn and go on about their business everytime one of our freedoms is taken away.

"They won't need to use executive authority."
I was thinking beyond that. I was thinking about who the next President will appoint to the USSC. Remember there are three who will probably go out in the next 8 years. A current USSC might overturn an unconstitutional muzzle on free speech, but an executive order could trump that.
