I never called anyone a racist or nazi or KKKer.

Of course you did, you were called on it many times.

And calling yourself a moderate on illegals deserves a spot on the top-ten understatements of the year. You are known by your words and many of us will not forget yours or let you forget them.

On June 14, I had 20,000 shares of EPCT. It closed at 2.18. My average cost: 2.20 1/2. Overnight they made a “news” announcement. I sold ‘em all at 2.84 in the pre-market. It opened at 2.82 (the high for the day) and closed at 2.41 (virtually the low for the day). Next day it hit 2.27 and hasn’t sniffed 2.84 since.

According to your brilliant strategy, I guess I screwed-up and should have bought at the opening on 6-15 at 2.82!

Do some volume studies. Money always moves in advance of events. Do you know how naive it sounds to call that silly?

There were only two things that saved the day: 1. The willingness of a handful of Senators to put the good of their country, and principle, ahead of PARTY; and 2. the instinct for survival of the far greater number who valued their own sorry hides above PARTY as well.

I don't think it could possibly be stated any more clearly than you did. Great post...thank you!

If he wins. Hunter Thompson is the only candidate I've contributed to. Thompson and Guilianni right now look like the big dogs in the fight. If it is Guilianni I'd love to see a conservative VP.

Me too. Let's see fully automatic weapons, Wild Turkey, and LSD for everyone. Now that is a platform I can get behind.

. Gonzo! :)

LOL . . . I know. I corrected the post to Duncan Hunter, but pointed out that Hunter Thompson would have been reliable on free speech and the right to bear arms.

“Brilliant post!”

Oh, really.

A “handful” of Senators saved the day? What was the final vote tally again? And what is the party affiliation of those who voted “Aye” and “Nea”?

“..perhaps I need a new TV..”

Nothing wrong with your TV. Try drinking a glass of scotch in the morning and you too will be red in the face.

“..we will find the answers for our dilema in this country.God be with us!”

Prayer is always good and effective. However, it is an outrage that the people of this country has to pray to God so that their reps in Congress do the right thing. It only shows that many in Congress are the enemy. We should be praying together WITH Congress as one country. Ah yes, the treasures of diversity and multiculturalism.

If Bush has started drinking again, per the rumors...

Are you joking, or are there really credible rumors, not just moonbat rumors?

RUSH: Dave in Green Village, New Jersey. Nice to have you on the program.

CALLER: Mega dittos, ditto power.

RUSH: Thank you, sir.

CALLER: I'd like to propose an amendment to the immigration bill.

RUSH: Well, it's dead. The immigration bill is dead.

CALLER: Well, it is, but this might bring it back to life.

RUSH: They might. They will at some point. It's going to be back in some form.

CALLER: This might help it. Number one: amnesty for all drunk drivers involved in committing vehicular homicide in July 1969.

RUSH: (Laughing.) July of 1969.

CALLER: It just might help. Amnesty --

RUSH: By the way, that reminds me. We've got a bite here from Senator Kennedy. Don't lose your train of thought, but you've reminded me of something.

CALLER: Sure.

RUSH: Where are the sound bites? Okay. Sound bite five. Senator Kennedy unwittingly solved the problem here -- well, could have -- of illegal immigration. You got sound bite five ready to go? All right, hit it.

KENNEDY: We know what they're against! We don't know what they're for! Time and time again, they tell us, "We don't like this provision! We don't like that provision! We don't want that part of it!" Well, they ought to be able to explain to the American people what they are for! What are they going to do with the 12 and a half million, erra, who are undocumented here? Send them back? Send them back to countries around the world? More than $250 billion, buses that would go from Los Angeles to New York and back again? Try and find them. Develop a type of Gestapo here to seek out these people that are in the shadows? That's their alternative? That's their alternative!

RUSH: If Senator Kennedy would drive some of the buses, problem solved! (Laughing.) Okay, so you want amnesty for all drunk drivers involved in committing vehicular homicide July 1969. What's number two?

CALLER: Number two: amnesty for all former KKK grandmasters, or whatever they're called.

RUSH: He was a kleagle I don't think he ever reached Grand Wizard status. Kleagle.

CALLER: Senator Byrd.

RUSH: Yeah, Senator Byrd. He was a cyclops, a Grand Cyclops, kleagle. But he voted no on cloture today.
CALLER: Oh, okay.

RUSH: Yeah.

CALLER: And then the third group and last would be amnesty for any senator in suspicious land deals in Arkansas, Nevada, New Jersey or Illinois.
