LIAR!

[Holden Magroin]

legislation to require unions to obtain authorization from each dues-paying worker before spending those dues on activities unrelated to collective bargaining.

Too bad no such provision is in McLame-Feingold.

Your post #1 looks exactly like the email I just sent to him. He has lost my trust. He's a liar. I didn't blame his dad for the tax thing, he was tricked. This is different. The man is a politician first. He's a liar. I want a refund due to false advertising.

President Bush supports including a non-severability provision, so if any provision of the bill is found unconstitutional, the entire bill is sent back to Congress for further adjustments and deliberations.

Who the hell is he kidding?...He knows it's as unconstitutional as murder, WE know it, his entire staff knows it and anyone with a thread of respect for the 1ST knows it.

This is precisely what happens when you entertain "moderation" for the sake of popularity....Moderates believe in NOTHING, Mr. President!.

Here's a bill that limits free speech months before an election, protects incumbency and ensures that the remaining FEW who still bother to vote in this country and actively participate in protecting our FUNDEMENTAL RIGHTS will be effectively handcuffed from doing their duty as AMERICAN CITIZENS!

Lead or get the hell out.

Let's keep bashing Bush guys....maybe electing Hillary in 2 years ,since many of you will vote for a 3rd party candidate, will make you fell better.

Well, I guess the good news is that Shays-Meehan violates at least two of them, so we could be looking at a veto.

Fingers crossed on both hands...

[tbg681]

Wow -- and I only thought liberals got hysterical about non-issues (yes, and I know the Constitution IS an issue)

Folks, this is bullshit! Calm down. There's enough loopholes in this thing to drive a Harvester thru...

...Mitch McConnell made sure.

Calm down, please...I LOVE Freepers, but we're going off the deep end here

Freep this poll: Should President Bush Sign the Campaign Finance Reform Bill Into Law?

[jonboy]

Ahem (sound of voice clearing). Perhaps I should put on my flame proof suit for stating the obvious. Everyone said that he would pick a pro-choice VP. He didn't. Everyone said that he would allow funding for continued stem cell research. He didn't. Now everyone is saying here at this forum that President Bush is going to BLATENTLY go against EASILY verifiable campaign rhetoric to sign a terrible and UNCONSTITUTIONAL bill that guts the First Amendment. They say that he is an idiot, a liar, a sellout, etc. etc. etc. and HE HAS NOT EVEN SIGNED THE BILL!!!! If the President wants to play politics and keep people guessing to the end that is his call. I'm banking on the fact that when he says something he means it. Maybe I'm naive and setting myself up for a fall. But I believe that he will come out of this somehow smelling like a rose with the bill NOT HAVING BEEN SIGNED. I don't think for a minute that he is so stupid to sign something that will hurt him with a substantial number in his base but which will not really help him. Do we all REALLY think that he is going to allow the Democrats to come back and bang him over the head with this as they say, "While we are glad the President NOW agrees with us on campaign Finance reform, we find it very troubling that he would say one thing in the campaign and do another for political reasons, VERY troubling."

I'll make my prediction. BUSH WILL NOT SIGN THIS BILL! Write it down and either eat crow or tell me so later.

At the time of his approach to Red China, Richard Nixon (a REPUBLICAN for those of you from Rio Linda) was approached by an internationalist businessman who was literally salivating over the prospect of access to the BILLIONS of potential Chinese slave laborers and “customers” (although this rocket scientist had apparently not yet concluded that the Chinese people would be hard pressed to buy his stuff without MONEY!!!!).

This businessman was concerned that Nixon had been SAYING that he was cooling to the idea of an opening to Red China to quell the uprising within the then very much more America-First rank and file Republican Party.

As reported years later, Nixon told the businessman
“DON’T LISTEN TO WHAT WE SAY: WATCH WHAT WE DO!"

AS YOU READ THIS, IT APPEARS THAT BUSH, DASCHLE AND OTHERS ARE WELL DOWN THE ROAD TO USING THIS PAGE FROM THE NIXON PLAYBOOK!

IT APPEARS THAT DUBYA -- LIKE NIXON (and numerous others) BEFORE HIM --IS NOW "DOING" US (IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE).

Look, America – the IDEA not the PLACE – can only continue to exist if we heed the advice of the founding fathers (paraphrased here in the current vernacular for residents of Rio Linda), to wit:
“The Founding Fathers have determined that failure to WATCH politicians – ALL POLITICIANS (even those you may worship!) – is dangerous to the security of this nation and to the freedoms we paid such a heavy price to TRY to leave you and your children.”

“Government is not reason. Government is not eloquence. It is FORCE. And, like fire, it is a DANGEROUS SERVANT AND A FEARSOME MASTER.”
That from that notorious tinfoil hat wearing, radical wing-nut, George Washington.

Most of you people are upset because you don't know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, so carrying the guilt and stain of sin is a heavy burden. With Jesus, it don't matter which way the political winds blow, he is always there for you. Makes getting through life so much easier, because you quickly understand fallen man doesn't have any real solutions, only the good Lord above.

CFR will not hurt the GOP, soft money helps the RATS not the GOP PLUS the supreme CT will throw this CFR out, so relax...

[Rome2000]

Lets not get too hysterical here, not one persons political speech will ever be stifled by this bill, no matter which way it goes.

[Rudder]

The only answer to this is to enact term limits for all political offices--why not?

The Presidential Oath Of Office:

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of the President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States."

I don't see what's so difficult to understand here. CFR needs to be vetoed, but fast.

Mr. President, I still have faith you'll do the right thing. If not, hey, Texas may still be part of the United States come 2004. You'll enjoy spending more time there.
