I guess that will never happen....since I don't speak Eubonics.
Sad......

Good evening Luis, here we go eh? I hope not...=o)
There is a big difference between hammering out a give and take compromise with Demoncrats, and giving away the farm, for free. Reagan understood this difference. Here is another quote on a subject he refused to compromise on.
"A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply swell its numbers...And if there are those who cannot subscribe to these principles, then let them go their way."--Ronald Reagan
Unfortunately, things have completely reversed and now conservatives are being invited to leave the Party.

All we are looking for right now is a sense that our leaders are fighting for our agenda, and not that of our enemiesThese were your words.....right?
Indeed they were. If you would read them in context, and if you had an open mind, you would understand what I'm saying.
CFR was the plan of our political 'enemies'...but was accomplished with the assistance of many Republicans...including the President.
The education bill was Teddy Kennedy's wet dream...and was accomplished with the support of many Republicans...including the President.
Tom Harkin has been trying to pass his version of the the Soviet five year plan for agriculture for the last 30 years...and got it done this year, with the help of Republicans, including the President.
With Reagan, we always had the sense that he was fighting for our agenda, even if he didn't always succeed. I believe he would have vetoed all three of those bills, personally.

Read the much hated patriot act. Look at the Homeland Security plan, that you all hate with such a passion, that makes the INS enforcement arm separate from the INS welcome wagon,. Look at the recent sweeps of illegals at the airports. Then come back and apologize.

Don't know if it helps or not...but it is very sad that the very act of asking simple basic questions is viewed as something bad.

Seems kindof wierd that the boys that always claim to be beating the pants off you guys always seem to stoop to using terms like gormless twit sooner or later.

He has the best aides and office staff also. I called his office after the Jeffords debacle to complain which is when I found out that his PAC had donated $10,000 to the Jeffords campaign AFTER Jeffords came around looking for support. I thought I was mad, but the woman I talked to was madder than I was!
Same was true of impeachment. I still have his letter explaining how Democrat Senators and some Republicans would not even go look at the evidence and had no intention of voting to remove Clinton so they ignored evidence and the votes were NEVER going to be there to remove. They would not budge. NOTE: Not one DemocRAT voted to remove!
Recently he has taken on ms. clinton twice quite publically even though the mainstream press chose to ignore it. If there were a lot more Senators like him and Sen Inhofe, the United States Senate would be a lot better place.
To: All
A good night to all.

You know good and well that "meanspirited" is what the liberals called Rush during the early 90's. You've called me a "reactionary" plenty of times as well. I admit that the "running dogs" part was hyperbole, but you're a fun target because you take yourself so seriously.
To: ~Kim4VRWC's~
Thank you, ma'am. I'll look it over.
To: EternalVigilance
So you really didn't mean it. OK.
To: DoughtyOne
If you want to take a swipe at me, at least PING me so I can respond in kind. You've been here long enough to know better.

"States have the right to refuse those funds, don't they? "It is an infringement of the rights of the states for the federal government to control any amount of education funding. That they currently do so and that the states can choose to "refuse" this funding doesn't make it less of an infringement.
To: Mo1; Amelia
That was one of President and Mrs. Bush's projects to encourage retired military to become school teachers. Like Amelia said, they usually make great teachers.
I agree it is a great way to start taking back the schools!
To: Uncle Sham
That they currently do so and that the states can choose to "refuse" this funding doesn't make it less of an infringement. Circular logic.

Once again, was this Lott or Nichols? Lott right?
Recently he has taken on ms. clinton twice quite publically even though the mainstream press chose to ignore it. If there were a lot more Senators like him and Sen
Inhofe, the United States Senate would be a lot better place.
Now, this is Nichols right?
To: Texasforever
So you really didn't mean it. OK. You really do need to brush up on your comprehension skills. Good night.
To: Reagan Man
There are a lot here laughing at you, R-Mam. -- While only you and maybe roscoe seem bemused with my wit, -- which is understandable, seeing you two bear the brunt of it.
To: Reagan Man
Yes, you have been here long enough to know better. I agree.
