CSPAN, et al. | July 24, 2002

[Howlin]

Recovering_Democrat suggested a live thread for the "song and dance" about to take place up on the Hill, so here it is!

If you see/hear it, post it.

"two members who violated a 17 year old page girl and a 17 year old page girl which is rape in every state were not expelled".

[Two Thirds Vote Aye]

Well said, YaYa!!!

[Bogey78O]

which two members?

[NeoCaveman]

Now, he's saying he was targeted because he brought John Demjanjuk home. What he leaves out, of course, is that Demjanjuk WAS a guard, not in the camp he was convicted of being in, but in another!

Thank God for the Israeli Supreme Court. Justice was done.

[Howlin]

I heard somebody say tonight that when he got himself acquitted the first time, the FBI NEVER forgives.

[Cultural Jihad]

(considering that we here at FR hear things SO much earlier than most people!)?

Ain't that the truth! News items we read about on FR become mainstreamed a couple of days later. Without wanting to sound too corny, we are indeed a people with our ears to the rail, so to speak.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I do remember this, although I can't recall their names.

[NeoCaveman]

Hey CD, watching the Congresscritter of the place where I grew up, about to be beamed up.

[floriduh voter]

Congressmen raped two pages. No names given.

[Defender2]

#842 You don't really know Jim Traficant or Congress OR Our Corrupt Government, Do you???? Hang around awhile, You'll find out just how corrupt it is!!!! No ones wallet is SAFE while Congress is in session!!!!

[OldFriend]

The excuse that others did worse is not an acceptable excuse but it is painful to watch this.

[Howlin]

Dang it! She should know better!

[NeoCaveman]

I believe one was Gary Studds?

[Two Thirds Vote Aye]

How much longer are we going to have to listen to this gibberish in the floor of the U.S. House, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD???!!!!

[YaYa123]

He better wrap this up....it's almost time for American Idol to start on the Fox channel. (I confess...I've really enjoyed watching this reality show over the evening talk shows.

[sinkspur]

This poor man is utterly pathetic. Now he's relating his encounter with cops on Saturday, in graphic detail.

[carenot]

What is this piece of crap doing in our Congress?

I wish I could vote for him.

He is a good man.

[Carolinamom]

And WHEN are the 2 congressmen rapists going to be investigated?

[gunnedah]

Friend,from a personal standpoint,I hope you dont have to find out the truth about government the way I did.I spent thirty years as a police officer and up until 90 days before I retired I believed like you.But I will swear for a fact government employess will lie through their teeth under certain circumstances and their are people in high government positions that have no qualms whatsoever in lying to enhance their careers.

[floriduh voter]

And the Levy's are still in mourning.
