As more Americans join the Republican Party or become indys, the dems will try anything to win elections. You'd think it'd be easier to just find decent Americans to run for office but they've just got Geps and Dash-it-alls, Conyers, Waters, HRC, et al.

I am also glad that Pubbie Smith lost his race to Sununu. I have no patience for RINOS either. Nice that McCain is startin' to support the POTUS at least in his rhetoric this week. How long has he been fighting with Dubya? Almost long enough to lose his base in AZ.

What are you up to? Good job. (^: I'm posting pertinent FR posts on the "Republicans Comment on the Dems. trashing Florida's reputation" thread to be forwarded to press/GOP/Alcee Hastings, etc....Florida Republicans are fighting back, fairly and with determination. The Dems. will pay for their mischief this time (insert "Flight of the Valkyries" here).

The 3 detainees in Alligator Alley are from Ross University in NY. Do we have any way to check Ross University and surrounding area for sleeper cells? Please advise or ping someone who can find out. Thanks, FV

LOL! I should have clarified:

McBride's done other things that shall remain off the record. If it comes out in public or Court, I'll do a thread.

What are you up to, here? But thanks for the lowdown on your busy day. Hash browns, yum! Friday's soup and sandwiches for me, tomato and grilled cheese.

Oh,oh...I said cheese. Now some wise guy will bring up moose (^:

You're talking about the Florida prank this morning? I didn't know they were from NY and can't help re: sleeper cells. But here's the latest I've heard on them, just fyi (click on the links if interested).....

Per FOX News Channel, it seems that the three detainees are from three different ME countries - Pakistan, Iran & Jordan. Possibly they didn't speak a common language except for English I suppose. Also, their story is they were heading to a hospital for some medical seminar and their alibi (reservations) is confirmed by the hospital where the seminar is to be held. That still doesn't explain their conversation and behavior, etc.

I-75 is still closed on that 20 mile stretch.....

PS: The speculation is that they were playing a "joke" on the lady in the booth next to them. Looks like the joke is on them, imho..........

They are still being retained for further questioning, etc.

The 3 "medical students" were released about 45 minutes ago. Now, they disappear into our free society. Even though they could be prosecuted for making a terrorist threat (hoax), if they disappear, how can they be charged with a crime?

The one guy's sister (in white muslim garb) said she thought the Georgia hero was LYING. Throw them all out. They are sympathizers of Al Quaeda. I don't know where the sister was holding her press conference from but you know, profiling, prejudice, blah, blah, blah.

And, the cops didn't release their names because I'm sure they're afraid someone is going to harm them and then the families are going to sue the cops.

Hmm? I bet she left out the part where the police said that these idiots were "uncooperative" when questioned? They should be prosecuted for the mess they caused. You don't go to an airport and joke about bombs. This isn't much different, imho......

It is a form of terrorism even though there was no actionable criminal act. They scared the woman and everybody in Florida. Actionable as a Federal Crime however, even though there wasn't any violence. CONNIE CHUNG SEEMS TO WANT THE GEORGIA WOMAN INVESTIGATED. I think that lady from Georgia is a hero. Thank you Connie, sorry I accidentally had CNN on for a minute or so.

If this lady from Georgia gets drug through the mud, we'll have to send her a letter of support somehow. She's now in the media spotlight and being accused of being prejudiced and a liar by people that I do not trust or have any respect for - WHATSOEVER. It's over for me with muslims.

It seems to me that they told us during the recount that these three counties always report last. they use the excuse that they are the most populous, but they are the dem strongholds and they wait to see how many votes they need to win. Then they add them. This has been going on indefinately.

Between the first report and the machine recount in Bush v Gore Palm Beach county magically found 10,000 more votes for Gore.

Also the election supervisor in Miami refused to purge his rolls of illegal felons, as instructed by the Secretary of State. Someone was doing a tally of felons who voted in Miami that was reported in our newspapers. The tally went up to 5,000 before the thing ended. Presumably, it is still the same. A local radio personality has been faulting Bush for not restoring all 60,000 voters who were purged. Most were correct, because the election supervisors doublechecked.

If you were to visit Miami, you would be hard pressed to see any Americans. It is overrun with illegals from South America, the Carribean, and Haiti. English is rarely spoken. However, it is not PC to ask how many voters were illegals. That is the big fraud that cannot be mentioned. It will be interesting to see how the Justice department reacts. A TV personality joked that Folridah go back to being a territory until they learn to hold elections correctly.

Connie Chung? Sheesh. She is way down on my list (further now).

Yesterday, when Eunice Stone, the lady in Georgia that did the right thing in reporting what she overheard in Shoney's, was on FOX News, and she received high praise from several of their staff and guests. If the LIBS try to drag Eunice through the mud, I can GUARANTEE you that they will have answer to Bill O'Reilly !! That assumes that she's not found to be a racist (which I don't think will be the case).

Get this ! FOX News just said that the CEO at the medical school these guys were going to aren't going to be welcomed. Said he doesn't need any trouble-makers !

He's gonna help them find somewhere else to go, though. They said something about hate e-mails too. (I think I got all that detail right).

They can go to medical schools SOMEWHERE ELSE! But, of course tne native born American slime. I am so over comments about racial profiling. We are doing it to stay alive for God's sake.
