How can it be strictly a state issue
if a federal office is involved?

[Antoninus]

Out in the Pine Barrens he's known as "Lousenberg"

Here in Cherry Hill, he's known as "Lousenberg" too. Just a tax-and-spend, liberal creep.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Is there not one dimmocrat who will stand up and insist his or her political party obey the laws they took an oath to uphold?

Not in the Clinton Democrat Party. The Clintonista Rats create messes like this on purpose. These messes give them the ability to demagogue. Demagoguery leads to the ability to convince society that you can take what you cannot win. When you own the media, this becomes possible. It is the Clinton formula: When you lose, create a conflict (a mess), make it as messy as you can, chip away at institutions that won't do your bidding, and create the plausible impression that you are the wronged party -- the impression that your opponent has done to you what you have actually done to them.

With a tuned-out, cynical and checked-out society, the meaning of the action is lost in the clutter of noise: It is a revolution, a coup-de-tat, in a different form.

What's going on is that we are witnessing the hijacking of an election by desperate Democrats who's number one priority to to maintain power and this is exactly the point that President Bush was making when DassHole had his temper tantrum.

Arbitrary law: Apply only when convienient.

Democrats are sabotaging the security of the nation in a scorched earth policy to maintain power.

Lautenberg Calls for Tobacco-Free Baseball; Touts Web Site

Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) has asked baseball players to refrain from using chewing tobacco during the first inning of all postseason games. Lautenberg also announced that he will be calling for a tobacco-free spring training and a tobacco-free All-Star game next year. Tobacco use is banned in minor league baseball but the Major League Players Association says that education, not a ban, is the best way to discourage tobacco use.

Lautenberg has taken several steps recently to generate media attention for himself and tobacco issues. One recent press release said, "Stay ahead on the tobacco news . . . Interview Sen. Frank Lautenberg." Another release touted Lautenberg's tobacco-related Web site: "From legislation . . . to tips on quitting smoking . . . to constantly updated briefings on lawsuits . . . Tobacco Control Central is your one-stop shop on the World Wide Web. Bookmark it today."

"Contact Zell Miller, why don't you?"

He stopped returning my calls... ;^)

[nutmeg]

I'm doing everything I can to not get myself banned from FR.It's all I can do to keep my fingers from typing what I'm really thinking. Deja vu all over again. There goes Halloween,and I hope not Christmas and Thanksgiving again.My poor husband better get used to a dirty house,no food, and a wife that mutters something about "dirty Rat-B--tards.

LOL, I can relate! Now that this NJ election heist is underway, I'm wondering... what are the 'RATs gonna pull in Missouri???

[Wphile]

I hope he is right too but he is so very often wrong. I have no idea how the people of NJ are taking this.

I'm going to put up a thread in a while:

"Dick Morris just said NJ has 2 Senators... One Bought his seat and the other sold his seat."

If there's any justice in the U.S., the Torch's seat will soon be sold for packs of smokes.

[tomahawk]

The DemonCraps are gangsters, nothing less.

[nutmeg]

LOL, I'll be looking for your thread! :-)

[Howlin]

I am becoming quite jaded.....there doesn't seem to be ANY law that is not bendable.

When do I stop telling MY kids to obey the laws.

[Wphile]

It's a federal office but the states dictate the rules for elections. They aren't trying to change the terms of the office, just how one attains that office.

Linda Chavez did not believe there was a federal issue involved here. She's convinced it's a done deal.

[cyncooper]

The article fails to point out that the 51 day rule would be rendered a dead letter. There would be no factual situation to which it applied.

The way I have observed the media behave (with a few exceptions on Fox) they are analyzing the law for any loopholes to help the dems achieve their goal.

Their aim right now is not to render a factual account of the language of the law, just how that language can be manipulated.

In contrast to Clinton's desire to raise cigarette prices $1.50 over 10 years, Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., wants that price hike immediately.

[NRA1776]

"Shouldn't the Dems have to replace Toricelli with whoever garnered the second-most votes in the primary??????"

He ran unopposed in the primary election.

[jackbill]

Did they check this guy out for early Alzheimers? Did you see his "acceptance speech"? Rambling, rambling, rambling.

Fortunately, I don't think he has a prayer of getting on the ballot - in any way, shape, manner or form.

[tomahawk]

DemonCraps don't care about the law. They care about power. They will willingly murder, loot and destroy for power. Whatever it takes. The law has no value to them, if it stands in the way of their power.

[Howlin]

I hope you offer some advice.......LOL.
