Ron's lost it.
It's stolen money that rightfully belongs to the taxpayers. Government simply usurped it and now decides what is to be done with it - a denial of the fundamental choice of that money's rightful owners. That being the case, I'd simply rather not get it than have a greasy piece of pork with all the government mess attached to it.
Take Metro for the perfect case - theoretically, when Tom DeLay blocks Metro from getting federal funding, he's preventing the "taxpayer's money" from being "returned" to Houston. Yet you have to ask yourself - do you want that money to go to Houston in the first place seeing as it will be used to build a light rail line that we don't need and that will cause a headache and traffic jam for millions of commuters every year? I'd rather have nothing than a money for a light rail line because that government funded light rail line makes my community a less desirable place to live.
I also detest bicyclists and would rather not have them on a government funded trail in my community, so Tom Daschle can have the bike trails for all I care. Let them be his headache as they dart out into traffic, oblivious to street lines and stop signs and under the absurd impression that they somehow have equal rights with an automobile to use our roadways for their 10mph enviro-friendly foot powered scraps of non-self-standing fender denting aluminum.
The limpertarians are irrelevant in everything they do. They'd rather talk about the economy or ending the drug war while an illegal alien sets off a suitcase bomb that forms a mushroom cloud over one of our cities.
Ron Paul is not a limpertarian, I heard him in person earlier this year when he was stating the areas where he differs with the limps, abortion being one of the bigger issues. The limps like to claim him as one of their own because that way he's their only office holder anywhere. Since their national limp candidates get 75 votes nationwide every four years, they can pretend one of their guys actually won an election and is in congress.
Our junior senator up here in MA... you know, the one who was a Viet Nam hero/turncoat, who wants to be president, voted “aye”.
McCain gave a good speach last night. I think he might be getting his marbles back.
Byrd was “Shaking and Baking”... he could hardly hold the papers in his hand.
If nobody noticed, he took Bush's document and dropped it on the floor... stepping on it.
Senator Byrd... dem senator from WV... former member of the KKK and nobody brings it up.
I don't believe in elder abuse but I'd forgive it if somebody pushed him down a flight of stairs.
Then what's his problem? His stands on things surprise me even more with a military background.....I know the military's morale is much higher with Bush as the Commander-in-Chief than with Klintoon......for just one. There's lots of other reasons why one could respect Bush as compared to Klintoon......or many past presidents (except Reagan, who Bush only can come close to).
Sean Hannity does and has, all the time. On t.v. and radio. It's great. Especially this past week, he's been asking, almost every night, including last night, again, if the Rats he interviews are know of any Republican Senator or Congressman who is formerly a KKK member, and then tells them if there is, he would ask them "tonight" to resign.....there's nary a reply to that question.
Not surprising couldn't we say?
Kurds are not Americans. When maniacal Hutus hacked to death tens of thousands of Tutsis in Rwanda America didn't have a dog in that fight either.
Are you happy to learn that your government provided Hussien the materials, at U.S. taxpayer expense, to develop and deploy these weapons? Seems like more interventionism coming back to bite us in the ass. First we build these monsters, then we get to knock them down.
he's been funding the murder of American toddlers.
You'll need to explain that one a little better. The embargo we've placed on the Iraqi people (in an unsuccessful bid to get their dictator to bend to our will) has resulted in a massive increase in infant mortality rates. In the more than ten year period we've held sanctions in place over 500,000 Iraqi children have died that wouldn't have without the embargo in place. The Iraqi people are being made to suffer not only at the hands of Saddam, but the world at large. Do you think it hurts him when more children die before the age of 1 in Iraq? It's clear he doesn't care about his subjects, but we hurt them to pressure him?
American history, since 1900, is replete with wealthy families that have amassed huge fortunes as capitalists. As the founders died off, their idle rich offspring have turned to socialism. Houghton is one such. Many of the idle rich kids have turned to politics as the socially "in" thing to do. Houghton is one. Rockefellers, Kennedys, Fords and on and on.
Their idleness is filled with so called "public service", which can be translated as a lust for power.
Now, we are going to fight a war run by politicians. No war has ever been won by a political committee. Polling numbers were one of the major reasons we didn't get Saddam the first time around.
Who's the "limp"? Someone sticking to a workable solution against enormous opposition? Or a bunch of sheep following the political herds polling data?
No he won't. He shipped it off to Pennsylvania in George Gekas' district.
I kind of see Hostetller as a combination strict constructionalist like Scalia and somewhat of an isolationists in the model of Buchanan. I think both of those played a role in his descision.
Thank God I don't live in her district. Choosing between Morella and a 'RAT is like choosing between AIDS or Bubonic Plaque. Skipping the race isn't enough -- I'd cast a write-in vote for myself just to be able to vote AGAINST this socialist quack without having to vote Dem.
Same here. Illinois has at least one RINO Congressman, and that is Mark "the squish" Kirk. His American Conservative Union rating is a whooping 48% (which means our "Republican" votes with the 'RATs the MAJORITY of the time). Incredibly, his 'RAT opponent is so far left that he THINKS Kirk "rubber stamps the right-wing of his party"
RINO Kirk would love to betray the President once again, but his vote is decided by the latest polls. "The polls" show the public supports the President on this issue, so RINO boy cast his token "yes" vote.
I still don't trust him.
