I'd rather watch CNN than that woman.

Yes....for amusement to see that wretch Tucker Carlson pretend he is a conservative. He is so conservative, he has to tell people he is conservative.

That pissant makes Rhinos look good...if possible

"Why these rats continue to live in this country is a mystery."

It isn't really. They claim to like communist ideas, but just don't want to live in countrys that espouse them because thier lifestyle will take a turn for the worse. They are the epitome of hypocracy.

Showing viewers the weakness of liberal positions by quickly countering them, is a more effective way of presenting the conservative case than merely presenting it unopposed.

This is sage advice worth repeating...because it trascends this issue...its the cornerstone of all great endeavours...leadership...by having a solution instead of pointing out the problem all the time, your are a defacto leader...

In the real world, there are problems and those with solutions...people gravitate to problem solvers...and ride the wake...its human nature...

I am surprised that Ellen Ratner is still alive. On election night in 2000 she stated on Fox News on the air that if George Bush won the election she would walk up the Capitol steps and kill herself. Look for the archives, it is there.

How can the Feds "raise taxes" if they don't pay taxes?

Follow that thought through to conclusion...

Attn: Ellen Ratner

Miss Ratner:

I didn't see it but I have heard your words.

Regarding the upcoming war with Iraq, Brenda Buttner asked what you hope happens. Your response was:

"I hope he[Bush] messes it up, so he isn't re-elected."

My son-in-law will soon be boarding an aircraft for his third tour to the Gulf. Just what part of the war do you hope President Bush messes up? Do you hope that a plane crashes on deck and kills several sailors? Do you hope that the ship is hit by a torpedo and we lose a hundred of our sailors? Do you hope that Saddam Hussein uses poison gas as the Marines land and kills many of them? Do you hope a C-130 is hit with a missle and all aboard die?

Just what do you want to see messed up, Ms. Radner? Would it help your agenda if a nuke was sneaked into Washington, DC? How about biological weapons in the subways of New York? Or, how about this for a hoot --- a chemical attack inside an arena at an NBA game. Those would make you pretty happy. Bush would be blamed and your RAT party might have a chance in 2004. If Americans have to die, well, that is the price you are willing to pay.

My son-in-law and his shipmates will be risking their lives in a war zone to protect your right to stay stupid and bitter things. He is proud to do it, even though you clearly don't deserve it. You apparently want to see bad things happen to America because it will help your own agenda.

Shame on you. You are a worthless political whore.

Looking for a transcript to be posted. Congressman Billybob

Me to...and I got the Helen/Ellen memo...funny thing though...when I hold either name up to the mirror in this case, backwards it reads "Traitor Bitch"...

Poke her in the eye figuratively next time she is in range...

I can believe that she thinks like this. I find it hard to believe she was stupid enough to SAY it. Looking for a transcript to be posted.

Okay, here's a very brief transcript. The context was that Ellen was giving her predictions for '03. She said something about Bush, to which Brenda Butner said that he will be re-elected.

Following is a transcript of what came next:

RATNER: Unless he messes up the war -- I hope.
BUTNER: You hope?
RATNER: Well, I don't want him to be elected.

BigFisherman, you should be applauding FOX for giving her the airtime. Like Rush says, when the libs are out of power they get goofy! Let Ratner, Patty Murray, Pelosi, and hopefully Hitlery all say the stupid, insensitive, clueless things that make a Patriot's blood boil as often as they can display that arrogance!

If they keep their pie holes shut, Americans will NEVER know what the RATS think until it's too late.

Let them continue to make us sick and they'll continue to get buried in the voting booth.

I thought that this needed to be repeated, then translated:

Ratner A: "I hope he[Bush] messes it up, so he isn't re-elected."

Translation: I hope thousands of our military will die, so he isn't re-elected.

Kinda sounds like Patty Murray.

I wouldn't spit on them if they were on fire. Sorry.

It took the DemocRATic Party years to recover after they were perceived to be unsympathetic to the war effort in the Civil War. I think the party is about to suffer the same fate again.
