"RECALL" time in Cajunville

[Puppage]

....she is a RAT. That's what happened.

[xsmommy]

Ms. Landrieu now disavows her own ad and claims she never supported Mr. Estrada. Rather, she blames her Hispanic supporters, who, she says, "misinterpreted" her position, which was really one of "neutrality." But the final line of the ad reads: "An announcement paid for by friends of Mary Landrieu." Ms. Landrieu doesn't come up for re-election until 2008, by which time she no doubt hopes her act of political cynicism will have been forgotten

this is heinous.

[cerberus]

Just sit back and enjoy it.

The rats are in a death spiral.

They have made themselves totally irrelevant by their "fiddling" while the nation confronts the current crises.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Time for a little "outreach" action on the bayou.

[sausageseller]

she no doubt hopes her act of political cynicism will have been forgotten.

SS. And who says that the rats don't take their voters for granted?

[Marauder]

Can anyone name a trustworthy liberal democRat?

[jmaroneps37]

A rat by any other name always will smell the same. You have to give it to the rats thou, they know exactly how to play the lemmings.

[lawdude]

She is a demorat. Therefore, anything said can be retracted without fear of recriminations. In other words---

Dems lie without hesitation. ALWAYS. I would never trust a word from any dem leader's face. Always expect the opposite. They have no shame, no morals, no plans.

Trash, all of them.

[white trash redneck]

Who in their right mind would believe a DemocRAT politician's campaign promise???

[BerniesFriend]

I think it was G. Gordon Liddy who would say about clinton's voters.."SUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!"

I feel the same way about our own lying landrieu..anything to get elected..it still shames me our stupid state voted her back into the minority..sheesh

[OldPossum]

With a little bit of luck, maybe those Hondurans will be thinking about this when they pull those levers in the 2004 presidential election.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

The Honduran-born Mr. Estrada . . . is a superhero in the Honduran-American community. Think JFK in 1960.

Interesting. I had no idea JFK was a hero in the Honduran community.

[conservativecorner]

Typical dim-o-crapper bald face lie. Should we be surprised?

[finnman69]

L-I-A-R

[Romulus]

Sen. Landrieu's just following an old Louisiana tradition. After one election, Gov. Earl Long welshed on a campaign promise not to raise taxes. When a delegation of betrayed supporters showed up in Baton Rouge to protest, the Governor refused to see them. "What will I tell them?" asked a desperate aide. Long's immortal response: "Tell them I lied!"

[Alberta's Child]

Landrieu deserves credit for at least being pragmatic.

She knows that 99% of the @ssholes who voted for her would vote for her no matter what she does, so why bother keeping campaign promises?

[Dahoser]

"That was an issue for me in deciding how to vote," says Oscar Avila, an activist in the local Honduran community. The Senator's support for Mr. Estrada "led a lot of people here to vote for her. Now we feel betrayed."

Screw 'em! If that's the only reason they voted for her, too bad. Try voting for a set of ideas next time instead of a single issue.

What is looming is that while we're gleeful over this hurting the RATS, we're starting to play the same ethnicmindful games they play. What's going to happen when the next Hispanic comes along who is liberal and we oppose him, say a pro-choice RINO who mounts a primary challenge? All our public carping about RAT betrayal of Hispanics is going to come back to bite us big time in the behind.

At this point, we need to move off the ethnic routine and concentrate on the man, instead. The content of his character is far and away more important and worthy of support than his ethnicity. He has a tremendous amount going for him no matter if he were polka dot.

Dear President Bush,
With the Surpeme Court session getting ready to close, it may well be time for perhaps the most important domestic decision of your presidency: the appointment of a Supreme Court Justice(s). The main reason why I supported you in 2000 and why I wanted Daschle out of power in 02 (and 04) has to do with the courts. I want America courts to interpret law, not write law. During your presidential campaign you said Thomas and Scalia were your two model justices. Those are excellent models. The High Court needs more like them. Clarence Thomas recently said to students that the tough cases were when what he wanted to do was different from what the law said. And he goes by the law. This should be a model philosophy for our justices. Your father, President Bush lost his reelection campaign for 3 main reasosn, as far as I can see. 1. he broke the no new taxes pledge 2. David Souter 3. Clinton convinced people we were in a Bush recession (which we had already come out of by the time Clinton was getting sworn in)

I urge you to learn from all three of these: 1. on taxes, you're doing great. Awesome job on the tax cut. 2. good job so far on judicial appointments. I want to see more of a fight for Estrada, Owen, and Pickering, but I commend you on your nominations. 3. by staying engaged in the economic debate you'll serve yourself well

I have been thoroughly impressed with your handling of al Queida, Iraq, and terrorism. You have inspired confidence and have shown great leadership.

But I want to remind you that your Supreme Court pick(s) will be with us LONG after you have departed office. I urge you to avoid the tempation to find a "compromise" pick. Go for a Scalia or Thomas. Don't go for an O'Connor or Kennedy. To be specific, get someone who is pro-life. Roe v Wade is one of the worst court decisions I know of, and it's the perfect example of unrestrained judicial power.

I know the temptation will be tremendous on you to nominate a moderate. But remember who your true supporters are. I am not a important leader or politician. I am "simply" a citizen who has been an enthusiatic supporter of you. I am willing to accept compromise in many areas of government but I will watch your Court nomiantions extremely closely. What the Senate Dems are doing right now is disgusting, but as the President you have the bully pulpit to stop it. Democrats will back down if you turn up serious heat on them.

Moreover, I think public opinion is shifting towards the pro-life position. Dems will want you to nominate a moderate, but almost all will vote against you anyways. Pro-choice Repubs will likely still vote for you if you nominate a Scalia, after all, you campaigned on it. So Mr. President, I urge you to stick with your campaign statements and nominate justices who believe in judicial restraint, like Scalia and Thomas.

Happy Memorial Day and may God bless you and your family.
