CNN's Jack Cafferty rips Republicans for wasting time on gay marriage when country has so many other priorities and problems to address
"This is pure politics. If has nothing to do with whether or not you believe in gay marriage. It's blatant posturing by Republicans, who are increasingly desperate as the midterm elections approach. There's not a lot else to get people interested in voting on them, based on their record of the last five years.
But if you can appeal to the hatred, bigotry, or discrimination in some people, you might move them to the polls to vote against that big, bad gay married couple that one day might move in down the street."

WASHINGTON - President Bush on Saturday backed a resolution to amend the Constitution to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman even though the idea has little chance of being passed in the Senate. "Ages of experience have taught us that the commitment of a husband and a wife to love and to serve one another promotes the welfare of children and the stability of society," Bush said in his Saturday radio address. "Marriage cannot be cut off from its cultural, religious and natural roots without weakening this good influence on society."
Despicable!

Jack Cafferty is a very wise man.
He is the best thing about the Situation Room on CNN. I think that he should have Wolf Blitzer's job.
Well, I would like to hear Laura's take on this marriage thing now. Can she be paged at the Mayflower Hotel?
Calling Ms. Laura, calling Ms. Laura...
The Situation Room with Jack Cafferty is the only reason I watch CNN....
RE: Republicans/Gay marriage
This is the 21st Century, about time for Consenting Adults to be FREE from Witch Hunting Bigots.
Let's take a look at those who promote marriage values. Bush with Laura at the Mayflower Hotel. Porter Goss at the Hookergate. The dude running in Cal. with two wives and non child support payments. When all the names of those who attended the Hookergate sex/poker parties we'll see the real values these guys are talking about. The way things are going this Administration looks to dismantel all of the civil rights bill. Notice who this Administration as blocked add to Africa ever think that if the people weren't of color something might be done to help them. Wise up people we are better then that. We are all equal and when we work together we can't lose we must fight this axis of evil in the WH. I am an American born on this soil and my family has served America to keep it safe I am an American and I want my country back.
Jackie,
"..I am an American and I want my country back." YES! That is what we want. That is a great message for a banner.
Right on Jackie!!!
Is this how Democrats are hoping to win in November?

UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

If an election can turn on a sentence, this could be the one: “You don't need papers for voting.”
On Thursday night, Francine Busby, the Democratic candidate for the 50th Congressional District, was speaking before a largely Latino crowd in Escondido when she uttered those words. She said yesterday she simply misspoke.
But someone taped it and a recording began circulating yesterday. After she made that statement at the meeting, Busby immediately said: “You don't need to be a registered voter to help (the campaign).”
She said that subsequent statement was to clarify what she meant.
The recording, which was played yesterday on Roger Hedgecock's radio talk show, jolted the campaign.
Busby, a Cardiff school board member, is in a tight race with Republican Brian Bilbray, a congressman-turned-lobbyist, who has based his campaign on a tough anti-illegal-immigration stance. Busby has focused her campaign on ethics reform. The two are vying to replace Randy “Duke” Cunningham, who was jailed after pleading guilty to taking bribes.
Busby said she was invited to the forum at the Jocelyn Senior Center in Escondido by the leader of a local soccer league. Many of the 50 or so people there were Spanish speakers. Toward the end, a man in the audience asked in Spanish: “I want to help, but I don't have papers.”
It was translated and Busby replied: “Everybody can help, yeah, absolutely, you can all help. You don't need papers for voting, you don't need to be a registered voter to help.”
Bilbray said at worst, Busby was encouraging someone to vote illegally. At best, she was encouraging someone who is illegally in the country to work on her campaign.
“She's soliciting illegal aliens to campaign for her and it's on tape – this isn't exactly what you call the pinnacle of ethical campaign strategy,” Bilbray said. “I don't know how she shows her face.”
Laura wants a National HIV testing day and she probably wants George to be the first one to get tested!

Not one single lead - ergo, no shootings. The perfect crime has yet to be committed.
Everybody knows when the US and/or its allies strike Iran with nukes this summer, initiated and/or followed by a string of false flag terror attacks, there will be no elections. In the meantime, they can pander all they want.
When tomorrow all the things are gone,
We've worked for all our lives,
And the Right has saved the Nation,

Or perhaps to hear that Howard Scream
And make it go away.
And it's hard to be a Republican,
Where I thought my lunch was free.
And I won't forget the ones who lied,
And sold that crap to me.
And I'd give my tax cut if I could,
But my job moved to Bombay.
'Cause there ain't no doubt I bought the scam,
That screwed the USA.
From the words of Bill O'Reilly,
That I heard on my TV,
From Bob Novak, and Rush Limbaugh,
It all made sense to me.
Anyone who spoke against us,
Was playin' a dangerous game.
But now my country's become a laughing stock,
And the GOP's to blame.
And it's hard to be a Republican,
Where I thought my lunch was free.
And I won't forget the ones who lied,
And sold that crap to me.
And I'd take my vote back if I could,
Now my grandkids have to pay.
'Cause there ain't no doubt I bought the scam,
That screwed the USA.

Hey Ted, does Mary Jo ever cross your mind, you pompous ass?

For What? To feel your pain? What a sorry existence you must have to want Clinton back.
"And it's hard to be a Republican,

I don't know any Republicans that are looking for a free lunch. It's the Dem's who are always looking for a handout.
"Not one single lead - ergo, no shootings. The perfect crime has yet to be committed."
Are you sure about that?
Why so quick to cover up a crime committed that the world has evidence of?

Funny we have seen the evidence...
The truth is all around you neocons- nowhere to run, and you can forget the box.....
Its over buddy
In the 109th Congress, I once again introduced bipartisan legislation to expand federal law regarding hate crimes. My bill would add sexual orientation, gender, and disability to categories already covered under the existing anti-hate crimes statute.
I have represented Massachusetts in the United States Senate since I was first elected in 1962 to finish the term of my brother, President John F. Kennedy. Since then, I have been re-elected seven times, and I am now the second most senior member of the Senate.
Ted, was Mary Jo the only woman you left at the bottom of a body of water? The fact you are still in the Senate just shows how screwed up the electoral process really is.
You know, many of the GOP have a hell of lot nerve to hurt the gays! They need a check up from the neck up. Now, I am going be on a roll today. How quickly we forget about the man that is running for Congress on FAMILY VALUES and find out that he is a bigamist! A BIGAMIST, FOLKS! And he didn't pay child support either! They have more better fish to fry in their own party than attacking gays! And we do know that there are some GOP that are closet gays or have a dark secret in which they don't want the public know. I wonder if they will come out and say something!!! But, this is a demostration by many of the GOP to diminish gay rights and then civil rights, women's rights, disabilty rights, etc. But, I always say: be careful what you say and wish for. Because, those that are attacking the gays, we have no idea what is in their closet!

"Item: The purging of 70,000 African Americans from the Voter Roles in 2000 kept registered voters from casting their votes in the November 2000 Presidential Election. The 70,000 were classified as convicted felons on election computers. This was Choicepoint Software, still being used as of today to create a database on every American in the United States.
The 2004 Diebold-Ohio Script had two parallel programs. John Cohen Kerry agreed on the script in advance. Kerry and his bloodline extortion-friendly wife were paid a bribe in Silver Certificates from an Equatorial Guiana Mine later linked to a failed Coup run by British Intelligence and Margaret Thatcher and her drunken son.
Robert Kennedy Jr. knows about the bribe and plays dumb with noted anti-Gore Dickhead Tucker Carlson of MSNBC. He is one of Chris Matthews a.k.a. Tweedy-Bird, Hardball hotshots. Carlson's first job in journalism was with the Arkansas-Little Rock Gazette.
Question: Does he still have an account at the Bank of Mena, Arkansas?
Note: John Conyers (D. Mich.) has done nothing on overwhelming evidence of a criminal conspiracy to fix and steel the year 2000 U.S. Presidential Election, A.K.A. Choicepoint Software along with the criminal conspiracy involving Douglas Alexander, former U.K. Minister of E-Commerce, and Mega Mossad Mel Sembler, former U.S. Ambassador to Italy. Other players included Katherine Harris and Karen Hughes. Remember the June 2000 email to Alexander."

Why should we respect anyone who can't show a little respect in return? I have no respect for SPB or Legal Bar. SPB acts like a Junior High Schooler on this blog. Legal Bar makes threats against folks that have done nothing more than express an opinion in a much more civil way than anyone else on this blog. If it is a crime to write ones feelings in a civil manner on the blog of a public official then I say in the words of George Bush, "Bring it ON!!

If everyone is "free to act as they please" then I should fit right in. I'm acting exactly as I please.
Come again Al?
Nobody has ever done anything to you.
I believe you take the world too seriously.
In the end, you have insulted Biloxi, insulted past presidents, verbally harrassed in one form or another people here regardless of who.
You have done all this, and still expect sheer respect in return.
And I am here to give you an answer. You can not expect any respect returned, when you never truly give it.
I happen to think people are playing some games out there. You included, Al.
But the shameful way you treated Jackie and Jan brought you the very conclusion that is expected.
You have therefore done this to yourself, and no one else is to blame for how you were treated. Even if it was unfairly in your eye.

SPB seems to set the tone on this blog and it is not a tone of mutual respect. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. On this blog the Romans are rude and judgmental. Jan tried to establish some decorum on this site but was shouted down by others for daring to try to be civil to me. The tone was set long before I ever wrote my first word on this blog. I have only tried to uphold to what the leadership has put forth as acceptable behavior.

You continue to prove my point. You make my job easy. But that is ok, I can take it. I've come to expect such slurs from the so called "tolerant ones".
I'm sorry Al, but insulting people and calling them childish is not in any way a way to establish respective dialogue.
Also trying to defend things George Bush has done, insult Ted Kennedy, while interesting do not really add anything to the discussion here.
Perhaps you would be better suited for a political discussion forum or so on?
Also, using the word "brokeback" or "gay" over and over again is not a keen way to get attention.
If you are just joking with someone then that ought to be disclosed, as people have gotten quite a few emails from you.
I don't know if they appreciate getting drawn into your war-horse scenarios or diatribes.
Either way you might want to tone down on the rhetoric & speeches.
bluewild, I played that game with Jan and it got me nowhere and got her in deep doo doo with her fellow bloggers. I don't know that you have called me names but plenty have.

As for you, you are not tough.
You are a spineless GOP Fruitcake.
You are probably crying as you write your trash talk.
Legal Bar, I repeat ... your are clever by half. My comments are mild and tame compared to the rhetoric coming from SPB and now MR. Ha! Ha!.
Well, this has turned into a sad site today. See ya'll later ;)
The slurs continue, but I expect no less. The slurs just prove my point and make me look more civil.
I've never met a Liberal yet that when he/she runs out of anything substantial to say they start right into slurs and name calling. It must be in their genes.
I've never seen a neocon have anything substantial to say!!
Neocons only know how to insult and tell lies.
I'm guessing the "slurs" you refer to is they call you a neocon or crazy right wing fanatic?
Well, you may live up to that name the way you trash others who disagree with George Bush.
I think its okay to disagree, but not attack others who don't share your neocon viewpoint.
Like someone said, you attack Biloxi all the time. And you are attacking people on a site who don't like or agree with George Bush.
Perhaps thats why people suspect you, or don't want anything to do with you, since that commentary does not fit a site like this.
And perhaps we shall not know because of how you act. Apparently you do not understand the concept of others joking about George Bush, and making up comic strips in jest.
No matter. But name calling is not way to get your point across.

So now we are calling Kerry, Kennedy and Clinton liars too. There were scores and scores of liars then from all over the world. The narrow minded can blame only one man when there are hundreds to blame.
Well when you call him a brokeback weasel or start taking it too far, no one is aware of your intent or whether you are joking or not.
I think they are right to react to that, and you should find a better way to conduct yourself.

Hi Everyone,
Looks like you've all been busy today, feeding the troll.
Shame Shame Shame
If you refuse to respond to trolls in any way, eventually they shut up and go away. Their effectiveness is self limiting. They thrive on RESPONSE.
Withhold their food source so we can all go back to having fun.
Don't forget to write your Senators this weekend and express your views on the Marriage Protection Act.
Just my opinion, but there is way too much hate going on in D.C. and on this board.
It's being ruined for all of us.
This'll only end when the neocons are deported to poland, far as i'm concerned.
Or wherever they hail from.
Patriot Act was made for one reason=to protect Israel and other mideast nations.
All of our laws are worth nothing to them.
They seem to not care about reason, and label everything a lie or disinformation.
Forget it, I think they all need to be removed. Maybe sent to Africa, I heard the zar there got a new Afrikan nation that loves racists.
Tu El Au Revoi
Legal Bar, SPB seems to be hung up on the Gay thing, the "brokeback" thing. As a matter of fact a lot of the tolerant Bloggers here seemed to want to refer to Republicans as Gays, brokeback or other Gay connotations as though it is a desparaging reference. I'm confused, are you only tolerant of Liberal Gays or do Neocon Gays get your sympathy too? Is it a bad thing to be gay? Is that why my manhood is continually questioned?
It still amazes me that the GOP is so incredibly interested in everyone's sexuality. For some reason, they simply appear to "get off" about sex (perhaps they never have it?)
Why is someone's private sexual preference so interesting to these fat skanky old Republican dirtbags in Washington?
Gay people do pay taxes and make campaign contributions. They participate in our society and seem to be the "same" as everyone else.
Why is what people do in their own personal life SO interesting to these politicians? It's almost like a festering sore, a throwback to the Puritans.
Pretty soon we'll have Witch Hunts and witch burnings again.
All this emphasis on an individual's private sexual activities? Perhaps our politicians need a visit to their nearest psychiatrist to find out why they are SO fixated on sex in general?
This is not a healthy fixation for our country.
The neocon influence over the years fully explains, and rationalizes the fixation with homosexuality in this country.
Its not a pretty history, and its one the public lies in denial about.
Nevertheless it is there, and apparently all this talk about "gay" makes those like Al Rodgers uncomfortable.
Biloxi wasn't singling out gays in particular anyway. He was making a statement, that the GOP fixation on gays is a hypocrisy.
Since most of the GOP is filled with gays, to be trying to court voters over it is preposterous.
Now his point was well met, and perhaps those who were moving too fast...need to read him more carefully.
Thanks again, Sir Biloxi.
Does anyone know if there is any truth to this?
Fitzgerald probe: Sen. Clinton withdrew stolen funds from Grenada bank
Prosecutor in possession of documents, numbered bank accounts, trusts—and alleged film evidence of Senator Hillary Clinton withdrawing stolen U.S. Treasury funds from bank in Grenada as Fitzgerald probe expands to $742 billion theft
Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald is in possession of filmed evidence allegedly showing Senator Hillary Clinton entering Bank Crozier in the British territory of Grenada during early 2003 for the purpose of withdrawing stolen and laundered U.S. Treasury funds for alleged personal use after presenting the bank with CIA code numbers in her capacity as a U.S. senator, CIA operative and wife of a former president, according to a team of intelligence sources.
One source requesting anonymity told us that "competing teams" of fired intelligence agents and military, federal whistleblowers and patriotic government operatives committed to restoring the U.S. Constitution established private teams "to follow and track Senator Clinton for years" in an effort to validate the intelligence operative’s crimes with the kind of evidence presented to Mr. Fitzgerald.
Fran,
Wow! what is the link to that?
Fran,
There is much truth to that article, and some things that are exaggerated.
I can personally confirm this. However most ongoing investigations are classified.
That is a Grand Jury case that is being dealt with in the background.
Wow Fran that's really news about Hillary Clinton. I wonder if she was behind that CIA leak too. Thank goodness we have honest leaders like Bush/Rove/Cheney who would steal or lie. Most of the Dems are part of the Hookergate case. Abramoff/Duke Cunningham are innocent and should not go to jail. Most likely it was Bill Clinton is committed those crimes. Hillary is responsible for the NSA spying and invading Iraq. She ordered our troops to murder woman/children. Just ask Al Evil he knows the truth. We need to have a govenment run by all GOP. Bush is remain President and when he's tired give it to Jeb. Bush is right to abolish the civil rights bill. The country was built with slaves and we can do it again. Woman shouldn't have rights only men. African American should have to work for a master and be counted as one third of an animal. Look animals are worth more then minorities right Dr. Evil. If we could only let the south raise again and bring back things the way they were. Let's just wait and see how far this Administration goes before the end comes.
The GOP are so interested in American's Sex Lives because they're not getting any!
Well Jackie I didn't want to bring this up, but I am going to anyway.
The truth is we can pretty much wait for the end like you say, or wise up.
That conspiracy using the Talmud, Neocon Yiddish British folks is true.
It's always been true, the entire time.
Of course, the world has been in denial about it. But I thought you could handle knowing just how bad it really is.
Now let me just say one thing...the conspiracy has little to do with "Jews" as a whole and yet it does.
It has to do with satanists, a majority of today's neocons, or zionists, or whatever the politically "correct" term for them is.
The point is, the majority of them are polish and national russian immigrants. They are not just "Jews" and they are not just "Christians", so you can put the bigotry aside for once.
All they are is nothing more than a group of conspirators run by the United Kingdom, who we have been fighting since this country was founded.
Those fallen morally reprehensible neocons will destroy the world, if we don't call them out and let the fur fly.
There, as I said you are free to continue your life.
Jan: I don't take sides, evil is evil and non-partisan. I have chosen to be unaffiliated because it keeps my vision clearer. Here is a link

Pollster: Iraq war will hurt GOP in fall elections
By CHRIS CHRISTOFF
FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER
June 2, 2006
MACKINAC ISLAND – The war in Iraq has become so unpopular that it could cost Republicans control of Congress, statehouses and governor races around the country, national pollster John Zogby said Friday.
He said 70% of voters believe the U.S. is headed in the wrong direction, adding, “I have never seen a number like that since I’ve been polling.”
He said 68% of voters believe the war in Iraq wasn’t worth the loss of American lives. He added, “Americans want their wars to be won, they want it won quickly and their troops home and out of harms way.”
Sorry I meant Jackie. And I feel you were rude to me jackie. That tirade was uncalled for as all I did was ask if anyone could confirm the info.
Hillary Clinton is a bought off paid stooge for the neocons.
ha ha ha said...
The GOP are so interested in American's Sex Lives because they're not getting any!
6:41 PM
##########################
Well, look at that neocons and tell me...how much do ya think they had to pay those hookers??
SQ
I'm thinking that they had to pay those hookers some big bucks.
And afterward those hookers probably had to scrub themselves clean because They felt filthy.
After all, they (the hookers) were dealing with complete scum.
Was Porter Goss and Foggo connected to...

ha ha ha:
I started to write a couple comments in repsonse to your last post, however, I decided I had better not go there! I might get blocked for being a potty mouth! LOL
Wow, almost no one has a sense of humor today. First of all, let's thank the RCMP for bagging the bad guys in Canada:
Link
But, what is up with the last line of this article:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060603/us_nm/crime_canada_usa_dc
"U.S. Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke said on Saturday there were no plans to change the U.S. security posture following Saturday's arrests in Canada."
Does that mean they were already paying attention to bad guys in Canada, does that mean they will just continue to ignore them, or none of the above? I say let's keep the RCMP on it. It looks like they are doing their jobs.
I have to go back to work. My reports are not going to write themselves and the cat cannot write them either. Try to play nice, OK? Some of you scared Jan away already. I think she suffers from PTTS, Post-Tramatic Troll Syndrome.
Yes, it's all in fun, especially the RCMP link and the Troll things. :-)
Jose's relatives?
Legal Bar, S-Q and Ha ha ha are taking the blog to a whole new level. You should be so proud. Personally I think they should get a room.
Despicable!
Despicable!
Despicable!
Just Despicable!
Oh, lighten up Anon at 8:01 and E.
With the nonsense of S-Q and ha ha ha it is definitely hard to take this blog seriously. I bet Mr. Fitzgerald reads the mindless post of those two and says to himself, "there is always one or two in every crowd. No wonder we are losing the PR war".
So, Legal Bar and ha ha ha, which office do ya want to meet at?
Ya'll leave S-Q alone. So she's had a little fun- LIGHTEN UP FOLKS!
S-Q is a muched loved blogger here and has a great mind ;D
The Troll is just jealous that no one is attracted to him because he is just a foul troll that nobody wants!
GAG!!!
Thanks Jan! I have to go now but I'll be back later.
Hello folks!
I am back on the blog!
Now, let me address Al the roach!
Let me be blunt with you Al! I don't know how many Gerbil dollars that the GOP koolaid drinkers are paying you but I, Fitz, and the DOJ office have a job to do! I don't know if the planet Mars kick your butt out and you landed here on earth but the DOJ office is hear to fight for justice. I don't know about Fitz' office but in my office, you are the joke in my office! We have a ritual in my office with colleagues that we look at Fitz's blog in the morning before we start work. Co-workers are not allowed to make comments during working hours. I make comments throughout the day because Fitz ask me to. But, you are the joke for sure. And I wasn't drunk last night because my family members thought you were a joke after reading your comments last night on the blog that I showed them! So, you go ahead and keep trying to trash this blog because it ain't working.. And Al, you're doing a "heckvajob" being the comedy central joke on the blog!
Thanks legal bar!
Cheers!
"The Troll is just jealous that no one is attracted to him because he is just a foul troll that nobody wants!
GAG!!!"
I didn't realize this was a pick up site for lonely Liberals. I'm sure ha ha ha and S-Q make a lovely couple.
Folks,
Finally another journalist is paying attention calling a spade a spade regarding Fitzgerald's case against the smurf Libby. Here we go:
As reported by Josh Marshall’s TPMmuckraker
"Critics of this prosecution, including many of our trolls, who denigrate Fitzgerald’s case because he didn’t indict Libby for espionage or an IIPA crime, got their smack down today. Fitzgerald is making sure not to overreach and is only trying to convict Libby on what he can prove Libby actually did. By trying to expand this case into a national security and conspiracy case, where the White House can kill the prosecution by refusing to grant access to confidential information, Libby’s team gambled and lost today. All Fitzgerald has to prove is that Libby intentionally lied to the FBI and the grand jury. This will now force Libby to claim that he only did it under orders, which then drags the White House in through the back door rather than the front."
http://www.theleftcoaster.com/
Plea bargain for the smurf is too little too late!
I am sorry, all work and not enough play is making me snarky. On this thing:
"Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald is in possession of filmed evidence allegedly showing Senator Hillary Clinton . . . [cut] . . . after presenting the bank with CIA code numbers in her capacity as a U.S. senator, CIA operative and wife of a former president, according to a team of intelligence sources."
Here comes the snark:
Umm, would that investigation be for Hillary getting the money out or for WHO OUTED her as a CIA agent? >;-)
Oh, in regards to the background of Goss, well, folks in the CIA back in the late 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s were certainly not playing tiddly winks. If my memory from the 1970s works properly, Dirty Tricks were going on until Congress got all bent out of shape because thought they should be told more about what CIA was doing. I believe Congress and lots of Americans could not stomach the stories that started coming out, so Congress made changes to how the CIA could do its job.
This is why I like this blog so much. Someone will tell me if my memory is not working right today. ;-)
anon all your insults back to you..
you don't researh well or you would know that all the the rich farmers and your friends get the most on the dole in theis nation...
get real...
"As reported by Josh Marshall’s TPMmuckraker. . ."
Well, duh. OK, now I am just getting naughty, so I am signing out and going to listen to Ozzy's "Perry Mason" song.
:-)
I just finished the first prototype roll of rainbow print foil if anyone is interested. Ken Mehlman are you out there?
"If I only had a heart...."
Al Rogers & Ken Mehlman FOREVER
It is a Brokeback Moment that really reeks!
SQ -
Whew! Were we 110 or 112 today?
Did you all note that unless you address our troll directly, he has no ground to grab hold of?
It's easy to circumvent their interference, simply ignore them and no matter how much you are baited, refuse to respond and stay on topic!
RE: Hilary
Hadn't heard any of that, but let's watch and see what happens. If it's in a GJ, it will definitely come out at the appropriate time.
On the other hand, The Shrub is looking pretty haggard these days. Descending into the pit of Hate Politics is going to age him even more. Seems like when you participate in evil, you become a part of it.
It is my hope that our countrymen/women will chose to take the high road and not go down the Hate Path. We've written to both of our Senators with a request they vote against the Marriage Protection Act (we don't need protection thank you). What a total WASTE of time.
My earlier comment re: the Thugs fixation with SEX, was not directed to homosexual sexual relations specifically. It appears the Rapturers are fixated with EVERYONE'S sex life and birth control practices.
Save A Life: Ignore a Troll Today and Keep Them Away!
SPB: I'm sorry the troll is being so nasty, but if you talk "around" it, and not acknowledge the provocation, it will take it's toys and go somewhere else.
Happy Weekend everyone!!

"But if you talk "around" it, and not acknowledge the provocation, it will take it's toys and go somewhere else." The troll is hear to stay until Fitz indicts the people who is paying the troll Gerbil money to berate this blog. But, he is the joke in my office. and we do have a laugh and we moved on. So, I'm not offended by his comments. I cannot wait for the day in which Fitz indicts all of the knuckleheads and then the troll can take his toys, his leftover Gerbil money, go back to the unemployment office, and call it a day! You have a wonderful evening, Basheert!
It is hard to ignore a Troll. You can only do it for so long and then you break down under the pressure of the Troll. Trolls rule.
What is the going rate for a Troll?
"What is the going rate for a Troll?"
Wow if people wern't dying while I typed this, that would be funny...
basheert:
It was very hot today and tomorrow (Sunday) and Monday are supposed to be hotter! I think my thermometer currently reads 104, and that is under the covered patio! Both my air conditioning units are running...
RE: Kyl
I think Pederson is going to win this one, what do you think?
Poor S-Q, I forgot, you're baking over ther :(
Jan,
I am either in air conditioning or in my pool.
We have a saying down here, "we don't have to scrape the sunshine off our windshield!" LOL
Hello Jackie,
Do you know what "Closed under CIS"
means? (It's typed under the docket entry on a civil case I'm researching)
Thanks in anticipation :-)
cab
Where I live it gets that way. One year we counted what I think were 40 in a row that were 100 and above- boy, that was some hard living- but the winters are two thumbs up! I once lived one whole winter in Chicago and never want to again.
The winters down here are the best! It's usually 60-70 and sunny. I LOVE the winters here! :)
Perhaps this trolling guide will be of use:
http://www.flayme.com/troll/
Fran,
Thanks, that site is great ;D
Wow, after reading the "How can troll posts be recognised?" All I could think of was how Rush sounds on the radio. Rush is the king of trolls!
Fran,
I went to troll website that you mention.. Hmmm.. Made sense to me.
Let's see: under the catagory of "Repetition": I am called a "weasel" by the troll, I give "bs" and the anti-tiresome Clinton articles.
And under the catagory of "Missing The Point," well, there you go. every comment from the troll is always missing the point!
What I want to know is there are Troll 101 class that they give? it seems like certain trolls on certain websites and blogs are really trained to the T!
Final posting:
From Thinkprogress:
Resume padding in the White House?
"Greg Sargent uncovers persuasive evidence that the President’s new domestic policy advisor, Karl Zinsmeister, falsely claimed he “founded” the American Enterprise magazine."
There is more:
KARL ZINSMEISTER SIMPLY REVAMPED ENTERPRISE MAGAZINE -- BUT DID HE REALLY FOUND IT? OK, as best as I can determine, Karl Zinsmeister didn't found the American Enterprise magazine. He revamped it. Would this be the biggest whopper ever told? No. But if true it's resume-padding nonetheless.
As I noted below, a White House press release announcing Zinsmeister's appointment as chief domestic policy adviser described Zinsmeister's chief career accomplishment as follows: "Mr. Zinsmeister is Editor-in-Chief of The American Enterprise magazine, a national publication he founded twelve years ago that specializes in politics, business, and culture." (Emphasis added.) Media reports also described him as such. And Zinsmeister's own bio page strongly suggests he did, too (though it's careful to use the weasel word "formulated").
But the claim appears to be misleading, and may even border on an outright falsehood. Take a look at this, from the 1994 Washington Times:
Copyright 1994 News World Communications, Inc.
The Washington Times
December 17, 1994, Saturday, Final Edition
SECTION: Part B; SATURDAY; THE MAG TRADE; Pg. B4
LENGTH: 917 words
HEADLINE: An Enterprising new look; Brock calls book a crock
BYLINE: Cynthia Grenier; THE WASHINGTON TIMES
BODY:
Do we ever have reading for you this week. In fact, just two magazines alone - the sparkling, truly zippy new version of American Enterprise and the January American Spectator with 40 pages worth of David Brock's dazzling dismantling of the two Wall Street Journal women's book on the Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill case - can effortlessly take up all your spare reading for the week.
Not that we don't have a few other print temptations to offer. Talk about serendipity. Beautifully if inadvertently timed with the November Republican victory, the distinguished conservative think tank, the American Enterprise Institute, this week launched a totally revamped, high-powered wow of its bimonthly magazine. Under the stylish and innovative editorship of Karl Zinsmeister, American Enterprise aims at reaching out to the American people, to bringing the grass-roots folks back into the political process.
Says Mr. Zinsmeister, "We'd like to think the magazine's going to be of as much interest to an intelligent dentist in Omaha as to denizens of the Beltway." (Emphasis added.)

Have a good evening folks! Signing off!
SPB:
Yes it IS hot here, but the humidity hangs around 2% so it sounds a lot worse than it is. We turned the aerator on in the pool - I spent several hours this afternoon reviving 2 tiny bunnies that had gotten into the pool. Even though it's really hot, they get hypothermic really quickly so we wrapped them in towels and held them while they trembled until they were dry. One was pretty ok when we fished him out, the other one was almost dead...
But happily I have reunited them underneath the jojoba tree with fresh lettuce and a couple of chopped up grapes.
My good deed for the day. These things will fit in the palm of your hand, and I figured I had to give it a try.
Even the wildlife suffers when it gets so hot, they try to get water from the pools.
RE: rolls
SPB: I do agree with you, however it seems counterproductive to respond to them if you know they are just baiting to cause trouble.
Somehow I don't see the point.
But I believe the trolls are more and more frequently approaching panic mode as Chimpy McFlightsuit is seen by more and more individuals as a War Criminal, a Traitor and a psychotic.
Luckily and hopefully Cheney will drop dead soon - rumsfeld is also approaching the "death zone" of old age and obvious senility. And since Chimpy's brain is fried from all those substances, he's probably going to spend his elder years in an institution couting nails on the wall while his wife and Condisleezy-on-Rice go off into the sunset together.
Hang in there guys, evil will not win. Even Jack the Ripper and Adolph Hitler ended up dead. Life has a wonderful way of catching up with all of us, including the dirtbags.
SPB:
You SCARED me. I reread your last post and thought you said "Resume Paddling in the White House".
Although I'm sure there's some Congresspeople and Senators that enjoy a bit of the S&M stuff. According to what I read - these guys can't get enough of any kind of perversion...
Now, are you saying "we" are against sexual play and such... Now, come on ;D. Let's not judge "sex" here. I do not think that would be a wise "position" to take in our debate with "them". Before "we" know it, "we" will be the very people "they" are pretending to be and that would be no fun.
Hey,
"Resume padding in the White House? "
The is the title of the article by Thinkprogress not me! I don't know what you folks are thinking about. but it is not certainly not THAT! Be careful, folks! My lady friend views this blog and my comments. If she smells an inkling of a dirty mind from me, my clothes will on the front lawn like yesterday's laundry and I will be in the doghouse! Shhhh!
Basheert, here in Illinois the King of the S&M Pervs ran for senator but enough of us would not stand for it so the Republicans had to find someone else:
Jack Ryan CNN Story
I won a bet--About two months before that story came out, I told a friend that I suspected that creep was hiding something. Every time I saw him, I got really bad vibes; he made my skin crawl.
Jackie--I have another category of well-dressed men, the ones that give me the creeps. Jack Ryan fit that category and if you do a Google image search for "Jack Ryan" + senate, a bunch of pictures with him wearing expensive-looking suits pops up. Put a pig in a nice suit, and what do you get? A pig in a nice suit.
"If she smells an inkling of a dirty mind from me, my clothes will [be] on the front lawn like yesterday's laundry and I will be in the doghouse!"
So SPB, do you have a Jaguar like Goss that she can torch along with your clothes? >;-)

The Trolling Guide recommends weed killer. I suggest we try it.
D
Folks,
Can we all please carry on a decent conversation on this blog without resulting to obcenities? Please use the English language correctly, or better yet, go back to college and retake an english comp class to re-educate yourself on how to compose correct grammer. This is getting ridiculous.
All others who don't seem to have this problem.... carry on.
Thanks.

"So SPB, do you have a Jaguar like Goss that she can torch along with your clothes?" I wouldn't be caught dead with a Jaguar Night Owl. They don't pay that much at the DOJ for a Jaguar! If I owned a Jaguar, my lady friend would take off with that car and I would never see her. Torch my clothes?? I know what movie that you are referring to. My girl would most likely sell my clothes, car, golf clubs, and underwear for a $1.00!
Hmmmmm, I would rethink the girl... or her you.
Well, you know that old saying, Night Owl: it's cheaper to keep her! My girl's name is certainly not Angela Bassett for sure... going to bed now. I just finished my article.. Later...
"Luckily and hopefully Cheney will drop dead soon"
Don't you bet yer sweet bippy lady.
Trolls do it for the love of it. They just love spreading the truth in a sea of BS.
grandmanuk, the GJ is probably surfing the net like most of Mr. Fitzpatrick's staff. Seems that business is slow leaving plenty of time to blog and pick on innocent trolls. One indictment for a bad memory and little else to show for years of work or is it play?
I hope at the close of Mr. Fitzgerald's investigation that his staff will be investigated and required to repay the taxpayers for time spent surfing the net on the taxpayers dime.
What time is is?
Hmm, is it Sunday morning or Monday morning? Am I supposed to be at work? Oh yeah, I'm SALARIED, which means I do not get paid for overtime or working strange hours.
Too bad I do not have a factory job, otherwise I would have been done at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. . . Oh yeah, big corporations sold out our workers to keep their stockholders happy years ago and most of those jobs went overseas.
Yes I know I should be in church right now . . .
Shannen Rossmiller is back in the news again:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13055979/
She works for free so she can be 'outed.' Her tactics were made public years ago but I guess not enough bad guys caught on because she is still at it.
Fran, thank you for the trollswatter link. I'm reposting it here because the information and ideas are really helpful:
http://www.flayme.com/troll/
Basically it's stuff we all know about dealing with bullies and worse, but the reminders and advice are good.
Desert, you are welcome.
I read where the airlines are taking away free peanuts on the flights...next thing you know they'll be installing pay toilets and we'll have to pay to join the mile high club. Isn't that prostitution? Let's ask someone in D.C. lol
Never feed a Troll.
Fran thanks!!
One never knows what information might be useful to someone here. A few weeks ago Jan (I think???) griped about getting groped at the airport, so I remembered to think about my clothing choices (only to get it for forgetting I had a safety pin).
Lots of people are allergic to peanuts. But I have a flight on Air Canada coming up soon and those cheapskates charge for *everything*. Who do they think they are, Aeroflot?? Thanks! I will remember to bring my own food.
;-)
Anyone that would dare hold a differing opinion than yours is a Troll.
If Hitler were alive today and had a blog I would be called a Troll by his followers.
If SPB and Legal Bar had their way book burning would be legal.
Most bloggers here think George Bush is more evil than Sadaam, Go Figure.
"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."

Good Article. Glad to see Fitz has help.
Bush's legal challenges
By Charlie Savage, Globe Staff | June 4, 2006
WASHINGTON -- The board of governors of the American Bar Association voted unanimously yesterday to investigate whether President Bush has exceeded his constitutional authority in reserving the right to ignore more than 750 laws that have been enacted since he took office.

Looks like we have done it again. Let the trolls ruin another thread. One thing we have to learn is to control our emotions. When somebody attacks and insults you, just walk away. If you get angry and hurt, these negative emotions will feed the troll, and when you start defending yourself and attack back, you let the troll pull you down to his level.
Just like with 9/11, if no counter-attack had been done, Americans would still have the sympathy from the whole world. But we "had to" attack back and kill so many more innocent people and be doing the very same thing because of hate. Let God take care of the evil-doers in his own way. Ignore them no matter how insulting they are. This is a lesson we all have to learn, to put our ego on the back burner, not to blow up but to keep our calm in the midst of the storm. Just keep the focus on where WE want to go. Let's try it on the next thread.
D
I so, so very much agree with you, D.
New Thread Please.
Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening folks:
Happy Sunday!
Well, I can see there so much love on this blog today! New thread please!
Update:
Fran - I don't know if you have seen this one yet from WMR - F
June 4, 2006 -- More on George W. Bush's "Sanctity of Marriage" gay
marriage constitutional ban.
George W. Bush's marital problems have just taken another turn for the
worse. Apparently, Mr. Bush has not only engaged in an extra-marital
affair with a member of the opposite sex who is also a senior member
of his Cabinet, but also a member of the same sex. WMR received the
following release this morning from Leola McConnell, Democratic
candidate for Governor of Nevada (who has been endorsed by WMR).
McConnell is a one-time professional dominatrix.
"President Bush's speech to the nation Monday. If he doesn't say he's
a gay American or at the least a bisexual one then he shouldn't be
making one at all. And the notion that it would be in regards to
writing bigotry into our nation's Constitution is reprehensible. Too
bad it isn't me doing the rebuttal because in 1984, I watched him
perform (with the enthusiasm of homosexual male who had done this many
times before) a homosexual act on another man, namely Victor Ashe.
Victor Ashe is the current Ambassador to the nation of Poland who
should also come out like former Governor McGreevey of New Jersey and
admit to being a gay American. Other homo-erotic acts were also
performed by then private citizen George Bush because I performed one
of them on him personally.
I am the woman this website (bushssecretlifein84.tripod.com) speaks of
that has been posted on the net nearly two years now. None of this
would be the business of anyone but President Bush's little ruse to
save his failed presidency by using DOMA [Defense of Marriage Act] to
divide Americans one from the other has to be exposed as the act of a
desperate closeted homosexual man. The only crime in being GLBT is in
the hiding. The President needs to come clean with the American people
about his own past sexual behavior before he tries to besmirch the
humanity of people in search of sincerely committing to the same bonds
of matrimony he's afforded. He violated his own vows of monogamy
having a homosexual affair with a long time family friend of whom his
wife had no knowledge. His hypocrisy seems to know no bounds.
I had planned to run for governor of Nevada without going into any of
this but his planned nationally televised address to the nation makes
it necessary for me to address his attempt at division in as public a
way as he picked to try this Bushification of reality regarding same
sex marriages.
Sincerely,
Leola McConnell
Liberal Democratic candidate for Governor of Nevada"

NYT: Feds Investigating Lewis "Gatekeeper," "Queen of Earmarks"
By Paul Kiel - June 3, 2006, 4:00 PM
More details on the Lewis investigation.
"Last week, Justin reported on Rep. Jerry Lewis's (R-CA) top aide at the House Appropriations Committee, Letitia White. The FBI's investigation of Lewis is reportedly revolving around Lewis' very close ties to lobbyist Bill Lowery, and Letitia White was one of a few aides who moved from Lewis's office to Lowery's. As Justin pointed out, she was flown to Italy for a 10-day all-expenses-paid trip by a defense contractor while with Lewis; a couple months thereafter, she left the Hill and registered to lobby for the company with Lowery's firm."

And More....
The Truth about George W. Bush
Here you will find out the little known truth concerning President George W. Bush, Victor Ashe, the current American ambassador to Poland (formerly mayor of Knoxville, Tennessee and Exec. V.P.; C.F.O. of Fannie Mae), and their adulterous-bisexual relationship with a Las Vegas woman in 1984.
This situation took place in 1984 in the State of Tennessee. It concerns a 41 year old woman [currently residing in Las Vegas], Victor Ashe and George Bush's encounter in 1984 during the senate debates between Al Gore, Jr., Victor Ashe and Ed McAteer. She was invited to come to Tennessee by Victor Ashe. While attending one of these debates she spoke briefly with Ed McAteer (Senatorial candidate in 1984 who debated alongside Al Gore, Jr. and Victor Ashe, and was responsible in part for the emergence of the Religious Right).
Members of the mainstream media (CNN, FOX/news, Chicago Tribune) have known about this Las Vegas woman [well known in the BDSM underground] since September of 2003 yet they have done little if anything to get to the bottom of it. Like Bush's national guard service records they've given him a free pass concerning the what, where and when of his participation in the Texas Air National Guard.
We believe if the whereabouts and war-time behavior of Senator Kerry during his tour in Vietnam in the early 70's are matters of importance to the American people [according to Sinclair Broadcasting and Swift Boat Vets for Truth] then the past behavior of this President and his involvement in a homosexual situation with another man in the mid 80's is of equal importance.
When this Las Vegas woman told us about her conversation with Ed McAteer we thought it was something that should be looked into. He was being treated for cancer so we had to move quickly to open a dialogue. We believed obtaining a death bed declaration [if it came down to that] of a man of Ed McAteer's stature in the Christian community [he was called the Godfather of the Religious Right] would have held tremendous weight. Ed [finally] coming forward to say what he witnessed or knew concerning this matter would have been unimpeachable. Ed was a staunch supporter of the state of Israel and quietly lobbied for the post of U.S. ambassador to Israel back in 2001 but was turned down for the position by none other than George W. Bush. It seems in George W. Bush's isolated bubble, ambassadorships are rewards set aside for friends and lovers only.
We initially contacted Mr. McAteer back in May of this year. He mentioned at that time Victor Ashe's sexual shenanigans were no secret in Tennessee. He seemed resentful of his party's choice to back a 'sodomite' which is why he ran as an independent. Ed was on chemotherapy and it was extremely difficult for him to talk so we deferred until late August at which time his wife [Faye] informed us he wanted to talk further but was under doctors orders to refrain from all strenuous activity. Sadly, Ed McAteer passed away on Oct. 5, 2004, before we could do a follow-up interview, he was 78. For Ed's sake [and that of his family] we hope his departure was natural [God's will], however, the timing of it all seems rather untimely in our opinion. It bares looking into by the Tennessee authorities.
When he passed way another writer contacted Faye and she imparted to him that Ed seemed upset upon returning from the debate in Chattanooga back in 1984. Was Ed aware of Victor Ashe and George W. Bush's bisexual behavior? Perhaps that is what upset him so.
Unfortunately he didn't get the chance to tell us what he witnessed that night that upset him or if he remembered talking with the Las Vegas woman.
The Las Vegas woman was paid $15,000 to arrange sexual liaisons involving bisexual men for George W. Bush (then private citizen) and Victor Ashe (then a Tennessee State Senator). These adulterous bisexual affairs (3 encounters in all-3 different cities) took place in the state of Tennessee during the 1984 senate debates between, Al Gore, Jr., Victor Ashe and Ed McAteer. An African-American woman was invited to participate in this adulterous sexual encounter with George W. Bush and Victor Ashe immediately following the Chattanooga senatorial debate. This woman was paid $1,500. A few years later the Las Vegas woman was detained in Washington D.C. with Victor Ashe by the Metro D.C. police. She was released but Victor was taken into custody.
So confident was this woman that Ed would have remembered her [and their meeting] she had finally come forward and was prepared to tell it all. She will swear to the authenticity of what is being imparted here, which is the reason that we built this website so we could get this information out to you.
Bush & Co. will no doubt tell the world she's insane, politically motivated thus concocting this for smear reasons. She is of sound mind and body and welcomes all inquires from the mainstream media. This woman deeply laments not having come forward back in 2000 when then Governor Bush was running for the highest office in the land against [ironically] Vice President Al Gore, Jr.
Disclosure of George W. Bush's adulterous bisexual behavior will only happen if the American public demand answers. Contact your local news organizations demanding that this truth be revealed and not go the way of his Texas Air National Guard records.

Again with the trolls - IGNORE them. They add nothing and divert from current discussions. If you respond, they consider that validation of their egos.
Sad pitiful little trolls that can only hide behind anonymity.
By the way, on that track, we've got a couple of anonymizer programs - they're slick! If any of you are concerned about receiving tons of spam and popups, and track backs from websites you choose to visit, these work great.
They do slow down your computer a little bit.
Other than that - another really HOT Sunday in the desert. We broke the record at 112 yesterday and 112 again today.
I see that McCain has decided to vote AGAINST the anti-gay-marriage act. Perhaps he sees it for the political pandering to the Rapturers that it is?
Re: Bush/Bushette
I believe that like Hilary, Laura Bush made her peace with herself. She is not a stupid woman, however the marriage is some type of tradeoff for her. Even an abusive relationship is difficult to extract yourself from. Although I don't believe that's the case in this situation, I believe she is stuck in a situation of her own making.
In many ways I feel sorry for her. The Bush family is an incredible batch of nasty sickos in all facets. From Babs to Pappy...and on to Jeb (with his non-white wife)..on down the line. Bush is an alcoholic and the twins are headed in that direction with several alcohol offenses under the belt already.
That dynasty needs tubal ligation and vasectomy en masse. Come to think of it, maybe this country doesn't need dynasties?
Clean house in November. While we still have a house to clean.
Just my humble Sunday am opinions.
Save A Life: Starve a Troll
Biloxi, looks like you had a birthday . . . hope it was fun w/lots of pretzels and mustard.
It makes me sick that politicans keep throwing out hot-button issues to distract us from the important stuff AND that we keep falling for it! "Flag burning! Gay marriage! Immigrants! It's the end of the world!"
How is it that so many people allow themselves to be whipped into a frenzy over this crap when we have real problems to solve?
I am discouraged today.
Non-white wife? Explain please.
From FireDogLake ... this is a fantastic read. Hope springs eternal:

Here is the link to the story about Victor Ashe, no clue as to its accuracy - I doubt Bush is gay, but no question in my mind he's "bisexual" - probably likes beasts too:

Right on Time....
Perhaps you misunderstood me. I was looking for leads verifying that shots had been fired in the Rayburn House Garage. Tom Flocco alleges to a shootout of astronomical proportions, where eliminating the resulting evidence - bodies, holes, blood, prints, damaged cars, walls, ceilings, floors, shells, dust, air analysis, filters,...thousands upon thousands of things that would indicate anything other than cars coming, going and parking. I found no such data. I wasn't looking beyond a possible shooting. And your links make no sense to this.

Sorry, it appears that Jeb Bush's wife is Mexican:
Bush met his wife, Columba, while teaching English in Leon, Guanajato, Mexico in 1971. (Columba was born in Leon in 1954.) The two were were married on 23 February 1974, shortly after Bush graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in Latin American Affairs. They have three children: George (known as George P., b. 1976), Noelle (b. 1977) and John (known as Jebby, b. 1983)... Bush's children have had a few well-publicized scrapes with the law: in 2002 Noelle was arrested for prescription drug fraud, and in 2005 Jebby was arrested for public intoxication.
I'm not an export on Tom Flocco except a lot of the other blog sites do not consider his information with a great deal of credibility.
There is a fair amount of cross posting on the big well known blogs and Flocco appears to be considered "fluff".
Again, I'm not an expert just passing on what I've been told.
Good morning everyone
Looks like now that the GOP got the draft passed we are ready with Dick Cheney's plan to attack Iran.
We will go it alone but this way big business still gets to rob the US Treasury. Iran is aware of what the plan is and I'm sure they have a plan too. Cheney isn't as smart as he thinks he is. Let's see we invaded Iraq based on lies now we have our troops murdering innocent woman/children. We will again bomb a country (Iran) because we don't want them to make bommbs. More groups are protecting the invasions of muslin countries for what ever reason and kill at will. This is a true example of what Bush calls American Democracy. Saddam is on trial for killing innocent people the US killing innocent people then gives the families $2500 dollars for each dead person. We say sorry let's move on until we do it again. Now who's on trial for murder again. We kill no trial the President of Iraq kills he's on trial. The puppet President is following the orders of his true leader the man who is in control of Iraq that person is President Dick Cheney with VP Rummy.
Good Morning, Miss Jackie...well said.
Makes you wonder about Rummy's death squads in Iraq that keep the conflicts moving right along...must keep the war going on to keep the troops there and bases being built. Wonder how many innocent people die from both sides from these death squads?
Greed and power. Insanity.
Jackie,
Do you have any hope any of this could turn around, and if so how?
Anon sorry I missed your question Closed under CIS. CIS is Competitive Impact Statement which is published with the case it involves. When it says closed you have to look in closed files for the findings. Remember most cases are on a time line and open cases are readly availble yet you have to research any case that's closed.
I really don't understand what Jeb's wife being Mexican has to do with anything...loyalty and what you can do for them is probably what matters most to the Bush clan.
This very thread of Mr. Fitzgerald's carried a very important message, I thought.
Jan
When you've lived as long as I have you see the same story just up dated to modern times. As to your question I see the fall as these guys lies and tricks come to light. Remember their not the mob. The Cheney group as paid people to do things, keep quit and roll over. No one ever has enough money so they will have to keep paying or people talk. Notice when people are near death they want to tell the truth. And you have those who follow the leader as leaderships change so do the followers. Now you see how many people are writting books. Americans who eat steak don't want to eat hamburger. So if they have some secrets they will talk unless their paid. Notice Abramoff/Duke are talking because they ate steak and now for 8 years or more they will have oatmeal. Their talking because the people their protecting aren't helping them. So in short history always repeats itself. Cheney stold his empire from a weaken big fish, a young big fish will take what Cheney has now that he is weaken. I loved reading about Howard Hughes as Bush Senior took his oil company just as Hughes got sick. Oh I forgot a young attorney will find away to recover the money that Cheney stole from the United States taxpayers too. Overseas bank accounts will be released when they find out how these guys stole the money.
Trolls have feelings too. Take a Troll to lunch this week. Invite one home to meet the family. Let there be love and peace throughout the world. Just Imagine how it would be if you just gave a Troll a hug.
Teak The Bush family never said they had a mexican family member until George Bush ran for Governor of Texas. All the family photo's or dinner Jeb's family wasn't invited. When George ran for Governor he need spanish votes so the family introduced Jeb's family for support and to speak the langage. This continued in 2000 elected as Jeb's kids were on MTV and campaigning for GW. Jeb's wife is an alcoholic so she was only in the picture never speaking. During the 2000 election news came out that Jeb was having an affair with Kathreen Harris, they admitted to it. As Jeb said his wife was had an alcoholic sickness. Now you see why the spanish vote was important and how the family was used. Jeb's son was caught driving drunk and the family cut him off, the daughter was caught three time with alcohol and drugs she was cut off. The family doesn't speak of Jeb's family only when needed. This past Mother's day for Barbara CNN showed the family photo and none of Jeb's family were in it but Connie was. That's why people speak of how Bush used spanish voters. Oh Kathreen Harris and Jeb broke up their relationship he now dates an employee of the State government.
"He violated his own vows of monogamy
having a homosexual affair with a long time family friend of whom his
wife had no knowledge."
Dubya and Ken Lay? Just form a mental picture of this!
Yes, go ahead, do it.
Jackie,
Thank you. I always appreciate your staight shooting words- they terrify and comfort me all at the same time.
Jan you just have to keep in mind the things that are happening now happen before. I guess it's that we never learn or we tried to do it again still failing. I thought Nixon was never going to get caught he was the King and he knew it. His team would lie/die for him. But it was a lonely security guard, two journalist and men with a conscious that brought the King down. Evil will never win. Men will try again and again but a higher power controls in the end. Yes we pay for those mistakes as we should. If a child does something wrong you teach him/her as not to make the same mistake. The force of evil can still take over as that child when grown thinks they have a better way to be corrupt. Nixon's plan was used by his students who thought they could do it better then he did and as you will see they will find the same results. But again we will pay for letting it happen again.
Jackie,
"But again we will pay for letting it happen again."
That is the the dig dirty trick isn't it? ...
"The consciousness of being at war, and therefore in danger, makes handing-over of all power to a small caste seem the natural, unavoidable condition of survival...It does not matter whether the war is actually happening, and, since no decisive victory is possible, it does not matter whether the war is going well or badly. All that is needed is a state of war should exist. The war is waged by each ruling group against its own subjects, and the object of the war is not to make or prevent conquests of territory, but to keep the structure of society intact. " - G. Orwell, 1984.
Hello Jackie,
Thanks for the answer to my CIS question. (I enjoy reading your posts.)
CAB
Thank you Miss Jackie. I didn't know he did all that with his wife, I knew about some affairs and the Bush kids. Some of things I've been reading lately about Jeb, oh my.
Sorry, basheert--I wasn't sure what you meant by that statement. I understand now.
Anon at 11:43
I agree with you. BTW, where is the new thread?
Please post a new thread. Thank You!
basheert:
Looks like we are going to be 113 today! I hope you're staying cool...I know I am!!
BTW...Kyl is a big supporter for the same sex marriage ban and I guess McCain doesn't support it.
I just love the GOP's family values! Just a few examples: Jeb's affair with Katherine Harris and now another affair with a State employee. Dumbya's affair with Condi. Jeff Gannon...and Hookergate just keeps adding more names to the list. Great family values and now they want an anti-gay marriage ban. Talk about hyprocrites!! It just amazes me what these Christian Wrongs will do!
Fitz:
Where are you today? We haven't seen you much lately!
I would like to know why the hate crimes are practiced by both groups fighting for power over this country. The mafia and Politicians of Greed use them and murder them. The Freemasons and religious fanatics would like to shut them up and put them up on the cross even though every war America has had has used them as spies or in the Korea Pacific brought them over -none of you study your history- Mata Hari? Anybody know what the WWII girls were? They almost rounded them up, well they did at the dance halls, accussed them of being prostitutes and held them for three days. Special biloxi prosecutor, just love your post on how hookers should take the bus. Why don't you tell Mary Magdelegne to take the bus? Incestology 101- 99.5% of "hookers" have been raped sexually abused by family members, before the age of 5. Why don't you go get some sumpathy or an education before you open your big fat un-educated mouth. Sometimes, a peice of paper doesn't define the man but a life well questioned. Child molestation and the next group of "hookers" gay and straight are meaner, more abused, and have little to know health care. When you've got a mafia guy or the religious left/freemasons putting you down or threatening you with a gun to have unsafe sex - what was it that phrase- don't judge until you've walked in another man's shoes. Women who turn the other way and let their husbands continue looking the other way when they know their husbands are seeing hookers- and stay married to them- who is the sinner? Why don't you stop looking down on those who have been taught by their own parents to "take it and shut up". People just like you Special- what makes you so "special" Biloxi Prosecutor? A peice of paper? An overinflated ego? And both sides bitch about AIDS- yet you've left us no opportunities except to become brainwashed religious fanatatics or join in on the party and die alone. 9 out of 10 children will be raped and molosted by people that are "pillars of society on both sides" and all of you here stand against these poor children or are the molestors. Let a poor girl have a plane ride by a John, but not on our government tax payer money. It's probably the first or last time she'll be treated like a human.
All this talk of righteousness and morals reminds me of the Left Wingnut professed puritan sending photos of her private parts to a paid Troll to try and get on his good side. Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black.
Anon?
here's more laundry:
And in the six degrees of separation department, the New York Daily News reports that Mary Kay Letourneau's brother is married to the sister of Jeb Bush's wife. Letourneau is the schoolteacher who had two children with one of her students. It's in their water???
Hello Folks!
looks like the comments are way over 200. I see alot of conversation is about values. I certainly not going to join into that conversation. I will refrain any more opinion.. Seems like certain topics on this blog are becoming heated discussions...
SPB:
We just broke 114 - having a few brownouts (expected) - it's HOT!
Wonder if we could get a new thread?
Now, that is extremely hot! Make sure you stay in the shade, drink plenty of water, and put some SPF 15 lotion on you.. Man. I would pass out with that type of heat. Stay cool!
Yes, new thread please, Pat!
