Thinking Right

Good morning, Jim,

In your appraisal of this week’s events, I can’t believe you omitted one of the most “successful” achievements of this “Rump” 109th Congress. The President’s signature to the legislation providing for a 700 mile security “fence” along the border with Mexico (Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas on the American side) will make it possible for all of us to sleep better in our beds at night.

Of course, not one d*mn dime was appropriated for the cost of the erection of the fence, but the Republicans can go home for the election break and assure their “vast nose-picking herd of constituents” that they have “taken decisive action” to “protect our borders!” The Democrats will use the same rationale in their more conservative districts, while those in liberal districts will bemoan the failure of the Congress to enact a “guest worker” program. The most radical will anguish that no “path to citizenship” was created for those illegal immigrants currently working in the menial jobs that Americans will not do for pittance.

The 700 mile security fence legislation may go down as one of the greatest legislative practical jokes of all time.

Oh, well, we deserve it. In a little over a week, we will all go to the polls and re-elect the vast number of this “greatest collection of losers gathered together in any one place…except perhaps in a prison.” If we are conservative, we will elect conservatives; if we are liberal, we will elect liberals. The problem is that regardless of where we are on the political spectrum, we will be electing the most despicable of the human specie not incarcerated…politicians! The choice between Republicans and Democrats is sort of like choosing between beriberi and a coma.

Oh, well, then we will be merrily on our way toward 2008

Good morning all. I think Jim is on target on the voter id – the US Supreme Court is not going to block it as “poll tax.” The various State Supreme Courts will have to carry the water for those manufacturing roadblocks to protect voter fraud. By the way, did you all see that Drudge linked to the AJC yesterday? Jim has too much gentility to mention it, but I have no standards at all. “The judge’s white gloves come off: His own mother sued him?,” at http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/shared-blogs/ajc/politicalinsider/. If Carol Hunstein approved that advertisement, she should resign, and if she does not resign, she should be impeached. I’ve been in some skuzzy court fights and seen some really ugly matters, but nothing that approaches such behavior. What a stain on the Georgia bar! This is far worse than Bill Clinton’s perjury, because it is lies with a fig leaf of truth.

One other note, then I have to run: there is a great new interview featuring one of my favorite writers, Camille Paglia, at http://www.salon.com/opinion/feature/2006/10/27/paglia/print.html. My conservative friends may want to pass it by – or not – her acid spills on everyone.

Morning Jim,

Speaking of the election,

REPUBLICAN CONTRACT WITH AMERICA

As Republican Members of the House of Representatives and as citizens seeking to join that body we propose not just to change its policies, but even more important, to restore the bonds of trust between the people and their elected representatives.

That is why, in this era of official evasion and posturing, we offer instead a detailed agenda for national renewal, a written commitment with no fine print.

This year’s election offers the chance, after four decades of one-party control, to bring to the House a new majority that will transform the way Congress works. That historic change would be the end of government that is too big, too intrusive, and too easy with the public’s money. It can be the beginning of a Congress that respects the values and shares the faith of the American family.

Like Lincoln, our first Republican president, we intend to act “with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right.” To restore accountability to Congress. To end its cycle of scandal and disgrace. To make us all proud again of the way free people govern themselves.

On the first day of the 104th Congress, the new Republican majority will immediately pass the following major reforms, aimed at restoring the faith and trust of the American people in their government:

FIRST, require all laws that apply to the rest of the country also apply equally to the Congress;

SECOND, select a major, independent auditing firm to conduct a comprehensive audit of Congress for waste, fraud or abuse;

THIRD, cut the number of House committees, and cut committee staff by one-third;

FOURTH, limit the terms of all committee chairs;

FIFTH, ban the casting of proxy votes in committee;

SIXTH, require committee meetings to be open to the public;

SEVENTH, require a three-fifths majority vote to pass a tax increase;

EIGHTH, guarantee an honest accounting of our Federal Budget by implementing zero base-line budgeting.

• Carol Hunstein approved that advertisement, she should resign, and if she does not resign, she should be impeached*

Well if the truth hurts……….

Viewed as a corporation, Trial Lawyers Inc. has enjoyed annual domestic revenues that exceed those of every single publicly held company headquartered in Illinois

No one forces anyone to sue their neighbor. However you want to spin this it’s not a Left or Right thing but a “how can I make someone pay while making myself a quick buck” thing. Don’t even go there Jim.

Another reason to hope for education reform: The Ohio Supreme Court affirms that publicly funded, privately operated charter schools are constitutional. Choice is coming.

New Jersey has upheld gay rights, so can we defer the same thing?

Fat kids? Here’s the solution for those on Medicaid or PeachCare: Give health care providers a 10-year contract to manage the health of say, 10,000 children, at a fixed fee.

Here’s a thought and would probably cost LESS MONEY: Put Physical Education back in Middle Schools YEAR ROUND. Make PE a REQUIRED course until the kids graduate. How’s that!! I bet that would stem the “fat” kid debate without enriching any outside corporation — just our kids’ lives!!!

Jesse Jackson showed up unannounced at a Mark Taylor fund-raiser. That helps Taylor where he doesn’t need it and hurts him where he does: mainstream Georgia conservatives, which includes many Democrats.

Isn’t Dubya gonna be here in a couple of days to endorse someone? Now I wonder if his presence will hurt anyone…..?

. The President’s signature to the legislation providing for a 700 mile security “fence” along the border with Mexico (Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas on the American side) will make it possible for all of us to sleep better in our beds at night.

Hey Jim,

Want to pay for the border fence? Here is the answer. Every Year Mexicans in this country send over 20 BILLION back to mamma and pappa. Most of that is sent by Western Union, Charge a 50% surcharge for every dollar sent out of the country. 10 Billion should pay for a pretty good fence. Then when the Illegals are finished building it, toss them back over to the other side.

Wooten: “A good cop is one doing his job when nobody’s paying attention. The illegal immigration crisis evolved because nobody at the federal level was.”

I agree Jim, but like the war on drugs, we’re not going to solve the illegal immigration crisis by focusing most of our efforts on supply. We’re only chasing our tails. We have to expend more energy on demand. Of course, you know that. The problem for you is that focusing on demand would mean going after industry, and you don’t want to see your friends go to jail. I understand completely.

Wooten: “Trial lawyer money goes to Democrats.”

Trial lawyers contribute to Democrats because Democrats want to stop Republicans from eliminating the ability of courts to punish corporations when their malfeasance leads to the death or disability of their customers or employees. Republicans are determined to limit punitive damage awards to amounts that, while large to most individuals, are miniscule to the corporation that inflicted the harm. If Republicans succeed in their “tort reform” con, then their CEO contributors would have no incentive to contain their instinctively aberrant behavior.

jbmlaw, are you out already? No bazaar inferences from my comments today? You somehow inferred yesterday that I assume that “all speech is equally meritorious.” Of course, that’s untrue. If that were true, then I’d have to assume that your speech is equally meritorious. Actually, I believe that your speech has no merit whatsoever; it’s influenced entirely by your avariciousness (including your fake concern for protecting voter fraud).

I have to agree with Jim that we have plenty of mediocre (and worse) representation right now. Time to throw the bums out and start again. Jim, you have always said that you wanted races for judgeships to be more like races for other offices. You have your wish. Why are you complaining? The political ads in this country have sunk lower and lower, and GA is no exception. I do take issue with the comment on the Election Board. They are not asking the members to resign because of the voter ID law, but rather want them out for the letter they sent about ID’s being necessary. The letter was sent after the law was declared unconstitutional and the State announced it would not appeal before the November election. The letter should not have been sent, but it was by partisan members of the Board. That is why their resignations are being sought. It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court said did or didn’t do in Arizona.

“The big-spending, high-deficit, morally-deficient Republican Party hasn’t anything to offer conservatives except Halloween scare tactics about the Democrats. But since the GOP majority in Congress has engaged in an unprecedented spending spree, conservatives know that Democrats cannot be any worse and that divided government may lead to less spending.”

“And conservatives have learned that, while Republicans sometimes provide significant symbolism on social issues, in truth, many of them have a disdain for values voters.”

“Trying to frighten conservatives by yelling Nancy Pelosi' andHarry Reid’ won’t work this time.”

Richard Viguerie said that. Jim’s still carrying water for them.

I look forward to JW’s trashing of Carol Hunstein and to her response to his editorial (you will allow her a response, won’t you). Wooten asked for partisan judicial races and now he has them. If what she said is not true, I am with JBM. If what she says is true, Wiggins should withdraw and crawl back under the rock he crawled out from under. I expect JW will research this matter thoroughly before writing his op/ed.

The choice between Republicans and Democrats is sort of like choosing between beriberi and a coma.

A nice piece of fiction, this canard.

Let’s see, the Republicans created a giant welfare bill for the pharmaceutical industry, making it illegal for the federal government to bargain over drug prices.

The Republicans enacted large tax cuts for the wealthy and stockholders, while doing nothing to lower the payroll taxes paid by the poor.

The Republicans coddled credit card companies while making it practically impossible for most indebted persons to declare bankruptcy and get a fresh start. At the same time, the Republican comptroller general doubled the credit card payments of cardholders.

The Republicans refused to consider enacting health insurance legislation to help the 40 million uninsured citizens in this country.

The Republicans tried to dismantle Social Security by converting it to a giant 401k scheme.

The Republicans inherited a fiscal surplus and ran up the largest budget deficit in history, while at the same time creating thousands of holiday gifts for campaign contributors in the form of bridges to nowhere, museums, etc. Our grandchildren will be picking up the tab.

The Republicans appropriated hundreds of billions for a failed war effort, while refusing to demand accountability for expenditures. Halliburton became very, very profitable.

The Republicans became a legislative mafia, refusing to allow even one Democrat to serve on a conference committee to shape a final version of a bill. Meanwhile, the Republicans allowed an imperial presidency to develop, rolling over while hundreds of presidential signing statements disavowed acceptance of portions of legislation enacted in the name of the people. We got a line-item veto by default.

The Republicans steamrolled the confirmation of reactionary Supreme Court justices. Most Americans have no idea of how curtailed their rights are about to become and how little they matter in matters affecting big business and individual freedom.

Oh, it matters whether the choice is a Democrat or a Republican—if you are a lover of this country and its freedoms. People like jbmlaw would like you to think it doesn’t matter, but it matters greatly. If you really love your country, you will vote these Republican scoundrels out of office next month.

Oh, you’re dwelling all right.

Bush has had to change more than just “Stay the course” concerning Iraq. Remember the multi-member “Coalition of the Willing”? Well, that’s been whittled down to the “Coalition of the Drilling”. (It’s The US, Litchenstein, and BP Oil).

W can say “Stay the course” all he wants, but the Statue of Liberty is saying, “Right Turn, Clyde”.

Mediocre Lawyers? You mean a lawyer who would spend most of his day commenting with other mediocrities in a blog-turned-chatroom? I dont mind incompetence. I expect it. (I’m 55). It’s willful neglect of personal growth that gets my panties in a bunch. And I think it’s a damn shame.

Ann Coulter weighed in on Fox’s phoney symptoms on Fox yesterday: “I’ve never seen a man enjoy his Parkinsons’s more than Michael J. Fox. It’s obviously just liberals trying to cram healthcare down our throats. And just what is Parkinson’s anyway? Didn’t Jerry Lewis make it up? I’m so sick of these phoney diseased jerks. Where was Sally Struthers telling us we could cure the poor man for a dollar a day? That phoney shaking was pathetic. . I mean, method acting went out with James Dean and Marlon Brando. Die already, jeeze.”

The mission in Iraq has morphed again in the last 36 hours. Intel suspected, but couldn’t prove, that the loose confederation of Shia Militias headed by that weird bearded guy had splintered. Now it’s a certainty. Now we are faced with a war within a war within a war within a war.

We are going to have to slaughter those people indiscriminately, and hope to attrition the sedition. ( attrite the shiite).

The Pope has several brothers and sisters, and has never been subject to a restraining order on or for any of them. In fact, the Pope feels free to call any of them at any time of the day or night, or drop by thier homes unannounced. The fact that the Wiggins family settles their disputes in court or with restraining orders indicates redneck family values in operation. Based on the facts of the case, we can assume that either Wiggins is a bully, his sister is a drunk or a drug addict, or both.

Filthy redneck trash. Thank the good Judge Hunstein for pointing that out to us.

Methinks the real problem that jbm, et. al. have with Judge Hunstein is that she squats to pee, and that ‘stein’ in her name.

Yes, Southern Democrat, the middle is where we all want to be…as long as that place allows us to maintain the brave assault on Parkinson “sufferers” and other weepy victims, like Dem Congressional candidates who were “injured” in military service. (Like the great fake Cleland, I believe Tammy Duckworth blew her own legs off so she could maniuplate us with her “tragic” tale. How low these lefty crybabies can go!)

Many pinko sob sisters accuse the Great Limbaugh of selective inconsistency in his shrewd analysis of current affairs. Well, here’s more proof that this is a baseless charge hurled by bedwetters who cannot hold their own in a free debate. The canny comments about the faux shaky Fox are not the first of their kind. Why, years ago the Mighty Wurlitzer offered similar denigration of Janet Reno as her so-called “disease” became apparent, going so far as to nickname her “Shakes” Reno. Yes, Rush, consistency is thy middle name. It’s clear that the oxycontin/viagra cocktails have done nothing to blunt his sharp insight. Indeed, whether it is his rebuke of manipulative Hollyweird libs (like the non-Gentile Streisand); his stalwart support for the Office of the Presidency (except for the illegally “elected” Clinton, of course), or his call for consistent application of strict drug law enforcement, the Great One has proved his moral certitude and intellectual consistency from Day One.

Certainly, the fact that even the Uber-lib Katie Couric relentlessly prodded “Trembles” Fox is more than enough evidence that he is a big phony faker faker. Even Commie Katie can see through his ruse.

Yes, the middle is where I want to be, as long as I am free to poke fun at people who do not share my True Belief.

And true, the Hunstein ad is just reprehensible and uncalled for. Especially if it is true.

Finally, Mid-South…your point about the lack of funding for the Mexicali Wall is beside the point. There has also never been an allocation for Our Leader’s heralded Mission to Mars, but that does not mean it is not going to happen. If the Demoncrat obstructionists in Congress would quit blocking the tax cuts, we would be able to afford both of these important projects, plus the coming war with Iran, and still have plenty left for the Faith Based Initiatives that Our Leader so fervently wishes to finance.

Stupid Dumbocrats. When we Real Conservatives finally gain power, we’ll get some things done, just like Newt promised in the Contract With America.

Ann Coulter is undeniably one of the GREAT commentators of our day and is definitely someone I have high regard for and like, her astute and concise commentary on the far left 9/11 cash cow widows was worthy of a Pulitzer.

I also like Rush and Dr Savage (despite the occasional irrational/paranoid rant on the wireless). Although I am invariably quite suspicious of men who like/own small yap dogs and flaunt them. I loathe the usually brainless self absorbed wimmin who flaunt these “rodents” as “accessories” as these heavily made up, bling bling wimmin are usually quite repugnant in every other social respect.

I dont share Ms Coulter’s religious views at all of course, being a decidedly secular (somewhat mildly pro-choice) PROUD RIGHT WING conservative is a certainly a character building path, and one that is utterly irresistable.

This M.J. Fox arsewipe is abusing the natural sympathy he elicits by being overtly partisan and extremely dishonest.

The Mexican fence needs to be electrified for ALL 2000 MILES and also heavily mined in the most popular illegal crossing areas. Its also worth seriously considering introducing rather aggressive alligators into the Rio Grande to ensure the border is even better protected. Indeed factory farming gators down Mexico Way would provide much needed cheaper handbags for Katrina refugees miffed that their Red Cross/FEMA cash cards have been maxed out. Slaughtered gators would also faciltate a cheapish food source for the Border Patrol feeding illegal Mexican types captured trying to infest the USA with their unwanted freeloading presence.

Hopefully the extremely oily Vicente Fox would become the most famous (televised) gator victim as a heartfelt thank you for all his sleazy corrupt hard work systematically promoting and fostering illegal peasantish Mexican type immigration to the US.

You are obviously only a semi-literate MoRoN. I stated that Ms. Coulter’s religious dogma was very off putting. It is her unerringly astute and hilariously amusing political commentary that is her chief attribute.

Fox admits in his book and elsewhere that he deliberately goes off his meds for public appearances so he can cynically dramatize his condition that bit more - thus (supposedly) gaining even more sympathy for his plight and CAUSE. This is disgustingly dishonest and manipulative. As he is exclusively campaigning POLITICALLY for demoNcrats against the GOP it is absolutely proper that he be heavily critised for his extremely partisan behaviour and dishonesty.

Your Fault I was always taught as a manager that no matter what your employee does wrong, it ultimately is your fault. You somehow failed in hiring the wrong person, didn’t train them properly or oversee their progress, etc. I accept that to this day. Managers have to be accountable for the performance of their employees.

Even if our President is not.

Despite his ridiculous speech yesterday in which he claimes that the responsibility for Iraq lies “with the President”, he has accepted less responsibility for anything bad that he and his group have actually done than the average manager at McDonalds. No one in the Bush White House has ever admitted a mistake (not really) or apologized and promised to do better. No one. It is part of their “Never Apologize, Never Admit” strategy. It is something that Rush Limbaugh has used succesfully for years.

So if they won’t take blame then someone else must. Who is that someone?

You.

We are in prime election season and that means plenty of blame for plenty of problems. But the fact is that this is STILL a government chosen by the people.

So if you voted for “W” or any Republican in 2002 or 2004 a good majority of our problems are your fault. Notice I cut you a break for 2000 since we had no national idea what kind of disaster Bush would be. Well, some of us did.

Just think about this:

It is your fault that someone you know was killed or injured in Iraq.

It is your fault that Americans were allowed to die in New Orleans mainly because they mostly vote Democratic (when they vote).

It is your fault that the nation’s wealthiest people and companies are becoming much richer at the expense of hope and opportunity.

It is your fault that science has had to defend itself against “intelligent design” nonsense in our SCHOOLS no less.

It is your fault that any decent American who has opposed the current President gets treated like a traitor to our nation.

It is your fault that our traditional friends across the world can no longer afford to be seen as supporting us.

It is your fault that our enemies have been emboldened and grown in strength since the election of George W. Bush.

It is your fault that our national security has been compromised by the unwillingness of this President and his Republican puppets to actually engage in diplomacy with North Korea or Iran. We did it very succesfully with the Soviets and won.

It is your fault that Osama Bin Ladin roams free to make tapes while they are still finding pieces of his victims in New York.

If you voted for Bush and the GOP lots of things have been lost that may never come back and this would also be your fault.

The only remedy for this is to give the other side a shot. Vote Democratic no matter what in a couple of weeks. No matter what.

Then it can be someone else’s fault.

Troof, I watched a loved one suffer and deteriorate for more than a decade before succumbing to Parkinson’s. As with people afflicted with many other diseases, Parkinson’s sufferers often tire of the side affects of the medicines they are directed to take. The drugs that steady the motor functions also make them feel disconnected mentally, as well feeling hot and flushed and sometimes nauseus. Perhaps Mr. Fox prefers to do interviews in a state of mental alertness while shaking than to be steady, yet fogged in the brain.

Of course, I realize my point here is moot, since you are a dispicable sadist who rejoices in the suffering of others. A real PIG just like Rush. No smirk necessary, scum.

it was my understanding that he was off his meds this time, certainly he has done this in the past and professes this shameful tactic - which I note you smugly ignore and fail to condemn.

As for your extremely obtuse question - clearly NOT. Nor was it even hinted at, let alone implied in my answer. The issue is NOT his illness - its NOT a disability but a very debilitating illness - hence its called Parkinson’s disease, although sadly it is increasingly ‘disabling’ him. Nor indeed is his opinion/preference at issue - just his blatant leftist partisanship, which he is perfectly entitled to ventilate, but which understandably has NOT gone unanswered.

Why is it “disgustingly dishonest and manipulative” for someone who is suffering from a serious, debiltiating illness, especially at a relatively young age, to want to try to garner support for his CAUSE? If you had such a condition, you would probably be doing the same. Why do you object to Fox doing this? Is it because he is famous and might actually have an impact on the issue of stem cell research? Do you feel the same way about Nancy Reagan?

The Trial Lawyers Industry has spiraled out of control but how do we rein them in? They have taken ownership of our constitutional, legislative and legal processes unabated and have created such a web that it seems impossible to unravel. Anyone with even minimal experience with a civil or criminal legal problem is taken back by the amount of waste and complexity inherent in our legal system. What other industry has a timer on every second of client contact? It is amazing the number of people I know personally who have felt ripped off by their lawyers because of negligence and blatant fraud. And yet, malpractice lawsuits against lawyers are miniscule compared to all other professional services. Ironically, this industry is so impenetrable, our only recourse is to fight fire with fire. Surely, there are enough enterprising and ethical lawyers out there who recognize the opportunity of personal wealth and fame by capitalizing on the public’s disdain for the trial lawyers industry by creating a formidable counter industry to put a stop to this abuse of power. We need to engage in massive class action lawsuits against this industry for unfair business practices, obstruction of justice and anything else applicable within our legal system. Only an organized public revolt can effect change in a self-serving industry that is wreaking havoc on our country.

garnering support for any illness/condition is perfectly fine and no one condemns them for it, indeed Fox has sadly become a great spokesman for his cause … but the tactic of deliberately going OFF THEIR MEDS TO MANIPULATE SYMPATHY (and stating this publicly) is disgusting … when its a liberal doing it to a conservative in a national election then its despicable. I would condemn a conservative doing it to a liberal. The new opposing ad by other Missouri ‘celebrities’ raises many issues which Fox glibly and totally ignores in his highly emotive, factually extremely selective “pitch”.

By your first statement, thus no Republican – all obviously mentally healthy - could ever criticize any Leftist – all obviously affected by a nervous disease.

Let’s face it, Republicans are in trouble for supporting Bush’s utterly disgraceful stem cell research policy. Better to throw away thousands of embryos, the size of a pin prick, than use them to possibly—according to scientists-find a cure for life threatening disease. Only a fanatic sees this as a great moral issue

Phil (former Pin Prick)

If Michael J. Fox want to appear before Congress and not take his meds, that’s fine as long as he is honest about it at the time.

If the unavailability of medicine to the poor is the issue, he can say - ‘this is what life would be like for me if I did not have the good fortune to be able to afford the meds that Big Pharma makes’ and Congress, as our representatives, can debate it and decide whether it deserves Federal Funding.

If Rush Limbuagh remembers correctly that MJF once admitted that he purposely did not take his meds, and wonders if that was not the case with his TV ad against Jim Talent, that is a fair and reasonable observation.

When Rush points out that the ad is “misleading” (a euphemism for “big fat lie”), MJF and his partisan Democrat sponsors cannot hide behind MJF’s illness and claim immunity from debate.

If Rush and others point out that MJF has NOT been able to show that Embryonic Stem Cell research has not provided anything more than HOPE at this point, that is fair and responsible information.

If Rush points out that Democrats like John Edwards give FALSE HOPE to people who are ill with diseases like Parkinsons, or people like the late Christopher Reeve, when they know perfectly well that it will be decades before anything at all MAY come of it, then that is cynical exploitation and that deserves to be pointed out.

It is being pointed out that the ballot in front of Missouri voters is a cloning bill, disguised as an anti-cloning bill - the height of sophistry and deception which, if it passes, will be enshrined in the State CONSTITUTION.

If you do not care about ethical questions about cloning (Somatic cell nuclear transfer) the process that is necessary to create embryonic stem cells, you have the right to express that view.

However, for you to call very reasonable people who oppose cloning and other ethically dubious Brave New World techniques (that are being pushed on Americans in the most deceptive manner) - “fanatics” - makes YOU no better than a full grown……..PRICK.

jbmlaw @2:26 “…it does not require guts to go on national television and condemn those you hate and demand that money be stolen from free individuals by government gendarmes and spent imprudently to support your pet interest – it merely requires chutzpah.”

jbm, you’ve been b***-slapped for similar comments before, yet you continue to repeat this ludicrous talking point that we hear everyday on WGST and FOX news.

You say money is stolen from free individuals for stem cell research; I say money is stolen from free individuals who go to work everyday to subsidize the investors and heirs who hold the most influence over our representatives.

You say money is stolen from free individuals to regulate industry for health and safety; I say money is stolen from free individuals to maintain the military-industrial complex.

You say money is stolen from free individuals for public education; I say money is stolen from free individuals to finance a misbegotten war in Iraq.

Since you like to run with the talk-show “it’s my money” misinformation tactic, then you steal my money for unmitigated warmongering, hate and destruction, and I steal your money for safety and security. So, why the unrelenting hypocrisy?

As far as your comment about Michael J. Fox going on television to condemn those he hates to support his “pet interest” – now that’s chutzpah.

Rush Limbaugh don’t know what Fox was doing. Rush just does what he does all the times. Blame every body else for their situations, but when he does something unlawful he wiggles his way out of it. Thats a GOP thing. They always think they are above the law. They want to do anything they want to do to benifit themselves, everybody else can go to hell. Some conservativeness alright. Long as their pocket or full and they are not on the front line in the war nor their kids then they are a good patriotic Americans. We need Democrats voted in office Nov.7 to bring back accountability and sensablilty.

CJ,

We have something called “elections” in this country. Our “representatives” fund things based on the wishes of their constituents who elected them.

We each get one vote, no matter how much we earn or how much we inherit.

If you think we should de-fund the military so that we can fund embryonic stem cell cloning then support candidates who think they can elected on that platform.

Hammer THIS: Rush is just mad at MJF because he invited him to go along on the “guys only” trip to the Dominican Republic he took with his “guy” friends a few months ago, and MJF declined. You remember, dont’ you? The “just the guys” trip to an impoverished, third-world country were rich American men go to… um….. What do they go there for? What is the primary tourism attraction there? Anyone?

So anyway, you may remember that Rush was caught by customs with a bottle of Viagra that was not labeled as prescribed for him. Just a little mix-up, though. Nothing being rich & famous can’t buy your way out of when you’re on probation for doctor-shopping THOUSANDS of Oxycontins. (Does Viagra make you go deaf too?)

Anyway, MJF said, “No thanks Rush, I love my wife and am not interested in buying impoverished boy-children for one-night… bowling-for-Viagra trips,” and Rush took offense that the little shaky guy was getting uppity so he decided to submarine his effort to find a cure. In the end, all was forgiven, I’m sure. (Excepting maybe the little brown boys in the D.R. Bless their little hearts, probably still hurts and they didn’t get any hillbilly heroin for their trouble.)

Have a good weekend all. Careful in that rainy traffic … Oh, I just thought of something else …

REPUBLICAN CONTRACT WITH AMERICA

As Republican Members of the House of Representatives and as citizens seeking to join that body we propose not just to change its policies, but even more important, to restore the bonds of trust between the people and their elected representatives.

That is why, in this era of official evasion and posturing, we offer instead a detailed agenda for national renewal, a written commitment with no fine print.

This year’s election offers the chance, after four decades of one-party control, to bring to the House a new majority that will transform the way Congress works. That historic change would be the end of government that is too big, too intrusive, and too easy with the public’s money. It can be the beginning of a Congress that respects the values and shares the faith of the American family.

Like Lincoln, our first Republican president, we intend to act “with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right.” To restore accountability to Congress. To end its cycle of scandal and disgrace. To make us all proud again of the way free people govern themselves.

On the first day of the 104th Congress, the new Republican majority will immediately pass the following major reforms, aimed at restoring the faith and trust of the American people in their government:

FIRST, require all laws that apply to the rest of the country also apply equally to the Congress;

SECOND, select a major, independent auditing firm to conduct a comprehensive audit of Congress for waste, fraud or abuse;

THIRD, cut the number of House committees, and cut committee staff by one-third;

FOURTH, limit the terms of all committee chairs;

FIFTH, ban the casting of proxy votes in committee;

SIXTH, require committee meetings to be open to the public;

SEVENTH, require a three-fifths majority vote to pass a tax increase;

EIGHTH, guarantee an honest accounting of our Federal Budget by implementing zero base-line budgeting.

By 4 pm (central time zone) that same afternoon, Jim Borgman of the Cincinatti Enquirer had published a cartoon that showed the GOP elephant using a soapbrush with a handle to “Ex-foley-ate” his back with soap scrubbing. Jim Borgman also won a pulitzer prize, like Luckovich. Parallel development of a joke? Two like minds?

Well said @3:32 Buy Danish. Now if you could only convince jbm. (FYI, I want to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse in military contracting - billions of dollars worth - not the same as de-funding it.)

jbmlaw wrote that “The rest of us believe wealth is the property of its creator.”

You’re not the creator of all of your wealth jbm. You ride on government funded roads and highways, have access to credit at low interest rates with government subsidized bank loans, have a bank account secured by the government, pretend to practice law before a judge who is paid by the government, have access to the safest air and cleanest water in the world that’s protected by the government, and have a military that paved the way for our freedoms (the good kind, not the freedoms to do evil that you condone). You also benefit from a central bank that’s financed by the government and from investments that are transparent because of the government oversight. This list merely scratches the surface of how you take from government expenditures.

These things that you take for granted were paid for with tax dollars. You and I were lucky enough to be born, white males, in a country with a foundation that provides opportunities that nobody else in the world has.

Still, your unchecked ego tells you that you could have been an impoverished, diseased girl living in a war-torn third-world African country and without help of any kind, you’d still have ended up as a successful fake lawyer in Atlanta. You’re not the creator of all your wealth, but you seek to let others, many of whom are less fortunate, pay for the physical and economic infrastructure that provides you with opportunities to achieve.

Having said that, you don’t really believe that wealth is the property of the creator. You’re as willing to tax others as anyone. You just want lower income households to pay a portion of your share through regressive taxes and then leave the rest of your share to be paid by future generations.

Why not fess up now jbm? You’re as big a Marxist, pinko, welfare queen as any.

I am not lying or distorting the truth when I say that it wouldn’t make a difference to me whether Limbaugh was a republican or a democrat.

(unsure if previous message sent) Van—never said any stem cell research illegal—-basic scientific research is almost always funded by government, as it has to be-there’s no profit motive for companies, unlike for specific product based on general research.

Janine——-you should know that the process to create embryonic stem cells is nothing like human cloning. Hate to get graphic, but pin prink embryos have as much to do with human life as the results of masterbation. If it’s human life, wonder why Bush brought all thoses invitro fertilization couples to the White House—given that several embryos are destroyed for every fetus. I guess it’s alright to kill 3 or 4 “humans” to create one fetus? That’s why the whole subject is for fanatics——-generally the same religious fanatics who support Bush’s war and lust for torture.
