Goldy–are you going to do a story about the Republicans’ election of a new Majority Leader in the House? The first vote the held resulted in more votes than people in the room. Is this a technique they learned from the King County Republicans? Or did both groups learn it in College Republicans?
College Republicans — aren’t they the con artists who fleeced senior citizens? http://seattletimes.nwsource.c.....bs28m.html
“Fund-raising group milks vulnerable senior citizens
“Copyright 2004, The Seattle Times Co.
“By David Postman and Jim Brunner
“Seattle Times staff reporters
T”he College Republican National Committee has raised $6.3 million this year through an aggressive and misleading fund-raising campaign that collected money from senior citizens who thought they were giving to the election efforts of President Bush and other top Republicans.
“Many of the top donors were in their 80s and 90s. The donors wrote checks — sometimes hundreds and, in at least one case, totaling more than $100,000 — to groups with official sounding-names such as ‘Republican Headquarters 2004’ …. But all of those groups … were … projects of the College Republicans, who collected all of the checks. And little of the money went to election efforts … 90 percent went to direct-mail vendors and postage expenses, according to records filed with the Internal Revenue Service.
“Some of the elderly donors, meanwhile, wound up bouncing checks and emptying their bank accounts.
“‘I don’t have any more money,’ said Cecilia Barbier, a 90-year-old retired church council worker in New York City. ‘I’m stopping giving to everybody. That was all my savings that they got.’
…
“In Van Buren, Ark., Monda Jo Millsap, 68, said she emptied her savings account by writing checks to College Republicans, then got a bank loan of $5,000 and sent that, too, before totaling her donations at more than $59,000.
” … since at least 2001, some leaders of College Republicans have objected to the tone and targeting of the fund raising done by Response Dynamics, the Virginia company that handles the direct-mail campaign. … ‘We felt their fund-raising practices were deceptive, to say the least,’ said George Gunning, former treasurer of the College Republicans. Gunning said he and two other board members fought to cut ties with Response Dynamics but were blocked by other leaders ….
“The board debated the fund-raising practices after the family of an elderly Indiana woman with Alzheimer’s disease demanded that her donations be returned. The woman’s family said it had sent a registered letter asking that she be taken off the mailing list, but the solicitations continued. Only after a newspaper reported on the story did the College Republicans refund $40,000 to the family, according to Jackie Boyle, one of the woman’s nieces.
“‘I think this is a nationwide scam,’ Boyle said on hearing of recent complaints. ‘They’re covering the whole country … they need to be investigated.'”
Republican = thief
Republican = crooks, liars, and cheats
Republican = dirty, dishonest, disreputable
Yeah, it is alot better to give the Chinese weapons technology
for campaign donations and crack to the rest of the democrats
in town for their votes.
Roger Rabbit@1
Yes but you dont have DSL…or if you do your puter still wont log on!
Iran continues to threaten the world. They continue to tell the french and the UN to fuck off.
How long should we wait before we bomb the shit out of them? Or should we not do that because “violence doesn’t solve anything”?
The world has taken the moonbat approach with them and look how well that has worked. Is it time for the adults to step in?

Wabbit is trying to knock repubs down to the donks level. I cant wait or the Libby trial, its going to be a disaster for the donks. Donks = Traitors.
kissing rich peoples’ booty X S-Corporation tax free money to rich people for pitiful contributions = Republican Congress
Rev – What’s your problem with “rich people”. Why do you hate productive successful people?
12
“successful people”
Like Mike McGavick? Who got $14.5 million a year for screwing his policyholders? Or did they just pay him all that money as a disguised campaign contribution, so he can be an insurance industry lackey in the U.S. Senate, and carry on his work of screwing consumers?
McGavick ain’t gonna get elected dogcatcher. Eat shit, Pukes!
Hey MTR, our “problem” with most rich people is they don’t get their money honestly, they get it by plundering corporations, fucking over workers and consumers, licking the government tit, or just plain stealing it. Getting big money has nothing to do with “earning” anymore, it’s just looting now.
Mr. Mark The Redneck,
The “adults” stepped on it in Iraq 3 years ago. The body count is now at 2382 dead.
Exactly what troops and equipment are we going to use in Iraq now that the Flight Suit in Chief has wrecked the Military?
Army stretched to breaking point, report says
Rumsfeld says military not overextended but ‘battle hardened’
Wednesday, January 25, 2006; Posted: 4:08 p.m. EST (21:08 GMT)
WASHINGTON (AP) — Stretched by frequent troop rotations to Iraq and Afghanistan, the Army has become a “thin green line” that could snap unless relief comes soon, according to a study for the Pentagon.
You people really do not live in the reality based community. You keep repeating the same thing over and over until you actually believe it is true. Amazing.
MTR, our young men and women have bent over backwards trying to cover up the stupidity of the FSIC and the litter Rummer boy. But they only have so much to give before Reality Bites,
My appologies. I meant to say use in Iran.
15
You rely on CNN and the MSM to give the straight truth about the military? Haven’t you donks learn anything from the Newsweek scandal. Next thing we will see is these donks pointing to stories on 60 minutes as the truth. Geeeesh
Comander ogg, does CNN have “donkuments” backing their story? If so what subscript is it in? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Well, we don’t have much to worry about with Doofus & Co. trying to declare martial law ( not “marshall law” as they say at uSP ) with a worn out army and if they try to use the nouvou Pinkerton Army they’re trying to put together we may be forced to pull a Hutu on them.
Ban righty trolls who comment here and on uSP. Fair and Balanced, that’s my motto!
Looks like we will be headed into Iran shortly. When are the Democrats in Congress going to grow a pair and IMPEACH that son of a bitch?
ROger, C’mon… do you really believe that most rich people got that way through illegitmate means? Those people get a lot of press, but how about the rich guy next door? Do you think he’s a crook? It doesn’t even occur to you that hard work is rewarded.
You’re pathetic…
Fire One – I agree. Let’s wait until Iran lobs a nuke on us or somebody else, and then go to the UN and debate it for a year or two. We can then admonish them in the “strongest possible terms”.
Is that what you want? Or should we bomb the shit out of them now before they do it?
Sheesh. I predict Bush will step down, resign the Presidency in disgrace. For the love of God and country, this criminal administration must be stopped. Activist republicans are lying traitors. Evangelical christian republicans are the chaff, Christ would winnow and throw away. It’s a damned disgrace that any member of the Bush political dynasty could hold public office.
MTR – What the fuck you talking about? The Iranians are years from having any sort of nuclear weapon. And if they had one, what exactly would they LOB it with? Why are R’s so scared of everything? They are scared of their own shadow, and want us to be scared with them… The only reason they want us scared is so they can take away our civil liberties and establish a kingdom…
re 22: So, all this Republican hubbub about repealing the inheritance tax is to benefit : “productive , hardworking people”? Nobody begrudges a hardworking person their just reward unless you’re a union-busting multimillionaire who never worked a day in his life and inherited every cent he has. This 1% of Americans has no right to sit on all that money that they did NOT earn.
You’re a pathetic buttkissing rich-man wannabe. That warm “trickle” you feel on your neck ain’t money.

REV AA, Why is it that blacks make up 12% of the population in America, but are 50% of the AIDs cases? Please explain!
If Iran nukes the NY Times Building or the DNC Building, we should write a stern letter to the United Nations!! [hehe]
JCH – Wow! What a zinger. You have nothing to contribute, so you stoop to personal attacks. Typical neo-Nazi. According to Fox news, they are still several years away from any sort of nuclear weapon. While I don’t usually believe Faux News, I know it is a source YOU trust…
JCH – Why do you live in constant fear?
JCH – What are you afraid of ?
JCH – Terrorists could live anywhere. Maybe we should nuke the whole world…
And with the NSA and CIA’s track record, I agree, Who needs ’em…
Look out! There goes a terrorist!!!!! Duck JCH!!!!
Where in the Constitution or anywhere else , for that matter, does it say that American style Corporatism is the only type of economic system that is compatible with our constitutional republican democracy?

eventually they are going to procure some nuclear weapons
and maybe detonate 10 or 20 of them in BLUE RETARDED Town
near you. I just pray you are sterile. Too bad your mom
didn’t have an abortion. What kind of earrings do you have?
Prescott Bush made big money knowingly and willingly off of Jewish slave labor in the holocaust. A part of the Bush family fortune is based on the broken lives and bodies of holocaust victims. This is a matter of public record.
The acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree, Jch. This president will not protect you from anything
43
You are right about the acorn not falling far from the tree but used a bad example. Everybody knows Joe Kennedy was a known Nazi sympathizer. We all know how well the swimmer protects the American people, just ask Mary Jo Kopechne.
What do you think of a family that profitted from making weapons in Germany during WWII, JCH?
Killing our own soldiers for the almighty dollar. They are capable of any depravity — including turning against YOU, JCH!
43……..Bull Shit. It was Big Joe Kennedy who was the Nazi suck up. George Walker Bush was a Naval Officer during WWII, and the now President Bush flew F-106s [Delta Daggers, 350 hrs]. REV, your military service?? [I thought so. Why don’t you join your “bros” and go burn down your neighborhood, smoke some crack, and knock up some 12 year olds.]

Rufus & JCH = Dumb Righty Louts
Little Mark – Don’t be scared. The big bad boogie man is not going to blow you up. If Muslims were going to blow us up, why, the Afghanis have had nukes for some years now. And if you are scared of these guys, why don’t you secure our borders? Why don’t you inspect incoming container ships? Why is it all you do is take away toe clippers from airline passengers? Moron.
Little Mark – why don’t you shut off your daddys computer now and go do your homework.
REV, If Bill Clinton was the first black President, would Teddy be the first black Senator from MASS?
And remember to take the trash out tonight, you know how it smells up the trailer when you forget…

JCH – time for your meds.
Too bad the towel heads didn’t hit the DNC Building or the NY Times Building. Then the libs on this board would be screaming for revenge!
Maybe a few years in military service would be good for you, Fire_one!
JCH – My god, you really are a scaredy-cat. Don’t worry, we will protect you with the blood of our children. And if the Chimpanzee in Chief has his way, we will be attacking Iran shortly. We really really really need to impeach that stupid cocksucker.
I still don’t understand how a monkey became Chimpanzee in Chief.
JCH – What the fuck do you know about anything. After my 24 years of military service, I don’t understandd how you weren’t fragged….
In fact, I don’t know why you don’t die from forgetting to breathe…
Oh, that’s right. You were a cook….

Maybe you can “Tookie” your daughter while Mrs. Fire_one and I watch! Incest is best!!
Yeah, you’re officer material all right…
Why don’t you run off to (u)SP where you can join your Nazi brethren in reciting Faux talking points….
Moron.
Did you get those dishes done like I told you?
And with that, I am outta here. Remember: Impeach Bush Now.
JCH – you need to get some help with your dementia and hate monger style. Goldy, zap this shit face — way over the top.
Used to debate with the KKK on the radio — they had more class.

“kissing rich peoples’ booty X S-Corporation tax free money to rich people for pitiful contributions = Republican Congress”
Rich people contributed $4 billion to the GOP between 2000 and 2004, and got $400 billion in tax breaks — a 100-fold return on their investment. From a purely accounting point of view, it’s the best money they’ve ever spent.

Of course I can understand why it did bother you donks we had a rapist in office; you definitely don’t care about sex predators in our public schools.
Clinton = rapist
RUFUS = BIG LIE
Repeat it and it must be true, or not.
You make Kennedy all things Democratic. And then object when other examples are brought to the table. You don’t get to make the rules.
And fuck you about predators in schools. I have spent years on the PTA board and countless hours volunteering in classrooms. WHat have you done?

Why you donks do it with Bush with your lies. The only difference is I am telling the truth.
When you read the newspaper, try understanding it. You no doubt are referring to the union resisting releasing the names of teachers accused but not convicted. There is still a presumption on innocence in this country. And again, in my real world involvement in the schools when a teacher did have credible evidence of improper conduct with students, the union stepped aside and let hustice take its course.
Using that BIG LIE again. Repeating a discredited story from the repub talking points.
RUFUS, the BIG LIAR
115
Well that is one story. How about the teacher at a public school in North Seattle who just got busted after repeated warning signs. How about the teacher in Bellevue who even more recently got busted. How about the Janitor in a central seattle public school. I can go on and on. As far as the teacher union is concerned I am glad to see our kids are in such capable hands. Geesh give me a freaken break.
Neither Rufus nor JCH even tried to refute my true assertion that part of the Bush family fortune rests on the profits that Prescott Bush DIRECTLY EARNED from slave labor in Nazi Germany. This kind of inhuman war profiteering is a BUSH FAMILY TRADITION.
The Bush family is being sued for reparations as we speak by survivors of this Bush family holocaust slave labor profits.
K you are a typical donk. The catholic church get caught playing musical chairs with its priests and the left wants to hang them from the highest gallows but if it is a teacher well we have a presumption of innocence we have to abide by. Typical donk bullshit.
George W. Bush went to college on money his family earned off of slave labor from the holocaust. They owe reparations and a public apology.
This whole family is a criminal , anti-American crime syndicate.
120
Only a donk can rape(Clinton)or kill (swimmer) and still get elected.
Oh yeah and there is evidence that Foster was murdered so that make Cliton and rapist and a murderer. Hehehehe
Accused sex predators should be given a fair trial. Those convicted should serve the sentences established under the law. It is entirely reasonable for a union to insist it’s members get a fair trail and, if acquitted, are allowed to move on. “Repeated warning signs” is more likely an administration issue then a union issue.
To say Democrats protect sex predators is a BIG LIE.
FOSTER murder- BIG LIE.
If Ken Starr and his years and millions wasted couldn’t prove it, it didn’t happen.
BIG LIAR
RUFUS at 119- Why do you hate American justice? Presumption of innocence is a foundational value.
As a Catholic, with relatives in the priesthood, I am disgusted by what they ADMIT they have done. Those admissions remove the presumption of innocence.
But you do have a problem distinguishing facts from figments of your twisted imagination
Bush Family = holocaust slave labor profitteers
FOSTER murder- BIG LIE.
If Ken Starr and his years and millions wasted couldn’t prove it, it didn’t happen.
BIG LIAR
Comment by K— 2/4/06 @ 9:12 pm
Still haven’t explained how he shot himself on the left side of his head when he right handed. Do you know how that could happen ?
And you still haven’t explained why Ken Starr found nothing. I do not give any credence to anything you bring to this conversation.
You had the House, the Senate and Ken “the Inquisitor” Starr after this and they found nothing. Give it up. Find another BIG LIE to carry on about.
K how do you explain teachers who have moved not once or twice but three times after allegations of sexual misconduct. Oh wait I forgot, that would be profiling. Hehehehe
If that’s the best you’ve got, it proves the bankrupcy of your ideas.
129
Clinton never obstructed justice. He went along with the investigation. He would never lie would he….. oh never mind.
Clearly you cannot read. If teachers are moved, it is the fault of the adminstration. If there is evidence of wrong doing, get them and throw the book at them.
132- And Bush is cooperating with any investigations? New Orleans response, wire tapping, Abramoff association….and much, much more.
Holy Christ! RUFUS is still pushing the Foster “murder” bullshit?

It is a problem of government schools. That is why we need to open up education to choice. You donks know what freedom of choice is right, just think of killing babies. Thats it.
Again, you hate American values. Public education is another foundational value. If you want to make another choice, it is available. If you do not like what’s happening in your schools, become involved. You like to bitch. Have you ever volunteered? Do you know who the principals are in your local schools? Have you ever actually tried to get involved to change something you do not like? Served on a committee? Given your time?
Or is the extent of your involvement BIG LIES on open threads?
Government schools are run by citizen school boards. Ever been to a board meeting? Ever tried to run for office?
Easier to BIG LIE.

How about if you dont like the school your child is in you can change schools. How about having more schools to choose from. How about the schools run by people not government. How about changing the system. Why are you lefties against freedom of choice in where to send your child? Why should poor people get taxed for failing schools and have no other choice on where to send their child?

Government schools are run by buecrats who suck up most of who suck up most of the money before it even gets to the teacher. Seattle public schools spend almost 10k per child which doesnt even cover building maintenance and improvements. The private schools do a far better job educating children at a far less cost and they also supply the building. Nuff said
Government schools are run by buecrats who suck up most of who suck up most of the money before it even gets to the teacher.
As you can see I went to public school.
re 144: RUFUS: You need to take personal responsibility for your stupidity and quit blaming it on rich public school teachers who get big salaries and play all summer. You’re just jealous.
Doofus @ 144
Last time I checked, the teachers were doing significantly better than I ever did as a government lawyer, dollar-wise.
That’s because our Legislature rewards teachers for striking and punishes state employees for not striking by taking money away from non-striking state employees and giving it to striking teachers in order to pacify the teachers.
Despite that, I would rather have my little bunnies educated by a public school than not educated. Not everyone can afford private schools, you know. Most Democrat families can’t — something that Mike McGavick, who makes $15 million a year, probably wouldn’t comprehend.
Speaking of MIKE MCGAVICK, he’s running TV ads that talk about “responsibility” — and don’t mention he’s a Republican.
(His ads also don’t say he made $15 million a year as Safeco’s CEO while the policyholders and shareholders got fucked.)
I guess Mike doesn’t like the GOP label. Maybe because it’s poisonous these days. Or maybe Mike has decided he’d prefer to see his name like this:
U.S. Senator Mike McGavick (D-WA)
HEY MIKE you chicken turd whatsa matter are you SCARED to tell people you’re a REPUBLICAN?!! bawk bawk bu-uhk-cluck-cluck

Terrorist Seeks To Get Off the Hook Due To NSA Surveillance
by Jay on 02-04-06 @ 5:53 pm
Why does the ACLU seek FOIA file on the NSA Surveillance program? Perhaps this can shed a little light on the subject.
Back in December, Iyman Faris, the only named American target of the National Security Agency’s secret warrantless wiretap program announced his consideration of a lawsuit against the president of the United States. To accomplish this goal, his lawyer David Smith issued an all points bulletin for civil liberties attorneys and constitutional scholars interested in taking up his client’s case.
The offer comes at a time of concern among civil liberties attorneys, who worry that the courts may never get a chance to adjudicate the legality of President Bush’s secret wiretap program. “Courts don’t like to hear hypothetical matters,” said Barry Steinhardt, director of the ACLU’s Technology and Liberty program, who has been preparing for a court battle. “There has to be a real plaintiff with a real injury.
Despite Faris’ admitted guilt, civil libertarians were chomping at the bit to get him off the hook.
In many ways, Faris is not an ideal plaintiff for attorneys who hope to focus their case on whether the president abused his authority by spying on innocent Americans. Faris’ guilt is widely acknowledged, despite his recent claims of innocence. Among the evidence against him, prosecutors alleged that he sent a message to al-Qaida leadership in 2003 claiming that “the weather is too hot,” a signal that he could not follow through with his Brooklyn Bridge plan.
But if civil libertarians wait for the perfect case, they may have to forgo a legal challenge altogether. The targets of the secret NSA program are classified, and barring additional leaks, it is unclear how innocent American citizens would discover that they have been monitored. “The reality is that the people in Fourth Amendment cases are rarely the people you would invite over to dinner,” said Chris Hoofnagle, senior counsel to the Electronic Privacy Information Center.
The ACLU’s Steinhardt said he welcomed a phone call from Smith. “A likely route to this challenge is in the context of a criminal case,” he said.
So it is no suprise that yesterday, Faris’ lawyer asked a Federal judge to throw out his case due to the fact that he was spied on.
Iyman Faris’ challenge is among the first to seek evidence of warrantless electronic eavesdropping by the National Security Agency, a practice that began after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Government officials have reportedly credited the practice with uncovering Faris’ terrorist plot and several others.
A motion filed by Faris’ attorney David Smith in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Va., argues that investigators improperly obtained evidence against Faris and that his trial lawyer was ineffective.
Given the likelihood that Faris’ phone conversations or e-mails had been electronically monitored, Faris’ trial lawyer, Frederick Sinclair, should have asked for evidence of such surveillance, Smith said in the motion.
Nevermind the fact that Faris pleaded guilty to conspiracy and aiding and abetting terrorism, he is now backtracking on that. He now says his guilty plea was false.
And there are others trying to get their terror convictions overturned.
A lawyer for Ali al-Timimi, an Islamic scholar in northern Virginia serving a life sentence for exhorting followers to fight U.S. troops, has said he plans to challenge his case based on NSA involvement. So has an attorney for Adham Amin Hassoun, a Lebanese-born Palestinian living in Florida who is charged with being part of a cell dedicated to supporting violent Muslim extremists.

“A major U.S. intelligence review has projected that Iran is about a decade away from manufacturing the key ingredient for a nuclear weapon, roughly doubling the previous estimate of five years, according to government sources with firsthand knowledge of the new analysis…The carefully hedged assessments, which represent consensus among U.S. intelligence agencies, contrast with forceful public statements by the White House.“
Of course, those “forceful public statements by the White House” are otherwise known as LIES.
Daddy Love, It looks like the Iraq Air Force No. 2 said that Sadaam moved WMD to Syria by air and ground 30 days prior to the war while France and Russia bought delay time at the UN. BUSH LIED!!! BUSH LIED!! BUSH LIED!! Oh, he didn’t? ………… Never mind!! [SNL’s Roasanna Rosanndana]
Just like a Wingnut, JCH is now calling Sadam’s #2 an honest type of guy. Funny, seems their heroes are all the same. Sadam’s ex-enforcers, Koresh types, basically anyone that has fallen to the lowest level of the human scope. Hey JCH, you fit right in their with them!
Drivel, the Democrat Party is more of a threat to America than any terrorists. You are the parasites and losers who demand others pay your way. Atlas has Shrugged. Die in the cold winter, Grasshopper. The ants just don’t give a shit anymore.
Dear Muslims and Democrats, May I post a cartoon of Muhammad taking it from a pig “Democrat Tookie” style? Will you libs be “offended”? Will the Muslims burn down Honolulu? Will the Democrat muslims in Detroit robbed liquor stores, loot gas stations, and close down 8 Mile?
JCH you are absolutely right on one point in comment #158. Atlas has shrugged. And shit on your wimpy shoulders. Try preparation H, they tell me it will help with your inflamed rectum.
