Argh!! Can we ever boot these free spending clowns from Congress and get back to spending for things we really need, rather than uncontrollable pork-barrel spending on projects that benefit the few at high cost to the many? Seriously, I know that one man's pork is another's dinner, but yet again this year, the free-spenders, even when they claim to exercise

Reply #1 By: Citizen voodoostation - 11/19/2004 7:41:32 PM Guns were designed a couple hundred years ago for one purpose. Not to hang above a mantle to gather dust, but to kill. Whatever it was pointed at it was designed to kill. What it killed was at the discretion of the owner/user. How it was used was finally written as la
Reply #5 By: Citizen XX - 11/19/2004 8:43:06 PM Kinda funny, but I hope that's not a actual plan. It's only an actual plan if you ask most Democrats, or perhaps Michael Moore, who will film a documentary all about it during the next few years. <img src="../images/smiles/jokegrim.gif" border

Yes, there are a few (Thune, DeMint, Coburn come to mind) who wouldn't be acceptable but 3 out of 55 is a pretty small percentage. As for the Democrats switching, I can't think of any that the Republicans wouldn't welcome so 3 out of 97
Reply #39 By: CrispE - 11/16/2004 8:32:50 AM Terpfan: Saying that Specter would be welcomed by the Democratic Party is a weak argument because both parties would "welcome" anyone jumping sides....liberal, moderate, or conservative so the reality is that past history has nothing to do with that. <
Reply #40 By: Myrrander - 11/16/2004 9:32:35 AM Judges need not follow the GOP party line. If a judge looks at an anti-abortion bill and calls it unconstitutional because it is, then so be it. They've done their job. If they look at the same bill and decide to implement a totally different set of rules because they know bette
Myrr - I don't ask to shove Christianity down anyone's throat, but I do ask and/or expect that people like Michael Newdow will not be able to tell me and the rest of the country that we can't utter "under god" as part of the Pledge, or can't have even portions of the 10 commandments on the wall in a school or in a court house. Or that schools like VMI can't have prayer before meals. There's tolerance, and then there's shove it all away and ma

Reply #24 By: Myrrander - 11/15/2004 4:15:29 PM It seems that when judges follow the GOP party line, they are "good constructionists" but when they differ from the GOP party line they are "activist judges." At least be honest and say that you only want judges who rule the way you believe. That's all I'm asking for is some HON
Reply #2 By: Myrrander - 11/15/2004 3:58:53 PM I love it when people say "it's freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion." The statement "freedom of religion" must include people who want nothing to with religion whatsoever -- otherwise you'd have to have laws mandating that everyone has to go to a mosque, church, synago
