As many here on Gather are aware, I have been working diligently to unseat Tom De Lay Republican Sue Kelly here in New York's 19th district, and feel I am more plugged into the elections nationwide than most are. As this election cycle has unfolded, it is obvious that the Republican Majority has lost it's moral company, and has nothing left in their bag of tricks but lies, deceits, and if necessary the actually brutal beating up on and attack on a Internet Blogger using his Freedom of Speech to ask a Republican Senatorial Candidate a question he would rather not face. Let's Look at what the Republican Party now seems to stand for in America.
In Tennessee, Corker has shown his true tighty whitey bigoted racist inner-self by allowing a racial toned attack piece to run against his opponent Harold Ford. Corker seems willing to stoop to any trick, any lie to win this seat, but if the people of Tennessee have any self pride and dignity, the racially toned commercial should be enough to send this bigoted white boy back to the mountains where he can beat his wife, smack his children, and have sex with his sheep...WHAT, cannot stand having the tactic reversed, cannot stand those stereotypes? Then don't vote for Corker, as the man has shown he is a world class sleaze ball.
God FORBIDE the Republicans lose one of their firewall Senate seats, so they figured out a way to top the dirty tricks of race bater Corker in defending Talent out in Missouri against a fine candidate in McCaskill...what did they do you might ask? They send Pillsbury Dough Boy, Rush Limbaugh to the airwaves to accuse Michael J. Fox of FAKING his Parkinson's disease, and even worse, this drug addicted fat pompous ass had the audacity to mimic Michael J Fox's twitches on the air.
OF course, Virginia's George Allen has stooped to more low life gutter behaviors than Swamp Rat on steroids with not one, but three separate actions that rise to a point of having his career ended, him being sent packing in disgrace along with Mark Foley, Duke Cunningham and Tom DeLay. First, he tosses out racial epitaphs at his opponents staffer, then pretends he MADE THE WORD UP! As the scandal broke across America, further developments showed us he had a penchant in his college days for using the N word. In the closing weeks of the election, and fighting for his job, he decided to ATTACK his opponents morals because of passages he'd written in published books. Surprised that George Allan's staffers did not include a book burning in the commercial.
Perhaps George Allen should look at the lusty lesbian overtones of Mrs, Cheney's early published work. Then there is the daughter-in-law (Francine Torres-Kelly) of Republican Congresswoman Sue Kelly of New York (more on her in a bit) who as an actress with the American Repertory Theatre has played some parts, spoken some words that would make even James Webb (decorated war veteran, and George Allen's opponent) blush. Using George Allen's measuring stick, perhaps we should stone Sue Kelly's daughter for being involved in such TAUDRY productions? Using George Allen's Republican thinking process on all things moral, we would all know that most artists, actors and actresses are of low moral character, use drugs, drink to excess, and are sexually promiscuous, and if that is true, what kind of values was/is she teaching her children for her son to have married and ACTRESS? GEE, maybe it was no accident that Sue Kelly was in charge of the Page Board after all when Mark Foley, drunk, was trying to force his way into the Page Dorm back in the year 2000!
Yet, George Allen was not finished, his staff yesterday showed us they were not finished when it came to dirty deeds done dirt cheap when they ATTACKED a blogger who wanted to ask Senator Allen about the accusation he SPIT on his first wife. I've not met George Allen, but the more I read about him, have to wonder if his knuckles still drag the ground when he walks. Mike Stark, a first year law student and citizen of Virginia tried to use his first amendment rights when he was BRUTALLY ATTACKED, and thrown viscously into a plate glass window. Keep in mind, Senator Allen saw himself as a Presidential Candidate in the 2008 elections.
Here in New York, several Republicans seeking re-election have a host of ethics problems, including our own Sue Kelly. First, we have Congressman Sweeney, who has his own mini-Mark Foley moment when he was photographed DRUNK at a college frat party with his arm loving around the shoulder of a young man...hmmmmm. In late breaking news on this man, it seems that his wife may have CALLED POLICE on him claiming spousal abuse! GREAT, another knuckle dragger that thinks nothing about beating women while espousing STRONG Republican Family Moral Values...tell me Republicans, is WIFE BEATING Christian Republican value you embrace in your candidates?
Starting with our own Sue Kelly and Tom Reynolds, we have a host of Republican members of Congress who KNEW about Mark Foley, but chose to HIDE HIM, and his CRIMES AGAINST OUR CHILDREN. We have Boehner from Ohio who when confronted by the press said he PASSED IT OFF to Tom Reynolds, his Boss. Not wanting the hot potatoe to burn his political chances, Tom Reynolds said he did what any employee would do, and gave it to his Supervisor! Sure, Congressmen and women see other members of Congress as their supervisors....who are we kidding? Reynolds has raised 100's of millions of dollars, and now he suddenly claims employee status and says he passed it off to his boss, one Dennis Hastert, the Speaker of the House! Hastert claimed faulty memory, then blamed the whole public mess on the Democrats.....oh, and Sue Kelly....she claimed NOTHING HAPPENED ON HER WATCH as Chairwoman of the Page Board, then when that was proved untrue, she claimed NO KNOWLEDGE of the events! Sure Sue, we believe you....NOT. When the press tried to speak further to Sue Kelly on this matter, she was seen RUNNING AWAY, which is what her whole re-election campaign has been about. Running away from her declaration that the War in Iraq was over, and we had won. Running away from questions about her close ties to the same pool of PAC money that made Jack Abramoff infamous, and running away from having a debate on the real issues of this campaign.
These are all new and recent scandals, examples of a morally bankrupt Republican Party, but not the only ones. Cunningham is in prison, Robert Ney has been sentenced to prison, Tom DeLay is under indictment, and when Mark Foley comes out of hiding, he'll also be under indictment. Two members of White House staff have been convicted for crimes in office, and Scooter Libby is under indictment for outing a CIA agent. The blood of almost 3,000 American fighting men and women are on the hands of Rumsfeld, Cheney and Bush for their MAJORLY FLAWED "Stay The Course" policy in Iraq. Many may have missed it last night in the whirlwind of Kerry's statements, but Rumsfeld and Bush officially admitted defeat in Iraq when they caved into radical cleric Sadr's demands to lift the blockades...in doing so, they have walked away from the search for one of our missing heroes, shown themselves to be devoid of a backbone.
The winds of change are blowing throughout America, and we have a chance this November 7th to send a strong clear signal to Washington, that business as usual is over, and that we want a change in course.

have lost their moral compass and should be voted out of office. I agree
with Joe. Newt Gringrich says Americans have had enough of Republican corruption
and high spending. Newt says the Republicans must go.
Not since the Nixon administration has one president had so many scandals and indictments handed down in his administration. Not only that, there are the civil suits against most of the heavy hitters in his administration, including ones against both Cheney and Rumsfeld.
Abortion is LEGAL, it is a question of choice. Stop trying to legislate your morals onto the rest of America...by the way, curious here, how many children have you aDOPTED? If the answer is ZERO, you are morally bankrupt, and have no business being PRO LIFE there buckwheat.
Illegals gone....HELLO....Republican controlled Congress, Senate and White House, and in Bush's time in office, another SIX FREAKING MILLION ILLEGAL BASTARDS ARE HERE IN AMERICA....Republicans are doing jack chit for you.
Stepping up with our ideas. Democrats put two positions forward to start a discussion, both ideals were dismissed by the administration when they said, 'We don't like that idea, it's a NON STARTER, give us another one". WE have put up TWO, Bush administration has out up NONE, content to watch our soldiers being killed IED's.
As for Clinton's blow job....SO WHAT. Bush used cocaine, was a drunkard and still is, and my sources tell me he paid for a girlfriends abortion. Top that off with being AWOL, and that man has NO CLAIM ON MORALS. Cheney....he used to walk around his house in his underware with children around....maybe that explains his daughter's sexual orientation? Two White House staffers have been convicted of crimes, and Mark Foley has been preying on our children, and if rumors are too be believed, Melhman has ravished a few himself, and supposedly Roves two wives are cover for his love of men. You want to have the VALUES argument Cliffy boy, bring it on.
and they need to be outsted on nov 7 06
as far as Abortion...
My wife and I have 2 every beautiful little girls that were born to a 14 year old teenager in Nebraska that her disfunctional family couldn't educate her against premarital sex. I didn't have to go over seas and buy a third world child when their are plenty right here in America that need a good home. My brother and his wife adopted two newborn girls after raising their own children, My wife and I have been blessed with a son and we both work in the medical field, she a nuese and i am a rad tech and can give these kids the future they deserve. We don't go to church, but We believe in God and trust that he will take care of us, in anyway he sees fit. So far my faith has not failed me. You want to talk Morals... you have to have them before you can talk about them. If your willing to take a life for the chance that it may save a sick person like Micheal J Fox (sorry his has MS) then you have no morals as well as no common since. Kill to save?
Illegal mexicans are a drain on our economy... My wife and I see daily what happens to a hospital's budget when illegals come in and give birth to a child and then have no way of paying and really has no intentions of paying their bills, I own a business and see the impact on our taxes as well as our local law enforcement budget, they don't just come here to give birth , they bring the illegals drugs and crime. and of corse you would blame Bush for that because you still have no solutions other then... "discussions". Talk is cheap and Bush signed the bill for the fence on our southern border. Actions speak louder then bull shit words.
You want to talk about Foley insted of giving answers to the real problems, I have no problem what so ever getting rid of Foley...what if did was wrong and there is no excuse for it, but Democrats not only did little to Rep. Studs but they gave him a standing ovation when he retured... and he did have sex with a page...not just e-mail.
and From Your words... " and if rumors are too be believed, Melhman has ravished a few himself, and supposedly Roves two wives are cover for his love of men." Again you have to use romor not fact to spin your mud slinging...shows lack of investigation and it shows you don't care about the truth... all you care about is you MINORITY beliefs...
This country was founded on Christianic beliefs and there for if you don't want English as your langauge of choice then leave... see how far you get in a 3rd world nation that doesn't allow your ability to speak freely... The things I am sick of is the bad mouthing of our President, our race, our culture and our religion...America is dying and your helping the poison to kill her. Don't talk ill about my nation that I defended for 11 years and don't talk about my Military that defends you hourly 24/7 without a word of thanks... Don't talk about morals when you can stand there and tell me that aboution is a choice and not murder. But yet you would be the first to bitch when we kill a serial killer on death row... criminals have more rights then a newly conseved child...what kind of bull shit is that. Lets hit the real issues and that is Security, Economy, Health Care, Illegals coming over the border and the War against terrorist.
Clinton took the Oval office and made it a standing joke and now because Bush has a great relationship with his wife and that he has normal daughters that get into trouble as do alot of teenagers these days...you want to make a huge deal about it. when in fact it is just a way to cover your own lack of stability. None of us are perfect nor do we expect anyone to be...so if you want the perfect President...move to Iran and buy into their program because they will at least die for him...as i would die for MY PRESIDENT.
Illegals...check my postings on Gather...you will be hard pressed to find any one on here that ones the illegals dealt with more than I do. Curious, did you READ the bill the president signs that SUPPOSEDLY authorizes the fence? It was simply put, a publicity stunt just before the election. It is and UNFUNDED MANDATE, in short a worthless piece of garbage! I want serious work place enforcement, want people like the Catholics who are aiding and abetting illegals charged with a felony, I want deportation of any one here illegally, and I want a freaking wall. Further, I'd put 50 thousand heavily armed troops on our Southern Border to stop the flood of illegals, and illegal drugs into America, and I'd back them up with Marine Warthogs and Black Hawk's. Mexico would get a REAL QUICK CLUE.
You should be honored for your service to America in the Armed Forces...so should I.
The war on terror...I live in New York, I'd love us to be fighting the War on Terror, as soon as Democrats straighten out the mess in Iraq, and bring our troops back home. Bush went into Iraq to AVENGE HIS FATHER....curious here, do you know the first time George Bush mentioned Saddam and Weapons of Mass Destruction? I do, and I know how he and his administration over time started subtly changing the message and accusations where the man was concerned.
The supposed CHRISTIAN values of the Republican Party....give me a break.
So, if you want to split hairs, you are correct, but he did intimate they should lose.
Democrats and liberials want to cut and run like they did in Veitnam and thats why we lost that conflict (which by the way was led by Democrats). We won WW2 by 2 really big bombs (which was led by a Republican) and it stopped the war instantly. we need to back our troops up to a safe distance and turn that area into a green glass bowl. It is a war of good against evil and the good is losing because they are not allowed to use all the weapons at their disposal. And we are only losing in the eyes of the liberial media. We lost 45,000 men at D-day...we lost only under 3000 in Iraq thus far, and what you don't want to know is how many we lose just in all the training centers in the nation on a daily basis. It would blow your socks off. Trust me when I tell you that in the very near future it won't be you bitching about someone like Bush... it will be the poor sapp in office when we are nuked and the country goes into total caos... I almost welcome it... because I know that I will defend my family and area against anyone that even looks like they are a threat, we have the right to bear arms and I do to a large degree. same as my friends and naighbors. remember the U.S Military isn't the largest armed force in this country...It's we the people.
We lost Vietnam, walked out of Vietnam under a Republican President in Richard Nixon. Secondly, we lost that war because it was a police action instead of a war, and we kept our soldiers hands tied behind their backs....just like Bush is doing in Iraq. We are losing, because Bush and Rumsfeld misjudged, and did not have enough troops on the ground to WIN THE PEACE.
We are down to only TWO CHOICES in Iraq. The first choice, is to up the number of boots on the ground to around 500,000 and crank back up to WAR STATUS and take out the militia's, not stopping until there is a full and complete surrender, just as we did with the Germans and Japanese back in World War II. We are about to lose Lebanon to Hezbollah because they believe America is too tied down in Iraq to do anything to stop them, and with the deplorable job being done by both Bush and Rumsfeld, they are correct.
Right to bear arms....I can drop a 12 point buck at 150 yards with my PSE150 Crossbow....trust me, I know all about my rights to bear arms, and if the need arises will have no problems in doing so.
Regarding my article on stem cells - you need to read my comments and you'll understand that what is being "thrown away" is really human life. If you want to talk about that - let's do it over on that forum.
Illegals - agree. The fence - it's a start. Small and a show, yes, but it's better than the "virtual" fence the Dems are talking about.
Thank you for your service to our country.
The Dems straighten Iraq out?????????? They are the ones who in 1998 and again in 2002 talked about how bad Hussein was and the dangers he posed with his WMDs. Check this site out to see their own words and the sources of their quotes: http://www.newamericancentury.org/iraq-20040623.htm#top.
As far as this Bush hate thing you've got going on - take it easy, ulcers aren't good.
And I don't get your last line about Christian values and the Repub party.
Stem Cells....we are not going to see eye to eye. I'm pro- choice here, and support full federal funding of ALL stem cell research.
What I do know....I'll be working hard all day on Election Day, and will be posted at the Hotel where our candidate is headquartered for election day, and am looking for it to be a LONG but successful night for Democrats, and think we have a real good chance here of being a Congressional Seat going from Red to Blue that is not even on the list right now.
And I have a Howt extreme 3000 and can fire a blunt tip 315 feet per sec. and 90 yards is the best I can do with a 3 inch group so I guess we can both handle a bow but In the Military I was a weapons specialist with 30 cals, 50 cals, 308 sniper rifle, m60 M203's , M16's 38's 45's and LAR rockets, not to mention... AR47's and other enemy weapons. So my point being...Democrats are known to try and take away our rights to have guns, they are known to try and stop our War making capability, which in turn henders our defense. I am big enough to admit when I am wrong but I am not wrong about our President being the best choice we had from the John Kerry's or the Al Gore's and yes even the Bill Clinton's. You better pray that Hitlary Clinton doesn't become President because we will be screwed then.
Following the vote, Craig stated, "I have consistently voted for more effective border security, and I continued that. Border security is homeland security. Many of the gains in border security we have seen over the last couple of years are initiatives I spearheaded or supported.
"Americans need to realize, though, that true border security will not be in place until we have a workable temporary worker program in place and process the 12 million undocumented workers already in the United States. Creating a process to screen and track those who want to come here legally to work will allow us to steer resources toward catching those who want to do us harm."
The Senate also approved the Fiscal Year 2007 Homeland Security Appropriations bill, which is loaded with border security funding. The bill appropriates $25.58 billion for border and transportation security, including:
1,500 additional border patrol agents
$1.187 billion for border security fencing, infrastructure, and technology
2,700 new detention beds
$30 million to enhance worksite enforcement
$183 million for fugitive operations
$137 million for the criminal alien program
$43 million for alternatives to detention
$30 million for infrastructure improvements at detention centers
Mary, you have missed the whole point, if a dem does it, it is a-ok with the dems. For once O'Reilly has a point, these people need to stop drinking so much kool-aid.
As for Bush...if the Dems take both the House and Senate, he may end up being a non issue within about six months.
