Thank George Bush as well. He signed the bill into law."
I bring this up every time I get a phone call asking for a donation to the Republican Party. I haven't given them a dime since Bush signed CFR and am not likely ever to again.
Coming after me, Meehan? Let's get it on!
"I guess my blog will now become a newspaper....published yearly with updates available online."
Do you take campaign contributions?
Are you a 503c?
no and no? Then it doesn't affect you.
Moveon.org it affects.
Emmerson NO? WHAT THE HECK! She is generally known for being an excellent Republican here in Missouri. Too bad I am not in her district or I would be giving her the business end of a phone call to complain about her restricting the first ammendment.
Thankfully Blunt voted yes.
This is a bad day.
Can one of you please explain what the 2/3rds majority thing is all about? Is that specific to CFR in general, or have they been instituting new rules lately?
Porn, flag burning, Nazi parades are all protected speech though.
Bump
That vote is one of the clearest indicators of conservative vs DEMs & RINOs there ever was.
That's the guy... along with Wuss Feingold, the POTUS, the SCOTUS.... way to put a stop to freedom of speech.
"Then it doesn't affect you. "
So should I only be worried if it affects me?
Apprently, it was brought up on what is called the "suspension calendar" which is designed primarily for noncontroversial bills, like naming post offices and requires a 2/3 vote to "suspend the rules and pass the bill."
My guess is that the Republican leadership wanted the bill to fail. Or otherwise, the Rules Comittee would not schedule the bill for a normal vote, so the sponsor had to resort to he suspension route. Either way the GOP leadership sabotaged the bill. Anyone surprised?
If what McPain-Feingold started reaches its natural conclusion, we here on FR will only be able to discuss sports, trivia questions and whether fashion week in Paris/London/NYC met our expectations for the 90 days before every federal election.
The Internet will become what regular TV is, a mind numbing excuse for being alive while on the couch stuffing your mouth with soda and cheese chips.
Sounds like we are becoming Communist China cracking down on its internet users.
But Soros can keep funding his poison. grrrrrr
Well, they've gerrymandered and perfected vote fraud: there goes the ballot box.
They're working diligently to take away the soap box.
At this rate, there's only one box left.
Rep. Marty Meehan, D-Mass. is a member of Moveon.org. (That should explain everything). He was on C-Span today and said so while on the floor protesting. It's on tape. It looked like there were all of six people in the audience listening, very strange. Don't they require a certain attendance as these bills are debated? Was everyone out playing golf on this beautiful day or what? This guy is a left-wing loon. How can anyone take this guy seriously? It's actually sad and embarrassing that Marty Meehan got to be an elected official.
And yet John Conyers and Cynthia McKinney vote "Yes". Very strange.
No, it will simply turn FR into a Soviet style tea room where actual names of politcal parties and candidates will be substituted with nicknames, such as Babar or Francis, houses of congress as "master bedroom" for Senate as upper house and kitchen or parlor as "House of Rep" as lower house. It will be fun!
<< What 1st Amendment? >>
The one President ["RINO?"] Bush abrogated at the instant [During time he took off from protecting our nation's sovereign borders, criminalizing America's normal and ordinary business activities, (Sarbannes-Oxley) presiding over the worst-ever blantant corruption of and most-profligate-ever feral spending and appointing inept cronies to high office] he signed McCain/Feingold.
That First Amendment.
