If there’s nothing else you can do but do stunts, then do stunts.

>> DeMint’s problem is lack of foxhole buddies.

That’s where a *real* leader would show his stuff and cobble together some of his own. You think a Ronald Reagan wouldn’t be able to whip ten (R)s into line to support needed legislation?

How true, and DeMint’s problem is also his senior colleague, Lovable Lindsey.

We’ve been had, and in many ways, by Bush also.

We've done it too ourselves because our voters are so uninformed. And the Bush problem goes all the way back to Prescott Bush, whom Bill Clinton skillfully "praised" in the 1992 debate so that the first Bush felt compelled to agree with. I am not even sure that the first Bush knew about his father's Senate record. He seemed so surprised in that "debate."

“You must be for Precious?”

Demint/Hunter 2012? LOLOLOL. How long did you have to look to find an article tha mentioned Demint? Demint is a candy @$$ for not telling Graham cracker like it really is. Plus he hasn’t come to the defense of the gub candidate, so HE must be a RINO. Go back to your Falcon party page and bore yourself to death. Palin would kick his @$$ in a Dallas minute and that really pi$$es you off. BTW, most on here are for “Precious” so you are in a distinct minority.

Yep. It’s best you ringwraiths kneecap DeMint now to see if you can discourage him from running for Prez. Because Palin won’t stand a chance against him.

Hollywood is illusional and causes delusions. You’d best be watching Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs or old reruns of Howdy Doody.

A true conservative can like Palin and Demint and prefer one over the other. A Dem shill or flack wants to destroy the candidate that scares them the most. Your obvious hatred of Palin destroys any conservative credentials you might claim to have and attempting diversionary balderdash with your one track RINO mind is laughable.

But please keep up your clown act. We need impostors like you to up the entertainment value.

Yep. If you don’t love Precious, then you can’t be a conservative. That’s just brilliant.

Your scene was not too far off from what really happened.

http://earlyradiohistory.us/sec013.htm

GOVERNMENT CONTROL AND PREPARATIONS

The introduction of vacuum-tube equipment promised to revolutionize radio. However, all amateur and commercial use of radio came to an abrupt halt on April 7, 1917 when, with the entrance of the United States into World War One, most private U.S. radio stations were ordered by the President to either shut down or be taken over by the government, and for the duration of the war it became illegal for private U.S. citizens to even possess an operational radio transmitter or receiver. Radio in the U.S. had become a government monopoly, reserved for the war effort. Amateur radio operators were particularly hard hit by the restrictions.

Of course it’s brilliant; that’s why I’m smart and you’re not.
