All you have to do is hit the abuse button and ask the Admin moderator nicely to remove the extra post.

I suspect Buchanan is enamored of the president’s communication strategy, hence the “running rings” analogy. It’s all smoke, but then that’s what former presidential speachwriters are paid to produce.

Inside Baseball... nothing more.

I’ve never voted for a RAT, either, and the next time will be the first time.

I knew before I could vote which party was against everything America stood for.

I did vote for a Communist once, when he was the only candidate running against the Dim. I wanted to make a stronger statement of disapproval for that particular candidate than just leaving the ballot unmarked. On maturer reflection, though, I’m not sure it was the right thing to do.

The Left never gives up; don’t you doubt it. Swat ‘em and watch ‘em close. The Communists have made startling inroads in lots of areas in this country. They fail in one country and MOVE ON to another, leaving piles of corpses in their wake.

The posting system needs a way for the author to edit or delete.

Part of the beauty of FR, is that once you say something, it's permanently inscribed on the record for all time. Keeps everyone honest.

Are you saying that you will vote for the arrogant pos, that currently resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave?

When the deadline arrives, hopefully w/o a GOP capitulation, we can still have an orderly fiscal process.

1. GOP must pass bills prioritizing spending with existing revenues. Debt services, defense, SS, Medicare, Medicaid. zero and Reid can stop this at their own peril.
2. Additional funding for other important government services will be required. Food inspection, border guards, passports etc. Specific bills, narrowly defined, can be appropriated for the most important activities in each agency. That way, we get bottom up financing, something very familiar with most American households. So, for example, if the msm creates a public outcry over national parks and the GOP feels the heat, well maybe they can get some specific funding for some of the most popular parks.

So if 0bama wants to fund ACORN, PC diversity manuals, and the EPA enforcement of exotic worms instead of releasing SS checks, that’s entirely up to him.

0bama is acting like the local school board. When they want more money, they first threaten to fire the math teachers while protecting the useless bureaucrats.

True to a degree

The forum masters routinely purge posting histories...like tony snow’s etc

Or just inflammatory stuff they don’t want seen later......for whatever reason...and posted by whomever

Especially as political realities shift

Used to be posts were cache even if purged
That ended...early....02 maybe

Liberalism/communism/marxism/Nazism/fascism, etc....

I am reading ALL of Ayn Rand’s books this summer.

Things she wrote in 1930s and 1940s and 50s and 60s - sound exactly like what we should be WARNED about today! It is amazing!

Lord! What did I write that gave you that idea!

Under no circumstances!! I’d rather eat a bullet than vote for the tyrant currently residing in the White HOuse!

What you wrote was

"I’ve never voted for a RAT, either, and the next time will be the first time".

Wouldn't the 2012 election be the next time?

Perhaps you meant to say the next time would be the first time?

I am glad though that you won't.

Management may purge posting histories in special circumstances, and for unique posters, but for all intents and purposes, what we post here is written in stone.
