WOW! Thanks for the link! How precious the Lord is! Stand FIRM and see the hand of the Lord work to dissolve the enemies camp! I feel in my heart that the Lord is going to use Mr. Bush as an example, because of his faithfulness towards Jesus, God is going to show us his POWERFUL HANDY WORK! God is about to show us HIS mighty hand in dealing with the demons of this earth, aka the RATS! DO NOT FRET, the Lord is using Mr. Bush to show his children HIS awesome power! Watch God melt the rats like wax! How do I know this? Simple, God speaks to whoever seeks his face and cries out to him...The Lord said; I will in no way cast you out! Continue to pray for our President, his family and administration. These are times of sorrow, but soon we will be dancing in JOY again!

You got that right sister. The man is on a mission. I have been out all day and have heard no news but I do know that I hate the Dems with a greater passion than ever felt before. AND THE MEDIA - what a bunch of scumbags. Our paper again had a bunch of negative articles of W - all reprints from the Washington Post, of course. I intend on making some nasty calls tomorrow. Also heard some clinton hack as I walked in the door on Hardball talking about "prosecuting Bush." Is this for real? The Dems don't give a darn about the country; it is so sickening.

Sorry about the news, I am so steamed. Everyone should call local papers who ran those scum stories, the tv stations that carried them, and the DNC. Then hit your Congressman and Senators!

Tell them you are sick of this crap! Have facts from the articles by Byron York and the comments from the stockbroker who handled the transaction!

Remember how hard we faought in Florida! We can win again, but we ALL have to make an effort! One little call to one paper...that is a start!

I am annoyed with the Democrats and the infested media.
I watch Fox all the time, that is my best escape. And even then, we hear too much from that little worm from S. Dakota and the beady eyed one from MO.
Hopefully we will be rid of them soon.

I absolutely LOVE the first pix of the president -- take that RATS!!

Pix #5 in post 8 tugs at my heart -- he looks as though he's carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders (which of course he is!!)

I just HATE the media whores; I hate the RAT whores (McAuliffe, Carville, Begala, Daschle, et al); and I hate the legal whores (Klayman). Ahhhhhhh, that feels better -- catharsis is good for the soul!!!

ACTION ALERT: I encourage all of you to call Klayman at 888-JW-ETHIC (Question: what does Klayman know about ethics?!)

Before I bid farewell for the evening, I want to provide you with some RAT ammunition that I gleaned from my GOP Team Leader:

Clinton/Gore Always Had An Excuse (Or Two)
July 8, 2002

ERA OF IRRESPONSIBILITY
Scandal After Scandal, Revelation After Revelation
Clinton/Gore Always Had An Excuse (Or Two)


Is Daschle Talking About Corporate America Or Gore And The Clinton Years? Sounds Like Gore: "It's as if the line between right and wrong, legal and illegal, acceptable and unacceptable was so little enforced that it became blurred." (Adam Clymer, "Lawmakers Pour Their Politics Straight," The New York Times, July 1, 2002

ASSORTED EXCUSES

"An Accounting Error" Was The Reason Soft Money Was Used To Directly Fund The Re-Election Campaign Of Bill Clinton? The DNC violated Federal election laws when it used soft money to directly fund Bill Clinton's 1996 re-election campaign. According to FEC documents and interviews with contributors, the DNC did not receive permission by the donors to use the soft money for hard money purposes. "'We sought to obtain the donor's permission,' Peter J. Kadzin, a lawyer for the committee, said. 'In certain instances, that permission was not obtained and that allocation was made to hard-money accounts due to an accounting error.'" (Don Van Natta, Jr., "Campaign Finance: The Transfers," The New York Times, September 10, 1997)


DNC Officials Suggested That A "Computer Default Error" And "Sloppiness" Was To Blame For Donors Reporting DNC Headquarters As Their Home Address. Thirty-one Democrat donors, many with foreign surnames, listed the address of DNC Headquarters as their home address in 1996. "[Amy Weiss] Tobe, the DNC spokeswoman, told U.S. News the repetition of address was caused by 'computer default error' and by 'sloppiness' on the part of those who entered the data. She said no one at the DNC 'knowingly violated federal election rules.'" (Joyce Price, "31 Donors List DNC As 'Home' Address," The Washington Times, October 28, 1996)

Former DNC Chairman Romer Cited "Pure, Innocent Oversight" As The Reason The DNC Was Over Three Months Late In Submitting Subpoenaed Documents. The DNC was over three months late in delivering subpoenaed documents to a Senate committee examining campaign finance abuses by the DNC in 1997. "[DNC Chairman Roy] Romer said yesterday that the failure to discover the documents earlier was the result of 'pure, innocent oversight.'" (Bob Woodward, "Senate Panel Probes DNC Files Delay," The Washington Post, August 8, 1997)

A DNC Spokesman Called Contributions From Individuals Who Donated Within Days Of Attending White House Events "A Coincidence." In 1996, Pauline Kanchanalak, a Taiwanese business executive who has visited with Clinton at least ten times at the White House, donated $135,000 to the DNC just one day after her most recent trip to the White House to discuss U.S. policy in China. "As for the timing, a spokesman for the DNC says it was 'a coincidence because there's no sticker price to go to White House events. If someone decides to give after going to a DNC-sponsored event, there's nothing wrong with that.'" ("What's Next For The White House?" The [Albany] Times Union, December 29, 1996)

A DNC Official Claimed The Idea That The Democrat Party Arranged For Donors To Stay At The White House "Has Become An Urban Myth." In 1996, it was revealed that "[m]ore than 75 people who contributed to or raised money for President Clinton or the Democratic Party have spent the night in the Clinton White House, according to a new study by the Center for Public Integrity. . . . The White House, the Clinton reelection campaign and the Democratic Party dismissed the report's findings. Democratic National Committee press secretary Amy Weiss Tobe said the idea that the party arranged for contributors to stay at the White House 'has become an urban myth, like the alligators in the sewers of New York. It is just not true.'" (Ruth Marcus, "Many Backers Spent Night At White House, Study Says," The Washington Post, August 25, 1999)

A White House Aide Testifying Before The Senate Whitewater Committee Said That Hillary Clinton's Missing Law Firm Billing Records Mysteriously "Appeared There," Two Years After Being Subpoenaed. White House aide Carolyn Huber, testifying before a Senate Whitewater Committee, said that she found Hillary Clinton's missing Rose Law Firm billing records "in plain view, atop a pile of books on the corner of a table in a White House residence book room" in August 1995, two years after they were subpoenaed by investigators and four months before they were released to the special prosecutor. "'I don't think I would have missed them,' Huber said, fueling allegations of a cover-up. 'They appeared there . . . I would it had been left there for me to take down to put in the file - you know, to file in the filing that I do.' Huber, special assistant to the president in charge of personal correspondence, said 'someone' left the records out for her on purpose. But she stopped short of saying it was the Clintons." (Charles V. Zehren, "A White House Aide Locates Rose Firm Billing Documents," The New York Newsday, January 19, 1996)

The Clinton White House Asserted That "Inadvertence And The Press Of Business" Was The Reason That They Had Not Corrected Inaccurate Testimony To Congress. "The White House discovered in 1995 that its former chief of administration had given inaccurate testimony to Congress but failed to correct the matter with House members until last week, documents show. The White House is calling the incorrect testimony an honest mistake and says its failure to promptly correct the matter when it was discovered was due to 'inadvertence and the press of business' according to a letter obtained by The Associated Press." (John Solomon, "White House Errs Again In Testimony To Congress," The Chattanooga Free Press, March 2, 1997)

The Clinton White House Claimed Believed A "Bureaucratic Snafu" Was The Reason The White House Security Office Collected FBI Files On Former Bush And Reagan Staffers. In 1996, it was revealed that Clinton's White House Security Office collected at least 900 FBI confidential background files on people, mostly on former Bush and Reagan staffers. "The White House and Democrats in Congress have repeatedly said that the mess was merely a 'bureaucratic snafu' and 'there is no evidence' files were misused." ("Politics Aside, Character Questions Demand Answers," USA Today, October 16, 1996)

In March 2000, White House Counsel Beth Nolan Testified That The Missing Emails Were Due In Part To "Unintentional Human Error." Former White House computer operations chief Sheryl L. Hall accused the White House of hiding thousands of emails containing information on Filegate, Chinagate, campaign finance abuses and Monica Lewinsky, all of which were under subpoena by a federal grand jury and three congressional committees. (Jerry Seper and Andrew Cain, "White House Accused Of Cover Up," The Washington Times, February 15, 2000) According to the testimony of White House Counsel Beth Nolan on March 30, 2000, the missing emails were due in part to "unintentional human error associated with an extraordinary electronic records archiving system." (Testimony of White House Counsel Beth Nolan, House Committee On Government Reform, March 30, 2000)

In January 1997, Clinton Said He "Didn't Know" That His Friend, Webb Hubbell, Had Been Hired By The Lippo Group And Was Being Paid In Excess Of $200,000. Clinton friend Webb Hubbell resigned in a scandal from the Justice Department and went to jail for embezzlement. Just before going to jail, Hubbell was hired by the Lippo Group and paid a salary in excess of $200,000. Some had suggested that this money was offered to encourage silence before the Whitewater investigator. In January 1997, Clinton responded: "First of all, I didn't know about it. To the best of my recollection, I didn't know anything about his having that job until I read about it in the press." (Bill Clinton, White House Press Conference, January 31, 1997)

"NO CONTROLLING LEGAL AUTHORITY"

The "Solicitor In Chief" Hides Behind "No Controlling Legal Authority." On March 3, 1997, prompted by allegations that he made illegal fundraising calls from the White House, then Vice President Gore invoked the "no controlling legal authority" defense seven different times in a single press conference:

One . . . "My counsel - Charles Burson is my counsel here - my counsel advises me that there is no controlling legal authority or case that says that there was any violation of law whatsoever in the manner in which I asked people to contribute to our reelection campaign."

Two . . . "And my counsel advises me - let me repeat - that there is no controlling legal authority that says that any of these activities violated any law.

Three . . . "My counsel tells me there is no controlling legal authority that says there was any violation of any law . . . As a matter of policy, I've decided that I'm not going to do that."

Four . . . "As a matter of law, there is no - according to my counsel - there is no controlling legal authority, no case ever decided that says that is a violation of law . . ."

Five . . . "And, again, I'm advised that there is no controlling legal authority that says this was any violation of law . . ."

Six . . . "In reviewing the matter, my counsel advise me there's no case, there's no controlling legal authority that says that violates the law . . ."

Seven . . . "I'm advised that there is no case or no controlling legal authority that says it is a violation of the law." (Al Gore, White House Press Conference, The Associated Press, March 3, 1997)

Gore Squirms And Misleads The F.B.I. During the course of the Justice Department's campaign finance investigation, Al Gore was interviewed by Department of Justice attorneys and F.B.I. agents on three separate occasions. (Larry Margasak, "Clinton Told Justice He Didn't Recall Fundraising Calls," The Associated Press, December 16, 1999) He was questioned about his "no controlling legal authority" fundraising calls from his White House office twice, and whether or not soft and hard money splits were discussed. He first indicated that the calls were not discussed and then indicated that they may have only be discussed in passing. (FBI Interview, Al Gore, November 11, 1997.)

Shades Of Enron And Worldcom: Gore Just Can't Tell the Truth. During an August 8, 1998, interview conducted by the F.B.I., Gore just couldn't recall what happened:

"Although Vice President Gore could not specifically recall what was said or discussed at this meeting, he did recall that the DNC budget was discussed, along with activities relating to commercials and the direct mail campaign."
"He reiterated that he does not have a specific recollection of anything talked about at that meeting."
"He stated that he did not recall anyone saying, or any discussion regarding 65% soft / 35% hard. He also did not recall anything being said about hard/soft relating to the media fund, or about the media fund having a hard component."
"He did not recall the statement, 'corporate or anything over 20K from an individual,' being made at this meeting, nor any type of discussion concerning the definition of soft money."
"He did not specifically recall the quote, seemingly attributed to him, 'is it possible to do a reallocation for me to take more of the events and the calls?' He offered that although he could not recall this quote at this meeting, it sounds like the kind of thing he would have said, and he probably did say it."
"He also could not recall another quote on that page, also seemingly attributed to him, 'count me in on the calls.' This was also in keeping with something he would have said."
"The Vice President concluded by saying that Strauss is a truthful and diligent person. If he took those notes at the 11/21/95 meeting, the Vice President would not dispute that what is reflected in the notes was said at the meeting. Vice President Gore simply did not hear those things said." (FBI Interview, Al Gore, August 8, 1998.)
Can You Believe The Iced Tea Defense? During the same August 8, 1998, is same interview, Gore even suggested to the F.B.I. that he might have been absent from meetings when fundraising calls were discussed because of his consumption of cold beverages:

"The Vice President also observed that he drank a lot of iced tea during meetings, which could have necessitated a restroom break." (FBI Interview, Al Gore, August 8, 1998)
Hey Al, What About This Controlling Legal Authority? On August 20, 1998, The New York Times reported that a Democratic National Committee memorandum dated November 20, 1995, had surfaced with handwritten notes by Gore's Deputy Chief of Staff, David Strauss, indicating that Gore was present at a meeting when hard money contributions and fundraising calls were discussed. (David Johnston, "New Questions Over Gore Role As Fund-Raiser," The New York Times, August 20, 1998)

GORE'S "SHIFTING AND TECHNICAL RESPONSES"

Initially, Gore Claimed That A Fundraiser At A Buddhist Temple Was A "Community Outreach" Event, But Later He Admitted He Knew The Event Was "Finance-Related" Or A "Donor Maintenance" Event. "Democratic officials have long conceded that it was a political error to have the event at a religious site that is not supposed to engage in partisan politics. That raises the related matter of whether Gore and his staff knew-or should have known-that the event was a fundraiser. Gore's shifting and technical responses on this question-he first said it was 'community outreach,' then acknowledged that it was 'finance-related' or a 'donor maintenance' event-appear only to have added to his difficulties." (The Washington Post, February 27, 2000)

"Community Outreach Event." When the scandal first broke in October 1996, before the election, Gore claimed, "It was billed as a community outreach event." (Al Gore, National Public Radio's "Morning Edition," October 22, 1996)
"Finance-Related Event." After the election when Congress subpoenaed documents related to the event, Gore's staff acknowledged, "[Gore] knew it was a finance-related event." (Gore Spokesperson Lorraine Voles, The Associated Press, January 14, 1997)
"I Did Not Know." Yet, even after the documents were made public, Gore continued to claim in January 1997: "I did not know that it was a fundraiser." (Al Gore, NBC's "Today," January 25, 1997)
"Donor-Maintenance Meeting." Later in 1997, "[m]eeting with reporters on Tuesday, a top aide to Mr. Gore offered a new description, calling the event [at the Buddhist Temple] a 'donor-maintenance' meeting." (The New York Times, September 5, 1997)
"I Should Have Known." And just last week, Gore still refused to admit he knew the event was a fundraiser: "I made a mistake. I should have known that it was related to fundraising. I did not. But the very fact that I was there was a mistake." (Al Gore, San Francisco Chronicle, February 28, 2000)

In my opinion, Klayman has a scam going

Yeah, he realized that today's big money is in donations from democrats.

Brit Hume said tonight that Klayman's latest lawsuit was mentioned on all three broadcast news shows, adding something about the fact that it was the first time Peter Jennings had ever uttered the words "Larry Klayman." I did not hear the whole statement from Brit, but apparently all the lawsuits that Judicial Watch brought against the Clintons and their administration were never newsworthy enough to reach the level of the big three network programs, according to Lexis-Nexis searches.

No, ohio, you're not reading too much into that picture. I believe the man is just plain out to get the work done and he doesn't have time to stroll around and eat at McDonald's like that guy who used to pretend to be a president.

maica, one silver lining in that cloud is that the Democrats are now wasting their money by sending it to Klayman. Hope they send him millions and millions.
