I saw his statement. That was righteous, he made a decison as a minister, a Missouran and a MAN!
He had no idea he'd be the AG ... at that time Bush wasn't even the Prez. He did the right thing for a grieving wife and mother. George W Bush found his honest and trustworthy AG that day. Folks here who smear Ashcroft as some conspiratorial fascist will never escape my aggressive challenge. Ashcroft is honest as the day is long.
So, what did Jean Carnahan do after Ashcroft demonstrated such kindness, compassion and integrity? She voted against him, three months later, to be Attorney General.
How empty, how corrupt and cynical does an individual like Jean Carnahan need to be to cast that vote against John Ashcroft?
MM, Democrats are not just our political adversaries, they are our mortal enemies. Pure and simple. We don't share a common set of objectives and mores with 40% of our neighbors.
Anyone on FR who sees no difference between Dems and Pubbies can no longer be humored. The ongoing lie ain't making it anymore. The Jersey RATS laid it out naked and straight. They'll do anything to win.
As Freepers, we need to organize and defeat this assault. "Hi, I'm ArneFufkin, I'm your voting chaperone! Everyone from the bus, single file through the registration line!" LOL. We need to be standing around in urban precincts. We need to break up voter fraud.
Julia Carson, who represents most of Indianapolis, is behind in the polls. She's hardly running ads at all. On the radio the other day, she said she wasn't concerned, as she ALWAYS comes from behind to win.
I distinctly remember her being on the radio with Dan Burton during the Florida recount. Burton started talking about vote fraud and she got very agitated and said that most things could be explained by mistakes. HA! I suppose it was just a "mistake" that in the last election a voting machine was found along the shore of Fall Creek. Yep, it just accidentally rolled away!
We now have a democrat mayor in Indianapolis, and I imagine that for the foreseeable future there will be a democrat representative for Indianapolis.
You are correct, of course. They are crooks and mobsters, interested only in grabbing power, using any means whatsoever. Democrats who seem reasonable (like Zell Miller and my brother, using a national and a personal example) are enablers of the crooks. The time is coming where they are going to have to choose to either support this type of lawless behavior, or stand for what is right and leave the party.
They don't have to become Republicans, but they certainly should not be supporting the democrats.
