Free Republic

Obama is using another strawman ploy. Anyone in business understands the role of C corps, S corps, LLCs, Partnerships and Schedule C business entities. The average voter would not. The only entity in the aforementioned list that pays Corporate Income taxes is the C Corp. That DOES NOT mean that profits from the other entities are tax-free. All of the others are what is known as pass-through organizations, meaning that the profits are passed-through to individual shareholders or partners and those individuals pay the taxes. There are many reasons why this is so but the bottom line is that taxes are paid.

I get it!! They pledge to do what we all have been doing as a matter of course in our lives. (Of course, they were prevented from pledging when that evil Bush guy was in office!! He refused to allow anyone to do the righ thing! Diabolical! How did we survive the last 8 years??)

Non-believing heathens, the whole lot of you! Curses be upon you!

That my old base, I ws there in the early 60's. We were the 5 th Battalion, 77th Art. back then. Babenhausen was a great little town and so to nearby Darmstadt and Ashaffenburg (sp). I revisited there a few years ago and much has changed as it again changes.

Well yeah!!! They're dead!! Blame Bush!!!

I've been away. "Kerry was in Switzerland?? I thought he was in Vietnam!!!!"" Damn!!

Andersen Cooper said a few weeks ago "Every soldier that I spoke to over in Iraq said that training of the Iraqi troops was not going well at all". "EVERY SOLDIER"??? How many did he talk to??? So much BS. He is not a reporter at all but goes with the flow. A few weeks ago the herd was anti Bush and now that he is fighting back they want to be on that bandwagon. What do you wanna bet the next polls look better than the last??? They already know it!!!

Here's the gist of all this.. MSN (Mitchel, Woodward, Pincus, etc.) new who Valerie Plame was (If they didn't they were incompetent) and let Libby and Rove sweat it out with Libby finally getting the indictment.

The conspiracy here is the MSN trying to make the Bush Administration look bad in the eyes of the public. Its simple folks!!

Did anyone post teh AP article about this subject? Notice, I think they misinformed the readers about the rule that keeps Delay from retakng his leadership seat. The stated that it was a "house Rule" when in fact it is a republican rule in the house. Am I correct in this? Here's the link:

http://www.breitbart.com/news/2005/12/05/D8EABQM85.html

Let me know.

Let's think about this for a minute. Here is my take. Suppose the MSN (specifically: Russert, Pincus, Andrea Mitchell, Cooper, Woodward and others) knew about Wilson's wife. They did not speak up in print on air or in testimony. Why?

What does this say about them as people? It says that they were willing to let another person go to trial and suffer for a crime they did not committ. For what purpose?

Isn't this what we see all the time from these "crusaders of justice" on their netwroks all of the time?

I ask you?

I tried to use his website to contact him, but if u try it u must be a constituent or it directs you to another congressman's site. He's a coward and a disgrace to the uniform that both of us wore.

"Does MRC not see ANY difference between a comedian making a joke and a religious leader actually calling for assassination?"


Huck?. Now Franken is a comedian and not a talk-show host. So, how would you feel if Rush called for the assasination of say Sen. Swimmer?

Sorry Freepers! I am a golfer and the game is one in which honor, fair play and rules are paramount. Michelle knows the rules and she should have been more careful about her drop. The caddie is also at fault since he is there to assist and advise her. She DID sign an incorrect scorecard and must suffer the sanction as the rules provide.

This summer in a tournament, I mistakenly hit the wrong ball on a hole. When I got to the green, I immediately realized that it was not my ball. I retraced my steps and found the correct ball and played on with it. Not knowing what the sanction was, I played to the end and found an official and discribed what happened and he informed me that it was a two-stroke penalty. Luckily I found the error before I teed off on the next hole or I would have been disqualified. I posted it on my card and turned it in corrected after signing it. By the way, my two-person team won the match and the prize even with the extra two strokes.

"Another example of COROPORATE GREED perpetrated by Republican FAT CAT business people taking advantage of the "little guy". Homelessness will boomerang in NYC and Beantown. I hope you G.. D... conservatives take notice! You'll be voted out of office in NY and Mass next time!!!!

(grin)

I sent my email to Russert. Anyone else?

Maybe we should remind Roeper of the big difference between what Clinton did after a certain crisis in his administration called "Waco"

Bush "excepted" responsibility for the "slow" (not my opinion) Federal response.

When asked by a reporter if he (Clinton) was responsible for Waco he replied "Oh, That was Reno's deal! Ha Ha" I remember this very well and it was a measure of the person that Clinton was, liked the praise never the criticism!

My email to Mr, Calme:

Oh Mr Calme,



Was wondering if you could alert the news folks at the News Desk that there is a organization of radical left-wing talk show people called Air America? Maybe you could let them in on this “tip”? “There just might be a scandal there." Maybe and even bigger scandal then the one about John Roberts adopting two kids. “What was he thinking!!!!!!!"



I know you will give them a heads up and thanks!

Hate to burst your bubble, but a "fair tax" or "flat tax" would ruin the engine that keeps the US economy churning. And that is the tax deduction for interest and taxes on your home. What would be that advantage of home ownership if you did not have an opportunity to deduct these items from your income??? I'll answer. None! And the American dream would be lost.

Put young horny men and women together and sex breaks out!!! Who'd a thunk it????

We need to find an expert in tracking copies. All copiers leave tracks! For example, if the original were copied at Kinkos, and that copier had dots (dirt specs) on the glass or smudges, that would carry onto the next copy etc. It might be a way to find out where the documents originated. Any Ex-Xeriods(Xerox copier reps) out there?

MICHAEL MOORE dumber than DAN RATHER?????? No way!!!!

OK, that settles it!!!! I switching my vote!!!!!!!!!

Is gambling going on in here too????

Buckhead, did u get that Superscript capable typewriter I sent you two weeks ago??? I know it was old but it still worked real good!!

And there all along I was thinking Buckhead was really Jimmy Hoffa!!!!

I tried to get a room at Hoiday Inn Express last and the damn place was full!!!! You guys are keeping me stupid!!

I was a copier repairman back in 1972/3 and I want to add another aspect to be investigated. I printed these docs out and compared them for "registration". They are indentical but that may not be relevant. I have been out of the business for years and years but back then we had a problem with lines on the edges of copies because of varying registration (paper entering the print area of the selinium drum where the actual image was then transferred to the paper would vary slightly) would leave a black line on the paper. The problem was solved by enlarging the image to overlap the actual size of the paper which solved the problem. This can be checked by holding the original up to overlay the copy and you can see that the line is slighlty longer on the copy than on the original. I am no longer in the business but it would be interesting to know if copies today are size for size and I believe they are.

If they are now size for size, then the "copies" were made recently which tells me the original still exists or existed after the advent of size for size copies.

I was only involved with one copier company so if another company had size for size back then I was unaware of it.

If the IBM Selectric Composer can duplicate the memo, it should be checked for size to see when the copy was made.

Also, all copiers leave "fingerprints" in the form of dirt or specks on the platin (glass) and defects in the printer image surface which show up as spots on the copies. It would be a clue to verify which copier it was printed on if one is ever found. Fingerprints are repeated after each copy process

I bring this up as "food for blogger thought" if someone has the time and means to investigate..

Good morning,

The real headline should be:

"Raines comfirms that he is a Rat"

He is lamenting that the Rats are nominating a Lurch that can't win. And he desperately wants W out or power! Ain't gonna happen, Howie!>

I have an idea!! Let's sell the bonds only to poor people!!! Clever huh??

Oh yes, and let's see, did Senator Graham insist that President Clinton take responsibility for Waco instead of his AG? Let's ask him!

Do ya think the Book on sale soon could have anything to do with this revelation!

In an unusual move, the French government has accused the U.S. administration of trying to tarnish the reputation of France. The accusation -- denied by U.S. officials

How could the United States possibly do that?

Victory????

Last night on Fox News with Brit Hume, the question was asked, "Is this a victory for the dimoRATS?". Both Jeff and Juan said it was. The other two did not dispute them. I think it will come back to haunt the dims! I can see the Republican ads now showing the RATS deserting the ship when a tough decision had to be made. Beat them over the head with it!!!

Duh! Einstien is turning over in his grave!

A Sweety Sister, "We have metal detectors at our concerts now." So are we to believe that you put them in because of the controversy? I don't think so! Oh, I see, dumb me, it's like the burned out black schoolhouse thing that the slickmeister spoke of growing up in Arkansas. Hmmm, now I get it.

What's really funny is the way France treated Russia and Germany. Got them to participate in the "conspiracy" and then left both hanging out to dry with the "I'm on your side USA!" As a Fox News guy said "They was FROGGED!"

BWAAAAAA

Hans! Hans! They're already there, Hans! Hans! Hans!

Hans! Hans! The inspectors are already there! Hans! Hans! Heelllloooo!

He has every right to speak, he has NO right to my entertainment dollar!

You guys beat me to the 4th ID entering the tray. I had a vision this morning of all those M1A1 tanks racing up the highways from Kuwait passing Baghdad with no problems with the supply lines. They are itching for a fight and Tikrit will be the prize.

And we care for what reason????

There goes my vote! hehehehehe

I posted on another thread that I noticed in today's tape Saddam and the others were wearing winter clothes in temps of 80+ degrees.

Just an observation and did anyone else notice? In today's Saddam Broadcast, I noted that The Great One himself and others were wearing winter clothes. I noted at the time that the temp in Bagdhad was about 90 degrees. Maybe the AC thermostat was stuck on 50 down in the bunker.

Oh My God! I did the same thing but I used the Store Brand cheese. I hate myself!

Mrs Washburn:

Aaron Brown is annoying and whiny. If you are friends with him, you are probably overlooking these traits as you should. I prefer to listen to fingernails on a blackboard.

Headline should read:

"Pro Saddam Robin Williams blasts Bush"

Green camo is for when they get near Bagdhad, where the terrain chnges from desert to wooded.
