Rush makes numerous such donations, that he mentions infrequently, but of course they never seem to matter.nonothing said:Why not just send what you can afford to the "Marine Corps -- Law Enforcement Foundation"..

By a vote of 72-25 (3 not-voting), the Senate passed the Cornyn Amendment that strongly condemns any effort to attack the honor and integrity of General Petraeus and all members of the U.S. Armed Forces. This Amendment also sends a clear message to the U.S. Armed Forces, letting them know that MoveOn.org and their liberal cohorts in the Senate do not speak for the majority of Americans.

Do you write letters to congressmen for doing what you pay them to do oldwhiner? I would think that doing something stupid deserves a letter but standing up for the integrity of a general would be part of their expected job. Of course you and I see things different.Oldtimer said:Hanta Yo said:I see Baucus and Testor both signed the letter.

Did you send them an atta-boy for supporting the condemnation of the General Betrayus Ad and MoveOn.org ? Or are you ashamed they did that too :???: :wink:

Listened to Rush this morning, still says he's going to match it....of course Harry Reid made some pathetic pitch like he should get some credit for Rush's good deed, although no mention was made that he and the dirty 40...or however many signers there were... had any plans to contribute themselves.nonothing said:sw said:nonothing, it is his money as he is going to match the bid dollar for dollar and give it all to the foundation.
Well I do not see where it says Rush is going to match the offer but if he does it will be a 4.2 million dollar total contribution then....If Rush is kicking in 2.1 million,I say good on him for helping not by selling but also by doubling up his offer..It is nice to see some good come from it all......

OT, I give them cudos when they vote right. I don't like hearing Baucus' radio advertisment about Bush's veto on the S CHIP...sounds to me the cost will probably include taking care of the illegal immigrants' kids, too
Hanta, I wrote that Reid sounded an awful lot like the little pathetic crybaby that was Tom Daschle!! Then thought I'd be a little nice, and deleted it before I hit "submit".Hanta Yo said:Cal said:Listened to Rush this morning, still says he's going to match it....of course Harry Reid made some pathetic pitch like he should get some credit for Rush's good deed, although no mention was made that he and the dirty 40...or however many signers there were... had any plans to contribute themselves.nonothing said:Well I do not see where it says Rush is going to match the offer but if he does it will be a 4.2 million dollar total contribution then....If Rush is kicking in 2.1 million,I say good on him for helping not by selling but also by doubling up his offer..It is nice to see some good come from it all......
Yep, listened to Rush, too this morning. Had it LOUD as we were unloading mineral and cake w/mga. Sounded to me like dingy Harry actually was taking credit for the monies raised....we listened to his speech about it....so now the "letter" which really was towing the line on our freedom of speech by getting Rush shut down has flip-flopped and now dingy Harry can divert their intent with the letter into a good thing. I sure hope Americans can hear right through ol Dingy Harry...he smells just like Daschle in S. Dakota....who lost his reelection by behaving the same way. Nevada, I sure hope you are paying attention to who you vote for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :!:

And I think your going to see a major overreaction on the healthcare and insurance issue that will end up giving us a mess--probably out and out universal coverage for everyone (A Hillarycare +)....But its GW's and a 12 year Republican controlled Congress's own fault for doing nothing-- and now folks like Baucus are definitely beating the drum and making hay out of it while the sun shines...And with all polls saying that 70+% of voters believe insurance/health care costs are one of the top priority issues-- he's stacking truckloads with his ads, like all the Dems will......
I heard that it was Betty Casey. That's what Reuters is saying, too:ff said:Auction is over. Who's the big spender?
