  1. Well, here's's a letter from the RNC from 1/12/04 asking the DNC to back them in requesting the FEC ban ALL ads from 527's. So, Ed Gillespie is George W. Bush? Gillespie is using first person (I) instead of something to suggest that the Republican Party and Bush (We) are speaking. Oh, I'm sorry, the RNC would issue a statement WITHOUT the OK of the President. My bad. Happens ALL of the time. Parties OFTEN go against the unopposed Presidential candidate. Frequent occurence. Hell, happens almost every single day. I mean, I can remember all of those RNC statements that Reagan had to dissociate himself from. And, wow, remember how often the DNC and Clinton didn't agree in 1996? It was constant --- CONSTANT, I tell ya. Well, i'd assume that since Bush has condemned these ads for months (maybe even years). There's something more direct. You can argue that since Kerry wasn't the official nominee, McAuliffe couldn't speak for anybody. HOWEVER, he didn't really say those claims shouldn't be made, EITHER. He.. (would that be Kerry or McAuliffe?).. i'm sure if it came up again, there would be a condemnation of ads mentioning the AWOL idea. When it comes to George W. Bush, his record from January 20th, 2001 to now is the most important. What he did in the 1970s is irrelevant. must be slang for "eliminate the 527 ads", those crazy kids Selective editing is a poor refuge for actual fact. The reference was to 527 ads from the start of the letter. I quoted the first paragraph of the letter. Anything else I need to quote here? Because it doesn't appear that the RNC is asking to "get rid of all soft money", just for an even enforcement of the law. ALL of them. Not some. He and his party requested the DNC join them in opposing ALL of these ads WAY back in January. and by "he and his party", you mean "the head of the RNC" and by "opposing all these ads" you mean "enforcing the law evenly" You got bored and missed the second paragraph of the letter, which consisted of: Now, if you wish to pull off Clintonian level parsing of words, have a blast. Hmm. I remember the third paragraph of the letter, which was about a pro-Bush 527. Strangely enough, the 'Americans for a better country' doesn't appear to have done anything so far. To paraphrase Dole, they'd attack Kerry's Senate record --- if he had one. You mean Iran-Contra, the Investigation into the BCCI bank (extra BCCI-ness here), or more stuff twisted out of his voting record? (I'd imagine with the "Kerry's main thing is Vietnam" mythology, if he dares mention the two things above, it'd either be "He's changing the subject!", or something which was used first on Al Gore, such as "He's taking credit for a bit much" or "Hank Brown did the heavy lifting") Just out of curiosity --- is there a point where he could have come forward and you wouldn't say it was all bullshit? I am betting no. Maybe after Joe Lieberman unleashed his 'Joementum' to win the nomination. JTTS, you know you're a Liebermaniac at heart
  2. So tomorrow, I start at a community college. Yes, I think it counts. So, anyways, any advice, stories or useful stuff? Even if most of you probably went to an actual college. The schedule is a bit light, 9:30 to 10:45 and 12:30-1:45 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 9:00 to 10:50 on the other 3 days (class 1 ends at 9:50, class 2 begins at 10). I think stuff is relatively well prepared. So, yeah.
  3. I guess you didn't read the disclaimer on the "Angus Diet" ad
  4. Well, here's's a letter from the RNC from 1/12/04 asking the DNC to back them in requesting the FEC ban ALL ads from 527's. So, Ed Gillespie is George W. Bush? Gillespie is using first person (I) instead of something to suggest that the Republican Party and Bush (We) are speaking. I guess under the criteria of "if the chairman says it, candidate/president said it", then John Kerry has said that Bush went AWOL. must be slang for "eliminate the 527 ads", those crazy kids ALL of them. Not some. He and his party requested the DNC join them in opposing ALL of these ads WAY back in January. and by "he and his party", you mean "the head of the RNC" and by "opposing all these ads" you mean "enforcing the law evenly" But then again, there's nothing that can be done (legally) on either side to force the ads to stop. Soon enough, this will return to the issues, or at least negative advertising relating to issues. And isn't that what elections are about?
  5. Note to self: If I am a manager, I hit the third baseman with 4 home runs in the year in the #3 spot, over a guy who has 37 home runs on the year. Tony Pena is a genius!
  6. I'd have my theme music played after my wedding
  7. Score one for the Punisher
  8. what was a pathetic Twist of Fate Kane just has to say "YES" and it's final
  9. JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION
  10. Kane's vows: "I own you" Lita's vows: "I wish you die" Awwwww
  11. Awww.. this is romantic
  12. I don't think that's in the Bible
  13. So, the minister isn't Bischoff
  14. I bet a classical version of Lita's theme would rock. Or of Matt Hardy's theme
  15. Edwin, Bush criticized ALL of these ads for MONTHS now. All of them. Feel free to provide a link to back up the "He's condemned all these ads for months" claim. I'm sure Bush "laid the smack down" on the Club for Growth, The People of Color United ( http://www.opensecrets.org/527s/527events.asp?orgid=62 ), Media Fund, MoveOn and all the rest, in a general sense. http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/0818-03.htm Damn Kerry. *missed the Fahrenheit 9/11 527 ads* Here's something that would be on middle ground: Condemning negative ads which either attack a candidate personally (the ads on Kerry/Vietnam, Bush/National Guard) and the ads which are blatantly deceptive (those which twist facts, make them up, and the such). Condemning all 527s is a bit simplistic, since most of them don't run ads. And there's room for negative attacks on the records of Bush as President, Kerry in the Senate and on their proposals. While most people don't like negative ads. Negative ads on records and issues is better than personal attacks.
  16. If I knew of a gif where Luger was doing his bicep dance, I would post it instead of the larger pic (or a gif of Alex Wright doing his "Penis dance")
  17. I don't think there's anything covering coordination between 527s and PACs and all that.
  18. "Angleplex, i'm so gay for you!"
  19. Oh, Rob, thought you might like this. Remember the whole: line? Well, went to opensecrets.org Care to guess what group is on the list of 527 committees? Why, it was ACT. And they're the THIRD largest spender. Weird, huh? WOW --- so was moveon.org. The sixth largest spender. WHOA! Shocking, huh? So, 527's aren't allowed to advocate the defeat of a specific candidate, right? http://www.opensecrets.org/527s/popup527.asp http://www.opensecrets.org/527s/popupPAC.asp http://www.opensecrets.org/527s/527grps.asp Hmm.. appears MoveOn and ACT are listed as PACs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MoveOn.org And ACT would have a similar split with a 527 side and a PAC side. http://www.publicintegrity.org/527/report....aid=333&sid=300 http://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/topacs.asp?cycle=2004&Type=I and look, MoveOn made a PAC list too, we're all so proud! It's possible for an idea to be good, and also have no real shot of working in the real world.
  20. Calvin Pickering is 2 for 2 with 2 home runs and a walk in his Royals debut Pickering already has 35 HRs in 299 AB for Triple-A Omaha The second home run was a 440ft shot to Center
