sailBOI Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 They are cheating the public by collecting a salary, while they are hardly ever there doing their jobs ! ===================================================== ALERT: As you know, two of the most liberal men in the U.S. Senate -- John Kerry and John Edwards -- are now the presumed nominees for the Democrats' bid for the White House. They'll be accepting their nominations in Boston this month. RightMarch.com plans to be there... IN THEIR FACES... in more ways than one. But we need YOUR help to do it! https://secure.cartlight.com/merchant/rightmarch/?afid=alerts First of all, we plan to take out at least FIVE FULL-PAGE ADS in the greater Boston metro area, DEMANDING that Sens. Kerry and Edwards resign from the Senate in order to run for President and Vice President, because they're there so rarely there's no way for them to actually represent their constituents. Sen. Edwards has missed 43 percent of Senate votes while running for President; Sen. Kerry has missed 88 PERCENT. That's simply NOT RIGHT, and the public is not being well-served. In 1996, Republican Sen. Bob Dole of Kansas resigned his Senate seat - and his powerful post as Senate GOP leader - shortly before he formally accepted the Republican nomination for president. Shouldn't the American people insist that Kerry & Edwards have the integrity to do the same? Adding insult to injury, according to the Boston Herald (3/1/04), "Kerry has been a virtual no-show in the U.S. Senate over the past 14 months, but he hasn't missed a paycheck," even though "federal law says some of his $158,000 salary should have been withheld." Edwards continues to cash HIS checks, too. But, as the New York Post noted (6/16/04), "In 2000, then-Texas Gov. George Bush reimbursed his state a day's salary for every day that he was campaigning out of state and then-Lt. Gov. Rick Perry had to step in as acting governor." Sens. Kerry and Edwards need to RESIGN NOW, and stop taking taxpayer money that they haven't earned! Will YOU help us take out a full-page ad around the Democrat Convention in Boston, DEMANDING their resignation? TAKE ACTION: Top Republicans in John Kerry's home state of Massachusetts have already been urging him to resign from the Senate to run for president. The North Carolina GOP has nicknamed John Edwards "Senator Gone" for constantly forgoing his duties as Senator during his "Pick-Me-For-V.P.-Tour". John Kerry and John Edwards made a commitment to the people of Massachusetts and North Carolina -- a commitment to do a job, and a commitment to represent their states in the United States Senate. In fact, they took an oath of office. If they won't do the job they swore to do, why would we ever want them in the White House? The overall cost of this campaign is over $50,000. We have VERY LITTLE TIME to raise enough money to place FULL-PAGE ads in Boston-area newspapers, demanding that Kerry and Edwards resign immediately. If every one of our members gave just $30 or $50, we could put those ads up NOW. But we know that many of our patriotic members just can't afford to give that much -- so some of you might be able to give more to make up for them, maybe as much as $100, $500, or even $1,000 or $2,000. Our members have strongly supported our efforts, including several full-page USA Today ads nationwide, as well as national radio ad campaigns. PLEASE, go to our website below to make a donation TODAY -- let's make sure we stay in the FACES of the liberal Democrats, including right there in Boston: https://secure.cartlight.com/merchant/rightmarch/?afid=alerts If you prefer to contribute by check, please make it out to: RightMarch.com 4850 Golden Pkwy., Suite B, #325 Dept. Code alerts Buford, GA 30518-1712 NOTE: As an extra "perk", if Kerry resigns, his temporary replacement would be named by the governor of Massachusetts... who just happens to be a Republican! North Carolina has a Democrat governor -- but 1 out of 2 ain't bad! And remember our wildly successful counter-protest against the radical liberals recently in Washington, D.C.? RightMarch.com is co-sponsoring another "Operation Witness" protest in Boston during the Democrat National Convention, as well as another counter-protest against the protesters in New York during the GOP Convention. We'll let you know more shortly. By the way, if you'd like to drop a personal note to Kerry & Edwards asking them to resign from the Senate, their email address is info@johnkerry.com - have fun!

sailBOI Posted July 9, 2004 Author Posted July 9, 2004 Bush doesn't read his briefings, or can't remember them. Great logic, lets replace Bush with someone that doesn't even TRY to do his job ? Quote
Squid Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 Lets replace Bush with someone that doesn't even TRY to do his job! It's a deal!! Quote
slothrop Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 Nah, that was just a cheap shot. Sure, Kerry and Edwards should take pay cuts proportionate to the time they're spending actually doing Senate work. Sounds fair. Quote
willstrickland Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 sailBoi, with yet more partisan bullshit. The only thing you are doing is assuring more turnout from the left. The only voters changing sides in what will obviously be a very very close race are going away from Bush. This thing will hinge on turnout. Yeah, they should resign right now...for what reason? So the GOP can ramrod some legislation through the Senate while their seats are vacant? Should we overlook the fact that Bush didn't resign the governorship of Texas until a month AFTER the 2000 election? And exactly what does the shortly before in "In 1996, Republican Sen. Bob Dole of Kansas resigned his Senate seat - and his powerful post as Senate GOP leader - shortly before he formally accepted the Republican nomination for president." mean? When exactly was Bob Dole's last day in the Senate you ask? June 11th 1996. You think the people reading this will somehow overlook that Bush has been on vacation close to half the time and that he too is campaigning on the public dime? And your little article there is riddled with factual inaccuracies as well. There are no "checks" to cash, all federal employees have a direct deposit requirement. As a conservative, I ask you to please: Take your divisive partisan bullshit and stick it up your ass. Boy, you're another uniter, not a divider. Quote
johndavidjr Posted July 10, 2004 Posted July 10, 2004 sailboy sounds pretty much certifiable, & one would imagine, also, highly impressed with Matt Drudge & Ann Coulter. How is the state-sponsored mental health care system in Washington? One assumes as resident of Brinnon, he has no health insurance. Quote
Fairweather Posted July 10, 2004 Posted July 10, 2004 NOTE: As an extra "perk", if Kerry resigns, his temporary replacement would be named by the governor of Massachusetts... who just happens to be a Republican! North Carolina has a Democrat governor -- but 1 out of 2 ain't bad! Actually, the Massachusetts legislature (Democrat-controlled) is feveishly working to strip the governor of the right to name a senatorial successor. I know it's hard to believe...but they now believe that the state senate should appoint vacant seats. Quote

I know it's hard to believe...but they now believe that the state senate should appoint vacant seats. I'll admit that this is politically motivated - but I do think it is better to have the Legislature (whatever their flavour) appoint a successor than the Governor, lest we get Alaskan size embarrasments like the Murkowski's, a subversion of democracy if I've ever seen one.

sailBOI Posted July 10, 2004 Author Posted July 10, 2004 I think that the issue of Kerry's failure to attend to his job as a Senator, over the entire duration of his tenure is quite relevant. Once again I will point out that I am not resorting to the sort of vitriolic language that seems a necessity of some participants. I am not an angry white male : http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/krauthammer072902.asp Quote

cracked Posted July 10, 2004 Posted July 10, 2004 While that's a crackpot article written by a conservative moron, I've observed several of the points that he addresses. Conservatives are ignorant, stupid, and evil, or some combination of the three. Either they don't grasp the obvious truth or they're incapable of thinking clearly or they don't give a damn about anyone but themselves. Liberals, of course, are the opposite of all these. They're knowledgeable, intelligent, and good. Note that if you believe your opponents to be stupid or evil, you don't try to reason with them. Stupid people, like animals and children, need guidance by their superiors. Evil people need suppression. It's often been remarked that liberals are less adept than conservatives at arguing for their views. Now you see why. They don't practice. I see these attitudes all the time around here. Quote
johndavidjr Posted July 10, 2004 Posted July 10, 2004 (edited) Gee, I found this really enlightening FAQ section on a Web site related to the link above provided us by Mr. Sailboy. It too, carries references to the distinguished philosopher Johhn Kekes, whom Sailboy's link addulates. An examination of earlier links provided by this gentleman scientist from Brinnon, have provided me with much food for thought on "creation science" and the "junk science" of climate change. "theBlondbeast23 Are hairy black unibrows a sign of nonwhite blood in you? I'm not a Nordicist or anything, lol but a friend of mine has a bushy black unibrow. He claims he's German, Welsh and French. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JohnJoyTree Yup, a sure sign one of his ancestors was assaulted by one of The Little People 'way back in the Celtic twilight. The evil subhuman blood of the Worms of the Earth pollutes his genes!!!!" See "stormfront White Nationalist Community" http://www.stormfront.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-140854 Sailboy is a genuine NW gem of a guy. ________________________________________________ Edited July 10, 2004 by johndavidjr Quote
sailBOI Posted July 10, 2004 Author Posted July 10, 2004 None of which changes the fact that Alfred E Neuman would have been a more attentive Senator than John Kerry :-) Quote
