JohnDeere 0 #2 January 27, 2010 Could you give us a link that shows Mr O'Keefe's position in that party?Nothing opens like a Deere! You ignorant fool! Checks are for workers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #3 January 27, 2010 QuoteCould you give us a link that shows Mr O'Keefe's position in that party? So it's your contention that he and the other "telephone repair men" have NO ties to to the Republican party or are not financed in any way by the "conservative" movement? This is what you believe? Is that correct? I'm nearly certain G. Gordon Liddy didn't actually hold a position in the Republican party either, but he certainly worked for them.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #4 January 27, 2010 I'm sure he knew a few people. I could make the statement that "Barack Obama receives campaign contributions from lobbyists affiliated with the Republican party." I'd be willing to bet that this is true. Probably a certainty. Which I suppose makes him a GOP shill. I am not one who believes that every swinging Richaed left-wing activist is on the Soros payroll. I don't think every criminal has gang membership. In fact, I think there are plenty of people out there who do things on their own (you don't have to be a Republican to be involved in a gay sex scandal). I think it is, however, safe to say that this guy isn't the reincarnation of Gus Hall. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #5 January 27, 2010 Quote I'm sure he knew a few people. You have a way with understatement. The kid had been trotted out for Republican speaking engagements. Gets financing from Brietbart. Is associated with the Pelican Institute. One of the other kids is the son of William Flanagan, the acting head of the U.S. Attorney's office in Shreveport, La. This is going to be "fun." But . . . he has no ties to the Republican party. Yeah, right.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hwt 0 #6 January 27, 2010 Are you suggesting that Republicans are bad and Democrats are good? Once again here we go dividing up the people along party lines. I suggest that you start looking at things without the partisan B.S. Any human being is capable of committing a crime . Take off the blinders and start looking at the world from the middle , without politics . This country is based on we the people not the right or the left .

DiverMike 5 #10 January 27, 2010 QuoteI'm nearly certain G. Gordon Liddy didn't actually hold a position in the Republican party either, but he certainly worked for them. In 1972, Liddy resigned his White House post to accept the positions of General Counsel of the 1972 Republican presidential campaign and the campaign finance committee, with additional duties as campaign political intelligence director. He held several positions in the republican party. Not that there is anything wrong with that. For the same reason I jump off a perfectly good diving board.

They are not the ones who are legislating against other peoples rights to pursue their lives without government and church interference.We were talking about all the GAY or pedophile repubiclowns.. but there are lists out there of all the adulterers as well.. and its a LONG list in each case.. just like the many gay closeted and outed republiclowns we just mentioned.

And this comes from the party that purports to care so much for everyone, and yet they can't recognize that individuals differ, even within the same party, and that the actions of a few do not represent the whole.
