Brian Ross, Rhonda Schwartz & Maddy Sauer Report:


Florida Rep. Mark Foley’s resignation came just hours after ABC News questioned the congressman about a series of sexually explicit instant messages involving congressional pages, high school students who are under 18 years of age.
In Congress, Rep. Foley (R-FL) was part of the Republican leadership and the chairman of the House caucus on missing and exploited children…….


Is this the answer to George Walker Bush’s question “WHO IS BETTER AT PROTECTING AMERICAFROM….. ????

Internet Pedophiles and Male Prostatutes

  • Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL) and Jeff Gannon are poster children for the RNC’s ways and means for controlling the porn industry. The GOP’s purveyors of these policies at the local level are just as dedicated to the preventing kiddy porn and child molestation cause. Looks like a emotionally stable and un-conflicted lott.
  • National Security and Protecting The United States of America from Usamah Bin Ladin and Al-Qaida.

    In 1997-98 President Clinton was trying to kill Usamah Bin Ladin and destroy his organization by cutting off it’s funding and tracking the flow of cash to Usamah Bin Ladin. President Clinton was stopped cold by a congress that was watching too many movies….In their own words from www.liberalslikechrist.org.

  • The Republican cry of “Wag the Dog”
    Originating from a 1997 movie, Wag the Dog was a phrase used by the right to suggest Clinton’s air strikes were driven by ulterior motives in an effort to distract the public. Some examples below:

    • Rep. Jim Gibbons (R-NV): “‘Look at the movie Wag the Dog. I think this has all the elements of that movie,’ Rep. Jim Gibbons, R-Nev., said. ‘Our reaction to the embassy bombings should be based on sound credible evidence, not a knee-jerk reaction to try to direct public attention away from his personal problems.’” [Ottawa Citizen, 8/21/98]
    • Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA): “There’s an obvious issue which will be raised internationally about the response here as to whether there is any diversionary motive involved. … I have deliberated consciously any references to Ms. Monica Lewinsky, but when you ask the question in very blunt terms, the president’s current problems have to be on the minds of many people.” [CNN, 8/20/98]
    • Then Sen. John Ashcroft (R-MO): “‘We support the president out of a sense of duty whenever he deploys military forces, but we’re not sure - were these forces sent at this time because he needed to divert our attention from his personal problems?’ Ashcroft said during the taping of a TV program in Manchester, N.H.” [St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 8/21/98]
    • Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX): “I’m very supportive of the strike that has happened, but I will tell you that the timing is very questionable. This was the day that Monica Lewinsky has gone back to the grand jury, evidently enraged. Certainly that information will be overshadowed.” [Dallas Morning News, 8/21/98]
    • Then Sen. Dan Coats (R-IN): “Coats (R-IN), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in a statement, ‘While there is clearly much more we need to learn about this attack and why it was ordered today, given the president’s personal difficulties this week, it is legitimate to question the timing of this action.’” [CNN, 8/20/98]
    • Rep. Dave Weldon (R-FL): “‘The obvious question is, are the two connected?’ asked Rep. Dave Weldon (R-Fla.), who chairs the National Security Committee’s research subcommittee. ‘That’s the unthinkable, and I would hope it would never occur in America, but I can tell you, a lot of people are wondering about it today.’” [Los Angeles Times, 8/21/98]
    • Then Rep. Bob Barr (R-GA): “All I’m saying is if factors other than good intelligence, military necessity, being prepared for the consequences entered into it, then it is wrong, and it appears that one of those factors that may have entered into it is to take something that could have been done a week ago and do it today in an effort to divert some attention.” [Fox News, 8/20/98]

      You Said:

      Excellent question! Why, the threat posed by UBL of course! Perhaps you should have asked your hero that same question, huh? He put Lewinsky first thus weakening himself and jeopardizing us all. The enemy took great advantage.


      President Clinton was not the one who put Monica Lewinsky first in their order of priorities. Newt Gingrich and Ralph Reed and the Christian Evangelicalized US House of Representatives were the ones who put Monica Lewinsky first in their agenda this is ( or I should say was the problem ). The US House of Representatives was being driven by the likes of Tom Delay and….

      • Sen. John Ashcroft ( 08/20/1998) the Missouri Republican, gospel singer and lay preacher who would be president — called for Clinton to resign. “The country cannot and should not be forced to engage issues with a discredited president who cannot be completely trusted,” said the Christian right’s point man in the Senate.1.
      • Rev. Louis P. Sheldon, chairman of the Traditional Values Coalition, is profoundly interested in which course Congress takes. He heads a Washington political action organization that seeks to turn churches into electoral machines. The morning after Clinton testified before the federal grand jury and later addressed the nation, Sheldon met with House Speaker Newt Gingrich and came away feeling confident that Clinton would face a harsh judgment.

        “I believe Congress will act when they have the document in their hands,” Sheldon says, implying that Gingrich anticipates enough incriminating material from Starr to warrant impeachment hearings, at the least.

        But what if the House decides not to act in a way that satisfies Sheldon and other devout Christian activists?

        “We would need to use that to bring to Congress new members who are committed to moral values and beliefs,” says Sheldon. “It would have an immediate impact on upcoming Senate and House races.” 1

      • Sheldon’s warning may not be an empty threat.

        The Traditional Values Coalition represents 40,000 churches across the nation, according to Sheldon. He says they are wired to his national headquarters by an online fax system that pumps out position papers and exhortations on issues involving homosexuality, abortion and now the Clinton investigation as it reaches Congress.

        “We want our people to turn out to vote,” Sheldon says.

        Sheldon is hardly a lone actor. He’s one of the leaders of the new religious right that’s taking over where Jerry Falwell left off. Its leaders include Gary Bauer and James Dobson, leader of Focus on the Family, a $112 million-a-year ministry in Colorado Springs, Colo. Dobson reaches from 3 million to 5 million listeners a day by radio. The new religious right leaders make Falwell look like a benign country preacher.

        Dobson’s burgeoning evangelical ministry is untested in electoral politics, but his power is evident. Shortly after Dobson came to Washington earlier this summer, Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott called homosexuality a sin and compared it to alcoholism. Then bills started moving through Congress that would overturn Clinton’s executive order barring discrimination against homosexuals in federal hiring; another would deny federal funds to cities that require specific employer benefits to domestic partners. Dobson has sent nine priorities to Congress that would strip funding for Planned Parenthood, ban human cloning and fetal tissue research and eliminate the National Endowment for the Arts1.

      This is just a small sampling of the SADISTIC NE-CON EVANGELICAL ACTIVISTS that were frothing at the “bit” to devour Monica Lewinsky and President Clinton. This is what stopped President Clinton’s progress in reforming our intelligence agencies and dealing with Usamah Bin Ladin. George Walker Bush had nothing to do with this convening of the GRAND INQUISITORS.

      This sick GOP perversion of congress is the opening that Usamah Bin Ladin took advantage of on 9/11.

How many 9/11’s will we have to endure before we get the point SADISTIC NE-CON EVANGELICAL ACTIVISTS are an un-stable lot too many us satiated appetites …. Lots of Knee jerk religious zealots in leadership positions with Pedophiles working to implement policies of CLOSET PEDOPHILES IN THE US House of Representatives ???? Is this the kind of congressional leadership the United States of America needs???

Let’s Flush That Toilet In The Congress!!!!

Now check this out Jack Abramoff has returned with a new list of compromised individuals that extends into the White House.

Is There A 9/11 Cover Up Going On At Fox News

September 27th, 2006

Ailes: `An assault on all journalists’
By DAVID BAUDER, AP Television Writer
1 hour, 14 minutes ago



http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060927/ap_en_tv/tv_fox_clinton_1

NEW YORK - Fox News chief Roger Ailes says former
President Clinton’s response to Chris Wallace’s question about going after Osama bin Laden represents “an assault on all journalists.”

Ailes said Clinton had a “wild overreaction” in the interview, broadcast on “Fox News Sunday.” Hundreds of thousands of people subsequently watched clips over the Internet, with Fox foes rallying behind Clinton.

“If you can’t sit there and answer a question from a professional, mild-mannered, respectful reporter like Chris Wallace, then the hatred for journalists is showing,” Ailes said in an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday. “All journalists need to raise their eyebrows and say, `hold on a second.’”


Mr. Ailes I put this question to you did your attempts to purge the Fox news archives of any embarrassing news about 9/11 begin here…..???

  • “We report, you decide.”
    Fox News Channel slogan.

    “Roger E. Ailes, a media coach for Bush’s father and now chairman of the Fox News Channel, sent a confidential communication to the White House in the weeks after the terrorist attacks. [Chief political aide Karl] Rove took the Ailes communication to the president. ‘His back-channel message: The American public would tolerate waiting and would be patient, but only as long as they were convinced that Bush was using the harshest measures possible,’ Woodward wrote. He added that Ailes, who has angrily challenged reports that his news channel has a conservative bias, added a warning: ‘Support would dissipate if the public did not see Bush acting harshly.’”

    –Washington Post news story summarizing scoops in Bob Woodward’s new book, Bush At War 1

Where is the VIDEO of Newt Gingrich and Sen. Trent Lott as they exited a meeting with President Clinton on or about 09/10/1998.

Stop crying about being told the truth by the one who was being lied about . If you want the perks of a “JOURNALIST try acting like a real News agency and stop being one of the GOP’s ADVERTISING AGENCIES.

Can Jean Schmidt even tie her shoes without lying, cheating or stealing?

From the Wulsin campaign:

SCHMIDT PLAGIARIZES POLICY POSITIONS

This Week’s Op-Ed Identical to Press Release by Deborah Pryce

Cincinnati, Ohio – Jean Schmidt added another blatant deception to her long list of publicly-exposed lies this week when she published an op-ed about Medicare Part D in the Community Press and Recorder that is almost identical to a press release issued by Congresswoman Deborah Pryce (R-Columbus) on July 10 of this year. She also published the op-ed on August 30 in the Piketon News Watchman and in the Adams County People’s Defender….

…..This scandal is nothing new for Schmidt, who has been repeatedly reprimanded for dishonesty and outright lying. In March, the Ohio Elections Commission determined that she had falsely claimed endorsements from several politicians and interest groups, including Tom Tancredo and the Family Research Council. Then, on April 28, the Commission unanimously voted that Schmidt displayed “reckless disregard for the truth” by claiming to have a college degree that she did not actually possess ……



The Plagiarism
Jean Schmidt Deborah Pryce
Two-and-a-half years ago, Republicans delivered on a promise we made to the American people by passing sweeping Medicare reform, including a comprehensive Medicare prescription drug benefit to give America’s seniors access to affordable prescription drugs. Now that the program is off the ground, the evidence is in and we have much to celebrate: the Medicare prescription drug benefit is working, and seniors are saving money. Over 90 percent of all Medicare beneficiaries now have drug coverage - that’s 38 million seniors. As of this summer in Ohio, 1.4 million more seniors have prescription drug coverage than before the benefit began. Two and a half years ago, Congress delivered on a promise we made to the American people by passing sweeping Medicare reform, including a comprehensive Medicare prescription drug benefit to, for the first time, give America’s seniors access to affordable prescription drugs. As we have now passed the May 15th deadline, the evidence is in and we have much to celebrate: the Medicare prescription drug benefit is working, and seniors are saving money.
Over 90 percent of all Medicare beneficiaries now have drug coverage - that’s 38 million seniors. As of mid-June in Ohio’s, nearly 1.6 million seniors have prescription drug coverage.
Prior to enactment of this measure, Medicare had changed little since its creation in the 1960s. The program brought a 20th-century attitude to 21st-century medicine, funding expensive operations but failing to fund prescription drugs. Medicare would pay for your operation to install a pacemaker after a heart attack, but it wouldn’t pay for the heart medicine that might have prevented the heart attack in the first place.

Medicare would pay for your operation to install a pacemaker after a heart attack, but it wouldn’t pay for the heart medicine that might have prevented the heart attack in the first place.
The reforms changed all this. Thanks to the reforms passed in 2003, which took effect on Jan. 1 of this year, millions of seniors are now receiving low-cost prescription drugs through the new Medicare prescription drug benefit. In the face of attacks and attempts to scare seniors away from signing up, many of us teamed up with local advocacy organizations to hold thousands of events across the country to educate seniors about the new benefit. The results of those efforts can be seen in the record sign-up, which far surpassed enrollment goals. More importantly, seniors are saving. The average beneficiary expects to save $1,100 a year. The Medicare prescription drug benefit changed all of this. Thanks to the reforms we passed in 2003, which took effect on January 1 of this year, millions of seniors are now receiving low-cost prescription drugs through the new Medicare prescription drug benefit. In the face of partisan attacks and attempts to scare seniors away from signing up, I was proud to have teamed up with local advocacy organizations to hold events in central Ohio to educate seniors about the new benefit. The results of those efforts can be seen in the record sign-up, which far surpassed enrollment goals. The average beneficiary expects to save $1,100 a year.
And there is more good news. Competition is reducing the cost of the benefit both for seniors and for tax payers. Premiums were originally expected to be $37 per month, but competition among the plans has reduced average premiums to just $24 per month. Low-income beneficiaries are receiving significant assistance, often paying little or no premium, co-pay or deductible. Estimated tax payer costs of the plan from 2006 to 2015 have dropped by $180 billion. And there’s more good news. Competition is reducing the cost of the benefit both for seniors and for taxpayers.

Can The RNC / Cato Alliance Reform Social Security to Help All Americans ??

September 19th, 2006

I am issuing a simple challenge to the RNC / Cato/Heritage Alliance. Is there one among your many consultants / analysts who can come up with a Social Security reform plan that would be useful to ALL workers in the United States of America not just the privileged few. A plan that can compete with the one that follows. All of these Social Security Reform Plans will cost BILLIONS and place MILLIONS of retired people at risk of poverty. Why should future generations of AMERICANS pay for my retirement ?? Why not set up a system to allow each to save as much as possible???

There is no free lunch… some one will pay the bill eventually

************************************

A Private Plan Addition to The Basic Social Security Benefit

Social Security Private Plan Addition to The Basic Social Security Benefit

This Social Security Private Plan Addition is intended as a tool to boost the savings incentives for those near and/or at the bottom of the income scale. Note ALL CONTRIBUTIONS ARE TAX EXEMPT AND GROW TAX FREE!!!

There is a novel idea here. Starting retirement savings for ALL at birth / issuance of the Social Security card. I have also been thinking of INDEXING the tax break for low ( minimum wage earners up to say 175% of the poverty line) income earners such that POOREST OF THE POOR CAN GET A ENHANCED BREAK.

I BELIEVE THIS THE WAY TO GO YOU SAVE,,, YOU MAKE OUT AT RETIREMENT BIG TIME, IT IS UP TO YOU.

SOME BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR A PRIVATE ADDITION TO THE Social Security BENEFIT.

  • This plan is in addition to the Social Security FICA.
  • There is a higher limit on the annual contribution say 20k dollars/year.
  • The FICA salary cap shall rise to $140,000.00 .
  • The money is exempt from state and federal tax.
  • The money grows tax free
  • The money can be available from say 59 to 64 on, as a monthly or quarterly pay out over 30 years.

  • THE CONGRESS IS PRECLUDED FROM ANY FORM OF BORROWING FROM THIS ACCOUNT, THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH IS PRECLUDED FROM ISSUING ANY PROCLAMATIONS OR EXECUTIVE ORDERS ATTACHING OR USING THESE FUNDS FOR ANY PURPOSE OTHER THAN THE BENEFITS OF THE OWNERS . FURTHER THERE WILL BE NO COMMINGLING OF THESE FUNDS WITH ANY OTHER AGENCY OR BRANCH OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. NO LIEN OR ATTACHMENT OF THE “PRIVATE PLAN’s” LEGALLY OBTAINED AND DEPOSITED FUNDS BY ANY COURT, JUDICIAL ENTITY, OR ENTITY WILL BE PERMITTED BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. THESE FUNDS WILL BE INVESTED AND MANAGED AS A BOND FUND. THE OBJECTIVE WILL BE OPTIMUM LONG TERM YIELD . ALL US GOVERNMENT ISSUED AND GUARANTEED OPENLY TRADED US GOVERNMENT BONDS AND NOTES , OF ALL MATURITIES SHOULD BE USED AS NEEDED. SHORT TERM FEDERAL RESERVE SECURITIES ( LESS THAN 1 WEEK ) SHOULD BE USED AS NEEDED.
  • The operation of the “Social Security private plan” should mimic the operations of a bond mutual fund.
  • Interest compounding and, pay outs should be made quarterly .
  • A $ 3.00 minimum per week contribution with a $20,000.00 yearly maximum .

  • Extra deposits should be accepted via inter bank money transfers or EFET deposits to the account, also deposits can be made at any bank cash or check . Subject to the prevailing money laundering laws on the books .
  • All deposits will be tracked by Social Security Administration and reported to the IRS as exempt income ( not taxable ) but reported .
  • The total of all deposits made in a calendar year will show up on the W - 2 form .
  • The amount to be deposited via weekly payroll deduction should be easily changeable, up or down .
  • The interest paid is as close to the coupon as clipped value as possible
  • Once the agreed upon retirement age is reached the right to start, stop and restart benefit pay outs should be available.
  • Each baby born an American Citizen at the issuance of his / her Social Security card will have 10.00 dollars deposited into his / her private plan, as a one time retirement grant.

The Idea here is to reach the first $ 1000.00 in the account A.S.A.P. . For a new worker entering the work force and, living at home with his /her parents making extra deposits as savings would make for an comfortable retirement . When this worker moves up the pay scale increasing the weekly deposit and or making extra deposits will further increase the additional income provided by the ” private plan “

The power of large scale buying of bonds can reduce the fixed cost of the operation to the .3% to .2% level.

This plan has the potential to transform the idea of retirement living. This plan can double the safety net for new workers entering the labor pool. In order for us older folks to take advantage of this system we would have to increase the amount of our initial deposits. The best use for us older folks would be an excess cash trap , say after the sale of a house, what should you do with 50k excess profit ? shelter 20k in this Social Security Private plan. Also parents can and should make deposits for their children into this Social Security Private Plan as they grow up. I think it is much better if seniors can take care of themselves with their own money than depend on the government to supply welfare.

WE NEED MORE CUSTOMERS WITH MORE MONEY AT RETIREMENT

.

This plan will enhance the savings rate in the United States of America . The number of seniors on welfare or public assistance will decline . The spending power of seniors will start rising just as the population of the United States of America starts to gentrify. As the baby fizzle of the, late 70’s early 80’s, moves to the workforce center stage, the spending power of the retied will be on the rise. To days pre-tweens and younger will be entering the work force with their greater numbers and, will have spending support from seniors to maintain job growth. The pre-tweens will have at least a chance to establish themselves as an economic force. The number of seniors retiring to poverty should begin to approach 0 , because of the doubling of the safety net benefit. This plan has one goal to produce more customers.

This country needs more customers with money.

WE MUST KEEP GROWING OR DIE

The RNC’s Attempts To Rewrite The History Of 9/11 And The Clinton Administration

September 12th, 2006

As I sit watching this collective debauchery of the RNC’s attempts to rewrite history. The actual cause for the inability of President Clinton’s Administration to retune the AMERICAN intelligence infrastructure to deal with the Usamah Bin Ladin threat is the Christian evangelicalization of the U. S. Congress. The leadership of the RNC from1997 to present was and is under the control of SADISTIC NE-CON EVANGELICAL ACTIVIST ZEALOTS .

The blind rage and the inquisitorial nature of the RNC’s congressional leadership left the United States of America vulnerable to Usamah Bin Ladin at a time when all but the lamest of individuals understood. Usamah Bin Ladin wants to kill ALL AMERICANS.

If you want to find out why congress was involved in spanking President Clinton with months of congressional inaction on his terrorism proposals and legislation, culminating in a joke of an IMPEACHMENT trial. Just ask Newt Gingrich and Ralph Reed . They shut down the Congress of The United States of America and thus allowed Usamah Bin Ladin the opening he needed to kill 3000 AMERICANS.

Republicans are planning to spend the vast majority of their sizable financial war chest over the final 60 days of the campaign attacking Democratic House and Senate candidates over personal issues and local controversies, GOP officials said.

The National Republican Congressional Committee, which this year dispatched a half-dozen operatives to comb through tax, court and other records looking for damaging information on Democratic candidates, plans to spend more than 90 percent of its $50 million-plus advertising budget on what officials described as negative ads.

Clinton presses for anti-terrorism tools
Congress agrees tougher measures needed



http://www.cnn.com/US/9607/29/clinton.terrorism/index.html


WASHINGTON (CNN) — President Clinton asked Congress Monday to put more teeth in a tough new anti-terrorism law, and won broad agreement but no specific commitments from Republican lawmakers….

….Flanked by Republican and Democratic leaders of the House and Senate, President Clinton opened the meeting by saying, “You can see that when we are attacked, whether it’s from within or without, we come together and that’s what we’re doing here.” (191K AIFF or WAV sound)….

….During a photo opportunity before the meeting, House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Georgia, told Clinton, “We look forward to having a serious discussion here about how we can work with you to continue to strengthen our ability to deal with these kind of people.” (254K AIFF or WAV sound)….


Does any body remember this speech by President Clinton ???

Good afternoon. Today I ordered our Armed Forces to strike at terrorist-related facilities in Afghanistan and Sudan because of the imminent threat they presented to our national security.

I want to speak with you about the objective of this action and why it was necessary. Our target was terror. Our mission was clear, to strike at the network of radical groups affiliated with and funded by Usama bin Ladin, perhaps the preeminent organizer and financier of international terrorism in the world today.


Oh the great divide that Monica Lewinsky hath wrought. Poor Monica Lewinsky tripped over Linda Tripp and fell into Ken Starr’s web and was eaten by the RNC and had her sex life regurgitated all over the evening news.

All in all I think President Clinton and his Administration did all they could with the likes of Newt Gingrich hunting him in the US House of Representatives .

ABC Lies About President Clinton And 9/11

September 6th, 2006

Posted 9/6/06 7:36 PM

The RNC /Cato/Heritage alliance is trying to hide the fact that President Clinton called Sen. Trent Lott and Newt Gingrich to the White House to talk about the Usamah Bin Ladin threat. After the meeting with President Clinton both Newt Gingrich and Sen. Trent Lott held a press conference out side the White House. During this press conference Newt Gingrich stated that the Republican congressional leadership would not be distracted by terrorism and the Usamah Bin Ladin threat. Newt Gingrich said the focus would remain on Monica Lewinsky and the RNC impeachment drive . Seams that sperm stains on Monica Lewinsky’s dress were more important to the RNC congressional leadership than Usamah Bin Ladin . By the way President Clinton tried on two (2) occasions to kill Usamah Bin Ladin by himself President Clinton wanted help from congress but they were too busy investigating “unique identifying characteristics” of President Clinton’s penis. What ever turn you on.
