Bob Boudelang Discusses the Memo and Tom Delay
"Senator Mel Martizez, who is not a coward who blames his underlings for everything that goes wrong, did have the memo in his pocket and handed it out saying, "These are talking points -- something that we're working on here."
...
Besides, the low level staffer who wrote the memo and put it in the pocket of Mel Martinez was only the legal counsel for the Senator, who worked for the gun lobby, and had ties to Our Great Republican Mean Guy Who Does Something in Congress Tom Delay, the nuclear power lobby, and drug companies. So it is not like he was a Republican insider or anything.

Speaking of Tom Delay, it is also shameful about the way Democraps and honest people are trumping up fake charges against this wonderful American, just because he stabbed America’s troops in the back while taking money from Russian Intelligence, and has a family slush fund, and ran an award scam for doctors, and collected millions of dollars through cronies, and stuck up for sweatshops and prostitution, Do not forget all the good things he has done in his career in Congress such as (Dear Mr. Editor, please put one of the good things Tom Delay has done in here if you can find one) while slaving away on just $167,000 a year.

1. Bob's right on the money, again...
NOTHING gets past Mr. Boudelang. His razor sharp mind continues to ferret out the stories that others may have missed and his well thought out commentary continues to improve with each article.
Thank god we have patriots like Bob Boudelang chipping away at the LIEberal media lies. Where would our country be if he didn't trumpet the success of our grate leader, pResident George Walker Bush? I ask you? When it comes to politics, Bob has half a mind to see what is really going on!
Thanks again Mr. Boudelang, our grate country owes you a death of gratitude, and I for one will be happy when that death is paid. :patriot:

And to MrBenchley; I don't know HOW you've come to know a true American patriot like Bob Boudelang, since you are obviously a red, commie, DemoCRAP that wants to waste our precious tax dollars on food, education and shelter for people in our own country when there are countries with oil that haven't even been Democratized, but you should count your lucky fingers that you should be able to breath the same sweet air of freedom as Bob and not be forced into a camp somewhere so you could be taught the true meaning of what being an American is all about. So there!

4. LOL....
The amazing thing about Bob is every time I think I've made him too implausible, I come across a real right wing asshole even stupider and uglier. This morning the Delphi board has a guy ranting that everyone who mentions there were no WMDs in Iraq ought to be herded together and have the atomic bomb dropped on them...evidently to demonstrate that right wingers aren't dangerous violent freedom-hating loonies.

So not only wasn't the memo a forgery. but Martinez was pulling copies out of his pocket and handing them to people saying "Here are some talking points..."

10. Did you see this bit of GOP scumminess...
He doesn't think his wedding should be politicized...just everyone else's...

"Arthur J. Finkelstein, a prominent Republican consultant who has directed a series of hard-edged political campaigns to elect conservatives in the United States and Israel over the last 25 years, said Friday that he had married his male partner in a civil ceremony at his home in Massachusetts.
Mr. Finkelstein, 59, who has made a practice of defeating Democrats by trying to demonize them as liberal, said in a brief interview that he had married his partner of 40 years to ensure that the couple had the same benefits available to married heterosexual couples.
Some of Mr. Finkelstein's associates said they were startled to learn that this prominent American conservative had married a man, given his history with the party, especially at a time when many Republican leaders, including President Bush, have campaigned against same-sex marriage and proposed amending the Constitution to ban it. Mr. Finkelstein has been allied over the years with Republicans who have fiercely opposed gay rights measures, including former Senator Jesse Helms of North Carolina, and has been the subject of attacks by gay rights activists who have accused him of hypocrisy. He was identified as gay in a Boston Magazine article in 1996. "

Do you suppose we'll see whoopsters like Randall Terry and James "Gay Spongebob" Dobson hurry to condemn this bozo? Don't hold your breath....they yet to say even a mildly disapproving word about the gay prostitute who was posing as a reporter at White House press briefings and was given classified documents.

8. Thanks...
Martinez was amazingly dishonest....just read the quotes in the WaPo on April 6-7 and count the contradictions from day to day...

On the sixth he says he didn't bother to investigate, and on the seventh he's talking about how intensive his investigation was...

11. Vanity bump for the "Republican culture of life"...
Phyllis Schlafly on April 4:
In California, the Democratic Attorney General personally intervened in the Laci Peterson case to ensure that her killer was brought to justice. But even Scott Peterson benefited from a full jury trial before being sentenced to death, and he will still enjoy numerous appeals and years of delay. Terri Schiavo was ordered to die by one man who served as judge, jury and executioner.
This is judicial arrogance at its ugliest. The public should reject the myth that supremacist judges can override the governor, the legislature, Congress, the president, common sense, and even the right to life, and use armed police to protect judicial supremacy.


Phyllis Schlafly on April 8:
Phyllis Schlafly, doyenne of American conservatism, said Kennedy's opinion forbidding capital punishment for juveniles "is a good ground of impeachment." To cheers and applause from those gathered at a downtown Marriott for a conference on "Confronting the Judicial War on Faith," Schlafly said that Kennedy had not met the "good behavior" requirement for office and that "Congress ought to talk about impeachment."
