Not A Word.
I have an hour commute to my job and I frequently listen to talk radio. RW talk radio...ok, I have a strong stomach.

Anyway, I listened carefully on my way home last night to 3 different RW talk show. Not a word about the Conyers letter. This is a different tactic. Normally they would be spouting venom and riducule...not a word.

2. Perhaps they're scared?
:scared: Also, sadly the tsunami is big news, though our MSM sure know how to squeeze a story for all it's worth. And this story has legs for awhile.

3. Now what would make you think that they'd say anything about the letter?
I mean b4r here. They lie, cheat, steal, lie, and lie.

:shrug:

4. It seems to me that they've been using the new
strategy of simply ignoring important developments. It works pretty well, I'd say, since most of the sheeples don't know what's been going on up until now.:spank:

5. Guys, it's all about racism.....
The racist Repukes don't care because it's only BLACK Congressmen that are complaining right now.

6. they've "dissappeared" it...
They've made it a non-story.

What you don't know won't (confuse, incite, enlighten, empower, free, etc.) you.
:grr: :nuke:

7. If the Repub MSM Machine is NOT wailing on this... They know something...
Seriously, the marching orders come down from on high DAILY (and I'm sure they get INSTANT messages sometimes too), and if there isn't a PEEP about Conyers freeking STANDING UP, which is SUCH CHUM IN THE WATER for Rush Limburger (as my mom UN-intentionally always calls him, which makes me double-chuckle) and the rest, then they are SILENT ON PURPOSE ... which means the orders are DO NOT MENTION CONYERS -- which I would hazard means the generals of the * admin are FREEKING OUT RIGHT NOW.

When I learned how the theo-cons managed to take over the "Republican polity*", it made so much sense! Over the last 20+ years they basically BUM-RUSHED local Republican meetings by going en-masse, asking lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of questions, to the point where, ahem, "real Republicans" (I CAN"T BELIEVE I JUST SAID THAT!!** :)) would GET TIRED AND GO HOME, feeling bored and bewildered by these new members with their million stupid questions. Enough to slowly, month-by-month, participate less and less... All the while the theo-cons are VOTING THEMSELVES IN to all these local offices! Local Dog Catcher then steps up and wins Regional Dog Catcher who then steps up and wins State Dog Catcher who then steps up and wins (EGAD!) FUCKING PRESIDENT DOG CATCHER.

You see how that works??

THEY BORED THE REAL REPUBLICANS AWAY!

Devious... god damned robots I say.

Anyhoo, *&co. KNOW their robots, like Asimov's, have one pesky "programming law" that if triggered will FTITA:

DON'T GET CAUGHT ! ! !

You break that one and their 1st Law of Theobotics runs this code in their brain:
  1. "Jesus _wouldn't_ get caught I mean, do anything evil;
  2. these guys are, thus, NOT like Jesus,
  3. therefore they must be like Satan, therefore
  4. THEY MUST BE DESTROYED"


Glory faith and begora, you gotta love FAITH (aka "follow the programming laws!") -- and nothing like a little black propaganda being turned on it's creators.

If, behind closed doors on Jan6, there is an unveiling of SERIOUS hardcore evidence being kept secret from us, and of course the "enemy", the even the Theo-cons will turn on them.

In fact, with the right "triple-x" evidence, it could be like a "nuclear bomb", wiping-out/purge of "the evil doers".

That'd be a sight for sore eyes!

I think "Stealthy Team Kerry" has got these bastards boxed in finally.

It is is my hope their SEa Air Land team has alllll the bases covered for their D-Day landing on Jan 6.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL -- Kerry knows it.

All the best,
{B^)
FULL_METAL_HAT



* Polity is such a perfect word I have to share!
NOUN: Inflected forms: pl. pol·i·ties
1. The form of government of a nation, state, church, or organization. 2. An organized society, such as a nation, having a specific form of government: “His alien philosophy found no roots in the American polity” (New York Times).

BTW, I am already trying to "reclaim" the word "Republican". As we all know if you searched for another unifying characteristic, all of them would probably be classified as psychologically needy in a way that allows them to "look the other way" at bullshit going on around them -- it's not their fault they bought in hook-line-and-sinker to the neo-con's man-boy and his clubhouse pals -- they're the people who buy the shitty used cars! Pity over hate is my creed. Though a little hate will be needed on Jan 6, to "get their attention".

November 7



Amazed, amused, and sad, all at once... :-(

That's my mantra, and I'm sticking to it!

8. Hmmm, could it be they know something
and don't want to bring attention to it (even in a negative way) so it could go quietly into the night?

10. i've had the same thought
that it's not so much 'ignoring' it, it's 'keeping it on the DL'.

12. Are they instead talking about how generous the US
is per the tsunami - and ignoring how much more countries like Great Britain, France and Japan are giving?
