    Hey shokk, are you scaring the newbies?

    Just wanted to post this from my email ...

    Dear Friends,

    We wanted to let you know that Senator McCain will be appearing on CBS' Face the Nation with Bob Schieffer this Sunday, February 8th. He will discuss his efforts to protect taxpayers and pass a stimulus bill that will directly help Americans, create jobs, and provide a jolt to our economy. Please check your local listings for show times in your area.

    Thank you for speaking out this week in support of a real economic stimulus package.

    Sincerely,
    Country First PAC

    Dropping charges "without prejudice" means that they can be brought again.  Charges are "dropped without prejudice" when a prosecutor fears that a conviction won't be attainable at that time, and hopes to obtain a conviction in the future.

    As noted in this story in the Washington Post,

    Friday's meeting [of President Obama with the commander of the Cole and families of victims] may, in part, be to explain that the charges in those cases can be reinstated at a later date in some different form of military commissions system. The tactic was also used by the Bush administration when it wanted to stop various proceedings at Guantanamo. The Pentagon under Bush dismissed without prejudice charges in six cases and reinstated them later in three of those cases.

    If the case had proceeded against Nashiri, a Saudi facing capital charges, a guilty plea could have boxed in the administration. The legal principle of double jeopardy would apply, and it would have been very difficult to move his case to another court, according to defense attorneys.

    Okay -- some people don't!  I just wanted people to be aware that this is not a case of "pardoning" the guy, but rather making sure convictions are obtained that will stick, and avoiding "double jeopardy" -- in other words, to make sure that this guy and others DON'T evade punishment.

    Well, the dems have written the preamble to their own demise. They own it now. If it actually helps they can take credit. Sadly, I think it is going to be the downfall of all of us. But it will pave the way for a new revolution, if the country survives.

    4 years and it is byebye bambam.

    That is so funny Sherri - around my house my kids refer to PBO as BamBam.

    I have heard even the Congressional Budget Office says that this bill will help short-term but long-term we will be worse off. None of the jobs are long-term sustainable jobs - I mean how long will it take to weatherize public housing?

    Vivre,

    Oh yeah?  We're boring? Now you went and did it.

    Who are our turncoats?  Olympia Snowe is one, but I don't know who the other two are.  This is what happens when you join committees, IBC had a whole thesis on it.  You get all that he said, and at the same time a little extra that you want (for whatever) and then you get so excited, you can't wait to sell your country down the tubes.  Benedict Arnold felt those same feelings of joy and excitement, it didn't turn out too well for him in the end, but it must of felt good at the time.

    If they would have stuck together, this plan could have been fixed.  It might have had the backing of more people if it truly was worked to do what the original intent of it was to do....  Create long lasting jobs, not in government but in the private sector.  Now, thanks to a few, they won't get the chance, and we get to pay.

    The other two are , of course, the 'lets-step-across-the-aisle-and-all-have-a-big-group-hug' Arlen Specter and Susan Collins.

    Collins and Snow - wish they would stop calling themselves Republicans.  Well, then again, I guess they can. At least they don't claim to be conservatives.... I believe they often caucas with the dems

    Hi Laura,

    You got here in the nick of time, I was thinking of jumping out of my window when I saw the ACORN vote, (my window is 6 inches off the ground)  I thought better of it because I might trip.  Anyway I needed to make a statement 

    and Welcome.you

    Daisy,

    Right, just a nice community service group, they might even have bridge games on a Wednesday.  Donuts too.  I'll sleep better if I think of them as this wholesome fruadulent vote signing up community organizing group.  Ahhh, I feel better already.

    Rosemary--By chance are you referring to Joe (plugs) Biden.  It was my understanding that with this most recent bout of chemo for Hodgkins Spector was going to let his hair grow in au natural??

    Who names there kid Arlen? He sure is the poster child for term limits. Or is that Teddy the drunk driver, or is it Lurch Kerry, or how about Dick Dirtbag from Illinois, my favorite. Now they are giving millions to ACORN so they can insure the votes for 2 terms for their dear leader. I bet they even try to get rid of term limits for the pres.

    Laura, Welcome. We always enjoy new opinions, except from the people who get nasty.  I think we were all hoping BHO would do a good job, for the sake of our country. But turning us into a socialist nation is not what we had HOPEd for. Bama has started to show his true colors in the past few days and he is looking like everything we feared, a liberal who is only out for himself.

    This bill is going to sink us for decades. I just hope the dems go down with it.

    Vivre---I know its awful but decadently good---  Hazelnuts and chocolate in a spread----Terrible temptation to have in the house.   When I can't stand the temptation anymore I'll heat up a croissant and slather it on there.   Yep unhealthy but we all fall off the wagon now and then. 

    Fortunately, aside from that bottle of temptation- there are no sweets in my house.

    No I was't referring to the nuts but I guess it's appropriate association for today Wink
