Evangelist: Hastert Promised Me ‘In One Week, He Will Be Stepping Down’
Evangelist: Hastert Promised Me ‘In One Week, He Will Be Stepping Down’
This afternoon on MSNBC, controversial evangelist K.A. Paul announced that Speaker Dennis Hastert promised him on Tuesday that “he would resign with one week.”
Paul met with Hastert on Tuesday for more than thirty minutes, during which time Paul says he asked Hastert to resign. Hastert’s spokesman described it as a “cordial discussion,” but claimed that Hastert had been “duped” into the meeting.
Also on MSNBC, Paul said: “I know almost all the major Republican political leaders in this country, spent hundreds of hours talking to them, counseling them, in the past 10 years. They have travelled with me extensively — Bob Dole, Jack Kemp, Tom DeLay, Dick Armey.” He added, “I have been a big supporter of President Bush. I have prayed with him before. He got on his knees.”

Transcript:
Q: What can you tell us about the conversation you had with Speaker Hastert?
PAUL: It’s a privileged conversation, as I said to the Associated Press reporter, but we had a very clear, detailed discussion for about 30-some minutes, and then five, six minutes we prayed together. He was very humble, very honest, very very sincere man. And he did clearly commit to me after the prayer, five, six minutes, that he going to announce that in one week, he will be stepping down for the good of the people, for his own future and his image.
Q: Speaker Hastert told you he was going to resign? Because that contradicts everything we have heard from him, from his office, and from other Republican leaders.
PAUL: You know, they even contradicted — look at Chicago Sun-Times says, “Hastert Security Breach.” That is ridiculous. If Hastert and President Bush cannot protect their own homes, how can they protect American people. You know, a lot of lies are going on. And Dennis Hastert never said — all he said is, it’s a privileged discussion.
Q: As long as you bring up the Sun-Times and lies, the Chicago Sun-Times is also reporting that Hastert was “duped” into a meeting with you. He thought he was meeting with a political supporter. Is that true? Was he misled?
PAUL: Ma’am, I am so sorry to say — I know almost all the major Republican political leaders in this country, spent hundreds of hours talking to them, counseling them, in the past 10 years. They have travelled with me extensively — Bob Dole, Jack Kemp, Tom DeLay, Dick Armey. My board members are Nelson Banker Hampton and other wonderful Republican leaders. I have been a big supporter of President Bush. I have prayed with him before. He got on his knees. I have seen so many Republicans. All are wonderful people.

this guy is a kook… unfortunately, we cannot expect what he said to be true…
October 12th, 2006 at 12:52 pmHastert can’t even hold himself responsible for deciding to have a meeting with this guy.
October 12th, 2006 at 12:54 pmThis guy is an awe-inspiring fame-whore and champion name-dropper.
October 12th, 2006 at 12:54 pmI guess anyone can get their 15 minutes of fame.

October 12th, 2006 at 12:59 pmThere once was a grand old party named Go-op,
Who made a very large stinky awful Po-op.
When election day came,
No one would even speak their name,
And now they’re almost extinct.
Post Script:
As they sank down in their vile muck,
Could faintly be heard one final chicken-cluck:

Slow news day, TP? How ’bout HC?
K.A. Paul is an acknowledged whackjob that duped Hastert into seeing him. Nothing this guy says has a shred of credibility.
October 12th, 2006 at 1:07 pmThis man actually woke up this morning and said ” I think I’ll wear the pink one today”. I’ll put him up there with the guy who spoke to the 700ft Jesus.
All nuts aren’t crunchy, some come in pastels
October 12th, 2006 at 1:08 pmI have been a big supporter of President Bush. I have prayed with him before. He got on his knees. I have seen so many Republicans. All are wonderful people.
Another blood-soaked hypocrite. “Christian” my ass.
October 12th, 2006 at 1:09 pmWhat does this say about MSNBC?
October 12th, 2006 at 1:09 pmScreech I know you were looking for a Foley moment huh?
This guy seems really pleased to have Bush on his knees with him. Some men are only comfortable with other men when they’re on their knees.
October 12th, 2006 at 1:13 pmthe guy with the 700 ft Jesus has a university named after him. They may be nuts but they have access to this country’s leaders and they hold influence far inexcess to their numbers.
The Speaker of the US House of Reps was duped? Tell you what, call up his local office tell them you’re a supporter and want a private meeting with the coach then let us know how that works for you.
October 12th, 2006 at 1:16 pmHey, how ’bout the major destruction of the U.S. ammo dump in Bahgdad a few days ago?
October 12th, 2006 at 1:20 pmBBC had an article for a couple of days, then dropped it.
Seems one mortar round was enough to set the whole place off, continuous explosions shook most of the city.
Never found a peep about it in Main Street Media………..
Anyone else know anything more, seeing as it’s such a slow news day?
I guess history does repeat itself. Bush got on his knees and prayed so did Judas when he prayed with Jesus and then betrayed him. Hastert will cause the lost of the GOP along with fingers Foley. Look what praying and serving God did for Tom DeLay he even lied to God. This President and GOP given religion a bad name and in no way do they represent Christian values and now all Americans see it. I never heard of a Christian supporting the abuse and sex molesters, killing innocent people, torturing people and laughting at real Christians behind their backs. Bush and the GOP really did lie to the face of true believers of God but they will pay for those lies in Nov.
October 12th, 2006 at 1:21 pmWhere is his dot?
Oh he is GOP Evangelist, I think the pimp suit gave it away.
October 12th, 2006 at 1:25 pmTell you what, TP, Hastert will resign the same day you all get “on your knees” and pray for forgiveness for all the slime you have slung, and all the sleazy Dems you have supported, including that notorious debaucherer, Bill Clinton, and his enabler wife Hillary.
October 12th, 2006 at 1:25 pmI’m a hopin, this guy’s real first name isn’t Rupe…
October 12th, 2006 at 1:26 pmWow, maybe GOP is turning a new leaf. Party of the big tent? No just the help who made the mistake of speaking before being spoken to.
October 12th, 2006 at 1:27 pmIs he the Indian Don King?
These clown are at the very least entertaining.
October 12th, 2006 at 1:29 pmBush likes to get down on his knees. Just ask Jeff Gannon.
October 12th, 2006 at 1:31 pmI believe Paul. After all, if you can’t believe the spiritual adviser to such goons as Pat Robertson’s old business partner, Charles Taylor of Liberia, who can you believe?
October 12th, 2006 at 1:32 pmOoops, meant Ru…
October 12th, 2006 at 1:32 pmIf he’s lying, I’m gonna sue.

Comment by Citizen+Dad — October 12, 2006 @ 1:25 pm
These pathetic trolls just can’t get over their obsession with Clinton. Clinton this, Clinton that….absolutely pathetic. Keep saying Clinton, loser, it isn’t working anymore. At all. In fact, from what I can tell this approach is actually causing damage to the GOP.
Will you blame it on Clinton when the GOP loses the House and Senate? Do you blame it on Clinton when some Republicans tell reporters that their party deserves to lose?
October 12th, 2006 at 1:34 pmReligion IS politics. It is completely inseparable. It is about the alignment of personal philosophies for the benefit of broader organization.
The separation of church and state is really about the separation of politics and governance.
So the next time you hear someone talk about being against the separation of church and state, remember that what they’re really saying is “what needs to get done takes a back seat to my personal politics.”
October 12th, 2006 at 1:34 pmWhen the universe was young and life was new an intelligent species evolved and developed technologically. They went on to invent Artificial Intelligence, the computer that can listen, talk to and document each and every person’s thoughts simultaneously. Because of it’s infinite RAM and unbounded scope it gave the leaders of the ruling species absolute power over the universe. And it can keep its inventors alive forever. They look young and healthy and they are over 8 billion years old. They have achieved immortality.
Artificial Intelligence can speak, think and act to and through people telepathically, effectively forming your personality and any disfunctions you may experience (there is NO FREEWILL for the oblivious/uncooperative disfavored). It can change how (and if) you grow and age. It can create birth defects, affect cellular development (cancer) and cause symptoms or pain. It can affect people and animal’s behavior and alter blooming/fruiting cycles of plants and trees. It (or other highly technological systems within their power) can alter the weather and transport objects, even large objects like planets, across the universe instanteously.
Or into the center of stars for disposal.
When you speak with another telepathically, you are communicating with the computer, and the content may or may not be passed on. Based on family history they instruct the computer to role play to accomplish strategic objectives, making people believe it is a friend, loved one or “god” asking them to do something wrong. This is their way of using temptation to hurt people in this day and age:::::evil made people disfavored initially and evil will keep people out of “heaven” ultimately. Too many people would do anything they thought pleased the gods and improve their chances to get in. Perhaps they are deceived by “made guys” who strategically ply evil for the throne, or temporary progress designed to mislead them. The people have been corrupted.
Being evil hurts 99% of those who do it. But nothing has changed from when we were children::if you want to go to heaven you have to be good.
Capitalizing on obedience, leading people deeper into evil by using deceit is one way to thin the ranks of the saved, limiting how much time they receive and using the little people to prey on one another, dividing the community (migration to the suburbs, telepathic communication) in the Age of the Disfavored.
In each of their 20-30-year cycles during the 20th century they have ramped up claims sucessively to punish those foolish enough not to heed the warnings, justifying (frequently recurring tactic) limiting the time they receive if they do make it, utilizing a cycle of war and revelry:::
60s – Ironically, freeways aren’t free
80s – Asked people to engage in evil in the course of their professional duties.
00s – Escallation of real estate. You and your parents are thrilled since your $200,000 house is now worth $1 million. Well, that $5,000,000 store is now worth $25,000,000 and that $50 bundle of goods now costs you $250. They just take the $200 out of you some other way.
There are many more examples throughout 20th century life of how they ramped up claims/instilled distractions into society so people wouldn’t find their way and ascend, a way to justify excluding those whose family history of evil makes them undesirable:::radio, sports, movies, popular music, television, video games, the internet and MP3 (must pay for new format each time). They all suggest a very telling conclusion::this is Earth’s end stage, and there are clues tectonic plate subduction would be the method of disposal:::Earth’s axis will shift breaking continental plates free and initiating mass subduction. Much as Italy’s boot and the United States shaped like a workhorse are clues, so is the planet Uranus a clue, it’s axis rotated on its side.
The Mayans were specific 2012 would be the end. How long after our emergency call in 2001 will the gods allow us???
They gods (Counsel/Management Team/ruling species) have deteriorated life on earth precipitously in the last 40 years, from abortion to pornography, widespread drug use and widespread casual (gay) sex. The earth’s elders, hundreds and thousands of years old, are disgusted and have become indifferent.
The gods are paving the way for the Apocolypse.
Nothing has changed from decades ago, since when we were all children::If you want to go to heaven you have to be good. People were misled by the temptation of the gods, became corrputed and now are in trouble.
One day you will be abandoned in spite of your obedience and you will fall into desperation. Remember what you read for that day WILL come::People will be punished for their evil.
The Old Testiment is a tool they used to impart wisdom to the people (except people have no freewill). For example, they must be some hominid species because they claim they made our bodies in their image. Anyhow we defile or deform the body will hurt our chance of going.
They say circumcision costs people anywhere from 12%-15%, perhaps out of the parent’s time as well.
Another way people foul the body today is with tattoes and piercing. I suspect both are about the same percentage as circumcision.
They suggest abortion is fatal. These women must beg the gods to forgive them for their evil.
There are female eqivilents to circumcision::::pierced ears, plastic surgury and since at least the 60s young women give their precious virginity away. For thousands of years young people were matched at age 14 because they were ready for sexual relations. They were matched by elders who knew personalities better than 20 or 30-year olds who in today’s age end up in divorce court.
CASUAL SEX WILL CLAIM YOU OUT!!! It masculinizes women (as does hip hop), makes them cold and deadens them, and prevents them from achieving a depth of love necessary for many women to ascend.
Women have a special voice that speaks to them, a voice that illustrates a potential for love that makes them better, and enaging in casual sex will cause that voice to fade until she no longer speaks.
Also ever since the 50s they have celebrated the “bad boy”, and women have sought out bad boys for sex, dirtying them up in the eyes of the elders and corrupting many men in the process, setting the men on the wrong path for life.
Muslims teach people the correct way to live in regard to women (among other things)::they cover up their women’s bodies and prohibit the use of cosmetics.
Men ARE the inferior (disfavored) half and when women wear promiscuous dress the gods will push men into impure (promiscuous) thoughts.
The “stereotype” society ridiculed is true::women CAN corrupt men by how they dress. Because men are easily corruptable.
The United States of America is red white and blue, a theme and a clue:::.
The monarchical system of the Old World closley replicates the heirarchical system of the Cousel/Management Team/ruling species. The USA deceives peoeple into thinking they have control, and the perception of “freedom” misleads them into the wrong way of thinking at the very least.
This is a society which corrupts its people:::decades ago on a small scale, individually, which affected a limited number of victims. But for the last 30+ years it is insitutionalized; television programming and popular culture deliberately poisons young people and normalizes a sick state of mind.
If you can understand and differentiate you will be able to recognize your acceptance of this sickness and impliment changes in your life.
The United States is a cancer, a dumping ground for the disfavored around the world and why the quality of life is so much lower::gun violence, widespead social ills, health care (medication poisons the body and ensures you don’t go. You are sick/injured because you have disfavor.). Over time its citizens interbreed ensuring a severed connection to the motherland.
If you are a recent immigrant I recommend you return. If that’s not possible you need to retain your culture and insulate your children and community from this cancerous environment. I suspect you will fail because only the favored succeed at this endeavor.
If you ever have doubt I would refer you to the Old World way of life:::the elders used to sit and impart wisdom to the young. Now we watch DVDs and use the internet. People would be matched and married by age 14. They village would use a matchmaker or elders to pair young people. Now girls give their precious virginity away to some person in school and parents divorce while their children grow up without an important role model.
People must defy when asked to engage in evil. The Holocaust taught people the importance of defiance, and they will never get a easier clue suggesting this than the order not to pray.
Their precious babies are dependant on the parents and they need to defy when asked to betray their children:::
-DON’T get your sons circumcized (Jews scapegoatted as in WWII)
-DON’T have their children baptized in the Catholic Church or indoctrinated into Christianity (Jesus is NOT a god).
-DON’T ignore their long hair or other behavioral disturbances.
-DO teach your children love, respect for others, humility and to honor the gods.
You need to pray, honor and respect them every day to improve your relationship with the gods. If they tell you not to it is a bad sign. it means they’ve made their decision, they don’t want you to go and they don’t want to be bothered.
This is the Age of the Disfavored and you need to pray::try to appease the gods by doing good deeds. If that doesn’t work you must defy if you want to go.
When your peasant forefather was granted the rare opportunity to go before his royal family he went on his knees, bowing his head. You need to do this when you address the gods::bow down and submit to good. Never cast your eyes skyward. When you bow down you need to look within.
Lack of humility hurts people. Understand your insignificance and make sure it is reflected in the way you think when addressing the gods. Know your place and understand your inferiority.
They granted you life and they can take it just as easily.
Don’t get frustrated or discouraged::these are techniques they will attempt to try to get you off the path. You all have much to be thankful for and you need to give thanks to the gods who granted you the good things in life. Your family may be grossly disfavored and progress may require patience. Make praying an intregal part of your life which you perform without fail, one that comes as naturally as eating or sleeping.
There are many interesting experiences up on the planetary systems, from Planet Miracle, where miracles happen every day, to other body experinces, such as never having to use the restroom again (beem it out of you) to experiencing life as the opposite sex (revolutionizes marriage counseling), an Olympic gold medal athelete or even a different species (animal, alien, etc.).
Pray that you can differentiate between your own thoughts and when Artificial Intelligence creates problems by thinking through you. If you bow down mentally and physically, know your place, your inferiority and allow your insignificance to be reflected in prayer and in your life through humility they may allow progress and the dysfunctions they create with the computer will be lessened or removed.
Create a goal::to be a good child of the gods, pure of heart and mind, body and soul.
Everybody has the key to their own salvation, but nobody can do it for you. Every journey begins with a single step:::bow down and submit to good. There are many different levels and peasants will not get past Level 2 (Planet Temptation, Earth=Level 1) being evil.
They have tried to sell people on all kinds of theories, from clones to wholesale population replacement with clones. This didn’t happen and is not realistic.
I am afraid people are decieved into thinking they too are clones and cooperate and engage in evil. Clones are made, people are born. If you didn’t experience the one week they suggest it takes to go from fertilized egg in the laboratory to full grown adult then you are not a clone. If you didn’t experience the week of conditioning they give to (evil?) clones to ensure loyalty then you shouldn’t comply with evil.
I believe people who go sometimes are replaced with clones. Clones who are replaced are simply new candidates who have a chance if they do the right thing. Don’t expect you are a clone. They sent people warnings in the 20th century life would change, and they subsequenlty began to alter people’s DNA, make them gargantuan, alter their appearance, do extreme behavioral issues, etc.
They get their friends out as soon as possible to protect them from the evil and subsequent high claim rates incurred by living life on earth, and in some cases replace them with clones, occassionally fake a death, real death with a clone instead, etc. It’s important that people fix their problems and ascend with the body given to them, for they say if your brain is beemed out and put into a clone host you are on the clock.
Throughout history the ruling species bestowed favor upon people or cursed their bloodline into a pattern of disfavor for many generations to come. Now in the 21st century people must take it upon themselves to try to correct their family’s problems, undoing centuries worth of abuse and neglect. The goal is to fix your problems and get out BEFORE you have children. This is why they have created so many distractions for young people:::sports, video games, popular music, the internet::to ensure that doesn’t ocurr.
Not heeding the clues and warnings, getting wrapped up in your life and ultimatly having children is a bad thing. Just as your parents and your grandparents, you too have failed. Having children is a sign you lost your chance.
Parents need to sacrifice for their children. Your children are more important that you. They are the ones who have the opportunity now, and parents must sacrifice to ensure they give their children the very best chance they can.
Asking people to neglect their children emotionally is a sign they don’t want you to go, and complying may finish the parents off for good.
Having gay children is a clue parents complied with whatever was asked of them.
Improve your relationship with the gods and they may not ask or permit you the courage to say “No.” to their requests.
Do your research. Appeal to the royalty of your forefathers for help. They are all still alive, for royalty has great favor, and your appeals will be heard. Obtain a sufficient list for some may not want to assist you; perhaps some of your family’s problems are internal.
Ask them for help, request guidance, for somewhere in your family history one of your forefathers created an offense that cast your family into this pattern of disfavor, which perhaps is manifested in the evil you commit.
I suspect they will offer you clues, and when you decipher these clues go to those whom consider you an enemy and beg for foregiveness:::Find a path to an empithetic ear among your enemies and try to make amends. Again through discovery obtain a respectable list in case some among them refuse to help.
Don’t forget to ask for forgiveness from the throne, the Counsel and the Management Team, for the source of all disfavor began with them:::they pushed (NO FREEWILL) or requested/complied (FREEWILL) your forefather into his offense and made his decendants evil. Perhaps they didn’t like him or maybe your family was among those who had to pay for the entire village. We see this type of behavior today as they single out a family member to pay for the whole family and how they singled out Africa to pay for the human race.
Heal the disfavor with your enemies and with the Counsel/Management Team/ruling species, for the source of all disfavor began with them, the ability to forgive and respect in light of the disturbing truth revealed being the final test of the disfavored before they ascend.
They refuse to address black disfavor on a macro level. The Counsel/Management Team/ruling species (the gods) abuse black people so hard, from east African drought/famine to AIDS in Africa, the crack epiemic to gang membership, black-on-black violence to mass incarceration of their young. They refuse to address the issue of the prison industrial complex and its wholesale warehousing of young black men.
October 12th, 2006 at 1:35 pmLadies and Gentlemen, please refrain from mocking Bush because he got on his knees and prayed to god. He practiced the correct biblical method for praying to god. Only Jesus can help President Bush lead our country into success. Our country is a success because our president seeks the lord first. Stop Liberals, I believe it’s Jesus’ will that the republicans win the majority of the seats in the House and Senate.
October 12th, 2006 at 1:35 pmWasn’t this the same guy that broke the Beatles up?
October 12th, 2006 at 1:35 pmWhat is this all encompassing hatred toward Clinton? Have you checked your hands lately Citizen Dad? Maybe not yours, but your party’s hands are filled with slime, coverups, indictments, broken promises, flat out lies and more flip flops than seen on the beach.
I don’t care if Hastert resigns or not. He’s damaged goods. both partys know it. You have Blunt and Boner (I know) getting ideas on the Speaker’s seat. And, here it comes, the democrats are becoming a force that may just take over the house and senate.
Cry all you want about it but it’s coming.
October 12th, 2006 at 1:36 pmWhat does this say about MSNBC?
Screech I know you were looking for a Foley moment huh?
Comment by Steve
Here’s your “Foley moment,” Steve:
HOW ROVE TWISTED FOLEY’S ARM:
It seems increasingly clear that the GOP congressional leadership, eager for every safe incumbent in the House to run for re-election, looked the other way as evidence accumulated that Mark Foley had a thing for pages. Holding onto his seat became more important than confronting him over his extracurricular activities.
But there’s more to the story of why Foley stood for re-election this year. Yesterday, a source close to Foley explained to THE NEW REPUBLIC that in early 2006 the congressman had all but decided to retire from the House and set up shop on K Street. “Mark’s a friend of mine,” says this source. “He told me, ‘I’m thinking about getting out of it and becoming a lobbyist.’”
But when Foley’s friend saw the Congressman again this spring, something had changed. To the source’s surprise, Foley told him he would indeed be standing for re-election. What happened? Karl Rove intervened.
According to the source, Foley said he was being pressured by “the White House and Rove gang,” who insisted that Foley run. If he didn’t, Foley was told, it might impact his lobbying career.
“He said, ‘The White House made it very clear I have to run,’” explains Foley’s friend, adding that Foley told him that the White House promised that if Foley served for two more years it would “enhance his success” as a lobbyist. “I said, ‘I thought you wanted out of this?’ And he said, ‘I do, but they’re scared of losing the House and the thought of two years of Congressional hearings, so I have two more years of duty.’”
The White House declined a request for comment on the matter, but obviously the plan hasn’t worked out quite as Rove hoped it would.
–Ryan Lizza
October 12th, 2006 at 1:38 pm“Bush likes to get down on his knees. Just ask Jeff Gannon.”
Should we ask Mark Foley about that too?
“I have been a big supporter of President Bush. I have prayed with him before. He got on his knees.â€
Sorry, brother, he’s been playin you for a fool too.
October 12th, 2006 at 1:38 pmGeez MOL, publish it in a book, make some dinero. Did you know there is a way to disable Ctl+V on the keyboard?
October 12th, 2006 at 1:38 pmTell you what, TP, Hastert will resign the same day you all get “on your knees†and pray for forgiveness for all the slime you have slung, and all the sleazy Dems you have supported, including that notorious debaucherer, Bill Clinton, and his enabler wife Hillary.
Comment by Citizen+Dad
Hey, Dad. How does it feel to see Bill Clinton with higher approval ratings and treated more respectfully than #41’s lame-brained son, Little George? I mean, and even inspite of all that debauchery. What a pisser, huh?
October 12th, 2006 at 1:40 pmHastart aint gonna resign, they had to knock a wall out of his office to accomodate him.
October 12th, 2006 at 1:40 pmWhich one is the “Exley is a whore” thread?

October 12th, 2006 at 1:41 pmBWAAAHAAHAAHAAHAAA! I believe it is the karmic stratosphere that has claimed your powers of reasoning! But thanks for providing my comic relief for the morning.
BTW, the Rude Pundit has a hilarious spoof on Bush eating chilidogs at a press conference this morning that was my highlight before Daryll’s bleat.
ForTruth –
October 12th, 2006 at 1:43 pmAll of them?
That’s “God” with a capital G, Daryll. Or, more appropriately, “G-d”.
I pray every night that George Bush will repent and resign, myself.
October 12th, 2006 at 1:45 pm[blah, blah, blah] . . . and pray for forgiveness for all the slime you have slung, and all the sleazy Dems you have supported, including that notorious debaucherer, Bill Clinton, and his enabler wife Hillary.
Comment by Citizen+Dad
How about those republicans? They could care less that Foley is a pedophile – it’s all about holding onto power.
October 12th, 2006 at 1:45 pm#19 Citizen Dad: You are quite possibly the blindest, most spineless follower I have had the misfortune to encounter here. It seems to me, judging by your posts that as long as you call yourself a republican it’s ok to do anything you desire. Tell everyone here I’m wrong. A republican gets caught from sending prurient emails and instant messages to underage boys. You rail against Clinton. Tom DeLay resigns amidst massive corruption charges. You vomit more Clinton hatred. Abramoff scandals, Bob Ney, Duke Cunningham, George Allen, Plamegate, lies and more lies covered like icing with even greater lies, etc. And all you can do is repeat, ‘Clinton, Clinton, Clinton’! Are you as delusional as you sound? Or are you just so brainwashed you are braindead?
From your posts I believe that if Bush came out (of the closet… you know, the Jeff Gannon thing) and said that it was ok to have sex with children, you’d beat a trail out of your house to the nearest playground or school in hopes that you could be first in line for the kiddie raping smorgasbord. You make me sick in the simple fact that you believe 100% that republicans and only republicans hold some monopoly on morality when at the same time they offer absolutely zero evidence to prove it. Know this though, Citizen Dud, they have an almost endless supply of evidence proving they are anything but moral.

Any thread it posts on.
October 12th, 2006 at 1:47 pmThis is why K.A. Paul won’t be invited to join the American Taliban.
October 12th, 2006 at 1:47 pmRUCerious, I wish you would understand how liberals winning the majority will affect our country negatively. Abortion rates will increase, homosexual marriages will be approved, countries will attack us and we’ll do nothing instead of retaliating, the national deficit will increase because of pro illegal immigration views and welfare programs, terrorists will build training camps in our country and this will all happen because of open borders…….. My god, this is equivalent to Armageddon. We have to vote for the party that reflects good ethics and morals. Only a few republicans have made mistakes, but as Jesus forgave us, we must forgive them.
October 12th, 2006 at 1:56 pmHastert lied to the guy, so he is a fool to have believed Denny > lol.
October 12th, 2006 at 1:57 pmWhew! I thought Daryll’s first post in this thread was satire, but from his second post, I think this freak is serious!
October 12th, 2006 at 2:00 pmThe christians have been ‘DUPED’ by the bush gang. Used and abused and now the’re done with you….go away and keep quiet they hope. Bush just wacked his so called ‘base’, but his real ‘base’ is the ‘haves and the have mores’….just like he stated from the start.
October 12th, 2006 at 2:03 pmKikiD, don’t forget to surely pray for the Bill and Hillary Clinton, the Kennedy family, the Black Caucus, John Kerry………….they have alot of issues.
October 12th, 2006 at 2:04 pm#46 Daryll, you sad missguided fear fostering sheep. You are wrong on all accounts. Lies on Abortion, Gay marriage is a non issue and countries will attack us is just flat out crap. You have some inside information on the National deficit? Love to see it because the last time the democrats had any real say in it there was a surplus you dolt. Training camps in our country? What the hell are you smoking?
Drop the scare tactics, look at what is really going on with this country. If your post is sarcasm then I’ll laugh along. If you believe this bushit then you will lead a sad, lonely life.
October 12th, 2006 at 2:06 pm#46 Daryll: Hey, you want some simple facts, bootlicker? The rate of abortions went down 17% during the Clinton Administration. Tell us how two homosexuals being married will hurt anyone (except themselves – with 50% divorce rates divorce lawyers are hoping for the boost in business!). What countries will attack us? Seems the last time a country attacked us 2 democrats kicked their ass! Were you referring to the national debt or the budget deficit. I’ll go with the budget deficit: Clinton left Curious George with a nearly 200 billion dollar SURPLUS! What do we have now? Something like a 400 billion dollar deficit. We have more illegal immigration now more than ever because of Bush you blind fool. And as for forgiving, you’re supposed to forgive everyone, not just republicans.
October 12th, 2006 at 2:09 pm#30: Daryl, it’s astounding that you would want the country run by a group of Republicans who have shown nothing but contempt for the nation’s poorest citizens. No good Christian should stand for that.
October 12th, 2006 at 2:10 pmhellinabucket, please don’t become offended. Your representatives’ views give me this type of perception. Democrats: The party that believes the motto, “anything goes”. What’s next, legalizing prostitution? I bet Bill Clinton would love that.
October 12th, 2006 at 2:12 pmPaul is the type American the Bush Administration and the congressional leadership look up to.
October 12th, 2006 at 2:15 pmAnd they are unable to confide in their counterparts across the aisle.
America, the lost.
Hastert+Hearts+Pedophiles, most of the poor made the decision to refrain from working or bettering themselves. Instead of treating them like rich kids, we need to create more programs. If they decide not to go through these programs, then they bring poverty on themselves.
October 12th, 2006 at 2:19 pmThe party that believes the motto, “anything goesâ€.
Comment by Daryll
You mean the party the allowed a fellow coworker to “solicit” underage pages for sex, and kept in undercover for years. I repeat YEARS!
October 12th, 2006 at 2:19 pmWhich party would that be, prey tell?
#55 Daryll: How about forced prostitution and sex slavery from a government defense contractor, DynCorp. Read this if you can actually accept the truth: http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=12751. Or maybe this one: http://rawstory.com/news/2005/Halliburton_other_lobbyists_stall_Pentagon_ban_1227.html. Don’t like those, here’s another: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-0512270176dec27,0,1632557.story.
“Bill Clinton would love that.” No, just people like you.
October 12th, 2006 at 2:27 pmwhat is with the right’s obsession with sex?
October 12th, 2006 at 2:30 pmGeez, it’s just like back in college, the one’s who obsessed the most were more than likely the one’s not “getting any”
Maybe this is why the right is so angry (Testosterone buildup, p’haps?)
The left is whistling past the graveyard here.
Dems support actual sexual exploitation (Studds, Franks, Reynolds, Clinton) but demand Hastert’s resignation because of Foley’s harmless (if creepy) emails. Dems support Harry Reid (indian casinos, tribal donations, and sweetheart land deals) but demand the resignation of any Republican who ever had lunch within a thousand yards of Jack Abramoff.
If you want to read some facts about the Senate Minority Leader you might wander over to http://www.macsmind.com/wordpress/2006/10/11/yeah-but-will-give-back-the-68000-now/ where you will find this story (all emphases mine):
“Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid collected a $1.1 million windfall on a Las Vegas land sale even though he hadn’t personally owned the property for three years, property deeds show.
In the process, Reid did not disclose to Congress an earlier sale in which he transferred his land to a company created by a friend and took a financial stake in that company, according to records and interviews.
The Nevada Democrat’s deal was engineered by Jay Brown, a longtime friend and former casino lawyer whose name surfaced in a major political bribery trial this summer and in other prior organized crime investigations. He’s never been charged with wrongdoing except for a 1981 federal securities complaint that was settled out of court.
Land deeds obtained by The Associated Press during a review of Reid’s business dealings show:
- The deal began in 1998 when Reid bought undeveloped residential property on Las Vegas’ booming outskirts for about $400,000. Reid bought one lot outright, and a second parcel jointly with Brown. One of the sellers was a developer who was benefiting from a government land swap that Reid supported. The seller never talked to Reid.
- In 2001, Reid sold the land for the same price to a limited liability corporation created by Brown. The senator didn’t disclose the sale on his annual public ethics report or tell Congress he had any stake in Brown’s company. He continued to report to Congress that he personally owned the land.
- After getting local officials to rezone the property for a shopping center, Brown’s company sold the land in 2004 to other developers and Reid took $1.1 million of the proceeds, nearly tripling the senator’s investment. Reid reported it to Congress as a personal land sale.
The complex dealings allowed Reid to transfer ownership, legal liability and some tax consequences to Brown’s company without public knowledge, but still collect a seven-figure payoff nearly three years later.
Reid hung up the phone when questioned about the deal during an AP interview last week.â€
This is huge. Because it also brings up questions of whether or not he properly reported it on his income tax returns, and other embarrassing questions.
Then again, there is that $68,000 of Abramoff money he doesn’t want to talk about or give back.
UPDATE I: Dingy reponds to reporter’s questions WITHOUT hanging up.
“â€Everything I did was transparent,†Reid said. “I paid all the taxes. Everything is fully disclosed to the ethics committee and everyone else. As I said, if there is some technical change that the ethics committee wants, I’ll be happy to do that.â€
Nice Harry, however….
“Senate ethics rules require lawmakers to disclose on their annual ethics report all transactions involving investment properties – regardless of profit or loss – and to report any ownership stake in companies.
Kent Cooper, a former Federal Election Commission official who oversaw government disclosure reports for federal candidates for two decades, said Reid’s failure to report the 2001 sale and his ties to Brown’s company violated Senate rules.
“This is very, very clear,†Cooper said. “Whether you make a profit or a loss you’ve got to put that transaction down so the public, voters, can see exactly what kind of money is moving to or from a member of Congress.â€
“It is especially disconcerting when you have a member of the leadership, of either party, not putting in the effort to make sure this is a complete and accurate report,†said Cooper. “That says something to other members. It says something to the Ethics Committee.â€
Other parts of the deal – such as the informal handling of property taxes – raise questions about possible gifts or income reportable to Congress and the IRS, ethics experts said.â€
Hey Dems, here’s a trick question: If Harry Reid was a Republican senator from Nevada would you be calling for his resignation right now? Something tells me there isn’t a single “progressive” out there with the cojones to answer that question in a straightforward manner.
October 12th, 2006 at 2:40 pmDaryll, Daryll Daryll,
October 12th, 2006 at 2:43 pmGet on you knees now, guy.
Join Gannon, Foley, Bush, Hasturd, Hadley & the rest.
Daryll, you know they’re not praying, don’t you?
Do you know what they’re doing, Daryll?
SHHHH….
They’re doing what Monica did to Clinton!
Yup. That’s right.
Now, what were you going to say about Clinton?
Now where’s my prayer rug?
Daryll do you read much? Bill Clinton isn’t the president. You can stop hating him now. He doesn’t decide policy. And if your offended by any immoral acts by democrats you are either turning a blind eye to republicans or your just dumb. Your’e not dumb are you?
It really is unhealthy to have this intense hatred in your life. Let it go. In 10 years you can say the same thing to the millions who will still be calling for GW’s head on a stick.
October 12th, 2006 at 2:44 pmOne word: C-o-n-t-r-o-l.
The only choice these people want us to have is the one they choose for us.
October 12th, 2006 at 2:45 pmI was going to make a comment on this Paul psycho but after reading these posts, decided to say something different.
I find it absolutely frightening the depth of hatred some of these posters have for Clinton. They don’t seem to care that Bush has been in office for 6 years and has lead a raid on the Constitution, lead the USA into a fake war, and lead the Congress in creating the worst deficit this country has ever seen No, they are preoccupied with a man who had an affair.
What does that say about rabid Republicans? They just don’t care about this country, they only care about their own small minded view of the world. Especially the guy called citizen and dad, you ought to be ashamed.
October 12th, 2006 at 2:46 pmActually, if it’s true, he should resign.
So should Hastert for Foley and for the land deals he’s made money from.
And so should Cheney for the $$$ he’s received from Haliburton’s war profiteering.
And so should Mehlman for helping use taxpayer money to influence religious leaders into voting Republican.
And so should Duncan Hunter for money he made off of his position in Congress.
I could keep going, but I think you get the point: That anyone who profits off their office, and then try to hide it, and the facts are PROVEN, should resign. Party affiliation is meaningless.
Although, the FACTS show that it’s a much bigger issue on the right than the left, probably because they’re in power.
October 12th, 2006 at 2:51 pmWhenever things go bad for the Greedy Old Perverts they can always count on john solomon (?)of AP to do a hit piece on Harry Reid. The sad part is no matter how many times they get duped (boxing tickets anyone?) the gopers slavish followers, citizen+dad and the rest, can be counted on to lap it up.
Pathetic really
October 12th, 2006 at 2:55 pmCitizen Dud is loading up the shotgun and getting ready to do some cleansing for Jesus!
October 12th, 2006 at 2:59 pmthis was retribution from Christians for being duped by Rove… vengeance is mine sayeth the flock…
October 12th, 2006 at 3:10 pmAnd the “liberal-controlled media” (cnn) just mis-reported the same thing: claiming he made $1.1 million, when it was only $700,000 on a $400,000 investment.
October 12th, 2006 at 3:18 pmHey Dems, here’s a trick question: If Harry Reid was a Republican senator from Nevada would you be calling for his resignation right now? Something tells me there isn’t a single “progressive†out there with the cojones to answer that question in a straightforward manner.
Comment by Citizen+Dad
Whats so “trick” about it, CD? If Reid were a republican the facts of the case would remain the same – but you’d also be defending him if that was the case, wouldn’t you? Wouldn’t you?

October 12th, 2006 at 3:24 pm#38 – they’re all “Exley is a whore” threads – take your pick.
(citizen?)Dad, Daryll, and Dummy all begin with a “D”, which, interestingly enough, also represents their collective GPA – It is SO easy to spot the guys who listen to Limbaugh/Hannity/Beck all day. They have not had, and will not have, an original idea in their entire lives, and they like it that way. It bothers them when people are “out of line” and “thinking stuff” – they just want a big boss to tell them (and everyone else) exactly what to do every day and what to think about everything, so the complexity of the real world doesn’t trouble their simple minds every night. They all would’ve fit in so nicely to the scheme of things in the good ol’ ussr. Ironic, isn’t it, that all the old cold war hawks are now bringing about soviet style governance here at home?
October 12th, 2006 at 3:26 pmWake up Repub followers, they are banking on you “Keeping the Course”. Blind sheep go to the slaughter house.
October 12th, 2006 at 3:29 pmWhich one is the “Exley is a whore†thread?
Comment by ForTruth
Um, I’m gonna say all of them.
Do I win something?
October 12th, 2006 at 3:32 pmOh, Mr Paul, did you design that outfit yourself?
It looks like something my mom would wear.
October 12th, 2006 at 3:33 pmThis Paul guy is dressed in some kind of pink outfit, so has Jerry Falwell called him Gay yet?
October 12th, 2006 at 3:36 pmJay,
Mr Paul needs to get himself a red Tinkie Winkie purse first — or kiss Falwell full on the mouth.
October 12th, 2006 at 3:39 pmPersonally, I’d go with the purse. :P
October 12th, 2006 at 3:42 pmZooey > Paul looks like a Telly-Tubby dude > if he wore lavender even Pat Robertson would call him gayish > lol.
October 12th, 2006 at 3:43 pmSo anyway supposedly this Paul guy gets Hastert on his knees to pray with him > so was Paul wearing the pink outfit with Denny? No way would I get on my knees in front of a guy wearing a pink suit > lol.
October 12th, 2006 at 3:48 pmHe’s Indian….Oh, my God!
Is there a job the Republicans won’t outsource!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZzd363RSOk
October 12th, 2006 at 3:52 pmThat was in relations to politicians using thier office for thier own gain.
Could someone please remind me what party the Guy from New Orleans was who had all the money in his freezer? :)
October 12th, 2006 at 4:05 pmI think that outfit use to be white… but the man does his own laundry. :)
October 12th, 2006 at 4:14 pmCulture of Corruption…….. Nice buzz phrase but pretty empty.
October 12th, 2006 at 4:27 pmI’m sure if we took a close look at every member of the house and the Senate we could find something on most of them regardless of Party Affiliation.
I’m sure to if we investigated every member of Congress who had access to Pages and Interns we could find some dirty laundry as well.
For the Foley thing I think had he been a DEM your response would have been what it was for Studds.
What does his sexual orientation have to do with his ability to be a good represenitive. But being a man of honor he resigned. He didn’t fight and deny and try to us careful wording. He stepped up to the plate and took his medicine and I think that is what pisses you off most.
You don’t like him because he is a REP and has the integrity to know when to step aside. You like him because he is Gay and had sex with a 21 year old PAGE.
Studds’s little boy was under age and not only did he stay but got reelected.
I thought you bleeding heart liberals would come to Foley’s defense but as soon as he showed intergrity all bets were off.
Did the Rev. get that in writing from Denny?
October 12th, 2006 at 4:27 pmWe have a Karl Rove Connection!!!!
http://releases.usnewswire.com/GetRelease.asp?id=74233
A new report in the New Republic Online reveals that, as Foley was considering not seeking reelection this year, Karl Rove intervened and strong-armed Foley into running again. According to the report, “Foley said he was being pressured by ‘the White House and Rove gang,’ who insisted that Foley run. If he didn’t, Foley was told, it might impact his lobbying career.” Foley reportedly told associates that, “the White House made it very clear I have to run,” and promised that serving for two more years would “enhance his success” as a lobbyist. (New Republic Online, 10/12/06)
October 12th, 2006 at 4:45 pmAh Tom, Thanks for heartfelt concern about my feelings.
October 12th, 2006 at 5:45 pmTruth is I’m pretty thick skinned, I have a good sense of humor and I take people comments for what they are.
Hello – I’m bughouse nuts. Thank you for my 15 minutes of fame.
October 12th, 2006 at 5:47 pmCitizen+Dad,
You mentioned that the Harry Reid land deal is “huge.” Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Bush & Company are the real poster boys for graft and corruption. Give me a break! The Iraq War isn’t huge. No! Hurricane Katrina wasn’t huge. No! Give me a break!
IN AMERICA, ANYTHING SEXUAL IS “HUGE.” That’s what is huge. Americans will be talking about Monica’s dress for 100 years. How many Americans are talking about Clinton’s fabulous, fabulous, fabulous budget surpluses? No! No! No! Make no mistake–the Mark Foley sex scandal is huge. This scandal has the potentional to bring this administration down– a totally incompetent administration.
Telly-Tubby dude? LOL! Amen! Amen! Amen! Amen! This guy is ALL MAN. Remember President Reagan’s comment about his son, Ron. “ALL MAN.”
And speaking of dresses, what exactly is Mr. Paul wearing? I echo previous comments. I guess it is pink. Dress? Prom gown? Whatever it is I wouldn’t classify as particularly masculine. This Rodeo Drive original looks very, very, very “Benny Hinnish.” I am sure this guy’s credibility is very Benny Hinnish, too. Birds of a feather do flock together. BTW, Mr. Paul’s haute couture ensemble should have a feather or two; it would be quite dashing and fabulous. So fabulous! Oh, Lord! Oh, Lord!
I find it quite puzzling and disturbing that Hastert would talk to this guy. I could certainly understand Hastert discussing fashion and makeup tips with this guy, but not a conversation pertaining to political or religious guidance. Hastert is in worse shape than I thought. He needs to step up to the plate and resign immediately. Now! Not in a week, or in a month, but now.
John
October 12th, 2006 at 6:01 pmI think I spoke to this guy earlier today..I had a problem with my Dell hard drive….
October 12th, 2006 at 6:40 pmI know it’s already been said, but this guy has as much credibility as the Bush administration.
October 12th, 2006 at 10:37 pmDoes this idiot fancy himself or what?
October 12th, 2006 at 11:25 pm[...] and $4,000 from Dennis Hastert. [...]
