    You can also email your Senator’s offices at http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

    It is good to finally see a bill like this in the Senate. I hope it passes.


  2. Tobey Tall says:

    Ok I vote for it


  3. Patrick1 says:

    By all means make the taxpayers pay for your rants.


  4. Patrick1 says:

    Hey I came on here looking for the story about Fred Thompson kicking Michael Moore’s communist ass!!!

    Where is it??


  5. Tom3 says:

    Typical fascist Repuke troll. He hates our freedom.

  7. Tom3 says:

    Typical Repuke troll, trying to derail a topic he can’t win on.

    Go back under your bridge, troll.


  8. Patrick1 says:

    Call direct cheap moonbats.


  9. Jim Wolf359 says:

    Instapundit has about as much credibility as you Patty1. Which means it has none, nada, zippo.


  10. Vinnie says:

    Patrick,

    I’m unclear what you’re motivation is in coming here and trying to hijack message board threads. If you’re trying to show the world that you’re a petulant, ignorant, ranting child, then you’re succeeding. You are definitely giving conservatives a bad name.


  11. Patrick1 says:

    The Feingold-Reid Surrender Bill is as dead as this Congress’ popularity.

    Well, I just viewed Thompson’s reply to Michael Moore’s challenge to debate, and instead of accepting the challenge, he snarkily says he ‘doesn’t have time’ for Michael, and makes a half snide, half threatening reference to Michael belonging in a mental institution.

    Patty, I can see how, in your world, this might qualify as an ‘ass kicking’, but those of us who are grounded in reality can see it for what it is…a clumsy brush-off, because Thompson clearly doesn’t feel up to the challenge.

    We’ll see how much time Thompson has for Moore after the Republican primaries come and go. ^_^


  13. Tom3 says:

    The Iraqi parliament just told Chimpy to stop building walls and tear down the ones he put up.

    The Iraqi parliament is also voting for all foreign troops to leave Iraq when the UN mandate runs out this summer.

    Is Iraq a sovereign nation, or are they Chimpy’s puppet state?

    If Chimpy ignores their Parliament on these issues, it will be clear that Iraq is not a sovereign nation and Chimpy has failed.


  14. Patrick1 says:

    You moonbats should go over to Instapundit and see the video and watch the next President of the United States dismantle a moonbat hero.


  15. Spudge_Boy says:

    Why is it that the troll is okay with wasting billions of taxpayers dollars on an illegal occupation that a majority of those tax payers want nothing to do with, but it takes offense to spend two tax payers dollars on some phone calls?


  16. Patrick1 says:

    Thompson correctly was questioning Moore’s mental make-up. Easy target granted, but effective.


  17. Jim Wolf359 says:

    Looks like Patty 1 has a new wingbat hero.


  18. Tom3 says:

    Moore challenged Thompson to a debate and Thompson wussed out.

    Moore obviously kicked Thompson’s ass.

    Except to the Repuke troll, who lives in a delusional Chimpy Bizarro World, where everything is opposite the real world.

    Go back under your bridge, troll…And take your meds.


  19. Tom3 says:

    Looks like Repuke troll has a hardon for Thompson.

    What a closet cae.


  20. Patrick1 says:

    Thompson is not in the business of promoting Moore’s slockumentary, he is in the business of destroying liberals, which he did in fine fashion today.


  21. Jim Wolf359 says:

    Like I said, Instapundit has no Credibility. Just like Patty1! Imagine that!


  22. Jim Wolf359 says:

    Hey Tom3, I think Patty1 IS taking his meds. Only way he’d believe that Freddy T. won that “Debate”.

    Where is it??

    here it is a he does look a fool

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JRAlkwE3mM

    Fred Thompson Made an utter fool of himself


  24. Patrick1 says:

    If Moore is still alive Fred can debate him after his second term.


  25. Harley says:

    WoW! Is that all you wingnuts have? Thompson couldn’t come up with anything beyond that? The wingnuts and Republicans are in DEEP $hit. Say goodbye to the Whig, er, Republican Party. It’s lights out!


  26. paland says:

    So Thompson can’t handle a debate against Michael Moore? Too scared Thompson? So he says something about Cuba and the wingnuts cream their pants? This is sooo laughable to see wingnuts hang on to a nothing reply and call it a win. So sad. So sad.


  27. Tobey Tall says:

  28. Justice says:

    If this bill passes, it’s going to be hard on the Republicans. Every day that the Chimp delay’s a bill that will end the war, EVERY DAY, it costs the Republicans about 100,000 votes.

    Drop dead fred your a complete arse

    Michael Moores letter to Drop dead fred

  30. Tom3 says:

    Let me get this straight…

    Thompson is bashing Michael Moore because he went to Cuba.

    But Thompson regularly imports Cuban cigars, which is illegal.

    LOL!!


  31. Jim Wolf359 says:

    Okay, back on topic folks. This vote is Important. Will the legislation pass? I think it will. Its also a guarentee that Chimpy will Veto it and they won’t be able to override. BUT, the important thing is to keep sending the legislation to him. At some point I think the White House will crater on this one and come to its senses.
    What would really help is if we (The American People ) keep the pressure on our elected Representatives in both Houses of Congress to not give in to the White House on this.
    A solid majority of the people in this Country want out of Iraq Millitarily and a new direction in how we do things in the Middle East. At some point I think it will happen. But its got to be done from the bottom up.
    I think with that kind of pressure AND the pressure being applied by the Generals who also say its time for a new direction it will happen.


  32. rregs says:

    OUCH!! Michael Moore got him there. When you see both sides, then the view changes. Now that we see the letter, Fred Thompsons small video looks so stupid.. Thanks Tobey for the information and links.


  33. Zooey says:

    Heh. Fred doesn’t do so well when he doesn’t have writers.


  34. Patrick1 says:

    Moore got his fat ass handed to him. You have to love that!

    The Feingold-Reid Surrender Bill will not be inacted. And according to the Gallup Poll it is the leftist Congress that is losing 100,000 votes a day.


  35. Patrick1 says:

    I love the way Fred uses the cigar in the commercial..


  36. Patrick1 says:

    don’t know what’s the best part of this video response to Michael Moore’s publicity stunt: the cigar, the appropriate disdain, the lecture, the humor, or the quickness of the response, but what I do know is that if Fred Thompson is the first politician anywhere to understand how the speed of the internet can change politics.

    This is something that should alarm Fred’s opponents–both Republican and Democrat. In certain military circles there’s this concept known as the “OODA Loop.” OODA stands for Observe, Orient, Decide, and Act. The late Colonel John Boyd, a Korean War pilot, came up with the concept to try to explain why American pilots were so much better than their opponents in dogfights. He determined that through a combination of training, aerodynamics, and cockpit design, American pilots and their aircraft could more quickly observe a stimulus and respond. It allowed them to react and act again and again so quickly, that at some point, the American fliers were an entire decision cycle ahead of their opponents. It’s called “getting inside your opponent’s OODA loop.”

    Getting back to Thompson, Michael Moore issued his challenge to Fred Thompson just today, and by noon, Fred Thompson answered with a devastating response in a forum that will allow the answer to be viewed over and over.

    Imagine Thompson in a campaign against a hidebound Hillary Clinton who, like a typical candidate, runs every decision through polls and layers of staff. Thompson would be “inside her OODA loop” so quickly that serious Republicans won’t know whether to laugh at her or feel sorry for her by the time of next November’s election.

    Patrick,

    At least you noted the REAL author of your comment. THANKS for making it crystal clear that you can’t write anything on your own!!


  38. Vinnie says:

    OH! And what about the idea of sticking to the topic? Is that a little too complex for you?


  39. Patrick1 says:

    The topic was wrapped up sometime ago by me, with the statement that it will never become law. The topic of Thompson kicking Moore’s commie ass is much more interesting and relevant.


  40. Mertens says:

    Hey, If you moonbats want to spy on Fred Thomson as he kicks your liberals ass, go to http://www.fredthompsonnews.com.

    Pactrick1 is right! Thompson DID kick Moore’s ass.

  41. Mertens says:

    Patrick1 is right! Thompson DID kick Moore’s ass.


  42. Valiantthehater says:

    Thanks TP,

    called my Senator and told him to vote against this surrender, pathetic, stupid, white flag, cowardly bill.


  43. Patrick1 says:

    I called Senator Turban’s office and some guy speaking Arabic answered the phone.

    Was it nice to be greeted by your own mother tongue? They must have recognized you from all of the assistance you gave them and the Taliban…

    Do you have any idea how immature and stupid you look?


  46. Krazny says:

    I like this bill, shows just how much the republican party has turned its back to American public, and only wishes to maintain power. Won’t work, but kudos to dems for at least pushing forward the right things.

    Comment by Patrick1 #35

    Yeah,

    I’ll bet your a*s cheeks just went all…

    …quivery…

    …huh?


  48. Patrick1 says:

    Unbeknownst to Michael Moore, a documentary was made of the last time Fred Thompson debated a liberal blow hard. It was called Faces of Death.
