I am actually surprised the W isn’t on this list, considering his big government spending proclivities and his backpedaling on most of the Con domestic issues and all.

I like Ann Coulter, but that us sarcastic types have to stick together.

What did Richard Foster say about our dear leader and his Medicare Bill’s costs?

rbb: Namecalling is inherently untruthful.  What I said was the truth, much as you would like to deny.

Who cares what Richard Foster said?  What do you say?  Give us your highly informed opinion, instead of using mouthpieces.

BTW, rbb, I have no hope of convincing you that our former President is a lying scumbag.  It is a matter of public record, though.  Saw him on live TV, wagging his finger at us while he lied through his teeth, sitting next to his “wife” as if he was a faithful husband.  Despicable.

I guess the key is “like the least”, not “dislike"… I’d have almost none of those people on a list of people I like the least on the Right, espcially DeLay, Dobson, Robertson, and Coulter…

rbb: You labeled my accurate description as “namecalling”, that’s when.  He also suborned perjury from Monica, and took campaign money from the military of a foreign country(China).
I ask again:

robert108 on July 31, 2006 at 1:18 PM

Can you give us any sort of answer?

Continuing the big spending projects of the Dems, which have existed for generations, was not a good thing, but our President hardly invented the practice, now did he?  If you liked it when the Dems did it, why complain now?  Partisanship?

I’d love to see a list of the most admired on the right.

Congressman Jeff Flake would top my list

Well my list would read like this:

Mike Pence (except immigration)
Tom Tancredo (especially immigration)
Pat Buchanan (see Tancredo)
John Shadegg
Jeff Flake
Ron Paul

umm, that pretty much it, it’s a short list indeed.

Do you mean Sen Tom ”Gays-are-the-greatest-threat-to-our-freedom” Coburn?

..I like his type of fiscal policy

aNON: Why smear Coburn for not agreeing with the gay agenda?  What about his right to dissent?  He may have a point, with the gay lobby trying to sidestep the overwhelming majority and force “gay marriage” on us.

rob, dissenting is miles away from calling it the greatest threat to our freedom.  Even I dissent with gay marriege, though I’m somewhat ok with giving gays partnerships about the same legal right as those given to married couples.

and it’s not just that, take a read at this:

“You know, I immediately thought about silicone breast implants and the legal wrangling and the class-action suits off that. And I thought I would just share with you what science says today about silicone breast implants. If you have them, you’re healthier than if you don’t. That is what the ultimate science shows...In fact, there’s no science that shows that silicone breast implants are detrimental and, in fact, they make you healthier.”

..Tom Coburn is a doctor.

Clarification:

I would take Pence’s plan in a heartbeat over the Bush plan.

Is he seriously contemplating a run?

aNON: I know this goes against your grain, but Coburn is right about the implants.  Banning them was total junk science, and a violation of our Constitutional process.  It was ginned up by the MSM and its leftie agenda.
Nice try, though.  If you can’t smear him for being against gays, smear him because he doesn’t buy into the junk science about silicone breast implants.

I’m sure he was also right about breast implant making people more healthier.

It’s purely a Draft Pence Movement at this point.

aNON: According to the stats, that’s true.  It’s probably an artifact of healthier people being more willing to have surgery, or something like that, but the numbers support him.  Perhaps you can find another way to smear him.

rob,he said Breast transplant MAKE people healthier.

i.e. one would become healthier for having a transplant,

Coburn:

“they (i.e. breast transplant) MAKE you healthier.”

“You know, I immediately thought about silicone breast implants and the legal wrangling and the class-action suits off that. And I thought I would just share with you what science says today about silicone breast implants. If you have them, you’re healthier than if you don’t.

aNON: Congratulations!  You finally found a very small detail with which to smear the man!  His conclusion agrees with the stats, btw, but you are saying that it defies common sense.  Very good!  We should never support any politician who makes any sort of mistake, no matter how small or insignificant or highly technical in nature.  You’re not a Chomskyite, are you?  He is famous for finding some nitpicky error and using that to justify trashing the whole thing.  Nice thinking.

MY main concern is fiscal polity and so my list would probably have a combination of the elected official topping both of these two lables.

How the bleep can implants make you/ a woman healthier?

Maybe psychologically, certainly not physically.

The real message here is that the junk science prohibition on silicone implants was WRONG!  Aren’t you glad it was overturned?  Sheeesh!

I never said I wouldn’t support him.  In fact, while I’m still perturbed by some of the things he has said, I still very much like the fact he’s one of the most fiscal conservative member of the senate, something which to me means alot.

Free: So do I, but the intrusion of junk science to me is just the same as environmental junk science; it’s a menace to our freedom.  If junk science determined that breasts were unhealthy, and forced all women to have them removed, wouldn’t you be sorry?  I know I would!!!  I consider breast reduction to be a heinous crime. wink

aNON: I’m not particularly fond of, or trusting of, doctors either.  This has nothing whatsoever to do with his politics, which was the initial issue.  You seem to be going out of your way to smear the guy, to the extent of cherry-picking a word to do it.  What’s up with that?  Do you expect a politician to be a perfect saint?  Or just this one guy?  Maybe you have another agenda you haven’t revealed yet.  You seem to be reaching, here.

Why would you dare put Coulter on the list, rob? She makes the Republican agenda so accessible to the mainstream. Every word that spills from her mouth is like a beautiful flower of sanity, compassion and intelligence. I would have to say she’d be the best republican out there if she only dressed more modestly.
