-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! ************************************************* GOP Takes Another Budget Beating “In an interview assessing the long fight over spending priorities, the president said preventing approval of the $792 billion Republican tax-cut plan was ‘the biggest victory of the budget.’ Meanwhile, the 296-135 House vote on the big omnibus spending bill marks the second time Clinton and Congress have gone around caps set in the 1997 budget accord. Borrowing against Social Security funds will continue.” - Wall Street Journal, 11/19/99 ********************************************************* Spin By Any Other Pol Smells Just As Bad “Dennis J. Hastert, the lackluster leader of the do-nothing U.S. House of Representatives actually had the balls to stand up in front of reporters Thursday night and claim the 106th Congress had actually accomplished something. Hastert must be auditioning for the Bill Clinton Liar's Hall of Fame. While his incredible attempts to turn crap into something that doesn't smell might not reach the audacity of ‘I did not have sex with that women,’ it still ranks pretty high on any sane person's lie-o-meter. ... Republican leadership? An oxymoron at best and a sick joke at worst. These bozos couldn't lead a pack of Cub Scouts off the Washington Mall with a roadmap and a satellite GPS system. The 106th Congress is only half over, but they might as well have stayed home and phoned it in. Better yet, we would be better off if they went home and stayed there. .. Given this record, Denny Hastert must have taken several tokes on some pretty strong weed before he could get up in front of reporters Thursday night and claim, with a straight face, that he and his party has accomplished anything. The pundits say the Speaker was practicing the time-honored tradition of Washington ‘spin.’ Spin, my ass. It was a bald-faced lie.” - Doug Thompson, editor, Capitol Hill Blue, 11/19/99 ***************************************************** Running From Bill Like a Scalded Dog “Humor writer Doug Gamble says, ‘It’s sad how far Gore will go to distance himself from Clinton. Asked in a pop quiz to name the current U.S. president, he said he didn’t know.’” - Wall Street Journal, 11/19/99 **************************************************** “Alpha” Gore Following Bill’s Footsteps “Vice President Al Gore, fearing a lack of funds next spring, is lining up ‘official’ events to have the government pay for his appearances. Aides for Gore, utilizing what has become a classic office-holder campaign ploy, have been meeting with Cabinet officials to schedule appearances for the vice president to hand out grants, make speeches and stage photo opportunities at government expense.” - Capitol Hill Blue, 11/19/99 ********************************************************* Don’t Bet GOP House on W’s Coattails “Democrats gloat over Joe Baca’s win in a House election this week in California after rival Elia Pirozzi was endorsed by GOP presidential front-runner Bush. ‘When it comes to coattails, the governor has no clothes,’ says Democrat spokesman John Del Cecato.” - “Washington Wire,” Wall Street Journal, 11/19/99 *********************************************** Ken Starr Wins Another Round “Some unreported news from the impeachment vindication front: A three-judge federal appeals court recently ruled that Ken Starr had not, contrary to White House propaganda, illegally leaked grand jury secrets. Clinton lawyer David Kendall then filed for a rehearing before the entire D.C. Circuit. He lost 11-0.” - “Asides,” Wall Street Journal, 11/18/99 ******************************************** The Whining of America “America has truly become a entitlement state. From sea to shining sea, our beautiful land is filled with millions of people who believe the world owes them something. We have to be the whiniest group of people on the planet. The latest rash of irrationality concerns bank fees connected with usage of automated teller machines. ... Some people think they deserve to use these machines free of charge. This is not really surprising in country where people believe government has a duty to provide for their every need from the cradle to the grave. ... I hate ATM fees and believe they are excessive. But the right to charge these fees cannot be questioned. ATMs cost money to operate. But there is a good answer to the fees: Don’t use the machines that charge you. It is very simple and keeps government out of the equation.” - Columnist Thomas Lucente Jr., The Lima (Ohio) News ***************************************** Help Spread the Word If you know someone who does not receive our FREE GOP News & Views briefings, send their e-mail address to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Published by: Nevada Republican Liberty Caucus “The Conscience of the Republican Party” Chuck Muth, Chairman **COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.
