the scorn of a fool is music to the ears of a wise man.
vive la Israel!
Heck, he'll probably cut 95% of us a check....
NOT. Seriously:
The big rule is: no personal use.
As Bob Biersack from the Federal Election Commission points out, most candidates don’t have much left over to begin with. Campaigning is expensive, and “leftover” money gets used for bills and debts first, including expenses incurred while winding down an abandoned campaign or a lost political office.
Candidates do sometimes end up with surplus funds, though, particularly if they're incumbent members of Congress who decide not to run for another term. State and local governments have their own rules, but those running for federal office -- including presidential candidates -- must abide by strict FEC guidelines when it comes to their extra campaign money. They can donate an unlimited amount to a charity or political party. They can also, within limits, make contributions directly to other candidates. A campaign committee can give up to $2000 per election to each candidate. If the committee is converted into a political action committee, the limit jumps to $5000 – but to be established as a PAC, the committee would have to be in existence for six months, receive contributions from 50 donors, and make contributions to five recipients.
What candidates can’t do with leftover money is use it for personal expenses. Retiring federal lawmakers used to be able to pocket extra cash and use it for cars, vacations, clothes, pet grooming, whatever -- but that changed in 1989 with the passage of the Ethics Reform Act.
Hey...maybe he will donate it to Hillary and help her with her campaign debt. :p
You are probably a little old for his music anyway.

I'm not buying his music and never will
and will never listen to it.
JTP is now JT Country Music Singer! nm

Well, let's have it then! I'm all ears!
How far back does this disagreement go?
Universal Music Publishing is calling

How is listening to his music exposing her to his lifestyle? nm

Listening to his music won't expose her to his lifestyle; however,
purchasing his CDs directly or indirectly supports his lifestyle.
I like Melissa Etheridge's music, but I have never purchased a CD.
From your lips to God's ears.

That is CLASSIC propaganda, music and subliminal messages too
Wow, holy cow is right. How can you allow yourself to be fed this hateful propaganda. It's one thing to take something out of context, but to add in characters and newsflashes about the markets tumbling and to add the dreadful music and paint Barack as some kind of partner in Ayers activities is just anti American. This is anti American crap and you should get educated instead of being a patsy and letting your mind soak in these images. God help you if you ever watch a cult film, you will be drinking the Jonestown Kool-Aid.
That's like saying because I LOVE Ray Charles' music, I must shoot up heroin, as he did???....
Do you guys really believe your own rhetoric in these postings, or is this just delusional, absurd thinking by otherwise intelligent people because Obama won, George is gone hallelujah, and McCain/Palin lost??? Don't get me wrong, I am sick of BOTH parties most of the time, like lying, spoiled children, I would love to see a truly Independent party take hold with a REAL candidate, but when you have to pick on Obama's musical tastes in order to make a point, that is showing DESPERATION.
Well, I'm sure this will fall on deaf ears
but without God in EVERYTHING, you're up crap creek without a paddle deary....
My question to you is why not bring God into it? What gives you the right to say God shouldn't be brought into every aspect of our lives.....just because you have no relationship with God doesn't mean we all feel the way you do.
By pushing God aside, it generally gives those who want to justify their causes the lack of conscience in order to push their agendas.
I can't hear you, deaf ears, remember. nm.

From Barack Obama's mouth to your ears...
"We are better than this."
Well, we SHOULD be better than this. Can't we leave the name calling and mean spirited personal comments about individuals by the wayside that has nothing to do with the discussion? Especially people impaired by illness? This sounds like a junior high school lunch room.
Palin makes my ears hurt with her
screechy shrill voice....can't listen to her. Don't mind uhs and ers, doesn't hurt my ears.
A phrase rings in my ears too...Can't see the forest...
for the trees. And they can't.
Looks like foreign ears are picking up on the right wing...sm
chatter about Obama's birth certificate. People spreading ilk about Obama are not doing our country any favors.
Only on deaf ears if from misinformed mouth nm

Obama makes me think of "Webster." It's the ears. :-) nm

Huh? Even the reference disappeared! (Twilight Zone music plays). 1984. nm

Exactly. Some people prefer sticking their fingers in their ears to

You're right. They cover their ears, close their eyes,
what they're taught in Bible School, I suppose.
They must figure that if they bore their opponents with their nonstop jabbering, that when that person finally gets fed up and walks away, they have somehow 'won'. WHAT they think they've 'won' is beyond me.
The booby-prize, perhaps?
I'll double that 'amen', and I'll raise you one!
amen
what in the heck
happened to the feminist movement, and/or growing up as women? why are women acting so catty (no offense meant to cats)...We are attacking a VP candidate for what she wears? As if that makes her more or less qualified, or has anything at all to do with her ability to connect with/understand the populace?, not to mention the polices. give me a break. BTW, who complains about Mr. try-to-be-a-common-man's suit being so sharp and pricey? You can't tell me that wasn't a mega-dollar suit Obama has been seen in lately -- but who cares??? Shake off the fluff of it all people and look at the character, integrity and wisdom of the candidates!!!
Heck no
I sure wouldn't. If people can't wear their shirts showing their candidates, he should not be able to dress that way, which is a blatant attempt to intimidate voters.
It is a heck of a lot different when
they are paying actors 3 million plus per movie and that is only one actor. That is just ridiculous. If these liberal actors want to help the little people so much, why don't they take a pay cut so hollywood can afford to pay the little guys who help make the movies, etc. Why should the tax payers have to pay for it? These big wigs in hollywood are making millions upon millions a year and hollywood wants MY money to create jobs. Are you friggin KIDDING ME!!!!!
Heck NO!
It is not MY responsibility to fund someone's contraceptive.......PERIOD! That's the same as my encouraging they have sex without worrying about the consequences in the first place.
And I sure as heck DO NOT want to fund contraceptive for the world! We need to worry about the unwanted children right here in our own back yards. We cannot police the world. We have private organizations that deal with many ministries and help throughout the world. PRIVATE DONATIONS are the key words here.........not forced taxpayer funding!
Heck, yes!............nm

Who the heck do you think you are...
to tell this woman that she should have carried her rapist's baby for 9 months and given birth to it? Don't you have anything more important to do than meddle in other people's lives?
Heck, they could do it for $500. I need a new TV set.

What the heck,
better just check 'am all.
What the heck does it matter to you
what happens on the conservative board. Like most liberals you feel an innate desire to police everything everywhere as you and your uppity ilk are a lot better than everyone else...You have a board, stay on it, and have your nice little liberal tea parties over here. I for one couldn't give a rat's ass what you think about the conservative board...you elitist control freaks...now can you TAKE that!
Oh heck no, I have been here since the board was all on one. sm
I just don't post much anymore.
There is not a hope in heck of ...
impeaching Bush unless we recall every single Democratic senator and representative who voted for the war. Let's get real about this. They voted for the war. READ the resolution before you start arguing. It is very clear in its message and they FULLY understood what they were voting on. If they did not, then they do not been to be in the offices they hold!! They can READ, I assume. They had the same intelligence that the President had. Democrats sat on the Intelligence Committees who were briefed by the same people who briefed the President. It is a load of unadulterated MANURE (to use the Code Pink ladies' song) to now state that they were lied to and they didn't know the truth. Well, all I can say is, they do not deserve to be in Washington as your representatives if they did NOT do the research and talk to the advisors and the military et. al. before agreeing to the resolution. Now that the going has gotten tough, the Democrats want to do what they do best, that is cut and run, no matter what happens to the Iraqi people or to the morale of our men and women in uniform, just like they did during Viet Nam. It is a travesty, it plays right into the hands of the enemy, and I would not doubt in the latest that Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Hanoi Jane, and the Pink Ladies are now starring in Al Qaeda recruitment and propaganda videos. And they should each be ashamed of that fact. But there is something seriously lacking in those people...empathy and common sense. And no one will respond to my challenge...why don't the Code Pink ladies take their cause to the real enemies of this country...the ones who took down the towers...the ones who bombed the Cole...the ones who bombed the WTC the FIRST time...the ones who downed the plane over Lockerbie...the ones who blew up the Marine barracks in Beirut....how, LVMT, can you INGORE all that loss of American life? How can THEY??? Why don't Sarandon, Robbins, Penn, all of them, get an audience with bin Laden? Tell HIM to give peace a chance...try to get his followers to IMPEACH HIM. Probably, because as Bill O'Reilly so astutely pointed out...they like their heads attached to their shoulders. They are sniveling cowards. While our men and women in the military are in harm's way ever day fighting the noble fight, we have these cowards who DARE to call themselves and their cause noble, busy undermining it as fast and as publically as they can. They do not have the common sense to be ashamed of themselves, so I will be ashamed FOR them. And if you were a patriotic American, you would be too.
Oh I don't know, you are doing a heck of a fine job...
passing off insult as intelligence. You have it down to a fine art. Verrryyy impressive. "Certainly the issues seem to be a big taboo." Well I suppose so...since I have asked you a very simple question repeatedly and you can't seem to stop with the insults long enough to answer it....lol.
As to plagiarizing...rather than do that, you just post under different monikers...to support your own argument I guess? Ahem. Ego need a little stroking there?
Hope you find some of that substantive conversation. Heaven only knows who would sit through a 20-minute dissertation hoping that at some time a point would emerge or just one little question would be answered. Good luck!
What the heck are you babbling?

heck, why work?

GP, you tickle the heck out of me!
Save the feathers; as I remember, you can pick some of your teeth with them! I guess we could start a political cookbook, but I think I'd rather bring back the stocks!
What the heck is the PROBLEM?!
I remember in the mid 1980s, my old car died. The last thing I wanted was to incur a new monthly car payment, but I needed a car.
I went to the Chevy lot and asked to see the cheapest new car they had. They showed me a Chevy Sprint -- bare bones. (The car didn't have air conditioning and didn't even have a RADIO.) I bought it because I was desperate. (I remember my prepubescent daughter HATING me for getting it because the front passenger visor didn't have a MIRROR.)
That dang car got 50 MILES PER GALLON! I bought a radio (and a mirror for the front passenger visor), and later, my dad had air conditioning installed as a birthday present. It turned out to be the best car I ever had and was very, very cheap to purchase.
If they could manufacture a car like that 20-plus years ago, why can't they do it now? 
that makes a whole heck of a lot of
sense since isn't obama the one wanting to spend less money on our defense? I don't believe that Obama will stop any terrorist attack.
Some one please explain to me....you all blame Bush for 9/11 stating that there were warnings about planes, etc. Did they give a specific day? Which planes? So does the president take this information and land all planes and not allow air travel at all on that day? Do they evacuate all tall buildings and monuments just in case? Could 9/11 have been prevented? We all seem to know who to point the finger at but I'm sure dealing with terrorist and terrorists threats is a whole different ball game than us just sitting back and watching bad things happening and wanting to know why it wasn't stopped.
All I can say is that God forbid we have another terrorist attack, we will just have to wait and see how Obama handles it. I think it would be hard for any president to prevent some of these things, but that is just something we are going to have to see play out before we know the answer to it.
sure as heck NOT hollywood either!!!

Heck Gov - just grow some more pot!
Now that's thinkin, Lincoln!
And you are right, and I am P.O'ed as heck about that but....sm
Okay, that is one of the things in this "package" that I think is insane and absolutely STUPID and WRONG. But would I throw out so many of the good proposals in that bill because of it, things that will actually create jobs, actually help some (SOME) deserving folk not go out on the street, extend unemployment benefits because there are almost NO JOBS out there and families will need this to fall back on as they look for jobs...the $$$ that will go for elcerly, disabled, the money that will go toward strengthing out BORDERS, and lots of folk here complain about the ALIENS, well, that takes money! Stronger borders also means less drugs get in, they will still get in I know, but less will. STOP throwing out the baby with the bathwater, for God's sake. The country is starting to remind me of a bunch of little kids with ADHD hiked up on sugar, running around, taking tantrums, and wanting things NOW. What about the past 8 years as this was all in the making????
where the heck does it say that?...please see message
BT, I really like discussing with you, and respect your opinions, so please see where I was coming from because you really surprised me here, you aren't one of the "rabble-rousers!" Previous poster implied, because I had the temerity to express how I felt about Rush and anyone listening to him, the question was pointed at me "what kind of news do you watch?" and I simply replied the truth, a bit sarcastically, because she had a superior attitude, that even stupid Democrats or Independents could watch CNN, MSNBC, all the news channels, C-Span, etc., for information. where is the sentence about ANY OF THEM being garbage? Yup, when I am attacked very unfairly and words are put into my mouth, so to speak, I get a bit testy, as you do. No offense, okay, because I enjoy being able to exchange ideas with you!

What the heck is your problem?
Been seeing your () posts all over this website. You're even bashing Pugmom's DOGS.
(), you need a chill-pill.
Oh. Well, they'll have to kill me before they'll censor
We'll see who'll be laughing tomorrow.
Bet it's me!
To Guess Who/Globe? Whatever the heck your name is?
As in the words of a very famous Dr. talk-show host, "Who pi$$ed in Your Cheerios?" lol! Get a grip! Stop hiding behind the past and talk about the present. You go off too much on a tangent about history and need to talk about the present and current problems!
