-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! *************************************** On the Stump One day a GOP candidate decided that he needed more exposure in front of the farming community of the country. So, he set out on his journey across America to visit different agricultural communities. As he was traveling down a dirt road in a small town his eyes fell upon a farmer working out in his field. He decided that this was as good a place as any to start his campaigning, and so he parked his car and went over to meet the farmer. He introduced himself, and asked it he could present his campaign speech to the farmer. "Sure", said the farmer. "Would it be all right if I invited my wife and some of our friends from town to listen as well?" "Absolutely", replied the politician, who by now was excited at the possibility of speaking to a crowd of people. "Is there a place from which I may address the people?", he asked. "Well we don't have a podium as such, seeing as this here is farm land, but I suppose you could use that manure pile over there", the farmer replied. The politician thought that this was somewhat un-orthodox, but not wanting to offend the farmer he agreed. Later that evening a crowd of townsfolk were gathered to hear what the politician had to say. They listened intently, and when it was finished they clapped and cheered. Having completed his speech he thanked the people and went over to the farmer and asked, "What part of the speech do you think the people liked the best?" "I dunno", said the farmer. "These people don't pay much attention to politics, but this is the first time we have ever heard a Republican speak from a Democrat platform." ******************************************* Feinstein Screws Up, Tells Truth “...I’m one Democrat, frankly, that doesn’t feel that (an) across-the-board cut of one percent is anything untoward. I feel any good budget manager should be able to handle that without a problem.” - Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA) on CNN’s “Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer,” 11/7/99 ************************************************************ Will GOP Learn From the Virginia Lesson? “Republicans won control of both houses of the Virginia State legislature for the first time since Reconstruction. ... There Governor Jim Gilmore did a remarkable job of recruiting candidates, raising money for the candidates and then operating the best voter identification and turnout operation I have seen on the Republican side in years. If there were Republican votes to be had for these legislative candidates they found them. “I live in Virginia. My own state Representative, Roger McClure, cast some courageous votes on the gun issue, trying to uphold the U.S. Constitution. The Democrats made this THE issue. They made McClure out to be an enemy of children. The Republicans found every pro-McClure voter and got them to the polls. Mrs. Weyrich said we received no less than eight calls on Election Day to be sure we had voted. She was so exasperated at having to answer the phone for McClure she was tempted to switch sides. But it worked. McClure won by 400 votes, yet internal Democratic polling showed him losing. “The McClure example was not unique. I talked to a former staffer for a leading Democrat in Southern Virginia. He told me he had never seen an Election Day operation such as was run by the Gilmore people. No such similar effort was made in other areas of the country. ... If the Republicans do not operate a massive nationwide voter ID and turnout operation similar to the one in Virginia they will lose a close election nationwide. “... Democrats are remarkably disciplined. Even when their president has been impeached and is viewed as a national disgrace they hang together. Republicans get embarrassed when someone like Richard Nixon lets them down. Democrats are beyond embarrassment. So yes, I believe there is a real lesson from the elections last week. The Democrats are alive and well and highly competitive for next year. Republicans kidded themselves about how history was on their side in 1998. Maybe this election will convince them that there is no substitute for old-fashioned organization. But then maybe not. They are, after all, Republicans.” - Paul Weyrich, Free Congress Foundation, 11/8/99 *********************************************** Famous Last Words "First, God created idiots.
