-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! ******************************************** Y2K Bark Worse Than the Bite “Son of a gun. The lights still work. The computer still computes. Nobody blew Washington, Times Square or the Space Needle to smithereens. According to our on-line banking, we still have money. We didn't have to fire up the generator once or defend the homestead with our stash of firearms and ammo. Now, what are we going to do with all this canned food and dried fruit?” - Doug Thompson, Capitol Hill Blue, 1/1/00 ********************************************* Gingrich Back Off the Bench... “Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on December 14 accused President Clinton of making important military and other government policy decisions solely to help wife Hillary’s New York Senate campaign. ... ‘This is an administration that will release terrorists to help the president’s wife, that will close down the Navy’s training facilities in Puerto Rico and exploit gays in the military to help the president’s wife,’ Mr. Gingrich said in an interview with the Washington Times. ‘And if she decides to go after the French vote, I wouldn’t be surprised if he decides to give back the Louisiana Purchase,’ he said.” - Washington Times Weekly, 12/26/99 **************************************************** ...Urges Others to Do the Same “The Georgia Republican also defended Speaker Dennis J. Hastert’s handling of the budget this year and ridiculed conservative Republican critics of the party’s congressional leadership as ‘smart-aleck armchair quarterbacks.’ ‘If everyone who wants to gripe would go out and elect a Republican instead of griping, they could control spending and cut taxes,’ he said.” - Washington Times Weekly, 12/26/99 ******************************************* St. John’s Suicide Pact “(John McCain and Bill Bradley) signed an agreement forswearing ‘soft money’ if they are the nominees of their parties. ... The issue of campaign finance is...an issue that, if the polls mean anything at all, almost nobody cares about. Given the overwhelming media preference for Democrats and the lack of restraint in showing it, what Mr. McCain actually signed was a Republican suicide pact. His obsession with campaign finance - Tucker Carlson of the Weekly Standard calls it a ‘hobby,’ like a crazy uncle’s obsession with taxidermy - is puzzling to anyone trying to figure out why he thinks a suicide note is a winning card in Republican primaries. Of all the issues on the radar screen, ‘campaign finance reform’ ranks close to the bottom, somewhere between ‘worthwhile Canadian initiative’ and ‘Lower Volta textile imports.’” - Washington Times editor Wesley Pruden ***************************************************** Clinton/Gore vs. Common Sense “The Clinton administration this week proposed a $690 million expansion of a federal voucher program that helps poor families pay for housing. ... Yet Mr. Gore and Mr. Clinton - beholden to the powerful education establishment - adamantly oppose the same concept when it involves giving poor parents alternatives to their dilapidated public schools. It’s not easy to reconcile their conflicting positions with common sense.” - Las Vegas Review Journal editorial, 12/30/99 *************************************** Union Justice “TV news crews filmed Philadelphia Teamsters viciously beating anti-Clinton protesters during a Presidential visit last year. After much delay, two Teamsters were ultimately convicted of the assault, which witnesses claimed was incited by local Teamster boss John Morris. Last month, the new national Teamsters office, headed by James P. Hoffa, ousted Mr. Morris, and in a raid on his offices discovered a cache of shotguns, stun guns, helmets and pepper spray that dissident members said Mr. Morris was assembling to disrupt the coming Republican National Convention. The weapons and related equipment were paid for with $700,000 in union funds. Despite all this, a federal judge has just reinstated Mr. Morris, ruling that the national Teamsters failed to show that an ‘emergency’ justified his removal. Philadelphia, the site of next summer’s GOP convention, operates according to what even Ed Rendell, its departing mayor, concedes is sometimes ‘strange justice.’ Mr. Rendell, a former prosecutor, says that local elected judges are often beholden to the unions that push their candidacies. ... A three-judge panel that has oversight control over the entire Teamsters union will hold a hearing to determine if a takeover of Mr. Morris’s local is justified. We hope they receive a full presentation of the evidence. If they don’t, next summer’s GOP convention could see Philadelphia officials just as surprised as Seattle’s leaders were at what determined demonstrators in the streets are capable of.” - Wall Street Journal, 12/30/99 ************************************************ 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.
