That will not happen, of course, until the public at large is once again properly suspicious of having the government run everything.Gus Van Hornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126749051688217781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839412.post-61655795728612235672007-06-30T12:20:00.000-06:002007-06-30T12:20:00.000-06:00Thanks Gus for the link.

I did note that on the vote on the Pence Amendment six Democrats and six Republicans did not cast a vote. This indicates that they did their usual "matching" of non-votes to weasel out of having to take a stand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839412.post-40002331403191699842007-06-29T20:08:00.000-06:002007-06-29T20:08:00.000-06:00Howdy, Grant!I'm glad you stopped by.

I had seen the headline to your post about Hawaii's delegation not caring for freedom of speech yesterday in my news reader, but it had slipped my mind.<BR/><BR/>That exchange at the end is pathetic. So did your "best" congressman not vote for the "Fairness" Doctrine because he couldn't, or did he just not care enough to have a strong position on it one way or the other?<BR/><BR/>Neither answer would speak well of him, so I guess it is "not a huge deal" that you didn't get an answer. Nor does his hiding behind what his legislative assistant recommended, now that I think of it.<BR/><BR/>I added a link to the main post for that.Gus Van Hornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126749051688217781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839412.post-66138610987604591932007-06-29T19:02:00.000-06:002007-06-29T19:02:00.000-06:00Aloha Gus,You are so right about getting complacen...Aloha Gus,<BR/><BR/>You are so right about getting complacent on the "Fairness Doctrine." My Congresscritter voted against the Pence Amendment. The other representative from Hawaii, Abercrombie, is being very slippery on what his position is.
