Re: Re-election grease the palm fund (RGTPF)
When did the cable co's start doing this? Back in the early 90's, a few friends & myself spent a month pulling RG-6 throughout our school. Worked our rather well too -- the teachers often would put on MTV late in the day when they didn't feel like teaching. Gotta love MTV Spring Break. |

Re: Daniel Berninger - conflict of interest?
Yeah, I'd contend we did none of those things. Personally you sound like a raving loon. Iran would absolutely invade Iraq in a heartbeat. Their oil production is declining, and is projected to continue to do so; it's one of the legitimate reasons why they want nuclear power. You're living with blinders on...
All your points about Iraq are laughably incorrect, it's not even worth discounting them one by one. They're just all wrong, and any sane person can see how. So there's no need for me to go through them. I'm sure you won't accept that, but you wouldn't have accepted the truth about each anyway. I'll make a sign for you that you can carry around that says "Support genocidal dictators who Invade their neighbors". |

I couldn't possibly agree more with your posts 
Amen to that.
BTW: Liberals lose ideologically based elections-- Unless they can convince voters that they aren't liberal  |

Re: Re-election grease the palm fund (RGTPF)
said by Transmaster  :Here is how the RGTPF moneys where used on one project at a school here in Cheyenne. This school used the money to wire the whole building to cable TV to the tune of several 100 thousand dollars. That amount of money spent on wiring for just TV seems a little excessive. 
This is great except for the fact, the local cable company had already wired the building for this same thing a couple of years before as part of the CableCo's educational TV in the schools program. Beyond that, a lot of middle and high schools (more in the South, fewer in the Northeast and West) got wired for cable for free way back when, when Channel One came out.
