Write your reply.

assistant: Encourage as many Hispanics as possible to start their own
business's.  Business owners, of all ethnic groups, vote more in
line with Conservative values than other groups.
The primary hard-core support for liberal values among Hispanics,
and other groups, comes from the poorest class and the ivory
tower types.  Middle class citizens, of all ethnic groups,
represent the best hope for conservative values.  Get them to
think about issues rather forming their opinions from 15 second
sound-bites will leave them much more receptive to the
conservative cause.  Try pointing out the parallels between sound
bites and traditional propaganda methods.  That one is easily
researched by anyone with access to a library.
The key is to appeal to them as people, not as hispanics, blacks,
asians or any ethnic label.

Each is a major chemical factory in its own right, therefore one could

said that the pigment that colors leaves in the fall is of such strength
that if all of it in a single large tree could be isolated and made into
paint, enough could be produced to paint New York city.
I don't recall what all the stuff is they exude into the air in the
Smokies, but do know the compounds are oily and given off along with
water vapor, the combination producing the characteristic blue haze for
which the region was named.

And call me crazy, but I was just noticing the other day at the
newstand that there is a even bit of a resemblance between Hillary
and Gennifer Flowers (bleached blonde, similar facial structure,
although Flowers is certainly better looking). He could use them in
more of a professional capacity, with Hillary a lawyer and Flowers a
reporter in ARK.
Oh, they are so similar it's uncanny. I lived in Arkansas when he
"reigned" as governor and that is a common look there--but Lewinsky
is from Southern Cal. I lived there too, that is *not* a common look.
Maybe she figured out what his tastes were too...and of course "laid

trapped he doesn't need to be president...of anything!

Write your reply.

assistant: I read somewhere, I think it was in Unlimited Access, that Bill was
quoted as saying (have to change his wording, particularly the p****
word) "She's [had oral sex with more women] than I have!"
Frankly, I *still* think she was boinking Foster, but more out of an
attempt to keep him quiet than anything. We know she'll be with a man
if it's going to benefit her in some way...afterall, she must have
been with Bill at least once to have Chelsea (no doubt a political
ploy, since the folks in ARK thought she was a dyke and Arkies don't
cotton to that at all!), and that kid looks way too much like both of
them to be anyone else's. Besides, if she doesn't like men, it would
be unpleasant to her, no matter who it was, so best to avoid
questions later on.
Aren't most hookers and strippers lesbians? I don't see much that

came from...) Anyway, I mostly watch FOX so I can get the real
slant, then I switch to MS-NBC, CNN, All News, Bloomberg, etc, and
see what the other yahoos are saying...This is usually followed by
loud screaming, throwing of soft (hopefully) objects at the tv, a
search for tranquilizers (I did ask that it not be with a dart the
next time!) and the remote being forced out of my hands, and turned
back to FOX News. But it's been Fun! Sometimes I *almost* feel guilty

Write your reply.

assistant: While the echo is a Limbaugh Fans echo, so there will be a great
deal of common ground among most of the participants here, you might be
surprised at the occasional diversity.  I, for instance, enjoy Limbaugh
very much, but mostly because I take delight in his attacks on the
status quo and his constant uncovering of otherwise not generally
acknowledged information about abuses of power and general goof ups of
Democrats.
      Ideologically I am a moderate Libertarian so while we share
common views on most ecconomic, tax, government waste, and federal
intrusion issues, I often find myself swimming against the current on
other issues here.
      Yet I have found out something in the several years I have posted
in this echo, in stark contrast to other echos I have participated in,
though profoundly conservative, folks here present their arguments
well, in a thought out manner, and respect the views of others so long
as others maintain respect for the views of theose here.
      It's a pleasurable place to spend time and test ones own ideas.
