I'm not here to convince you, my friend.

Keep in mind many on this thread keep close track of non-routine news items that hit the mainstream media. If you don't, fine. Scoffing has become normal in the media in place of reasoned discussion, but it isn't respected by most here. Demands for "proof" are up to you to follow up for common media items many others have seen. If you're serious about wanting to know what others already know from personal experience, www.indiemedia.com is a source. I think there's also a television archive. Someone else might be able to post a link.

Just so you know, there's no incentive to care whether you are convinced, or not, since you don't contribute to the process of paying attention to these items and attempting to keep gov't honest.

It's not a personal attack on you, just the way threads like this are -- who's got time to argue with those who don't pay attention to daily news -- not many.

Many of us feel events are so seriously wrong that we care enough to post what we see and read, for the benefit of others who also are concerned, even tho' we all have better things to do if the gov't weren't in criminal hands. But to argue endlessly about what's already well known isn't a good use of time.

BTW the dual-citizenship issue -- Arnold Schwartznegger has dual citizenship with Austria, according to someone on Chris Matthews last night.

This issue will start rolling, if any of the spineless jellyfish Dems can bring themselves to bring up the fact that loyalty to a country other than the US is grounds for refusal for high gov't office.

Does this mean all US citizens with dual citizenship should be deported? No. But if you have dual citizenship with another country and want to hold high office, get the f* off the stage, and let a true American hold that office.

Its hard enough finding public servants who aren't criminals, much less those who might feel slightly traitorous in favor of their own "Homeland".

Bottom line -- full disclosure of conflicts of interest with US interests is mandatory, and should be a felony for those who refuse to make that disclosure to the American people.

You think maybe the CFR is stealing all the transcripts of the ones where that question is asked?
