You want a legitimate answer?
 
The Supreme Court said that limiting how much you can donate to a political campaign is an unconstitutional violation of the right to freedom of speech. The Democrats don't like that ruling and want to not create a new law (which would also violate our constitutional rights) but to change the Constitution and limit free speech when it comes to politics. The Democrats say yes to changing the Constitution and limiting free speech when it comes to elections and the Republicans say no. 
 
Ohhhh.... but let's not talk about free speech, let's call it what it has been called in this thread, bribery.
 
If you call it legal bribery as the title of the thread suggests, is less money just "a little bribery"? If you offer a cop $500 to drop a citation it would be a bribe but if you only offer him $250, it isn't? That is what the campaign finance laws say. You can donate to someone (bribe by the claim of this thread) and it is perfectly okay but you can only bribe to a certain extent. Tell me where that makes sense. The Dems don't mind donations and sure aren't turning down any money.... they only mind if you get more than they do. So it is okay to bribe people, just keep the bribing "under control".
 
There have been several such First Amendment cases that have thrown out campaign finance laws and in the most recent case (2014), the law (BCRA) allowed the "bribery"..... but you had to stop it 60 days before the election. Again, tell me where that makes any sense. Yes, you can put your money in electronic (television, radio, etc.) campaigning but you can't do it right at the end. Apparently the Dems think that bribery is perfectly okay to bribe 61 days out from an election but don't do it inside of 60 days.   And for that, they want to change the Constitution. 

I would rather see big business influence votes and legislation than the do nothing ( you owe me a living ) crowd.

You still feeling good about your money? Vegas knows stuff

10-3 THE University of Texas!

Funny how time changes things. Three years ago you could have said that for Aggy football. Get them in while you can. Texas never stays down.

Fran and Sherman had years to develop theirs. People think just because you hire a good coach and supply him with some decent talent that it adds up to wins. I can't believe how naive some of the posters on this board are. It takes chemistry and everything must fall into place. Ags were fortunate after several hard tries to find a suitable coach. Well, they got theirs and the talent was there and everything clicked. Some take longer to develop. You guys really kill me with your constant badgering of Strong.

Also she can't testify against him if they're married. She is apologizing for her part. I'm sorry, but women who stay in abusive relationships get what they ask for, otherwise leave.

I hear he has been suspended indefinitely by the NFL (Goodell) so maybe he won't get picked up.

I happen to like Sumlin and I believe that quotes such as
I happen to like Sumlin and I believe quotes such as this are simply made for media ears. How can any person question another's motives when trying to achieve some type of disciplinary balance with "kids" under the age of 21?

I applaud any coach who lays down a set of rules and doesn't back down when it comes to enforcing them, even if it means he has to play a lesser caliber player.

Tom Landry would have done the same thing. He took no crap. ( leaving myself open for the Landry/Strong comparisons)

Anyone ever watch the NFL Network? Pretty boring if it ain't game time.....and the NFL has more money than anybody! Right now they have first fantasy picks from 1962. Yawn! Man, some people just like to bitch.

George Blanda was the first pick for those of you interested. Most of you never saw him play, maybe even heard of him.

Here is something more interesting than that. I had a high school class with Blanda's niece. (no joke) Hey, I could start my own network with interesting tidbits like that.

Of course it can be done, but I was told I don't have a clue when I suggested some of the moms get off their cans and take and pick up their kids.

That is because you are privileged.  :rolleyes:
 
:D

I had to pick my son up from football practice in Lumberton.  I also elect to bring him to and from school and not use the Bus system.  I work FT and also a single parent.......it can be done.....

I liked the article in that it showed UT was NOT the only culprit against a conference network. Read closely. All the Ags trying to lay blame squarely on UT's shoulders when they were just as GUILTY. Talk about two faced!

Ags, really, that's all you live for is to find fault with UT. What an existence that must be.

For most people, the second thing out of their mouths when being introduced to someone is not which college they attended.

Top two teams in sec last year stepped out of conference and got whipped (Florida State and Oklahoma). A simple fact that seems to always be overlooked. This year already, top two teams in the country were almost beaten by unranked teams. They should have dropped and all of you know it. Why all the jawing?

That's why I quit playing. THought I was good but found out different.

Well, when this is all you can come up with...

Maybe throw in a "I know you are, but what am I?" every now and then?

Direct tv still working on LHN is what I am told. I also need the Astros and Rockets. Broadcasting affects lots of teams, not just the Longhorns.

All I can say is that they really don't want to go full scale with the Jews. I can promise you that.

Gee, I just hope we can compete. We have never played anyone the caliber of Crosby.

I won't put down Crosby's team or bash their stadium. We play where we play. The only thing I question is how Nederland will get throttled due to being unprepared but will get better as the year goes on, but Crosby is playoff ready now? I like being underestimated.

Been in a similar situation before.....drove off. This is terrible. Speaks volumes for conceal carry.

A typical response on this forum would be to bad mouth or be little the recruit.
 
He is a great looking kid and I wish him well in all his endeavors. I hope he enjoys college life.
 
He would have looked good in Burnt Orange.
