Trust is something they want a lobbyist to set up for them.
They do not trust us with information about how many times Jack Abramoff and Jeffie Gannon visited (link here).
Thus, the words "trust us" equates to "let us fool you again".
I was trying to figur eout where Americans put there trust in news then I came across this.

Ricky how many stations owned by fox is the only station available in the area? Try over 400.
When people have no choice stats mean nothing just like when your vote is not counted the election is really not a reflection of the will of the people.
I watch O’Reilly for the laughs. That guy is a real dweeb. 😉
A PHONE COMPANY

THE AMERICAN QUEST
(AT&T – SOUTHERN BELL = SPY WHORES)
Demand that all vote tabulation link-ups go thru Qwest phone lines. All other phone lines go thru the republican dictatorship lackies. The tabulations can be intercepted, changed, then pumped on thru to the fascist side of life.
It isn’t who votes that counts
its who sends
the "vote data" to the
final destination tabulator

Yep, that adds up to about 29% … and I notice that percentage is dropping … have you noticed?
1,293,322 voted for presdident in 2004.
41% or 50,140,262 were credited with having voted for Bush in 2000.
50,460,110 voted for Bush in 2000.
About 48,500,00 of those 50,460,110 Bush 2000 voters were still alive on election day 2004.
Even though all of the living Bush 2000 voters and most of the dead Bush 2000 voters were credited with voting again in 2004 by the midnight exit poll, there was a Bush non-response bias in that exit poll. Trust us!
Trust "me", you don’t want to trust them. Big Brother IS listening (not just looking at endpoints)…
The Greatest Lies of all Time . . . . . "Trust Me" . . .
1. The Mercedes is paid For.
2. I’ll pull out just in time.
3. The check is in the mail.
4. I won’t cum in your mouth.
5. We don’t wiretap without a warrant.

Ricky, O’LIEly won "Liar of the Year" on mediamatters.org , I believe "2004 Liar of the Year". Documented lies, btw…
I still can’t figure out why you post here, Ricky. Why don’t you go to a kook-aid site where idiots agree with you? What do you think, you’re going to change our minds?
"OOOOO… I’m switching to O’LIEly, because Ricky posted that more people watch him!!!"
Pepperspray Productions Pulls Iraq Vet’s Video
In my experience, those statements accompanied by the adjuration, "Trust me," are those least to be trusted. Liars have a need to believe in the trusting gullibility of their targets.
Ricky said: "I was trying to figur eout where Americans put there trust in news then I came across this."
Very telling turn of phrase there, Rick, in describing what happened while you were reading the DRUDGE REPORT.
Just about says it all.
Hey, pRicky.. does this appear in the news at any of your listed outlets? I mean, when the President tells Businesses it’s ok to no longer keep "accurate books" because they might need to "protect National Security".. don’t you get scared? I mean, now Corporate America can do what ever dasterdly things they want and say "you can’t know, it’s a matter of National Security".
Makes me feel all warm and cozy knowing Halliburton will no longer have to report to the SEC because they are working on Government contracts.
Big Dan: Weird about the Macbeth video. I just ordered it direct from Pepperspray productions last night…. I did get to the peacefilms website’s big earth logo and couldn’t figure out what the hell was going on, so I went back to Pepperspray and was able to order it from them. I didn’t realize last night that anything had been "pulled" because Pepperspray took my card # and I got a webpage indicating my order had been received.
So what is the deal? I couldn’t figure out the Arctic Beacon article – is there suspicion that Macbeth is lying? Or just that his story hasn’t been corroborated?

BRAD,
NOW THAT I KNOW YOU READ MY POSTS, EXPLAIN WHERE THE JEFFERSON STORY IS? YOU SAY YOUR ALL ABOUT PROTECTING THE PEOPLE, YET HERE IS A POLITICIAN PUTTING HIS GREED FOR MONEY ABOVE THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE. AND WHERE IS BRAD ON THIS STORY? NOWHERE!
WHY?
BECAUSE HE DOESNT CARE WHAT DEMOCRATS DO, NOR ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO GOT SCREWED BY THIS CRIMINAL JEFFERSON. HE ONLY CARES ABOUT HIS LIBERAL TALKING POINTS, NOT THE PEOPLE.
AS FAR AS BRAD IS CONCERNED, DEMOCRATS ARE IMMUNE TO THE LAW.
YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT POLITICS BRAD, NOT WHAT IS RIGHT AND WRONG. YOU DONT CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE, JUST ABOUT ATTACKING THOSE YOU DISAGREEE WITH.
DEMOCRATS BEWARE. YOUR OWN CAN BE RIPPING YOU OFF AND BRAD DOESNT CARE. HE WILL DO WHAT HE HAS TO DO TO HIDE IT FROM YOU.
Savanster – Comment # 16
The pResidential Memorandum of which you spoke,..
That permits John Demitri Negroponte to override
SEC Rules that may cause harm to national security
is right here,..Link bush memorandum Negroponte/SEC.
What a farce,.. there is no threat to national security,.. this was specifically written to permit the Telecoms to lie about handing over our telephone records. Negroponte now just waves his magic wand of "National Security",.. and that allows
corporate America to deny any involvement in illegal conduct. The veil of national security now becomes a convenient excuse to conceal corporate malfeasance.
Chip-chipping away at checks and balances that keep
businesses and corporations forthright and honest
to shareholders and the American public.
A bingo-bonanza-boon to unethical companies like Halliburton – YOU BET !
Oh My,.. RICKY is getting upset,… he now has his comment messages locked on CAPS.
COOL DOWN SWEETHEART,….LINK,… LINK,….LINK !!!!!!!
(GET LOST !!!!!!!!!)

Our hero.
Wow you have spoken to power. Debunked until the truth comes thru.
Our hero.
Ricky … have you taken my advice and gone to get some counsel?
Do not rely on what yo mama said … shrinks do not like to fondle your "secrets" … really … they will help you overcome your addiction.
Your addiction to fiction …

Other states should follow suit.

Ricky: The Jefferson story is on rushlimboob.com. Don’t you get it? Brad writes stories that are being suppressed (mostly), and SHOULD be everywhere else. Why should Brad report on the Jefferson story, when it’s probably on every rightwing media in the country, including the MSM which is rightwing. You want BradBlog to turn into RushLimboob.com?
How about the story, that the FBI raids a congressman for the first time in history??? And it’s a Democrat??? There are even Republicans speaking out against the FBI raiding a congressman’s belongings.
If this guy is dishonest, I don’t care if he’s a Democrat, get rid of him. But the bigger story, as usual being missed, is the FBI raiding a congressman, for the first time ever, and it’s a Democrat. Coincidence? With all this Republican corruption going on, they raid a Democrat? Not that he doesn’t deserve it, if he’s a criminal.
We put country before party here, not party before country like you do. If he’s guilty, he should pay the price. I think we’re against ALL dishonest politicians here, YOU are against dishonest Democrat politicians, only. With about 99% of the corruption being Republican (see Wayne Madsen’s GOP corruption scorecard), YOU are squacking about Jefferson. But you say nothing about DeLay, Bush, Cheney, Ney, Duke Cunningham, Hastert, Abramoff, Rumsfeld, Rove, Libby, Feith, Wolfowicz, Perle, I can name 100-to-1 corrupt Republicans vs. Democrats. You drinka da kook-aid, Ricky. Nothing the Republicans do is wrong to you. You’re a hypocrite, just like so many other rightwing dipsticks.

"The Federal Bureau of Investigation said in a statement that the unusual raid on a Congressional office began about 7:15 p.m., when agents entered Mr. Jefferson’s suite of offices in the Rayburn House Office Building, and was being conducted as part of an "ongoing corruption investigation."
An F.B.I. spokesman told the Times it is the first ever raid of a Congressperson’s office. Jefferson’s lawyer is angry.
Robert P. Trout, a lawyer for Mr. Jefferson, called the search of the congressman’s office "outrageous" in a statement released Saturday evening.
"The government knew that the documents were being appropriately preserved while proper procedures were being followed," the statement said. "We are dismayed by this action — the documents weren’t going anywhere and the prosecutors knew it."
""
I just wonder where all the raids on the above mentioned Republicans are. NOWHERE!!! Does that raise any flags, Ricky? I’m sure more will come out on this. And there ARE a lot of Republicans speaking out against the FBI raiding a congressman’s office. Notice, in the quote above, it’s the first time a congressman’s office was ever raided. No one thinks this is fishy? That it’s a Democrat, with all this Republican corruption going on?
I believe the people on this blog are well-informed, and seek information the MSM isn’t giving us. The corporate-controlled MSM. I think Ricky doesn’t know half of what I know about the Jefferson incident. He’s repeating Limboob & Hammity.
Actually, the reason Republicans are speaking out against this raid, is because it sets the precedent that the FBI can raid congressmen’s offices…and the Republicans are next, since they outnumber the Dems 100-to-1 in corruption & indictments. Bob Ney’s office was not raided, even though he was indicted. I can name many Republicans under indictment who did not have their offices raided by the FBI.
If Jefferson is guilty, he should pay the penalty, but so should the many more Republicans. I am against all corrupt politicians, not just Republicans.
BIG DAN – Comment # 24 😉 – AMEN
RICKY,…… RICKY ? ……. Ricky.
Oh,.. no comment I quess,…
to factual maybe ?

My question is this – since there is only one phone line to
my house and it is owned by SBC/ATT – even if I use
another phone company, isn’t it basicaly for billing purposes only? Don’t the calls I make and recieve
still go through the same switching network at ATT
where they are being tapped into? Or are they
somehow routed around those hubs?
The records of my calls may reside only with Quest,
for example, but my actual conversations are still victim?

This is what the news caster also said tonight on the national news when it was revealed that the Repugs were up in arms over it.
Ricky it is the Repugs who are worried about the FBI raidng their offices. I can hear the shreaders all the way out here in Ca.
As others have said Brads concern is stories that need to be seen but are hidden by the MSM.
This story has been well covered.
You have spent enough time around here that if you had read anything at all you would know that we all are against ANYONE committing these kind of acts and wish upon them the full force of the law!
Ricky’s world
I’m very tempted to point out that ricky is an idiot, because he clearly cannot read or spell and he does keep saying the most INANE & UNTRUE things!
But, out of respect for Brad, I will not point out the obvious, that ricky is an idiot. Despite his constantly displaying his tiresome (though, I admit, at times amusing) idiotic qualities, like his inability to comprehend simple things that have been repeatedly explained to him, I steadfastly refuse to state the blindingly obvious fact that ricky is an idiot.
It would just hurt his feelings & that would be unkind, since the fact that he is an idiot is, I’m sure, burden enough.
Joan – Comment # 28
You know what Joan,..
I think ricky may be an idiot.
That fact should be exposed,.. but don’t tell Richard.
Big Dan # 24
That pretty much said it!
I haven’t heard ONE Democrat stand up for Jefferson yet. Nobody here or in Washington. It’s the Republicans that are.
Once again, we wake up in crazyworld!
BlueBear2 #26
The FCC controls all of this. There is not much we can do. They divide up the country and we must live with it.
I called Qwest and was informed that they were getting a lot of calls from people wanting to switch to their services.
Each state is different, so call several folks, and probably including the FCC, or visit web sites, to find some way to punish the spy accomplices.
Turk pointed out in #23 that one state is looking into the situation.
Lets keep digging …

Thank you for going easy on Ricky!

As posted on,.. "Republican Sinners" blog,…
Ricky Vandal – Lust
Ricky Vandal (aka Mongoosejuice2004, aka LindsaysLover, aka Bonnie, aka Ricky, [added 1/26] aka Sam Boogliodemus, aka hunkyboy, aka Halibot22, aka Halie Bott, aka JohnnyVegas ) is probably the most prolific commentor/blogger that has ever graced this Mortal Coil.
If there’s a hot topic, a big "buzz word" or a sensibility left to offend, Rick is there putting up a new blog, complete with e-commerce links, to try to capitalize off the subject. But on top of that, Rick uses his seemingly massive amount of spare time to post comments in blogs. Apparently, his e-commerce revenue leaves him with enough money to buy Poise "Creamy, Golden Moments" Diapers so he can shit himself instead of leaving his chair.
Doing a search on "Ricky Vandal" alone yields too much information to digest in one, two or even thirty good sittings.
This much is clear, though, Rick is a dyed-in-wool Conservative. A Republican Underground Hero, if you will. Don’t let the author of a blog called The New Democrat (in which he lists his favorite Dems as Joementum and Hillary Clinton) fool you.
His cut-throat capitalist instincts make him a classic example for Republicans to point to when they say that their way is the better way. And, according to Rick himself, El Rushbo, Instapundit, Andrew Sullivan and other Conservative Heavyweights have given him props:
I received many links to my blog. From Instapundit and other major bloggers. Even one from Rush Limbaugh. The blog had a google pagerank of seven, which meant it was on the first page of any google and yahoo search for "John Kerry" or "The New Soldier" or any mix of the words. I received a lot of google searches after the book was mentioned on the Sean Hannity show on Fox News and when it was mentioned on the Rush Limbaugh talk radio show. I had 300,000 unique visitors between August, when I started the blog and November the second, election day.
With friends like those, we can assume that he follows the Teachings of Jesus and be a good, kind, Christian Republican who does no wrong and covets nothing Sinful. For, if he did, he would most assuredly be cast from the storied Halls of Conservative Champions and never be accepted as a True American again. All his e-commerce pennies would stop flowing in and he’d have to go back to using the toilet again. Rush would denounce Rick on air. Bush would call a press conference to apologize for letting someone like Rick do his dirty campaign work.
Right? (Hey, I only put it like that because that’s what standard Rush holds everyone else to. Right?)
But, hey, enough of my jabbering on what kind of person Ricky is. He reveals more about himself than I ever will. I’ll let his own words show that he is a hardcore member of God’s Political Party:
The leftists’ rants about Christian bigotry drives even the moderate Christians, who would normally laugh about this whole story, to defend their faith. – From his New Democrat blog, waxing all-knowing wisdom about the Faith (because he’s a Republican, of course)
You Democrats can have all these abortionists. I see all these liberal jokers came together on the Washington Mall. It looks like dress rehearsal for the time they’ll be spending together in HELL. -A comment left on Burnt Orange Report by Rick, regarding abortion (obviously)
You just gotta love Democrats. They think Judge Hoore is going to be our Nader. Won’t happen. You know why, because we got brains. We won’t let our vote get split. – Rick professing his Republicanship while commenting about the "Ten Commandments" Judge, Roy Moore (with an M)
Let’s see: Claiming to be "holier-than-thou"? Check. Professing the wisdom of Conservatives? Check. Lusting after the Presidents daughter while slathering Wesson Corn Oil on his palms and making creepy posts about dating her? Um… Check?
Witness his website named "I Love Jenna Bush" (it has to be seen to be believed) in which he proclaims among pictures of Jenna in various states of dress and sobriety:
You’re the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen. When I see you I smile. When you smile it makes me wanna fly. The sexy look in your eyes always gets to me. The careless way you move your hips when you walk makes me dream dreams of us.
She talks with a Southern drawl. She acts kinda crazy. Her life’s a mystery to me. I dream about her hand holding mine. It’s a feeling that’s fine. And I just gotta say she’s cast a magical spell. And it’s working so well. All I dream of lately is kissing her belly button..
It doesn’t matter where you go or what you do I want to spend each moment of the day with you I never knew that I could be in love like this it’s crazy but it’s true I only want to be with you
Oh Jenna
Oh Jenna
Oh Jenna
I love you
After typing that last bit he had to get a new keyboard. Spooge and electronics don’t mix.
And, just to prove that this site is his (he fails to mention his name in the text), this is the address of one of the pages on his site:
http://www.geocities.com/i_love_my_sweetie_jenna_bush/Jenna_and_Ricky.html
Doing a search on Ricky Vandal also brings up his old Jenna blog, ilovejennabush.blogspot.com, as well… a blog that has since been removed.
Creepy shit, eh? And don’t get me started on the Rick’s worship of false idols: The Church of Fandel and Blue Amazon. I’ll save that for another day.
In the meantime, Ricky should start getting a taste for felch because Satan is chock full and ready to leak.
Rick is currently trying to find a way out of posting on his New Democrat blog.
James 1:14,15
And each one is tempted, by his own desires being led away and enticed, afterward the desire having conceived, doth give birth to sin, and the sin having been perfected, doth bring forth death.
(Just a note before I end this, this post was made entirely possible by the generous Grants of Intelligence from tas (of Loaded Mouth) and Ron (of Why are We Back in Iraq?). And by viewers like you. Thank you!)
