The Minutes of Madison Townhall
News, Opinion, Action
formerly Townhall Meetup, Town Square
Tuesday, 5 September 2006

The Conservative Republicans of Madison met at 19:00 in the University of Wisconsin Union
which over looks Lake Mendota. Seven members were present; two left early. The honorable Steddy
was scribing the particulars of which he remembers of what he wants to record.

1. The meeting was interrupted by a parasailing daredevil flying over and buzzing low over the Lake and the UW Union terrace. It was suggested it may be a
terrorist plot and we should shoot it down. No action was taken since he flew away into the sunset.

2. FL warned of Dave Magnum lack of support from the party. Suggested a mention for him should be included in these minutes. 

Send Dave Magnum instead of Tammy to Washington!
Save the 2nd District

3. The Plame Game, Revisited! We are waiting the indictments for fraud. It was mentioned, of a one-time favorite Republican hopeful and possible Plame-mole, that Colin Powell was an "unpolitical" army general. 

4. What Not Items:

Rush Limbaugh was given 90 seconds on the CBS News. On his radio program, he said if he "saves one liberal" it is worth doing.

ABC is showing a two night docudrama called "Path to 9/11." It is schedule to begin this Sunday, 10-11 September. The husband of New York Senator, Hillary Rodham Clinton, is attempting to get rid of certain parts in the docudrama
that shows his failed policy on terrorism when he had served as the American president. (see Tim
Graham at NRO Corner) It is fun to watch the Democrats complain about a mere
movie. Hugh Hewitt writes "why does the left hate" this movie.

It was mentioned that another failed American president from the same
political party of the New York Senator's husband, is suffering from the Eisenhower syndrome: when you give an order then everybody follows that order. The boy wonder from Plains, Georgia, was no Ike Eisenhower who commanded respect
and loyalty from his assistants.

Democrats want to get rid of the Secretary of Defense though they don't want
to name the current office holder.

5. Military Tribunals? Good idea if they end in a firing squad.

6. John Edwards crosses over to '08.

7. Congressional ear-markings should have the sponsoring congressmen's name attached on them.

8. The Leftist bloggers hate Senator Lieberman for the one issue of his supporting Israel and the war despite his agreeing with every other liberal
crackpot idea.

9. Health care: we voted on pooling over government control of health "insurance." pooling was agreed as the only way since FL only gave us those two options.

10. What Not Items II:

Gas prices. It was mentioned that the CEO of Jetblue says if we moved to coal conversion and oil shale that in ten years we would be energy independent.

We voted to drill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Alaska, too.

Mexican electoral "dispute" ala algore. Build the wall,before the communists form a parallel government down there.

11. No response yet from Congress to repeal the imported Kelo decision by theU.S. Supreme Court.

12. Taxes. Ho hum, Democrats want more.

13. Election of next Fearless Leader (FL):

There were two ballots. The first ballot had numerous errors on a par with the Democratic party's counting all-the-votes-fit-to-count. So, there was a second ballot, where Dave won 4-0 with one not-voting, two left-early including Dave hence his election as the FL-elect. (Hint: never leave any meeting early.)

There are wild, irresponsible rumors about making this scribe as the next fl. The Scribe is too busy with the minutes and Madison Townhall web-log. He is reminded of the movie, Its a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, where Buddy Hackett when told by Mickey Rooney to both fly the plane and wear/listen on the headset to the tower for instructions for landing the plane, said, "I don't want to, what are you doing, WHAT!, Are you: the hostess?" 

14. Action: It was agreed to meet at the Cancun Restaurant in October. The Mark Green for Governor Headquarter is near Cancun. FL suggested we first meet at the Green HQ from 19:00 until 20:00 in order to stuff envelope/make phonecalls. At 20:00, we debrief at Cancun.

15. The meeting degraded when old goat and FL began lessons in freon and chemistry. The other three remaining members' eyes started to grazed over.

Meeting adjourned at 21:10. David Aronin reminds us in his recent blog to vote.

Faithfully submitted,
