McDonald's Faces Suit After Girl Becomes Ill
POSTED: 9:03 pm EST February 18, 2006
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- The parents of a 5-year-old girl have sued McDonald's Corporation claiming its French fries contained a wheat protein that caused their daughter to become seriously ill.
Mark and Theresa Chimiak said in the lawsuit filed Friday in Palm Beach Circuit Court that their daughter Annalise had an intolerance to gluten.
The Chimiaks said they filed the lawsuit after McDonald's acknowledged earlier in the week that wheat and dairy ingredients were used in cooking oil for French fries.
The family's attorney, Brian W. Smith, said the family had checked with McDonald's before she ate the fries and were assured the product was gluten-free.
Jack Daly, senior vice president of McDonald's, said in an e-mail to the Palm Beach Post that the company is conducting research to determine that the fries have no gluten.
This suit is total Bravo Sierra, like the coffee incident. A smart lawyer (read that "Smarmy" slime) can make a federal case about anything.
"said the family had checked with McDonald's before she ate the fries and were assured the product was gluten-free."
What, they asked a pimply faced 17 year old "associate" behind the counter "Do your fries have any gluten in them?", "No, they're just potatoes"
I smell a finger in the chili.
When did everyone become so sensitive to their food? Here's where I believe in Darwin. If you can't eat regular, normal food,...goodbye. Move on. RIP
I forget to post the pic...
When did people who were sensitive about their food let their kids eat McDonald's french fries?
As far as the sensitivity thing goes, prepared foods have so many ingredients now, you never know what you're getting.
If a child has issues, maybe, just maybe, Mom should consider cooking things from scratch for herself.
You cant expect counter people to know what's in the grease.
If you have a problem with certain foods and you have common sense you bag it.
This is another case of suit disease.
Good point.
Also when did everybody start expecting perfect safety and no risk in every aspect of their lives? No risks, perfect safety, no danger is a fantasy and a luxury. It's OK if life has risks and is imperfect. It's called life 101.
Whatever happened to using plain old potatoes in plain old cooking oil?
You sound like a good lawyer wannabe or you may be one, from the tone of your post)... It's not always somebody else's fault, friend. There was no major problem caused by this child eating some french fries, and I would bet big money on it. It is a lawyer trying to get paid!
I explained my experience about gluten intolerance, but I will go further. Here's a link to some real facts...
Celiac Disease: A lifelong autoimmune intestinal disorder, found in individuals who are genetically susceptible. Damage to the mucosal surface of the small intestine is caused by an immunologically toxic reaction to the ingestion of gluten and interferes with the absorption of nutrients.
Celiac Disease (CD) is unique in that a specific food component, gluten, has been identified as the trigger.
Gluten is the common name for the offending proteins in specific cereal grains that are harmful to persons with CD. These proteins are found in all forms of wheat (including durum, semolina, spelt, kamut, einkorn, and faro), and related grains, rye, barley, and triticale and must be eliminated.
Yep, you're probably a lawyer...
You said, in part: Doesn't matter if they asked the 17 y/o behind the counter or the CEO. In our Anglo-American common law system, a company is responsible for the actions of its employees if those actions are done while on the job and as part of the job.
You are correct, of course. The issue here is whether it is part of the job description of the counter help to advise what the ingredients in the cooking oil used by McDonald's are. I am not sure that it is part of that job.
This article says there should be no problem with the fries.
McDonald's news fries parents of allergic kids - February 15, 2006
To parents like Kaur, french fries had been one of the few "safe" items on fast-food menus. But on Monday, McDonald's acknowledged that a flavoring agent in the cooking oil used to make fries is derived from wheat and dairy ingredients, which can be off-limits to people with food allergies.
Still, physicians say there is no need to set off alarm bells yet.
The disclosure doesn't automatically put McDonald's fries on the forbidden list, according to Dr. Stefano Guandalini, a pediatric gastroenterologist with the University of Chicago's Celiac Disease Program...
"When you process the ingredients such as wheat in order to derive flavoring, you leave the gluten behind," Guandalini explained, comparing it to vinegar, another product from grains that are neutralized by the distillation process. "We have never found any evidence that eating french fries is a problem."
You have a point.
They will lose. Due diligence on the part of the parents is not satisified by simply asking a sever to validate the absense of a threat to their minor child's welfare, and the parents already knew this, as well, unless they are retarded.
This is another ham & egger looking for a quick pay out from deep pockets
I could break this down in one minute.
So will Micky D.
"Whatever happened to using plain old potatoes in plain old cooking oil?"
What, are you some kind of food nut fanatic or something? /sar.
But, but we can't stick with the basics!
Do you really expect to get freedom fried potatoes when you order them?
The fake crap is sooooo much better for the corporation...
< /sarc >
And butter too.
Other foods with wheat in them are deep fried in the same friers (fillet of fish is a likely example). There's wheat products all over the store and in the food prep areas. To go to a fast food restaurant with a serious wheat allergy is just plain stupid regardless of that the minimum wage person behind the counter says. The parents were seriously negligent.
I stick by my statement, If you are worried about what you eat , Carry a brown bag and eat what you carry.
Its BS asking waitresses and counter workers whats in the friggin food.Carry your own .
Especially with a food prep area with wheat products all over the place. For the parents to have the expectation that no wheat is present in any food prepared in that area is just plain stupid.
Did the mother know she or the father or both passed the problem to her daughter at birth? Maybe they should look in the mirror.
If this happened at Joe's burgers in Compton there would be no suit. They smell money.
This little girl is 5 yrs. old. I would have suspected she had been to fast food joint before now.
As far as the associate is concerned, yes I expect them to have some level of product knowledge or if they don't know to ask someone who does(read as should if you like). The information is available to both the public and associates. A simple visit to the website or it is available in the restraunt.
McDonald's french fries not gluten-free after all
If your child has wheat or dairy allergies or Celiac Disease, watch out for McDonald's french fries: the company has disclosed that a flavoring in the oil in which the potatoes are fried contains wheat and dairy derivatives. McDonald's had previously proclaimed its fries to be gluten-free, and the potatoes themselves are. But in voluntarily complying with new FDA labeling requirements that apply to packaged foods but not to restaurant offerings, McDonald's has added a "Contains wheat and milk ingredients" warning to the fry ingredient list on its Web site. According to the company's current listing of gluten-free offerings, kids with wheat sensitivities can safely substitute apple slices with caramel sauce, a side salad with Ranch dressing, or a Fruit & Walnut salad without the walnuts for those golden-brown potato strips. Something tells me, though, that a lot of them won't be lovin' it.http://specialchildren.about.com/b/a/243918.htm
As Mr Micawber (Dickens character) said, "if the law says that, then the law is an ass."
My sister is a celiac and I can't imagine her eating ANY potato product, much less french fries. Am I wrong??
Parents to pizza faced teenager behind counter,"Excuse me young man,are those gluten- free fries that you serve here?" To which pizza faced teenager replies"Fer sure,dude."Which the parents reply,"Great,we'll take one super size each,make that a double for our little girl here!"
Potatoes have no gluten, to my knowledge, but I am not an expert, by any means. I know that rice cakes with PEANUT BUTTER were my daughters favorite snack! You can find more info at my link above...
Empty the country of greedy lawyers. Make it glutton-free.
They tasted too good and didn't cause cancer? ;-)
What ever happened to bad luck.I couldn't tell you how many times I got sick after eating something.I 've had food poisoning from the mess hall as well as 80 other soldiers one time in Ft.Stewart.Did I get to sue the Army,hell no.My wife got really sick after eating a fish fillet sandwich at Burger King.We didn't sue.She just refuses to eat at BK anymore.People are just out to make a quick buck these days.
disagree. If McD's told the family that the fries were gluten-free, but they weren't, it's classic negligence.
Did they contact the teenager flipping burgers or the company headquarters for their information. Maybe it was the bun the hamburgers were on.
If a child has issues, maybe, just maybe, Mom should consider cooking things from scratch for herself.
That would be too much trouble, and then who would they be able to sue?
My sister is a celiac and I can't imagine her eating ANY potato product, much less french fries. Am I wrong??
Of course you are wrong, if she acts responsible how on earth will she be able to sue.
What about taking personal responsibility for our own results ? Ditto the earlier poster who indicated that those with "food issues" might want to avoid fast food places, even when comforted by teenagers. It is this type of crap that has us all hostage to lawyers and insurance companies.
The new labeling law was passed to correct the problem that not all ingredients had to be listed on food labels under the old system. McDonalds fries, because they were said by the company to be gluten free and because they were cooked in dedicated fryers ( not shared with breaded items) were thought to be a safe restaurant food in the celiac community. So now we find that the flavorings contained gluten and perhaps they were not strictly gluten free. Perhaps the research on whether the gluten protein used in the flavoring actually survives the processing and ends up in the final food product will help us understand these issues. The same question existed with the issue of whether the gluten protein is eliminated by distillation in alcohol and vinegars.
This type of revelation about "hidden" gluten in prepared foods was inevitable as food companies really determine for the first time what is actually in the food they sell or serve. Many food items thought questionable will also now be declared safe for this same reason. In fact, I have read articles about major food companies deciding to reformulate their products to eliminate major food allergens in the process of complying with the new labeling law. In the end, I think this is a good thing. Food suppliers should know and reveal what is in the food they sell to the public. However, I would much rather have celiac sufferers realize that anytime you are eating out you take a risk, even if you are told the item is gluten free, and make an intelligent choice to accept that risk or not. Ultimately, with lawsuits like this restaurants will protect themselves by never claiming gluten free status for their food, even when it is, and the results are fewer choices and an even more restricted lifestyle for people with celiac disease. Nobody wins in this case but the lawyers.
I hope you realize you can't 'outgrow' an autoimmune disease. The wheat stimulates the destruction of the intestinal villi. You may not see the symptoms but the internal damage can still be occuring in isolated patches of the intestine. Sometimes the overt symptoms come back in middle age. The greatest risk that we were apprasised of regarding undetected symptoms or non-treatment (i.e gluten in your diet) was an elevated risk of lymphoma.
It may be 'easy' to ignore the diet, but I would be careful. If she is indeed over it I would think the blood test would have shown an absence of the anti-gliadin antibodies after a gluten challenge?
Thanks for the picture... It makes me think "What is the Breck Girl doing these days"
A good example of your point is the Malto Meal company which had been producing several cereals that should have been, according to the ingredients gluten-free.
They got sick of inquiries as to the 'purity' of their ingredients, so their solution was to add WHEAT STARCH to the product and stop the annoying phone calls.
McDonalds has been a bedrock of 'normalcy' for our celiac kids. If the lawsuits screw this up we will not be pleased.

I broadly concur with the above 2 reviews. Excellent helmet overall for a bargain price of £59 (via eBay) as of 17th April 2013. On the upside...
- Double D ring strap, fiberglass composite, removable/washable lining, good vents, Quick release Pinlock visor. Studs for protective film (if you race), very light at 1350 gm +/- 50grm. PLUS 5 STAR SHARP RATED... equal to helmets at 3x to 4x the price...
On the downside:
- A bit noisy at speed... unless you have good ear plugs... which are essential to protect hearing anyway.
- No wind ingress through visor (for me - although others reported that) but very slight rain ingress when raining heavy at motorway speed.
Overall, bargain helmet at the price. As is the full carbon unit at around £189. But at this spec... prices are likely to rise in the future...

Emmys' Fashion Flops
I LOVE awards shows. Not because of the celebrities being honored or because of the entertaining show, but because of the fashion – good and bad! As much as I love seeing stars dress in the latest designer gowns and borrowed jewels, I also love seeing the crazy outfits that some stars dare to wear. It's like a train wreck…I just can't stop looking.
This year's 2010 Primetime Emmy Awards didn't disappoint in the fashion category. Eva Longoria and Julie Benz played it safe in simple yet elegant gowns, while January Jones and Tina Fey pushed the envelope with very memorable dresses. Even Kelly Osbourne was a hit and looked stunning!
My fashion flop award for the night goes to the very talented Rita Wilson. All I want to say is…R ita, what were you thinking? If you have a stylist, they need to be dismissed, and if you have friends that let you leave the house in that, they really aren't your friends. OK, so I'm being a little harsh, but from the fit to the crazy matchy-matchy shoes, nothing from this look worked beyond the color. Of course, a slew of other nominees joined Mrs. Tom Hanks in my fashion flop category, and here they are……

In the FAQ section there are FAQS and other stuff from the X360 version. Can i still use them for the PS3 version that i have?
And which FAQ/walkthrough do yall recommenend?
Thank you
Yes, you can use them for the PS3 version, most changes made from the 360 are minimal (what exactly is outlined in the sticky thread here).
QueenAdreena's FAQ is pretty detailed and will let you get any missables and optional stuff at the earliest point possible among other useful info. It's not 100% complete as far as postgame dungeons are concerned, but at that point the rest should be easily figured out by yourself.
unknownleon (Topic Creator)5 years ago#3
Thank you very much. Looks like a great FAQ. I will use it for sure.
I have a another question about the monsters item drops. How many items do a monster have in that game that he can drop? I mean when im going to get everything in that game i wanna have all the items displayed that a monster can drop.
Sorry for my english
Usually each enemy carries about 3-4 different items. The ingame Monster Collection will automatically update the list of items they drop after you got them at least once, so you can always use that as reference when looking for something in particular later on.
Be aware though that each enemy can only give you one of their potential items randomly per battle (either as a drop or by stealing).
unknownleon (Topic Creator)5 years ago#5
Thanks again and what about the bosses? I mean for example: When i defeat the undying dragon will he always drop the darkness ring or does he carry something else with him?
No worries, if it's important key items like the Darkness Ring you'll always get them. IIRC bosses usually only carry just one kind of item (or none at all) anyway.
unknownleon (Topic Creator)5 years ago#7
Thanks again.
I checked the sricky thread to check the differences between the PS3 and the XBOX360 version and i recognize there arent many. But there was a message
''A couple of extra treasure chests were added, and some of the final ones have been changed a bit''
Do you know the locations of those extra treasure chests or do you know a page were i can look for those? And what about the final ones? Did he talking about the ones in the final dungeon of the story?
Personally, I'm not entirely sure about the PS3 version really having any new additional chests compared to the 360 version...actually, I don't think so. If you use the current guides and open all the chests mentioned there you shouldn't miss anything...didn't have any problem with it.
About those final chests mentioned, what they did was shuffle some of the characters' last skills around and put other elemental seals on them to prevent you from getting them as early as you could in the original game. The skills section of the sticky has the most important changes covered for it. Most of those chests only concern postgame though after you already beat the final boss, and none are missables, so you'll be fine in any way.
unknownleon (Topic Creator)5 years ago#9
Thanks again.
Ive read that you can get all 9 Endings in one playthrough... is this possible?
And what about the private actions in this game? Did they trigger something else beside the endings? For example a track for the jukebox that you will not hear in any other cutscene?
PAs are only for endings. It's not too hard getting all nine in one playthrough, especially if you follow a guide. Even if you somehow missed a scene along the way, there's a creatable item that will raise the characters' affinity points as much as you want, so it's still possible to get all endings in any case.

De La Hoya Rejects Canelo-Chavez Without 156 Weight
By David "Los Gatos" Rosenberg
Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya has rejected a possible super-fight between Mexican superstars Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. - unless his promotional rival Top Rank agrees to a catch-weight of "156-pounds." De La Hoya, pressed with questions from reporters, stated he'll make the fight "only at 156."
Top Rank has interest in the fight, with a proposed catch-weight of 158-pounds. Chavez, the WBC middleweight champion, retained his title on Saturday night in Houston, Texas with a fifth round stoppage of Peter Manfredo. Alvarez returns on November 26th in Mexico, defending his WBC junior middleweight title against former champion Kermit Cintron.
There are serious doubts on whether or not Chavez can even make 158, but 156 seems impossible.

Skip to comments.Help Needed
Posted on 01/22/2011 5:20:17 PM PST by skimask
My son has asked me for input/advice as to which compact or sub compact semi auto hand gun to buy in either a 9mm or 40 SW. I am partial to the H & K in a 40 SW configuration with a laser sight. I also like the Sig 226 in a 9mm. What do yall think?
PING to some guys that might be able to help.
I just bought a Beretta PX4 Storm Sub-Compact in 9mm and it's the best "small" handgun I've ever had. 13 round magazine (don't ask me how they do that...black hole technology??), very pleasant to shoot, and as accurate as my big Beretta.
The SP101 is good for 9mm. Glock or Sig for 40 cal.
Glock 27 in .40, it works.
Superb, coming from a .45 fan.
Try message boards, of course opinions will vary
An indoor range near here rents handguns by the hour. $40 to use their firearm plus a box of 50 rounds and one hour range time. Not a bad deal
Find a range where you can rent either or, and have your son try them both.
This is not personal, so please don't take it that way, but...I am not a fan of laser sights. I believe that, for the most part, laser sights are a great feature to show a customer when someone is selling them a gun. The reality is that all the laser sights, red dots, tritium, gps homing bullets, or other fancy gizmos won't do you any good if you can't control the trigger. If you master the trigger, the rest of that stuff will lose it's value to you. Control that trigger and you will win that gunfight. No gizomos needed.
Having larger hands, I never liked sub-compacts.
During the past year, I was in the market for the exact same thing, and I got a Springfield Armory XD .40 compact(their next to smallest size). The mags will hold 12 flush fit, it's as accurate as you'd want it to be, and they are rock solid. Like you, the HK handguns have always been my favorite, but you can't beat the XD for a solid semiauto carry gun.
Makes good sense...Thank you
I like to use a laser when I'm doing dry-fire practice. It really shows you where you make the gun move. But, when the bullets go in, the laser comes off.
My son tried to reply but I guess his account is still in the verification process or something.
Anyway, his questions are:
What will it be used for? Home/self defense? Range? Concealed carry? Does the person have prior firearm experience? And what is his stature?
I'm partial to Glocks (hard to beat a G19 or G23), but think the new Springfield XD[M] is real nice too.
Sig has sort of a unique thing going with their P250 2SUM. You get a 9mm and .40 cal together for a lot less than the price of 2 guns.
1911 and Milt Sparks leather.
He might have to learn I'm right the hard way, but he will have fun doing it and he will then think he discovered 1911 singlehandedly . Most pistoleers do. Good luck
I have an XD 40 and am very pleased. I called the company with some questions and the person I delt with was very knowledgeable and helpful.
He looked at the Beretta PX4 and liked it.
He can handle his self. He needs something his wife can handle too. No disrespect to a 45. A great weapon
Thanks that's a nice one
Good idea.....thanks
You're at the top of the food chain with either of those. A bigger bullet is always nice, but modern 9mm ammo is very good.
I'd say go with the one you like the fit, ergonomics, and trigger on best.
Thank you
Lasers and red dots are, for training, sort of a modern version of an old technique of Ed McGivern's (probably the most proficient revolver shooter of all time) in the 30's. He suggested putting a dot of red paint on a mirror, lining up the muzzle of the revolver on it, and dry firing at increasing speed until you were steady.
Given he put 5 shots in a playing card at 15 feet in 2/5 of a second out of a S&W .38 revolver in 1934 he might have a point.
I have a Sig 226 9mm but I want that H & K 40 like a hog wants slop. That 40SW round packs a punch.
A SIG P226 is a full sized gun; I have one. If you have smaller hands, like I do, the SIG is a good fit. Instead of the P226, go with a SIG P229. It's a compact size pistol. I also like Kahr pistols; they're small and very flat, but pricey. However, if you want good stopping power, and a compact size, it's hard to beat a single action 1911 45ACP ( as mentioned above)in either Commander size or a more compact version. Colt, Kimber, and Springfield Armory (to name a few makers) make good 1911's. Kimber came out last year with a bobtail version of the 1911 to improve concealability.
.45 he'll want out of the 9mm first time he tries a .45
Just save some time and money.
You cannot beat the Sig 226 if you have that kind of money
Yes he has hand gun exp. looking for self defense. Thanks
I've shot and enjoyed a SIG 225 (the single stack version of the 226)and thought it was a great gun.
No experience with that particular H&K, although I do have a fondness for their funky P7 series (referred to as a "staple gun" by Jeff Cooper, as reported to me by the honorable FReeper Squantos).
I'm actually a .38 Super fan, when it's loaded close to the 125 grain .357 levels.
Xd or Glock.
I could not disagree any more. Which just goes to show how much personal preference has to do with this subject.
This tells me he needs to forget the .40 unless his wife has relatively large hands and has experience with the sharp recoil of this cartridge. The overwhelming majority of women will not find the .40 to be an experience they care to repeat with regular range time.
One of each. Just in case.
I did some R&D work with a former Delta Operator who swore by Glock for two reasons. One, it was reliable with whatever he could find, and two, he could throw it out of the bus window while getting out of Dodge without regrets.
I don't know what he would have thought of the XD, he bought the farm in Iraq in '04.
I agree with his thinking. The protagonist in my new book carries a Glock for those very reasons. And after you throw one out the bus window (or overboard) you can get one just like it anywhere, anytime just about.
When you mentioned his wife's use , the additional attention and training for a double action semi auto came to mind. Two very different trigger pulls. Not to say bad, just the first shot is very different from the rest. I'm sure you will see to training and practice. Remind them - glasses and ear protection . safety safety .Good luck, God bless.
Input from my firearms enthusiast son. He's young but he knows his stuff.
Since he has handgun experience and his wife will be using it also, I would recommend any of these.
Sig p229 9mm/40 S&W
Glock 19 9mm
Glock 23 40 S&W
Ruger SR9C 9mm
Beretta Px4 compact 9mm
Springfield XD compact 9mm/40 S&W
And mandatory for any home defense firearm, it has to have a flashlight mounted (Streamlight TlR-3 is the best option) because identifying your target is the most important thing.
Easy answer: Buy the firearm that he can consistantly and reliably shoot with accuracy, and is confortable in his hand.
Long answer: Read the whole thread.
Still like my 1911s better, but that's a lot of iron to strap on every day, for most people.
Glock 17 9mm. In 9mm round is ubiquitous.
I have to agree, 1911, is the way to, sheer stopping power, ease of shooting and like Kbennkc wrote, it's a slim gun, fits nice. Springfield and Kimber both make very excellent .45s in a variety of models.
with a single stack mag, a .45 will fit a woman's hand too. I can only speak for kimber on this part, but recoil is very manageable as the weight of the gun takes some out of it too. I have no trouble popping off multiple fast shots.
Agreed.....nothing I've shot to date compares to my Kimber 1911.
Well....maybe the Wilson Combat CQB but it's a bit rich for me right now.:)
What do you want this firearm for?
Concealed carry, home defense, car/truck gun, range gun?
Who will be using this firearm?
Are they small or large statured?
Do they have prior experience with firearms?
.40 cal is recommended. I carry concealed everyday and I love my Sig. I would suggest you go with what feels best in your hands. I also love H&K for its reliability. You can't go wrong with either brand

My custom stage...
Pros: Can't die easily
dunno XD
Cons: It's kinda hard to fight when you're getting stabbed with spike traps...
It's design is a box with a block of open space on top. The whole bottom of the box is a spike trap.
Pokemon Stadium 2 is alright, except it gets very very very gay when the ground becomes a treadmill that pushes you off and you cant get back on. Especially if you have a character like Ike who is terrible at getting back up on stage.
Hyrule Castle? There is none, I believe you are referring to Temple. Its an alright map..better than Rumble Falls, or Rainbow Cruise, or Pokemon Stadium 2 . Atleast theres nothing that pushes you off the screen.
I know I hate the sample stages too! Like the maze is just retarded the only way to get a kill is to get them on the top of the stage, and when your trying to get a smash ball, theres too many walls and the smash balls can go through the walls so its a big pain in the neck.
New Pork City is alright. Its not bad at all. No obstacles or anything.
Except the Pink Monster that causes 200% damage then sends you flying, but its very very easy to avoid that. It can be used very usefully with CPUs because they will walk right into him.

If you want to add me in Brawl, PM me that you're going to (and include your brawl name and friend code). Also, PM me if you delete me, so I can delete your name, too. I need space, ya know.
For anyone who added me in Brawl and deleted me because it still said "Awaiting Registration", please re-add me. It just means we both haven't been online at the same time.
Exactly my opinion on Pokemon Stadium and I don't like the Fans part since its just stupid IMOOriginally Posted by Sparx
And I thought it was called the Temple but not too sure to correct him lol. But I don't like the huge stages.
Never played the Maze. I didn't play the sample stages yet.
New Pork City is horrible!! It's way too hard to controll anyone on the small scale. It's waaaaaaaaaaaaay too big!! And I hate that monster because I can't even control my character normally let alone avoiding some random pink monster thing. Lol

Skip to comments.While in Congress, Gingrich co-sponsored 418 bills with Pelosi
Posted on 12/07/2011 6:29:55 PM PST by Fred
DES MOINES, Iowa Newt Gingrich has taken heat on the campaign trail from conservatives for filming a 2008 commercial on climate change with House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi.
But that was hardly the first time the Republican presidential candidate and former House speaker collaborated with Pelosi.
Gingrich co-sponsored 418 bills in Congress with Pelosi during the 12 years they served together in the House, according to the Library of Congresss THOMAS database.
Gingrich was in Congress from 1979 to 1999. Pelosi has served since 1987.
As a matter of comparison, House Speaker John Boehner, who has served in Congress with Pelosi for more than 20 years, has only co-sponsored 104 bills with her.
Many of the bills Gingrich and Pelosi co-sponsored were hardly divisive: authorizing an award for Mother Teresa, giving a congressional gold medal to former President Gerald Ford and recognizing the 50th anniversary of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.
But one piece of legislation could be problematic for Gingrich with conservatives: the Global Warming Prevention Act of 1989, which never made it out of committee.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...
I know it is not only me but others have said the same.
Why is it that certain times we come on here now we see a certain candidates supporters always putting up negatives about our top runners.
So do you think Paul will win the election with what he stands on against bozo the clown?
Speaking of RINOs...
I guess that part doesn't bother me that much. I'm sure that he and the Queen can find something to agree on, and there is of course a lot of pressure to be bipartisan on both sides.
But when you look at the actual issues, that is the problem. Of course, it's a problem with all these jokers. Romney brags that he can work with Democrats. That's the last thing I want them to do. I'd like a candidate who says he'll stick his finger in their eyes. Who says that though?
The Romneybots just don't get it. We are fully aware of these things Gingrich has done. They are baked into our calculations. He's still the better choice to Romney simply because he has conservative bona fides. It was not Romney who carted and directed the attack on the dems and their culture of corruption in `94. It was not Romney who authored the Contract with America. It was not Romney who forced Clinton's hand on welfare reform and it was not Romney who attempted to hold Clinton accountable for his illegal actions through impeachment.
It WAS Romney who birthed Romneycare which was the blue print to Obamacare. It WAS Romney who disavowed Reagan in 1994 while running against Teddy. It was Romney who advocated gun control and abortion.
No matter what the Romneybots say and/or do, they can not make Romney have conservative bona fides and they can not take away from Newt his conservative bona fides.
Therefore, game over for Romney.,
How many bills did Obama co-sponsor with anyone?
Nobody who could actually solve America's problems could ever get elected. We have grown a dependent class that will reduce us to anarchy before America can be re-instituted.
That's awful. Let's re-elect Mr. Obama just to show how upset we are.
20 bills on defense, justice, treasury, and interstate commerce is the limit. That would limit the nonsense. Also no amendment may be introduced unless it is specific in nature to the business of the bill. Adding a $600,000 appropriation for a guppy research pond at Mississippi State University as an amendment to a bill detailing oil and gas leases in Alaska is pure Washington Crapola.
The only legislative co-sponsor for the entire Obama record is some guy named Louis Cypher. Who is that?
you're liberal on certain social and foreign issues, yes so out of curiosity can you tell me please.
Does libertarians not have their own ticket?
Do they now have their own websites?
Do they not have their own debates/
I ask because we never hear anything about them and is that the reason why the likes of Paul uses the republican ticket to promote his idea which are not conservative or republican at all.
No one has any business sponsoring 418 bills for any reason. This is another example of why we need to return to a congress of citizen volunteers.
It's due to the political system we currently inhabit. Sure there are many other parties, but in our two-party legislature different groups have to congeal with the party they find that their beliefs align.
Which is why Communists/Socialists (Maxine Waters, BHO) have joined the democratic party and Libertarians (Ron Paul, Jeff Flake) affiliate themselves more closely with Republicans.
Yeah, let's be happy eating a **** sandwich over a **** taco.
Well, I'm NOT a Romneybot, but have lived a few years (63) and have learned from too many past experiences that Newt cannot be trusted. He knows what to say to what group. Like the Bible says that we like to have people around us that tell us what we want to hear? Well, Newt has mastered the game of telling us what we wanted to hear. He got a COUPLE concessions from Clinton, but by that time, he was so over the conservatives and so into Newt that he blew everything off. Nothing lasted that he got. If anything, everything is worse today. So, it's not that we're all for Romney. Stop the crap about that and listen! No votes have been counted in any primary or caucus yet. And, like Sean Hannity says, this is the time to get the stuff out there so people know the good and the bad, let people sort it out now so we can ponder these things BEFORE we go to vote starting in January. I'm also tired of everybody saying that Newt is the only one who can take on Obama. There is no guarantee that Newt could win, given his baggage and flip-flops in the past. Obama has lots of ammunition from his (Newt's) record to nail him on a lot of things. Newt's ego is another issue. If he falls badly in a debate with Obama, it would be bad, especially with everybody talking about him like he's the messiah, or something. Folks, we've been there, done that. Don't even have a stupid t-shirt to take home, either. I'm alarmed that Newt might get it. You wait long enough and you'll see why. The debates do NOT show the real Newt. He's great and has great ideas he offers in them, but they area dime a dozen and don't expect him to follow through with much of it because he'll already be onto something else, and not necessarily something better. He spouts conservative ideas because he has realized that is what we want to hear. He does not lead by example, though. That is the troubling part. Listen to Mark Steyn, Ann Coulter, Glenn Beck. There are a LOT of reasons to take a pause in this rush to anoint him. This is the time to look at all the candidates and try to get the word out about the more conservative ones. I don't want a repeat of 2008. It would be all over.
first let me say thank you not causing this into an argument.
I can answer why Walters is in the Dem party just like many of her socialist pals.
Long time ago they wanted to take over a party and boy did they do that.
You'll see on that link that way back they wanted to take over a party.
As for libertarians running on a republican ticket using our debates , CPAC etc well I ma curious as to why.
Do they look to impose and take over like the socialist have with the Dems?
I don't know and that is why I asked you as a libertarian.
Surely you must see that libertarians views are not socially or internally in line with the GOP but they are not in line fiscally with the left so why not set your own debates, your own ticket and get your message out that way .
I can only speak for me and others who I know or who I have talked to on here and at conservative events but conservatives are getting pissed off .
Again I am no mood for an argument, it';s late and I ma tired plus I have to get up really early UCK
Has anyone noticed how many conservatives have an impossible purity test?
Has anyone noticed how many conservatives are engaged in a suicide pact?
Yes, they are the same. Fools.
Or did Pelosi sponsor 418 bills with Gingrich?
What gets me is that these "Journalists" diggin up this crap can tell us how long the skidmarks in Newts underwear is but they cant find anything on Obama.
Why are they so frightened of Obama?
not really, conservatives do not want nor do most republicans or even Dems want homosexual marriage, men marrying 8 women , have a crack house next to a school, no sex age law so adults can have sex with little kids, sex with animals etc etc you know what I am saying I;m sure.
Plus international issues also, where some libertarians are in more tune with the left.
I honestly don't understand why libertarians think they should run on a GOP ticket, come on conservative websites, use our debates etc etc.
If they think their message is good and they always try and make it look like theirs a lot of them then why not set up their own debates, have their own websites.
Anyway off to bed and thank you.
It wasn't Gingrich who "forced" Clinton's hand on welfare reform, either.
President Clinton vetoed the welfare reform bill the first time it hit his desk.
What happened next?
Gingrich and the GOP caved. They added into the bill "improvements" demanded by Clinton, including billions of dollars in NEW entitlement spending for federally funded childcare programs, new Medicaid eligibility, job subsidies and so on.
After adding billions and billions in NEW entitlement spending, Clinton signed the "improved" bill.
Moreover, some economists believe that this bill really moved very few people off welfare. Rather, they find, the fact that the economy was in the midst of the longest, biggest boom since the end of WWII was responsible for moving 40-80% of those who left welfare to work.
Rick Perry of course.
Be honest and straight forward.
Be as consistent as possible.
Give direct non political answers.
I guess that's why Nanners threatened him on Monday.
As someone who has spent years studying world finance, I am to the point where I wish the government would simply give us a 4 year hiatus of social issues being politicized.
It's a dream, I know, but I am truly terrified at the current economic status quo. Focusing on the US economy needs to be our future president's primary focus.
The other issues are great to be passionate about. But without food and electricity, it all seems sort of petty.
still up
so let us all marry what ever we want, let adults have sex with kids, have sex with animals
what made this country great was the back bone of the family not dirty little perverts wanting sex in public, with kids and animals.
There is no way these dirty little perverts need to go need kids and yea we need laws to protect them we need laws for many things socially otherwise we'd have a perverted queer child molesting agenda going on.
I get so pissed off with those thinking we don';t need to protect our kids etc and they hide behind no Govt or freedom
food electric, no what is important is family I say that as a father and husband and someone who grew up in foster homes .
family is more important than money
You're taking what I say out of context. The current laws on the books that protect children and the family are essential for a stable society.
My point is that we need to maintain the current laws while focusing our attention on fixing the economy. I believe that our current system does a decent job of protecting the family unit.
This is 'history' in my book. Newt knows better now; who the enemies are; and he looks them in the eye and does not blink. It is over for Cain; and it should be over for Paul. Time to move on for those who support both. . .
Our currant laws are being turned into a sick social experiment right now because of the radical left.
See this is where libertarians or some anyway as not are sick and perverted go along with this crap.
2 homosexual women got a kid, he was was boy, they have now started to inject him to stop him from being him turning into a boy because they want the boy turned into a girl.
hey if some want sex in public, want sex with animals and yes there is a bill right now waiting for zro to sign it for the military, drugs legal and next to a school then guess what the perverted sick fools will be able to turn kids into other perverts.
Now I do not know if you want sex in public, sex with little kids and I friggin hope not as every dirty child molester should be off the street etc but we need laws and those shouting about we need to look at how much we pay taxes is more important to me is sick
Even better!
No, we'll elect a Republican who'll do the same thing as Obama (push global warming, healthcare mandates, support bailouts, etc) and convince folks in the next election cycle the Dems are the only choice to alter our course...

The Canadian government will present legislation next year that would make the sale of marijuana legal, its health minister has stated. If enacted, the move would make Canada one of the biggest Western nations to permit extensive use of the drug. Health Minister Jane Philpott pledged on Wednesday to keep cannabis "out of the hands of children and earnings from the hands of bad guys". Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pushed for legalization throughout his campaign. The statement accompanied 20 April - an unofficial vacation amongst marijuana advocates. Numerous cannabis users showed outside Parliament in Ottawa on mercurymmj .

Feds ask Supreme Court to avoid of suit over Colorado
Posted on 29 aug 2015 by Admin |
The federal government has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to avoid wading into a claim brought by Oklahoma and Nebraska over Colorado's legislated marijuana system.
Oklahoma and Nebraska state Colorado's legal marijuana system has developed a flood of modern-day bootleggers who are buying pot in Colorado and after those unlawfully crossing state lines. Oklahoma and Nebraska have sued Colorado, asking the Supreme Court to block the state's legal marijuana system. Colorado asked the court to toss out the claim, and the Supreme Court this fall asked the federal government to weigh in.

In reality, this movement was far more diverse in class and race than critics at the time, or historians, realized.

Berry Craig: Historically, labor-haters like Gingrich have tried to divide workers by skill, race, gender, religion, ethnicity and nationality. Today, the wedge issues include abortion, school prayer, guns and gay marriage.
Class Warfare: Is It Real? Is It Over? Or Has It Just Begun?
Charles Hayes: Now in my seventh decade, I haven't been able to rid myself of the unrelenting impression that America as a land of opportunity is, for an ever-increasing percentage of our population, a losing proposition.
Which Way Occupy LA?
Margot Paez: The large group of American working class who stood on the corner of Spring and Temple with determination and hope, have disappeared. There are 500 tents at Occupy LA, and only five people standing on the corner on a given day.
The Ominous Expansion of Class-Action Suits
Wendy McElroy: In the largest class-action lawsuit in American history, Walmart v. Dukes, Walmart stands accused of systematically discriminating against 1.5 million women in wages and promotions.
The Unbearable Whiteness of Being
Mark Naison: When my working-class white friends and fellow coaches attacked affirmative action—which they did vociferously and often—it was about preferential treatment that they saw blacks and Latinos getting on the job, especially in the civil service.

Tennessee's second SEC matchup comes up on Saturday. Both the Bulldogs and the Vols are looking at the possibility of stealing second place in the SEC East, and a win on Saturday would be very helpful to either one.
Both teams are talented, and right now, Georgia is favored by one measly point.
Despite the talent on Georgia's side, I think Tennessee will come away with the win. Here are five reasons why.

State of Denial: After the Big Leak, Spinning for War
Norman Soloman: And if, these days, "U.S. troops in the field" are not as inclined to express "frustration at having to fight a war without sufficient resources," the latest boosts of Pentagon outlays for war in Afghanistan merely reflect the unhinged escalation of a war effort that should not exist.

David A. Love: I have concluded that any nonreligious organization with such a track record of abuse would have been indicted under the RICO Act a long time ago, for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization.
