Kerry is only following where the Bush supporters lead. HAH! This stuff gets good sometimes. Just another example of how stupid the left thinks we are. Let 'em think. Cheers, Daiwa
Well, TW, it wasn't the " 1,000th " death, and therefore lacked the melodramatic symbolism that blogic so embraces. The left is all about symbolism as opposed to reality, so that makes perfect sense. Cheers, Daiwa
My partner had a good response to the original quote: "And Kerry's tying up all the proctologists around the country trying to get his head out of his ass." Cheers, Daiwa
CrispE - I definitely hear ya on the troops issue; it's a valid point. I don't particularly like it, but there's no getting "there" from "here" without this phase, however. At some point, we'd be in this situation no matter what - only a matter of when, not if - so we've got to figure out how to get the job done and doing it sooner than later is OK by me. We can't risk being viewed by the Iraqis as just another thug subbing for Sadd
Finally!! Someone made funna ole' GWB! I was worried there for awhile, Sandy. Thanks for comin' through. Cheers, Daiwa
You have a certain swagger there, evilPidge... oh, I forgot, that's jes walkin' . Well done. Cheers, Daiwa
Did you by chance read that Will article, Catechumen? If not, please do & see if it influences your thinking at all. I'm sure you could Google to it. There are always valid points on either side of an argument, but I think he makes a good case for the EC. One of the ancillary points he makes goes like this: Suppose Kerry actually wins Colorado by 5% of the vote - under existing law he would win all 9 electoral votes; if they pass this "pop
Oh, come on, blogic - stop tiptoeing around the subject and come right out with your real feelings! Kerry himself said "If you wind up being less than what you're pretending to be, there is a major confrontation with value, self-esteem and your sense of how others view you" regarding the same action (claiming a Silver St
Bush to provide lip service on this issue Sorry, couldn't resist. Kerry, speaking in Ann Arbor: "I'm all about Buckeye Football!" I'm paraphrasing, but he said as much. So, they can both give Jay & Dave material - what's your point? Cheers, Daiwa
CrispE - On this particular subject, I couldn't agree with you more in the general sense, but I agree with Madine that since the handover of sovereignty, it has indeed been the Iraqi govenment's call. I think the Iraqi government made a mistake in letting Al Sadr's thugs disperse, but from their point of view, having the moderate clerics' support of the government may have been more important in the long haul. Having said that, I sti
blogic - What are you? A writer for a soap opera? Spinning the War to Turn Brother Against Brother? What melodramatic crap. OK, sorry, it is your blog. Bush may not be Churchill. But then Kerry may not be Neville Chamberlain, either. And the constant hitting on the "Mission Accomplished photo-op" grates on me. Their mission was indeed accomplished, it was Tommy Franks's idea (he has publicly acknow
Except, well, his "unaffiliated supporters" weren't supporting him until he emerged as front runner from the primaries. Correct. They could give a rip who their candidate is/was. But to suggest that that matters is silly. The left has known who the Republican candidate was going to be for 3 and a hal
And your point would be? It boggles the mind to see how blind the left is to what Kerry & his "unaffiliated supporters" have been doing for the past year. This is getting really old, and it's not working. Cheers, Daiwa
On a side note, there's a ballot issue in Colorado that would divide the state's electoral votes proportionally to the candidates based on how much of the popular vote they garnered (and it's retroactive to THIS election if it passes). Which may demonstrate the wisdom of our founders in devising the Col
Uh, Gid? Hello, Gid? Shall I post the retraction for you? Cheers, Daiwa
On the other hand, Cuba was attacked by the U.S. (Bay of Pigs, remember?) Well, not exactly. CIA helped train & the Air Force was supposed to provide air cover & didn't, but the guys hung out to dry on the beach were virtually all Cubans. Castro may have had noble beginnings, but he's been just anothe
I'd recommend reviewing George Will's piece in Newsweek on the Electoral College from 2-3 weeks ago - worth taking a look at and makes a pretty good case for the wisdom of the Electoral Collage, especially the all-or-none nature of the individual state votes. Cheers, Daiwa
Oh, and, I forgot to thank you for going to the trouble of finding those references, despite my disagreement with your conclusions based on them, Gideon - meant to do that. Cheers, Daiwa
Gideon - You've usually got your head screwed on straight and I like most of what I hear from you, but you must have a bad head cold or something. You quite specifically wrote that Rush accused Clinton of murdering Vince Foster and Ron Brown. Emphasis is obviously mine. When asked for evidence to back this up, this is what you offer: <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb
Your stuff is good, Gideon. Keep it coming. Cheers, Daiwa
He must have figured, "Well, the sax thing seemed to work for Clinton, so I'll give the axe a go." I'm glad we can poke some fun at our candidates without getting all lathered up. Now, come on, you Dems, get with it & start poking some fun at GWB. Let's go... what are you waiting for? Cheers, Daiwa
http://www.commondreams.org/views03/0316-08.htm HAH! What a load of crap! So THAT's where MoveOn got the idea. Those plagiarizin' bastuds. Cheers, Daiwa
"FREEDOM'S END" Yikes, this apocalyptic crap cracks me up. Cheers, Daiwa
russellmz2 - Did you LISTEN to his speech? what does a keynote speaker do? isn't he supposed to set the tone and express their ideals at a convention? Get over it. I don't believe there is a regulation or law anywhere proscribing the tone or content of a keynote speech, and the latt
Eswiv - I apparently failed to make my point clear. I have no problem with them having and expressing opinions and "standing up" for what they believe in, left or right. I encourage them to vote and to share their views with whoever. The issue is access to a mass media podium, which is not easy to come by, being considered their prerogative and handed to them on a silver platter by our celebrity-based media machine. There is no inherent po
