JUST SO!!Thank you! Your brevitity is a delight! We seem to have McCainnanite operatives here.

To IHand&co:
A man, at the cost of his arm, saves your life. He then walks across the street and murders the family next door while they sleep.
Using your statements as a template for judgement we'd give him a testimonial dinner and the Key to the City...

Did I understand you correctly?

...The Arnold comparison is apt. Arnold was wounded at Saratoga... in those day any wound was possibly deadly. A statue was erected to him, and if not for "turning coat" he'd doubtless be remembered as one of our greatest leaders. He's not, and that's because our forefathers weren't touchy-feely brainwashed.

Marvelous post. And, you didn't even scratch the surface of Juan's treachery. I would wish that he were more like the "old soldiers" MacArthur spoke of, and simply fade away.

Thanks for your service, John. Now go.

Sorry Gene. He unfortunately crashed his plane for the umpteenth time in Vietnam. The rest of his crashes were states side I believe.

Fortunately or not he survived because the enemy picked him up and put him in a prison where yes he was brutalised.

That in no way makes him any better than anyone here. And it damned sure doesn't automatically make him qualified to lead the nation.

He is a two faced lying backstabbing POS. He stood on the side of the dixie chicks against the record companies when they refused to play their songs for Gods sake and he did it to get favor from liberals.

He will screw us again, mark my words. He will align with the dems in order to curry favor from the media, and when he does he is a traitor to at least half the country. JMO

We are on life support and the current confirmation hearings aren't helping. We, conservatives, built up the pubbie party from the 1964 time frame to the 2004 time frame. We had majorities in both houses and the held the executive. And what happened, we managed to get two good supreme court justices and a few mid level justices and that is pretty much it. The "moderate pubbies" took our money and our help and just when we were ready to turn the tide, they sided with the enemies of America, knifed us in the back and left us bleeding on the floor. And they meant to do so. Even today Lindsy sided with the DIMs.

I have been a pubbie since 1964 and a voting pubbie since 1972. I have never voted for a DIM and never missed an election except when I was on patrol in my sub. I contributed in good times and bad...oh well many of us know the drill. I could spit nails at the pubbie "leadership". And I will tell you this, the way they are going we will be lucky have 20 senators and 100 congressmen before they are through. And don't tell me I need to get involved, the pubbies don't ask for my input nor listen to it when I volunteer it. They do however want my money. And should they start fighting for what I believe in, maybe just maybe I'll send them some till then all requests will be circular filed.

I know. I was based in Spain when Reagan was in office. You've been to other places. A buddy and I made it a point to travel as far and wide as possible while we were there. All over, women, just people we met on the trains were interested in a conversation with us. Now the place is going to hell with the muslims.

And the DOD sent out a warning today that Mexico is getting close to a total government collapse. You know why. This means tanks on the border and AC-130s burning down everything about a mile into Mexico. TJ had 40 murders in 2 days about 10 days ago. 250 miles from here.

We have big problems coming and if the GOP doesn't realize this and stand up, those problems could end up into fallout flying around the middle east too.

Yes we do have big problems and I don't believe the vast majority gets it. The GOP thinks it is doing what it needs to do to survive but I believe they are incredibly wrong. I wonder which city(s) or state(s) will be the first lost to CBW / nuclear weapons. Or maybe civil war.
