These Yo-Yos were actually able to get in two or three senteces. Mostly as a rebuttal for non-refuteable logic.

Kerry looks like a yard of pump water and twice as sour

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

One more thing, I can just vision these true "Neanderthals" in their back yard behind their aligator infested mote and razor wire lined cylone fence, taking a leg bone (of some unmentionable species) to their Pit Bull/Bulls.

The dog gets a hard boot to the head before being allowed eat, as to be let known just who is still the boss!

[Bush2004]

Wow. You said that.

[Bush2004]

What's with all the "visions"? "husbands, clowns"? And then "neandrathals" "gators" "pit bulls", etc...?

Meds.

I suppose Hillary's med plan comes in to save the day.

To me, it's the difference between a "Hugh Hewitt" conservative and a Michael Savage conservative.

Hugh is optimistic, funny, engaged and paragmatic. He uses his platform as a change agent. He makes a real world difference, he travels to his affiliate locations, stumps for GOP candidates, raises money and exposure and makes an investment of time and treasure in his ideology.

Savage is a bigmouthed whiner. He considers his platform a "watchdog" asset. His job is to shout out the injury and outrage. Piss the other malcontents listening off righteously. Cut! Wrap! Then down to the Wharf for dinner.

Anyone who manages any project in life understands that problem identification is an important first step in the process. But it's a FIRST STEP. You then need to move onto solution schemes. The lazy slugs of Savageville, and FR "purityville" don't bother to move past the "This is what's wrong" stage. That's where they live.

[ArneFufkin]

What a clever gadfly you've turned out to be!

[Bush2004]

if annoying Blowhards and Hillary Clinton fans (remember, "world class", "superstar" and "superpor"?) equates to being a "gadly" (bygosh it does!), then . . . well, you ought to know the rest.

[ArneFufkin]

Go away for another six months junior.

[ArneFufkin]

What's your real screen name coward?

[Bush2004]

Where'd you go to high school, punk?

[ArneFufkin]

Pull your pants up from around your ankles and go to bed tough guy.

[Bush2004]

Go watch your Vince McMahon tapes, hoser.

[woodyinscc]

It's natural.

The Brits did this to the man who had the vision and foresight to see the gathering storm, the strength and courage to rally his nation, and the political wisdom to see it through.

Santayana had nothing on you, or you know him well. You have the political landscape up to the 2008 elections pretty well nailed down. The only thing left is who winds up the players.

[thesummerwind]

The first thing I check out on the internet each day is FR. And this is the first post to me that I checked out! Thanks for the laughs!!!! LOL!

Now, do you have any $$$$'s for a new keyboard!!!!?????

Thanks, really. Sharpton has an awful past, but he pulled off his James Brown ('the hardest working man in show business') perfectly......he had the moves!!!

Thanks again!!! LOL! You got my day started off really well!

[ArneFufkin]

Woody, it's almost like Churchill was the "face" of a time when the Brits knew daily fear, grief, suffering, derprivation, loss and uncertainty ... when that reality went away, they didn't want to see ole Winny anymore even though he was integral in making their misery go away.

That's human nature. It's something that COULD happen after Bush 43, but only if the GOP throws a Tomato Can up against a Hillary or reincarnated Gore. I don't think they will.

But, I don't see any upside to not putting Condi at VP and moving Cheney to NSC Director. Have them switch places, without switching places. But Condi needs to spearhead some high profile initiative in the second term to get her the exposure she needs to beat the Hildebeast. Because ... the Hildebeast will be there. She's worked the calculus, she's crunched the numbers and broken down film ... she's going 2008 absent some George W Bush- Howard Dean gay lover sex scandal.

Regarding Mr. Sharpton, a man who provoked a crowd to murder at a store called Freddy's, the man who in most vile and unrepentant fashion libeled a good man, and whole great wave of mind-dead followers piled on that man -- some under color of law and process. Here see!

The murderous provoker is celebrated! The defamer is cheered!

All hail, fellow! Well met!

Those are the wages of the follower, of the back-patter, of the self-defining gang who define themselves by cheering each other on.

So it is by that method, we arrive at a grand public fellow -- a Sharpton, a Clinton.

Unredeemed, unrebuked, uncorrected. A sufferance, a pox on us all.

Think about that mindless cheering, that clubby cheery back-patting, and what is its end effect. By it bad men are raised up, and good men go bad.

Here -- to Arne, to Howiln, to those who want to join a club, a club of bots, whatever ...

The bills passed and signed -- CFR and the MedicAide -- bad bills. Cheer them on and you cheer on a parade of more of that and worse.

You make your clubhouses, you ignore the foundations -- the walls will collapse on you. You build up the club house walls too soon - unlike Mr. Bush is is seven-times sharper than all you all, when you act like that -- you shut out, you divide, you split apart, when you might best be considering the views you don't see. Don't think your view is the only one, that is by being so apt the mock those you disagree with. Ignorance is not bliss.

Mr. Bush is not perfect, no man is. And sucking up ALWAYS amplifies a man's imperfections.

Maybe it's different for women -- I do know it is different -- yet it is not that different. And Mr Bush is a man. A club of giddy go-alongers and bots is his ruination, not his support.

I found the posts on FR so amusing I decided to watch the end of the debate for myself.

My personal reaction was that Koppel was 'snippy' to Dean. None of the candidates made a bit of sense at all. Kook-in-itch is a nutcase and that goes for Braun and Sharpton.

As for Kerry, he seems to be totally out of it.......

[OldFriend]

I suspect jewish voters are more afraid of Dean and his deisgnation of soldiers......when referring to the palestinian terrorists.

[OldFriend]

I don't ever recall any candidate getting the party's endorsement before the primaries are complete. It's simply not done, but then the dems play by their own rules or no rules at all.

I remember back to Truman.........but shhh, don't mention it!
