Not disembowel me? ;-)
I hate operators.
What's an operator?
Don't go there. You'll be attacked as a "dumbass" and an "operator" like I was.
Condi should have been held responsible for 911. She mad some pretty ignorant statements after 911 that made it apparent that she either did not have a clue or tried to make excuses.
Some National Security advisor.
You don't react to anything. You have carried Mr. Leroys bong for months.
In my "humble" opinion .... there is NOTHING you do around here that is positive. (Political judgement).
Oily. Operate. That's it!
Just as it is hugely unlikely that we will see a seriously liberal President in the near future, it is equally unlikely that we will see a true conservative in the White House. Extremes tend to scare most sheaple and the vast majority of American's don't WANT any major changes. They like tweaks - change the tax rate, but just a little; don't socialize medicine, but adding a perscription drug benefit is okay - but sweeping change makes them uneasy.
Democrats know this and have incrementally moved us to the left. Republicans tend to stand on principle and want it all now and say they won't vote for the guy who doesn't agree with them 100%. Thus we will have at best moderate Republicans in the White House.
That's true. I've heard his name floated around as a possible speaker for fundraising events out here 2000 miles away.
If Mike Rogers takes the governorship from Granholm or the empty spot in 2010, he's one to watch later on.
You are intitled to your opinion, but excuse me, if I say you are out of your mind. You signed up today to post this nugget of wisdom? Welcome to FR.!!!
I'm really starting to suspect that you're jealous of my good looks. I honestly do not recall you on any drug threads.
I'd like to see her run for a governor's position (like, California after Slashin' Schwartzenegger) before she went after a higher office.
Also, after reading about Bill Owens, that is someone I could pull the lever for.(well, him and my senatoral hero, Santorum!) Bush, I'd have to think about (especially with the possibility of him being pro-illegals.)
Bruce Willis would need more hair.8-)
