"It is one thing for individual family members to invoke the memory of all 3,000 victims as they take to the microphone or podium to show respect for our collective loss. It is another for them to attempt to stifle the debate over the future direction of our country by declaring that the images of 9/11 should be off-limits in the presidential race, and to do so under the rubric of "The Families of Sept. 11." They do not represent me. Nor do they represent those Americans who feel that Sept. 11 was a defining moment in the history of our country and who want to know how the current or future occupant of the Oval Office views the lessons of that day."

Naww, that'd be Uncle Philip, the cigarette-maker!!

Hours, not mileage, huh.
Looks like I *outed* myself, then.
It's true, *I'm* a greenhorn. {g}
>What'd you use before the New Holland?
"I used to use an old Soviet built 27HP Belarus 250AS tractor, but the clutch died with only 425 hrs on the clock. Cant get it economically repaired (more than the tractor is worth), so I retired it."
Let's hope "Belarus" isn't affiliated with the same outfit that builds their nuclear subs.
"I can't give it away, so it's a lawn ornament now. I didn't pay anything for it, it came with the property."
HA!!
And the front end bucket makes a hell of a *planter*, I'd bet.
>...that's an expensive piece of machinery ya got there.
"Didn't cost any more than my wifes new car. LOL!"
Uh-huh, except aren'tcha leaving something out?
...she's driving either a Humvee *or* Cad XLR, right? {g}
"But that seems to be what Tides and its dozens of its related organizations are about: money, a flagrant disregard for the truth, and even disdain for the law. So, in the end, we don't really have heartfelt outrage by a few victims' family members, we have a concerted, coordinated political campaign, cloaked in a shroud of mourning, waging war against George W. Bush in his bid for reelection. I think we all should be completely outraged as the Democrat's use of this tactic as one of the lowest, most vile examples of disgraceful political gamesmanship in modern history. Now all the pieces are coming together. You see, as these "outraged" family members were touring the airwaves, there was a peculiar familiary to their comments. Despite being on numerous different media outlets in different cities at different time, most of them repeated the same four or fives lines - VERBATIM. The Democrat talking points certainly found their way to the fax machines last night, didn't they?"
Like we couldn't see THIS coming...MUD
"House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, criticized by some conservatives for toeing the White House line too often over the past three years, is about to announce his own legislative agenda. "I have not discussed this with President Bush or anyone else in the White House, and have no desire to," Mr. DeLay told The Washington Times in an interview in his majority leader's office. "But if you don't set these conservative goals, you don't get conservative governance." On Wednesday, Mr. DeLay will take the extraordinary step of introducing his own set of legislative and policy goals, for this year and beyond. He said that while he was still working on the specifics, his proposed initiatives "will cover three basic issues: security, prosperity and family."
"We're trying to get people excited about being Republicans again," the Texan said. One goal, he said, will be to re-establish what he sees as the rightful role of religion in public places, so that Christian, Jewish or Muslim symbols could not be barred from holiday displays in front of town halls. Mr. DeLay said he will call for a doubling of the nation's economic output within 10 to 15 years, a goal which he says can only be met by cutting taxes, reining in government spending and reducing regulation.
That there's MUSIC to my ears!!
"What Tom's doing is pretty refreshing," said Rep. Mike Pence, Indiana Republican. "The White House normally sets the agenda." Mr. DeLay, first elected to the House 20 years ago, was a favorite of conservatives until he began taking flak for pushing some presidential initiatives that were anathema to many grass-roots Republicans, such as Medicare prescription-drug legislation. "Tom's practice has been to defer to the president in his first term," said Mr. Pence. "And that's really been reflected in the leadership's policy in Congress."
When the same party controls the White House and Congress, the normal way of doing business is for the House speaker and the Senate majority leader to huddle with the president over a legislative agenda before presenting it publicly. Mr. DeLay, in effect declaring his independence, said he plans to present his package of goals and initiatives for the first time to House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert and the other 226 Republican House members at a closed-door meeting of the House Republican Conference. Mr. DeLay said he had not discussed the specifics of his package with the speaker but has told him about the broad outlines. Although Mr. Hastert can veto any part of the DeLay plan, he is not expected to, given that the Illinois Republican has one of the most consistently conservative voting records in the House.
Word of the DeLay plan generally met with approval from other House Republicans, especially those who disagreed with Mr. Bush's recent immigration-reform proposal. "This will reaffirm Tom's leadership as a conservative," said Rep. Todd Tiahrt, Kansas Republican. Mr. Pence said Mr. DeLay's introducing his own agenda "signals the dynamics of the president's second term, hopefully very different." The first hint of Mr. DeLay's agenda came in a speech he delivered last month at a private retreat for Republican legislators in Philadelphia. Some fellow Republicans who heard that speech said it sounded like an updated version of the "Contract with America" that Newt Gingrich introduced before the 1994 elections. Widely credited with having helped spur the Republican takeover of the House for the first time in 40 years, the Contract with America also boosted Mr. Gingrich from minority whip to House speaker. But a Democrat, Bill Clinton, was president when Mr. Gingrich devised his Contract.
Even some fellow Republican House members who have occasionally disagreed with Mr. DeLay nonetheless defend his overall job performance as majority leader. They point out that the job of even a conservative leader at times requires making compromises either out of loyalty to the president or the need to win the votes of liberal Republicans in the House. "He has been steering the art of the possible," said Rep. Joe Wilson, South Carolina Republican. Making compromises on basic core principles is a more serious matter for conservative House members and their supporters. Even though Mr. Wilson is an assistant House whip, for example, he felt compelled to ask Mr. DeLay and Majority Whip Roy Blunt to be excused from counting votes on a free-trade bill that Mr. Wilson opposed.
For his part, Mr. DeLay has not always carried water for the Bush White House. He made his own stand on principle, his supporters noted, when he opposed parts of Mr. Bush's proposal to grant guest-worker status to illegal immigrants and voted against the president's "No Child Left Behind" legislation that expanded the federal role in education."
This could be EXACTLY what the Republicans--and Dubyuh--need right now...MUD
Great! I'm glad that you will be voting for President Bush next November.
A little more conservatism to go with his huge dose of compassion...MUD

"The catastrophe that struck America was the result of a decade of military cuts and the undermining of U.S. intelligence agencies, Admiral Thomas H. Moorer told NewsMax.com. Admiral Moorer served as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the nation’s highest-ranking military official, and brought the Vietnam war to a conclusion. He has served in three major wars.
Yesterday’s [9/11/01] events brought back memories of Pearl Harbor, he said. Admiral Moorer, then a naval aviator, was present at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Admiral Moorer made the following analysis to NewsMax, his quotes are in bold:
1. The Clinton administration had a similar view to intelligence agencies as the Carter administration. They didn’t like using spies. This is why we had no warning. "You absolutely need spies, you need them to melt into a society and tell you what is going on, you can’t rely on satellites and technology alone.”
2. The actions taken yesterday were the result of perceived weakness of U.S. armed forces. "President Clinton brought the military down and down. He made the military like it was before Pearl Harbor.”
3. The U.S. must significantly increase its use of human intelligence, that is spies on the ground in foreign countries.
4. America must remain vigilant. "This is like what Yamamoto said after Pearl Harbor, ‘A sleeping tiger has been aroused.’ We can’t just strike back and go back to sleep. Next time the attack could be even more serious.”
5. Soon terrorist groups will have access to nuclear weapons. "This is inevitable. Countries like Russia and China are providing countries like Pakistan, Iraq and Iran with this technology – the same technology Clinton gave to the Chinese.”
6. Missile defense is needed now. "The media is dead wrong when it says this proves we don’t need missile defense. Soon, the same countries that supported these terrorists that just attacked us will have missiles capable of hitting the U.S. We need to defend against their use.”
7. No additional attacks for the immediate future. ”I believe they reached the limits of their capabilities with these attacks. But they will try again later. They want nuclear weapons."
Blast from the past...MUD
"President Bush is accusing John Kerry of having proposed big cuts in intelligence spending just two years after the first attack on the World Trade Center, part of a re-election effort to depict his Democratic rival as weak on national security and the war against terrorism. Bush...planned to call attention to a 1995 bill that Kerry sponsored to trim intelligence spending by $1.5 billion over five years. The cut was part of what Kerry called a "budget-buster bill" to strip $90 billion from the budget and end 40 programs that he said were "pointless, wasteful, antiquated or just plain silly." Kerry's proposal, which followed the collapse of the Soviet Union and calls for a peace dividend after decades of spending to thwart the Cold War opponent, failed to attract any co-sponsors and did not come up for a vote."
Kerry's the Leftist of the Leftists...MUD
"John Kerry called terrorist leader Yasser Arafat a "role model" and a "statesman" in a 1997 book "that Kerry cites as proof of his own foresight about foreign policy," the New York Post's Deborah Orin revealed today. Kerry's latest flip-flop: He "expressed the opposite view eight days ago, when he told Jewish leaders in New York that he shares President Bush's belief that Arafat must be isolated because he's not a 'partner for peace' - much less a statesman." In his book "The New War," which like his scandalous 1971 book, "The New Soldier," is out of print, Kerry claimed: "Terrorist organizations with specific political agendas may be encouraged and emboldened by Yasser Arafat's transformation from outlaw to statesman."
