Ditka could carry Pennsylvania for Bush just with a few campaign stops betweeen the two.

Let's see we got GW at quarterback, Cheney as head coach, Arnold at center and Ditka as running back--I'll take that squad any ol' Sunday. And on the other side it's an all Metro squad.

Not only that, but he's also a reformed alleged crack smoker.

Let's see... the rats candidates include lots of druggies, lawyers, and womanizers--sounds like a formula for success in their party.

Yes, he still will have a bright future in the party of the 4 L's: Liars, Liberals, Leftists and Lawyers.

I love being a member of the Republican Party.

They got Obama - we got Ditka
They got Whoopi - we got Condi
They got McGreevey - we got Arnold

They got Kerry - we got President George W Bush

Didn't Harold Ford speak at the last convention? (not that I was paying any attention to it)

Don't forget we've also got Tom DeLay on defense

Harold Ford scares me, he almost gives the rats some credibility, kind of a black bubba lite.

how do you know his political views? i've been searching for his stance on abortion, military. i'd assume he's pro-biz since he owns restaurants and opposes the smoking bans.
any sources for this? i'm hoping you are right.

Ditka will rock and roll. Hopefully testosterone will be appreciated even in Illinois.

Some of us in Illinois love testosterone! :-)

Don't recall..he might have had a minor role..he was pretty new back then..that's why Obama's choice is such a surprise..

QUOTE OF THE DAY

From interview yesterday morning between reporter Darlene Hill and Mike Ditka on Chicago Fox WFLD:

DH: ...If you decide to run, what would be your platform?

DITKA: Well my platform would be what the people want. I hate to say that, that sounds so generic, but what do people want? You talk about banning smoking. Okay, why don't we ban abortion? Let's talk about things that are really important. You know you talk about, well, you think one thing can harm your health, the other one takes a life.

Come on here, you know you're talking to a guy that is ultra-ultra-ultra conservative. So you know people who don't like that, you won't like me one bit. But I think I'm about what the majority of this people in the country are. I believe this country was founded under God. I think people who say it wasn't are crazy. But that's their biz; you know, that's me.

What you see is what you're gonna get. You're not going to like all of it. But you're gonna like some of it, and maybe you'll like enough of it to say okay this guy is all right.
