Every third person on each list was required to be a woman.

So they will end up with between 25 - 30 or so.

I was just dozing off to sleep (with my TV on) when Jackson and Hamlin were on Fox. Glad I missed what he said.

Democracy is the best way to undermine Mohammedanism.

That's it in a nutshell. Islam is anti-free thought, anti-self determination and anti-democratic. The only thing that can push aside Islam is freedom.

On the other side of the coin, the biggest threat to America is what is converse to everything America stands for. Islam.

Forget the "weapons of mass destruction" BS as the supposed reason for going to Iraq (it was agood reason). We are now seeing why we should have been in Iraq . The seed of democracy has been brought to the oppressed peoples of Iraq. And the whole middle east. This in America's national interest from a security standapoint, an economic standpoint and a moral standpoint.

Bush is right. Being free and being able to do what you want is much better than being under the thumb of a dictator. (Or a "religion").

Yes, they certainly showed the face of courage to tyranny.

Jonah Goldberg over at National Review made the point that the Iraqis needed a victory that they could claim as thier own in all this.
I think they have it.

"Just a note to those who occasionally post with anger or hate against anyone who is Muslim. The vast majority of the people we are praiseing for going out and claiming their freedom by risking their lives -- are Muslim (even the Kurds). Thus, our task has to be to sort out the Muslims we can work with from those who are our enemies -- not to condemn all Muslims."


Ditto! That's a sentiment I've been wanting to express for a very long time.

Thanks!

I keep watching this (I was up until nearly three AM EST) and one thought just keeps running through my head...

Bless these courageous souls, I hope to live to see the day...and I can't help but to think that maybe, just maybe, this President's freedom-loving, Texas-sized heart will turn and face South one day.

VIVA CUBA LIBRE!

Nuestro dia ya viene llegando.

Yes, I figure about 2 weeks to get the final results.

I was only wondering if exit polls were showing any major trends yet

First of all, I don't even know why Fox had him on: he's made himself a laughing stock and irrelevant.

Secondly, what he had to say was absurd and preposterous.

Thirdly, to put him on to counter the kidnappee was insulting.

The psychological power of this election will be amazing.

We have just given the greatest gift one man can give another. There is no selfless act more divine than giving ones life for another mans freedom. God is smiling, and proud of us today. The fallen soldiers that have given everything so that this gift is possible are being greeted with open arms as they pass through heavens gate for there is a special place reserved for their arrival.
