thanks for the recaps .. Seems that NBC and ABC think the bike race and tennis are more important to watch

[defconw]

What annoyed me is Wallace tried to make it look like he was saving Liddy from another law suit! Looks like Chris was trying to cya is own! Liddy is not afraid of anybody!

[CasearianDaoist]

I think that you have hit on the central issue of the current struggles in DC. Did the Left just get the hustle wrong the last four years or are the American people finally seeing their cons for what they are?

Do not know the answer, but the GOP should not get complacent. They should be pointing all of this out.

[rodguy911]

I know Rush and Hannity are big Timmy fans but not me. Maybe what you say is correct, but when I see the party chair of a party that has helped change America get hammered as hard as he did, it never sits well with me. No matter what the excuse.

Like you say though Mehlman was more than up to the task and represented Pubbies everywhere well.

TOM DELAY ON C-SPAN ONE

[Christian4Bush]

Whooops. The correct spelling is "Schulz," not "Schultz," as in "I know nothing!" fame. You can see the confusion.

And the similarity...since they both know nothing...

[Morgan in Denver]

As with other proposals, here as well as there, these things rarely die. They have to be killed, and then stomped further underground to keep them from being resurrected. What I'm seeing now is various EU leaders want to move without citizen approval. That's a great way to alienate voters.

[rodguy911]

Whoaaa law dude, now don't hold back!!

[alnick]

I laughed at Alan the other night on H&C. The impeachment topic came up and he wanted to know what dim would do that.

And typical of Alan Colmes, when Kerry brings it up next week and the democrat party tries to gin up a case to impeach the president, Alan will forget that he was incredulous that "mainstream" democrats would do that and he'll defend it till the cows come home.

That man will defend anything.

[CasearianDaoist]

yes, just so. thanks for the input - I bet your gut is right. It just seems sound to me.

I missed the amnesty guy interview, but wish Chris had saved a little torture for that creep Ben Veniste.

Cannot abide that man. And Liddy was good but allowed to say almost nothing. Ben got 3 times the air time. I was disappointed in that interview.

[snugs]

Thanks for your confirmation sometimes when you too near it is difficult to see the wood for the trees especially after 8 years of Blair and his Labour Government.

[altura]

Kerry is making a fool of himself --- again.

Could the dems possible create -- say in a laboratory -- two more pathetic loser ex-candidates than Kerry and Gore?

[Just A Nobody]

Thanks - I had turned off tv. I love DeLay.

[rodguy911]

I hope movers and shakers from the GOP are reading your posts today, you have had some excellent stuff!

[defconw]

Me too, We probably have missed most of it! But I will take it!

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Too bad that because Nixon failed to uphold the law,
we are still stuck with Hanoi Jane and Hanoi Kerry.

If Nixon hadn't caved into the minority anti-war crowd
and listened to the Silent Majority
Hanoi Jane AND Hanoi Kerry
would have been prosecuted for their treason in the 70's,
while Nixon was still President.

Keep in mind that Nixon was directly involved in Viet Nam,
as Vice President, going back to at least 1955.

So Hanoi Jane AND Hanoi Kerry keep a high profile,
and always watch your yellow backs.
Nixon is NOT HERE to protect you.
You are on your own.

About Vietnam

The Vietnam war was the longest in our nation's history.
1st American advisor was killed on June 08, 1956,
and the last casualties in connection with the war occurred on May 15, 1975, during the Mayaquez incident. Approximately 2.7 million Americans served in the war zone; 300,000 were wounded and approximately 75,000 permanently disabled. Officially there are still 1,991 Americans unaccounted for from SE Asia.

Vietnam was a savage, in your face war where death could and did strike from anywhere with absolutely no warning. The brave young men and women who fought that war paid an awful price of blood, pain and suffering. As it is said: "ALL GAVE SOME ... SOME GAVE ALL"
The Vietnam war was not lost on the battlefield. No American force in ANY other conflict fought with more determination or sheer courage than the Vietnam Veteran.  For the first time in our history America sent it's young men and women into a war run by inept politicians who had no grasp of military strategies and no moral will to win. They were led by "top brass" who were concerned mainly with furthering their own careers, most neither understood the nature of the war nor had a clue about the impossible mission with which they'd tasked their soldiers.  And the war was reported by a self serving Media who penned stories filled with inaccuracies, deliberate omissions, biased presentations and blatant distorted interpretations because they were more interested in a story than the truth! It can be debated that we should never have fought that war. It can also be argued that the young Americans who fought so courageously, never losing a single major battle, helped in a huge way to WIN THE COLD WAR.

[Bahbah]

Hah hah. Steffy asks Biden what we can do to speed up training of Iraqis. Biden says it's going fine but it didn't start soon enough. Here is news for Biden: YOU WILL NOT BE PRESIDENT. YOU ARE A LOON.

[CasearianDaoist]

Well given the margins of the last elections, the Tories have a chance to make a real issue of this. They just lack some leadership at the moment. I surely hope that our dear and noble British cousins do not give up their ancient rights, freedoms and dignities. That would be too much to bear.
