I, respectfully, have to disagree that Liberman would be benefit to our party, as Sec. of Def., or any other high office within our party.
One only has to go back to the gore/ Liberman run for office. Liberman gave up all his beliefs and honesty to be part of that team. He lost a lot of respect from people on the right and I'm sure some self respect with that move to get power, at all costs.
All those willing to follow Nancy into battle take one step forward.
Kristol, for all his smarts, is thoroughly unlikeable and untrustworthy. He never speaks or writes candidly, but always with a hidden agenda.
I am so glad that I did not see that.. you come to start depending on the people that you thought were reasonable.
I thought that President Bush's speech was great today.
That is so untrue and pathetic. Most people who heard the speech were rallied and touched by it. The Rats are the ones digging a hole they can't get out of.
LOL, I don't know if you are old enough, but there used to be an old cartoon named "Droopy", the voice over sounded just like Liberman.

What makes me sick about O'Reilly is.... he brags on his radio show that he isn't going to watch the speech because he is TOO BUSY...and it (the speech) doesn't matter anyway...
But, I know I have heard that idiot complain on his show that President Bush hasn't talked to the "folks" enough...feh!!!
The speech was terrific...and I am sick to death of all media, except Brit Hume...
BTW..Brit said on his show tonight...that NONE of the newspapers...and only 2 major news networks even mentioned Joe Lieberman's take on Iraq...even though they gave a LOT of space for MURTHA'S take on Iraq...
1] borders--it is more than just border security, it is national sovereignty. If Bush wants the 15 million illegal aliens to stay, then the requirements should include (a) no welfare or immediate deportation, and (b) have to take classes to learn the English language and (c) have to take classes on American history and (d) for those in the right age group, mandatory 2-yar service into the military. For the borders, build the wall and put armed Army troops guarding our border(s).
2] Syria and Iran--you can fight a war in other ways than troops fighting common foot soldiers and thugs. You wage FINANCIAL warfare and political warfare. You cut off charity. You cut off charity to any nation that gives aid to Syria or Iran. You cut off indirect charity (e.g. IMF funding and World Bank funding). You use air attacks and make progessively more damagiing attacks against each nation and after each daily raid, demand an end to the building of IEDs and the funneling of thugs into Iraq and all other acts of war or the next day's raid will be worse--and then carry out the threat.
One definition of war is: A concerted effort or campaign to combat or put an end to something considered injurious
Bush is not waging war against two nations waging war against us--Syria and Iran.
3] stratospheric social welfare spending ...................... simple. You stop all increases in these programs or keep the increase to the rate of inflation and you end many of the overlapping programs. You take back the funding to the year 2000 level before Bush started these massive 100 and 200% plus increases for these programs.
There is a LOT that can be done. Bush is doing none of it.
All of your ideas are GREAT...and I would vote for you in a second....but, in order for YOU to get those things accomplished...
We would have to elect a whole new Congres...because all of those things are legislated...which means, unless he has to VETO everybill...(which is what is might take, I agree)...you wouldn't get it done..
I hear from conservative Congresscritters that when the immigration reform comes to them....it will be on par with the fight over abortion..it will be so politically charged.
It should be fun....let's you and I watch together...okay??
Thanks for the post..
She is a typical liberal who wants to strip you of your money to use to buy votes so she can stay in office and literally steal from the taxpayers..

Well this is true for sure. As well as her vinyards. She is riding the radical left horse which is STUPID. She will not last. I have had the misfortune of hearing her speak, and she is an empty, socialist loser politically, but so are most of the Dems -- as you say their objective is anything but working for the people. She, like the rest of the socialists in California see the taxpaying public as their USEFUL IDIOTS. Even Feinstein is also into big-time business, via her hubby -- they are invested heavily in Commie China, which fits their politics. Between the three leftist females in Calif, not one of them has ever said for done anything that reflects anything politically intelligent and substantive.
What greater proof is there that the MSM is not just the voice of the lying DemocRATS, it itself has become the opposition party to the Republicans.
The White House can trumpet its positive accomplishments all day long, but if CBS et al does not want to tell the idiots who get their "news at 10" about it, then it never happened, did it?
Death to old media. The sooner the better.
Reminds me of a coworker who complained that Bush never laid out his reasoning for the war. So I began to quiz her, had she heard this speech or that? See this article or that? No. Finally asked her where she got her news.
She said whatever she felt like reading in the WashPost while riding the train in the morning. That was it.
Bush had just given a major policy speech and she had no clue it had even occurred. I'm surprised she even knew we were at war!
You are so right on O'Reilly. What a blowhard.
That said, I wish Bush would get out like he was campaigning and make a speech like this about once a week. He can draw large crowds. They pass the word and the energy.
I hear that he is supposed to really start giving speeches...and that is good...he is a much better communicator than most give him credit for, IMHO.
I FEAR that too many voting Americans are like your friend, that doesn't really listen to the news...just looks at headlines...scary, isn't it?
From your mouth to God's ears.
I know some of the speeches will coincide with fundraisers for Congresscritters...IF the Congresscritters don't turn him down...thinking that President Bush would HURT them...
Anybody who thinks Bush' presence will hurt them is seriously out of touch with the prevailing attitude.
The LSM keeps coming up with polls they think show Bush is sunk, but he's got a deep reservoir of love and confidence built up with the American people that won't be shaken by some bumps in the road.
Especially when people start thinking about the alternative.
Ping for a later read.
