Good post. Sadly, though, about 42% of Americans support the democrats regardless of the issues they really stand for. Do you think this percentage is likey to change, and if so, in what direction?
Keeping in mind that Madame Cleaning Lady stated that she didn't want America to be the 'only' superpower.
Slick Willie is of the same mind.
TRAITORS
Okay, Dave. Will check it out.
No one could ever convince me Foster offed himself.
I followed each breaking tidbit on that story.
The pieces didn't fit.
"That's not much different than Rep. Shadegg (R-AZ), seeking Delay's old position, said of his competitors: Yeah, I took, but I didn't take as much as they did."

Shadegg isn't on the list, so it appears he didn't get any.
Shadegg also has some good ratings from various Conservative sources:
House candidates' ratings
The Washington Times ^ | January 28,2006 | The Washington Times - Editoria
Posted on 01/28/2006 9:07:14 AM PST by Seattle Conservative
The editorial page of The Washington Times has reviewed the interest-group and ideological ratings and rankings of the three Republican House members -- John Boehner of Ohio (first elected in 1990), John Shadegg of Arizona (1994) and Roy Blunt of Missouri (1996) -- seeking the post of House majority leader, which Tom DeLay permanently vacated recently.
>snip
Mr. Shadegg, who has compiled five 100% ratings in 10 years from the American Conservative Union (ACU), has a lifetime ACU rating of 97.6. With four 100% ratings over 14 years, Mr. Boehner's lifetime ACU rating is 93.4. Mr. Blunt, who has received two 100% ratings from the ACU in eight years, has a lifetime rating of 92.9. Over the latest three years (2002-2004), the average annual ACU scores have been: 98.7, Shadegg; 94.7, Blunt; and 90.7, Boehner.
>snip
The National Taxpayers Union (NTU), whose mission is the pursuit of limited government and low taxes, has issued a "fiscal snapshot" for the leader's race. For 2004, NTU gave Mr. Shadegg an A, Mr. Blunt a B and Mr. Boehner a B+. NTU reports the following "lifetime percentage of A ratings": Shadegg, 90%; Boehner, 14%; Blunt, 0%.
>snip
On the liberal end of the ideological continuum, Americans for Democratic Action (ADA), which selects 20 key votes each year, reports that none of the three candidates supported an ADA position in 2005, 2004 or 2002.
>snip
The candidates' lifetime AFL-CIO ratings are: Blunt, 9.5%; Boehner, 3.6; and Shadegg, 2.5. Their lifetime ratings from the ACLU are: Shadegg, 14.2%; Blunt, 12.2; and Boehner, 8.9.

In addition,
National Journal derives composite conservative and liberal scores. In 2004, Mr. Shadegg's composite conservative score was 94.5, compared to 85.5 for Mr. Boehner and 80.3 for Mr. Blunt. On the other hand, Mr. Blunt, who achieved a perfect composite conservative score in 2002, recorded a composite conservative score of 90.3 in 2003, compared to 87 for Mr. Boehner and 74.8 for Mr. Shadegg.

I didn't see it that way. GWB seemed thoughtful and well spoken. His answers were straight forward. What did you find distressing other than his Bill Clinton comments?
Never heard THAT one. Why Sandy Hume?
Is it that bad, not watching?
Just dawned on me. IF the Republican sin is taking Abramoff money directly, what should Democrats do about George Soros money they've been taking for years now? Give it back? Fat chance.
They are constantly proving their lack of intellectual honesty.
They conveniently forget that for eight years they were excoriating the first President Bush for not going all the way to Baghdad.
Stop it. Are you kidding? Im going there right now.
thank you Tonk
"Also I learned this week, forget where, that GW had begged the NYT not to run the story on how we intercepted terrorist calls,he even brought nyt execs up to the oval office, and they ran it anyway. Shortly thereafter we got fewer and fewer intel. NYT should be tried as the traitors that they are."
I've rean the same thing. Rather exceptional IMHO for the President to call 2 execs of a news organization into the oval office and ask them not to run a story due to nat'l sec. It's also interesting that they held it for 1 year and released it right before Risen's book on the subject came out. They should all be tried for treason!
Absolutely strange that this argument is not used more or do the Republicans fear this will not be viewed favorably by the public.
Did Madam Cleaning Lady's family EVER return the Nazi stolen artwork belonging to a Jewish family?
Well, I don't know what you watched on the web site, but it just concluded here half an hour ago and what I saw was pretty good. Fair questions, no badgering, and the President was animated and didn't do much stammering.
