I never considered myself or claimed to be a conservative, just a bitterly partisan, frothing right-wing Republican atheist with extreme Zionist leanings.
I would say a triple with three runs batted in, and Democrats badly fielding the ball.
I think Bob Novak is as anti-Israel as Pat Buchanan.
Sir Francis I think your being too kind to Bush. There was nothing conservative about his speech. It was just more BIG government spending and liberal appeasement. For example if he wants to reduce our dependences on Mid East oil, then why not talk about ANWAR and Nuclear power. France has many Nuclear power plants, that produce hydrogen at night during low demand. Nuclear is the safest cleanest Big power producer, solar and corn oil gas is just a drop in the bucket, sort of like collecting soft drink cans to help pay the mortgage.
