I'm pretty tough on Georgia candidates, but I'm sticking with Ralph Reed, even after re-reading the following:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A32633-2004Nov7.html

Going after Reed for dealings with Jack Abramoff is like going after athletes for using muscle building drugs before those drugs were declared illegal. Ralph Reed has done too much for Republicans, too much for Georgians in particular in helping to elect Gov Sonny Perdue for me to dump him for Cagle.

And to be sure, I re-read the following on Cagle:

Besides, Cagle looks like an angry devil in his tv ads, his eyes glaring, nostrils flaring, at the same time he's telling us what a strong Christian value candidate he is.

This time though it is not just America it is the rest of the world. Madrid, NY and London to name a few is still not enough to shake people of their complacency.

[Mo1]

I'm not sure .. I didn't catch that part

[OldFriend]

No fan of the pflames, but you are wrong about Valerie. She was undercover, out of the country, when Aldrich Ames identified her as an undercover CIA operative.

She had set up scam companies overseas to cover her true activities.

[johnny7]

Tim is insisting that Plame was undercover and that her friends and neighbors did not know where she worked.

Fitz did a door-to-door Q&A with their neighbors just before the Libby indictments came out. THOSE neighbors were the ONLY ones who DIDN'T know. Russert's nothing but a truth-twisting, greaseball Dhimmi operative.

Hey fatboy... how come your b*tch... Andrea Mitchell-Greenspan said ALL OF WASHINGTON KNEW?! They knew 'cause... WILSON TOLD THEM!!

[OldFriend]

Believe I heard Brooks on the radio last week, stating that he was previously a democrat. That sure splains a lot of his ingrained thinking which is left of center.

[Bahbah]

Diplomacy with who??

It's just a magic word for the left. Really what they like to do is have video clips of their important selves getting on big planes to "save" the situation. Then they get told what they will have to give the bad guys in order to obtain the appearance of a success, they give it to them. have video clips of their important selves getting back on the big plane, and declare victory, all the while knowing that they have been taken for a ride and the situation continues to fester.

[Pukin Dog]

You need to understand that this is an area where Newt has almost no parallel among politicians. He is completely correct, and while I am always uncomfortable when Bush is attacked, you need to give him his due. Newt is a fantastic historian. Yeah, he is a media whore, but what politician considering a run for office isn't? Free media is like GOLD. I trust that the administration is going to let Israel have their head, and let the chips fall where they may.

[Fishtalk]

There are a lot of hard, upright, solid, comments I could make but I guess I won't.

All I can say is HEH. A truth is a truth.

[snugs]

The problem with Islamic terrorists is that is is not one country it is an ideology and therefore may destroy you from within.

Therefore countries that harbour, support, train and then send these people out to the western world or worse still recruit fellow Muslims already in the western world have got to be stopped.

Do not fool yourself that these people cannot become worldwide dominant and slowly shut down parts of international trade. Oil is one that jumps into my mind immediately.

[OldFriend]

Even Mara disagreed with Juan. Poor Juan, he'd best be careful he doesn't follow Julian out the door.

[norwaypinesavage]

"Will Russert ever admit on air that Fitzgerald interviewed him via phone and unsworn re Libby and the non-leak?"

I will preface this comment by acknowledging that I am not a Bob Novac Fan. Timmy just got chewed up and spit out by Bob Novac like a wad of cheap chewing gum. Virtually every one of Timmy's talking points was completely eviscerated by Novac. I don't think Timmy will dare to address this topic with a real reporter again.

[Txsleuth]

According to a screeching Jane Harman on Face the Nation, this is all Bush's fault in Israel/Lebanon....because of Bush's policy...and since BUSH didn't go into Lebanon and clean out the Hezbollah..

After Lebanon agreed to get rid of them.

So, according to her...if a country agrees to do something..and doesn't..it is BUSH's (Americas) responsiblity to unilaterally go in and do if FOR them!!!

Her screed was so WRONG..and she is on the House Intelligence Committee...

Oh...and she got her copy of the DNC talking points..saying that the Middle East would be paradise right now if Bush hadn't gone into Iraq.

[OldFriend]

Kristol had the final word, much to Chris Wallace's annoyance IMO.

Kristol remarked ...then why did 9/11 happen?

In response to Juan's silly comment that this Israeli action is making the jihadis angry.

[defconw]

Well the worst thing that could happen is that I would learn a lot.

[Crawdad]

Question for all libs, "Is there one thing that has gone "wrong" on the planet Earth since 2000 that wasn't George Bush's fault?"

[kabar]

Wilson was sent because it was a personal boondoggle, just like his 1999 trip at CIA expense. That is the real story that needs to be told. Wilson used it to further his personal ambitions after the fact. The President's STOU address gave him the opening he was looking for.

[rodguy911]

Newt Gingrich will drive you nuts.

He is so brilliant yet keeps screwing up all the time. To begin with he keeps looking for tacit acceptance of his ideas from all the wrong people! Who in the hell cares what Sen Plugs thinks Newt! Get a grip,find a life! He's a bozo! You are the real thing with real ideas!You don't need tacit approval from any of the rats!

Also he and plugs kept Sunday morning quarter backing the President over and over as if it was so easy to do what GW is trying to do both in Iraq and NK.

Biden's "plan" for Iraq is to do everything that needs to be done in a country that has been run by a dictator for years and years,literally over night! Great strategy Sen. Plugs, but it doesnt work that way.

Biden,who reminds me of the aging leader of an a Metro Sexual biker gang, carefully documents small glitches that happen when trying to run a war, so what,what an idiot!

Both have answers about NK, shoot the missles off the launch pad! that's just great guys,now lets go watch Dora wears Prada!

What do we do when Little Kim sends off one million troops with bookoo bullets and missiles to destroy S. Koreans while they are drinking their lattes and eating bree. Forgot to think about that one didn't you guys. It looks easy to do what GW does but some people just should not try or even apply.

[mware]

Even Mara called him on his nonsense). And his comment that Israel's actions have been ego-related ("this is all about them trying to act 'manly'") could very well be the most brain-dead statement he's ever made. ....no small accomplishment

Maybe it took.

[samantha]

#113, Great post it says it all in a few paragraphs. We are reluctant to go after Iran because of the PC crowd, and the worthless, harping democrats wussies,plus there are so many Young People in Iran that are totally against that Radical Government that controls them we do not want to hurt them with a lot of collateral damage.
