Army plans to run and picks the wrong people to criticize, I'm not a fan of Dobson, but Army has slid down the slope has become a progressive. He has just come out of where he has been hiding, I haven't herd him comment on any issues, I guess silence is golden.

Is Armey permitting himself to be a useful idiot for the opponents of the Christian right?

Just because you religious zealots have to be led around my the noise doesnt mean that everyone else has someone else thinking for them.

[Pelham]

You had that for much of the country's history when there was a social consensus. Among other gifts the 60s left us with a culture war. Progressives using the Supreme Court to force their mores on the whole country spawned attempts by both sides to use the government to their own ends.

[dinoparty]

When is your tee time? After cocktails?

[Dave S]

That is not what an retired FBI agent I know that worked in DC told me.

I dont even think Army was married.

[Pelham]

No surprise. Hannity's 'conservatism' often sounds more like Javits, Percy and Rockefeller than Barry Goldwater, so Giuliani would fit.

[OldArmy52]

Reasonable point of view for anyone unaware of all the details of the T.S. situation.

Unreasonable point of view for an informed person, besides human monsters.

[MineralMan]

No rant. You said that Armey had been having extra-marital sex. It's up to you to provide the evidence of that, don't you think?

[AmericaUnite]

I just unsubscribed from his FreedomWorks.

Judging from your grammar, punctuation, and logic, you must be a public school graduate.

[Schwaeky]

I don't agree with Giuliani either, but Hannity is largely focused on the Most Important Issue of our time (security), and on that front Giuliani is dead on in that. I doubt as a President he would push a liberal agenda with or without a Republican majority in congress. That's just his views.. I'm not enthusiastic about Giuliani, but lets be practical...

Your bigotry is hampering your ability to think.

[Lancey Howard]

Either you posted to the wrong person or you have serious reading comprehension problems. I've seen you around here long enough to know that you probably just posted to the wrong person. No problem.

Personally, I think Michael Schiavo got away with murder and Terri should have been kept on life support. But given that there was insufficient evidence to demonstrate that and that there was no document that Terri Schiavo had signed, giving over the power of attorney to someone else, it was, properly, her husband's decision to make.

If, God forbid, my family were to end up in such a situation, I'd like the decision to be made without having to look over my shoulder and see if Congress is watching. Especially since there's no guarantee it will always be a Republican Congress.

If that makes me a monster, then I'm a monster.

"Then maybe we can work towards getting those undecideds and middle-of-the-road voters back into the fold..."

...and elect more of the likes of Chafee and Snowe. Heck, maybe you could even thaw out Nelson Rockerfeller and put him on the ticket.

[Sir_Ed]

Terri's husband starved her to death. If he had done that to his german shephard, he'd have been thrown in jail, but because we as a culture worship death and the "right" to kill, he was praised...

Sickening.

I don't agree with Giuliani either, but Hannity is largely focused on the Most Important Issue of our time (security), and on that front Giuliani is dead on in that.

The 3000 dead from 9/11 doesn't count up that much against the forty million unborn murdered since Roe became law. This supposed security focus isn't as highminded as some would make it out to be.

Who we are and what we do is always more important than who our enemies are and what they do. Not that I'm suggesting passiveness on terrorism here. Just that it's too easy to say that so-and-so is tough on security so that makes them a good pick. Ask yourself this: if Xlinton (or Madame Xlinton) were tough on terrorism, would you find them acceptable in the White House? And then recall that Giuliani is untested on foreign policy and holds the same liberal positions across the board as do the Xlintons.

I'm not voting for Rudy Clinton. If Karl were resurrected and running as the Dim candidate with a 50% lead over all other Republicans, I still wouldn't vote for Giuliani.

[George W. Bush]

...If Karl Marx were resurrected...

I guess I need to say that I do not know whether this accusation is true or not... I do not know Armey. I was once told by someone that worked in and out of DC that it was true. I questioned a bit more, and was shown a clipping from a Dallas Newspaper that had certain allegations about Armey and some younger women. Henry Hide, Newt, klintoon, and several other prominent pols of the era had to resign over pressure from this sort of thing. That is why I find it plausible that it may be true.

Being pissed at Dick over this statement had my fingers typing something I would not ordinarily say on FR. I am guilty of doing that, for certain.
