3. YaYa123. #22 You said it exactly right: ".....President Bush is the least partisan president we've ever had. He has remained civil, non partisan, reaching out time and again only to get stomped on by the demonrats. How come the beltway jackasses never mention that!" That's what is so disturbing! Democrats were determined from the git-go to punish Bush for Clinton's impeachment. Bush wasn't even in Washington back then!! This hatred from the left is totally responsible for the divisiveness in Washington.
#281 Something else....all last week the MSM tried to portray McCain's criticism of the Clinton North Korea policy as something new. The MSM didn't want to have to say Hillary started the war of words, by blaming the NK nukes on Bush, so they declared this was the beginning of Clinton v McCain 08 presidential race. BS alert!! McCain has been on Bill Clinton's NK policy going back years and he wasn't about to let Hillary get away with ignoring his long held position. We might have taken comfort in McCain rushing to the defense of Bush, but in truth, McCain was defending himself. Read the following eye opener written by McCain in 2003: Click here

2. Phsstpok. Always a thoughtful contributor. You should read all his posts.
#394 It could be fun to watch Kerry get between Hillary and the nomination. Talk about roadkill. She will flatten John. Kristol on Fox was talking about Gore having a shot in '08 of going at Hillary and anyone else from the left. He talked about a debate moment that he predicted would happen where Gore insists that everyone who was in the Senate, which would likely include all of his erstwhile opponents and certainly includes Hillary, were guilty of having voted for the Iraq war while he opposed it. He said that would carry the day with the Democratic primary voters. Oh, joy. Another election with Al Gore, this time blown up to Orson Welles like physical proportions, with the ego to match but, sadly for him, lacking even the slightest hint of Welles' talent.
#483. How is the tone of the calls going, Phsstpok? My fingers are crossed for Corker. It's 90% no answer or leaving a message on an answering machine. It is the weekend, after all, and people are out enjoying relatively good weather, particularly yesterday. I've gotten several "you don't have to convince me" folks and one who wanted to argue about Social Security ("I've lived in this country 50 years and been a citizen for 30 but I can't speak English and they make it hard for me and they don't pay for my teeth anymore"). Thank goodness I've only gotten one where "that person has died" number so far. And that one sounded like it was recent. I felt really bad and had nothing good to offer. There are a bunch of folks who are voting not for Corker but for "The Republican," which is my motivation as well. I was a Bryant supporter but Corker won the primary. There is no way in hell that I want Majority Leader Reid, however. There was one lady who was voting that way but wanted me to promise that I'd tell Corker (who I haven't met) that he can't lower himself to their level with his ads. Okey dokey.

#331 Posted by Seattle Conservative to rodguy911 On News/Activism 10/15/2006 10:14:26 AM CDT · 331 of 559 "I would give anything if our candidates were allowed to run segments of the path to 911 as commercials for our side, but I guess that's too much to ask." Hitlery is already having a fit over John McCain basically calling her a liar about what she said about Bubba and NK. It got really ugly - -I don't think she would've apologized by the outcry made her. It's definitely going to get uglier and uglier before Nov 7 and the '08 elections will be reallly bad. Hillary Aide Mocks McCain POW Past, Dowd: George 'n Jong - Couple Of 'Immature' Guys, NY Times-Maureen Dowd/NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein Posted on 10/14/2006 6:40:01 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest For Maureen Dowd, politics are mainly personal. This morning she managed to reduce the current Korean conflict to an image of two boys behaving badly. Also, is mocking John McCain's POW past a smart move for the Hillary camp? Dowd offered a stunning insight into the Hillary campaign that suggests it might not be the ready-for-presidential-primetime operation some might imagine. The main topic of Maureen Dowd's subscription-required column of this morning, Is Chivalry Shivved?, is the war of words between Hillary and John McCain, as the two top presidential contenders recently fired some early shots over the other's bow on the topic of responsibility for the N. Korean nuclear mess. Dowd managed to work in the DNC talking point of the week: the need for direct talks between the Bush administration and N. Korea. [Former Clinton UN Ambassador Bill Richardson was all over the morning shows today pushing the idea, by the way.] In any case, viewing the N. Korean nuke situation through her politics-of-the-personal lens, Dowd saw things thusly: "It’s clear, after all, that the North Koreans are acting immaturely in response to W. acting immaturely. They want attention because the Bush administration inexplicably refuses to talk to them. And they know, in the pre-emptive world ordained by nutty Dick Cheney, that the best way to protect themselves from the fate of Saddam Hussein is to actually go nuclear, rather than merely fantasizing and boasting about it." Just a couple of wild 'n immature guys, that George and Jong. Nice moral equivalence, Maureen. As for the pro-pre-emption Dick Cheney ["nutty" - this is what passes for serious criticism at the Times nowadays?], wouldn't Dowd agree that the world would be a much better place if Bill Clinton had permanently pre-empted OBL when he was handed the chance? Aside: I was fascinated by this nugget Dowd reports from inside Hillary Central: Privately, Hillary’s camp was not overly upset by the McCain swipe because it suspected he was doing the bidding of the White House and that he ended up, as one adviser put it, “looking similar to the way he did on those captive tapes from Hanoi, where he recited the names of his crew mates.” If Hillary and her advisers think it's smart to attack McCain by making snide comments that invoke his five years as a POW, then she's not the smartest-woman-in-the-world political juggernaut some make her out to be.
