Before the Republican Party fell into a coma, I think I heard it say that if it were in power for more than two terms or twelve years, we should take it off life support.

A few political quotes to remind us that politics is bottom-feeding and that almost everything in life is more important and more fun than Last Night. These quotes are all from people whose names start with "A," one quote per customer (except I gave John Adams two), in a collection of political quotes running 27 pages!

"The danger is not that a particular class is unfit to govern. Every class is unfit to govern." -- Lord Acton

"Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job." -- Douglas Adams

"You can't use tact with a Congressman! A Congressman is a hog! You must take a stick and hit him on the snout!" -- Henry Brooks Adams, The Education of Henry Adams (quoting an unnamed Senator)

"Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide." -- John Adams

"I have accepted a seat in the House of Representatives, and thereby have consented to my own ruin, to your ruin, and to the ruin of our children. I give you this warning that you may prepare your mind for your fate." -- John Adams

"Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost." -- John Quincy Adams

"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds…" -- Samuel Adams

"We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office." -- Aesop

"He's a politician. That's a notch below child molester." -- Woody Allen, Annie Hall

"Growing older, I have lost the need to be political, which means ... the need to be left. I am driven to grudging toleration of the Conservative Party because it is the party of non-politics, of resistance to politics." -- Kingsley Amis

"When I have to choose between voting for the people or the special interests, I always stick with the special interests. They remember. The people forget." -- Senator Henry Fountain Ashurst (D-AZ)

Did the notes on this identify the other two in the photo? They have to be liberals. Liberals always look SO happy sucking up to communists -- even little league communists like Ortega. Communists are what liberals they want to be when they grow up.

OK, the others are Sen. Tom Harkin and his wife. We owe Harkin kind words -- at least once -- because he spoke up for Terri. We do not owe him any admiration and this photo shows why.

Looks like they will seize the mandate T'wit. I guess the first thing on the agenda will be to vacate Iraq. I was thinking about what date they would like that to take place. Ho Chi Minh's birthday is May 19th. I don't know where the current level of funding gets us to though. It would be hard to alter that.

On a similar note, if your kid has cancer, the Courts will tell you how it should be treated if you are not interested in chemotherapy and radiation.

If Terri is going to be in the Democratic playbook, do you know what we need? A fact sheet on Terri. Medical issues. Legal issues. FAQ. The main things one needs to know, right at your fingertips, crisp and simple. We can all work together on this. Ask the Terri ping folks to think up questions, then let's hone the answers together.

Plus, I do want to include my favorite question because our visitors can't answer it (and have never even tried). Shucks, Michael Schiavo has never answered it honestly either. You know, the one asking innocently, now that bulimia has been ruled out by the autopsy report... how did Terri end up face down on the floor in the hall, in cardiac arrest and nearly dead, right after Michael got home from work late that Saturday night?

You don't suppose they were having a little domestic tiff that day, do you? It might have gotten out of control.

Isn't that John Kerry doctrine? "I voted to send them surplus government cheese before I voted to stab them in the back." A lot of people could die from this, not least right here in the emasculated U. S. of A.

Trying to stop the crime of murder is an extreme ideology? Starvation and dehydration is what's right about America? Terri didn't want that! The agenda wanted her death. A living will kit is in the FLA AG's page. (How to kill yourself so we won't have to.)

They are doing a great job of brainwashing Americans, I must admit. Look at all the Floridians who just got a complete wash and wax.

So you caught dear leader on tv? He said HEART again. He's got a one track mind.... see my brainwashing post because that's why he's going to be inaugurated in January. There will be tons of regrets because he chose McCain over Prez Bush at the same time CC said that the race wasn't "national" but about Florida. Is McCain FROM FLORIDA? Crist can't even keep his talking points straight.

Maybe he wants everybody's heart because he doesn't have one and his brain is on loan from nbc's The Apprentice.

Welcome to Mexico North, www.spp.gov.

Hayworth's gone and Weldon's gone. They are patriots but they lost.

Don't know what I can say to say that we don't deserve it. The same scenario occurred in Viet Nam and Cambodia. When they were killed, nobody here gave a shit.

Charlie Crist luvs judges because they are lawyers first and foremost. He also luvs democrats and foreigners. We are blankety-blanked.

Dick Armey was bashing Terri Schiavo on all the cable shows one night last week. It was disgusting. He said that the GOP had been overtaken by the religious right and the Schiavo issue was just one example.
