Launching his campaign in NOLA was a nice touch. Ill probably get banned for this, but at this stage the vocal residents of NOLA are still looking for hand outs. What did Edwards promise the "civic leaders" of NOLA when he launched his campaign? The politicians still screaming about Katrina, are still in ME mode. Edwards knows damn well the opportunities available in NOLA. There are more jobs, cheap housing, and education opportunities available there than you can shake a stick at. But why should the ME folks take advantage of them when a sleazy trial will offer them for free?

that the poorest get college educations

Oh, I suppose it's the new evangelicalism only now it's government that is going to do everything that people might otherwise do out of the goodness of their hearts. That college thing in particular gets to me. There are people, lots of them, who are not capable of "college level" work. The libs, knowing this, simply worked over the past few decades to dumb down the curriculum. But some are just too incapable even with virtually useless course work.

This notion that EVERYONE should have a college education is nonsense.

Liberals also scream about the clubbing of baby seals in Canada (I don't like it either BTW) and yet think PDA's are just fine and dandy. There is a real disconnect with these people.

[samantha]

I am slow on the uptake today, but one of my posts said exactly that. We are doing better than the DBM, and we are the FBNM (fantastically brilliant new media), or just FNM to be reckoned with in the next two Years.

[cardinal4]

But why should the ME folks take advantage of them when a sleazy trial will offer them for free?

Sorry, make that sleazy trial LAWYER...

[Txsleuth]

Well...I surely won't be a bit surprised to hear Mary Landrieu take advantage of Edwards' campaign points about NO, to come to the Senate within the first week and demand more money...

[Bahbah]

BLITZER: I want to move on....

I'll just bet he wanted to move on after Lieberman started talking sense.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Speaking of Muslims. I happened to catch Newswatch on Fox later last night and one of the rounds was on most important stories not covered by the media. Cal Thomas really hit the other four as well as the viewers right between the eyes when he said: Muslim Mosques being built all over this country like Starbucks and no one is asking why or even covering this phemomen.

He went on to say they may not be up to anything with all the mosques, but who knows, since no one is paying attention and we all know the mosques are where so much radicalism takes place and can take place out of the public view.

I think one reason this grabbed me is because of the controversy right now in Katy Texas about a mosque, training school, etc., being built and the residents don't want it.. that, alone, is a long story few are covering, though NPR did have a story a week ago on it.

[Bahbah]

Hillary Clinton will be out of the running for her party's nomination for the presidency by late 2007.

Please, please, please be right about this.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Mary Landrieu has been demanding money and more money since the first day the hurricane struck, even before we knew just how bad it was.

[texicali]

don't forget her brother ran for Mayor again Nagin and lost

[Txsleuth]

I have heard quite a few dem politicians and candidates that have campaigned on the idea of having fully paid for college educations for the poor...not just Edwards.

Neither one of my children have a college education...they chose not to go...

My son went to a different type of school, and now manages a flight school..owns his own plane...and is doing quite well at 27.

My daughter went to work as a receptionist at a title company and has now worked herself up to escrow assistant and closer...and is making very good money.

If THEY can do it without a government paid college education....so can anyone else.

Besides, from what I have seen about the professors in these colleges and universities, I wouldn't WANT my children getting their education there...and I certainly wouldn't want my MONEY to pay for it..(although it does, in taxes, darn it)

[Arizona Carolyn]

Because the "me" folks all want more welfare, they don't want jobs.

[Bahbah]

did you catch the notes about the Beltway Boys that I pinged you to...from last night??

No. I'll go back and dig it up.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Did you finally see Newswatch?

[Chuck54]

That's always the first clue;;;;

Blitzer: I want to move on.....

You are so right. When a guest starts making sense, CNN and their ilk do NOT want anyone to hear sensible debate.

You have noticed, I'm sure, that the idiot on the afternoon show with Blitz, Cafferty I think is his name, always gets as much time as he wants to spew his drivel slamming the Bush administration?

[cardinal4]

Hillary Clinton will be out of the running for her party's nomination for the presidency by late 2007.

I think thats a pretty good assumption. Even the average dolt will be questioning why The View, CNN, and the rest of the DNC propagana machine, never ask any tough questions and why she has no past, why no one mentions her husband, what happened to Hillary care, just why did Billy Dale get prosecuted....etc...

[cardinal4]

Because the "me" folks all want more welfare, they don't want jobs.

And there is nobody better to deliver on that than a sleazy, "something for nothing" trial lawyer..

[Txsleuth]

Glad you posted that...I didn't stay up long enough to see that...

Every once in awhile, Cal Thomas will say something I agree with...

Maybe WE need to make that part of our new "talking points" along with all of the other things..to make SURE that our Congresscritters are aware of the problem...and see if any of them have the guts to deal with that problem.

One Congressman, Virgil Goode tried to...and has been excoriated by the MSM and any and all Muslim groups.

[Arizona Carolyn]

I was glad to see him lose, though sad to see they still have Nagin. Talk about the proverbial rock and hard place, like us having a choice between Hillary and McCain.
