[Miss Marple]

Lugar and Wallace are acting like this isn't what the generals want.

Vilsack on now saying we shouldn't look back and then proceeds to trash the White House for mistakes and not listening.

He is talking very fast.

[jslade]

Body was flown by US to the village where he was born.

I hope the DoD bills his retched family for the flight.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL THE FREEPERS!

[Mo1]

Lugar is not in a position to question their judgement on the matter

True .. but that is exactly what he and others are doing

One of your links above led me to the story of S.P.C.- J.R. Salzman a true lumberjack-man who has been featured on t.v. and is one of our brave soldiers in Iraq.

Dec. 21 he was injured by an I.E.D.
He has been undergoing surgery almost daily and is a remarkable young soldier who never gives up and is one of our men of steel now serving in Iraq.
His story is here at the blackfive site and his own, it choked my up bad.

[Miss Marple]

Gag me with a spoon. Vilsack compares Kennedy's actions during the Cuban Missile cCrisis (working for peace) vs. Bush going to war in Iraq. ICK!

Wallace trying to pin Vilsack on whther he will take on Democrat special interests. Vilsack won't answer and is doing a tap dance about ANWR. HA!

[rodguy911]

lOL spring will be there before you know it!!

[Miss Marple]

HA! Vilsack has to answer about his low numbers in the polls, even though apparently he is fourth in the polls in IOWA!

[Chuck54]

They know how clueless our Republicans on the Capitol really are, and they are anticipating a free ride for the next two years to do whatever they will.

I'm going to rest my hopes against this on two Republican Senators; Jeff Sessions and Mitch McConnell. I don't think they will roll over but could be wrong.

[Bahbah]

Thanks for posting that, rodguy. I put it on the MELDT thread earlier and sent Spc. Salzman a note of thanks. He's at Walter Reed so I hope he gets to meet some FReepers.

[Alas Babylon!]

Then like I said, it's all politics. That's why Luger should be ashamed. He's a republican trashing a sitting Republican President over politics. Is it any wonder why the Republicans lost the Congress?

Lugar, you old senile fool, you lost your committee chair over backstabbing crap like this. You and Specter, Hagel, McCain, DeWine, and all the other DBM butt kissing idiots. Will you ever learn? Dems stick together. Is it asking too much for you to do the same?

[Mo1]

Is it asking too much for you to do the same?

Apparently it is

[rodguy911]

I am sick of the same old rat/rinos on the shows. When will we get a Victor David Hanson, Hugh Hewitt, or Thomas Sowell or somebody with some cajones on the shows! No wonder no one watches them anymore, the web is the only place to be.
We are where it happens.

[maica]

You are right about those two, but that still leaves so many committees with less-than-assertive senators and representatives to defend our principles and positions against the dems.

[Bahbah]

I'm going to rest my hopes against this on two Republican Senators; Jeff Sessions and Mitch McConnell

And don't forget Senator Kyl who has moved into leadership. No pushover there, and like Sessions and McConnell, he actually cares about this country.

[Bernard]

If I hear one more time "the violence will stop when the Iraqis step up to the plate and take responsibility" I'm going to scream

the violence will stop when US politicians step up to the plate and act united for victory and peace.

How's that?

[rodguy911]

post # 52--amazing like minds!

[Mo1]

When will we get a Victor David Hanson, Hugh Hewitt, or Thomas Sowell or somebody with some cajones on the shows!

You got it .. these shows would be much better if we had more of these folks on

As it is now .. it's the same old, same old every week

Morning AB, All.

Been a very strange Christmas in the swamps of Delaware. My three favorite girls, my two nieces and my daughter, all broke up with their husbands/boyfriends just days before Christmas.

I had everyone over on Christmas Eve-Eve....and had to walk softly around the broken hearts.

We had little sweetheart Kaitlyn Mae over and, of course, Mom-Mom had gifts for her. Children have a hard time handling Christmas sometimes.

As guests were arriving at various times, we wanted to wait until everyone was here but Kaitlyn had her eyeballs on those gifts and finally the anticipation and excitement boiled over and she began to sob her desire to open her gifts.

So I had a little chit-chat with young Kaitlyn. I explained A N T I C I P A T I O N to the child. I'm not sure she understood only being three and everything but I told her that those butterflies in her belly were signs of joy to come and she should enjoy the anticipation, which could be as much fun as the actualy joy to come later.

I'm not sure she bought into it but she did like the notion of butterflies in her stomach and proceeded to explain to everyone in the surround that she had TEN butterflies in her stomach. Well they all thought she was nuts.

Kaitlyn saved that sad little Christmas party because in all the world there's nothing sweeter than a child that age and the wonder of the holiday. She did open Mom-Mom's gifts, which included a Big Wheel that she test-drove over Mom-Mom's carpet, heh. We also had some games and little computer type thing that sang and recited numbers and letters.

All the broken-hearted ladies in the house got busy playing the different games with Kaitlyn and everyone chowed down on my home-made chicken wings, Jewish Apple Cake, fresh baked cookies and deviled eggs...whew, they LOVE my deviled eggs...went through two dozen of the things like Grant went through Richmond.

Then I got out the Christmas CD's and the words to various Christmas songs I'd typed up earlier and hey, we all sat around the table and sang Christmas songs. Kaitlyn's eyes were wide with wonder; the child had never before experienced such a thing.

The next day all the heartbroken lasses called me up and thanked me for bringing the only holiday joy they feel that they've experienced.

Oh, you want my opinion? Every one of those fellows are losers but don't tell the young lasses I said so, particularly my daughter. Her husband is a loser of the highest order if I do say so myself. We'll begin with the fact that he got drunk and wrecked their one and only car and it goes downhill from there.

Still, we did manage to experience at least some Christmas joy that night. When all this bad news hit I was despondent. Who wants to have a party where everyone is sad and crying?

Anyway, Saddam is dead and if I pray hard enough, my daughter would throw that creep overboard.

But don't tell her I said so. An absolutely beautiful girl...ah what's the use. I've been there and done that...

[Mo1]

Much better :0)

[rodguy911]

Vilsack= just another rat with a huge ego.
They already know the fix is in and it will be osamma hussein/dirty hillary pimping for the rats.
