Good appearance by Trent.

Glad to hear that.

[syriacus]

Or Iran, for that matter

Good point.

[MHGinTN]

ABC is in full smear mode. George Steponallofus is spewing the spittlegeist in spades this morning, smearing Romney as 'a Mormon' to the Baptist Huckabee, setting Giuliani up as too pro-choice, etc. Yes, the spittlegeist is to smear and push the negatives on evryone EXCEPT the hatellary rodhamster whom georgie serves and worships ... georgie sees his future back in the white whore house when her lowness is annointed and his pal the degenerate is back in whorehouse form. Sickening little worm.

[Morgan in Denver]

Not just the funds. I have to believe all the congress-critters have been catching it from every Republican in America because of their apparent lack of spine. At every level the party base is complaining and I believe our sentiments are getting through, finally.

[sgtyork]

Wasn't Shirley Chisholm the first African American Democrat Presidential candidate?


Bravo, good memory.

[Txsleuth]

Any Duncan Hunter fans ....he will be on CNN in the new few hours.

[snugs]

Crumbs I hope this never happens in Britain. I hear of people claiming for spills on carpets etc etc.

[Phsstpok]

We will have traded one NE Rino (Chaffee) for another...

The positive difference is that Lieberman understands the issues in the war on terror, including the battlefront in Iraq.  Also, it's not a zero sum game.  With Chaffee and Lieberman in office in the last Senate you had two liberals, one of whom understood the WOT.  Now the really bad actor, Chaffee, is gone and Lieberman is moving towards goodness.

The trend is our friend. 

[samantha]

We can fix that. we can arrange for a flurry of phone calls to the Congresscritters at 1-800-862-5530 toll free to the Congressional Switchboard. I just used it a week ago, so it is still good. Another one is 1-866-220-0044, but cannot verify if that is still a good number. Let's get on it folks. Make it short and sweet. I think Steny is waiting in the wings to replace old " Blinky" Nanzee when she finally scares enough Rats by her delusional behavior so that they ask her to step down for Health reasons(their Health) of course. She could say she wants to spend more time with her Botox,er uh uh, I mean Grandchildren. I have a diagnosis for her if she wants to use it, Botox intoxication/addiction. Send her to Betty Ford Clinic for this malady.

I caught the show earlier. Huckabee made a pretty good appearance. As I stated in an earlier post, I like the way he presents himself, but I'm not sure he has enough to separate himself from the top three (anointed by the MSM) candidates on the Right, Romney, McCain, and Giuliani.

I missed the first part of the show, however. I was confused by the simultaneous airing of Stephanopolous's show and Lifetime Network's Gay, Straight, or Taken. I think it's an honest mistake most would have made.

[Txsleuth]

Oh...jeez, CNN's Iraq war reporter describing what Iran is doing in participating in the Iraq war...to exactly what the USA did in Afghanistan against Russia.

He is making the report that came out today in Iraq about Iran's weapons...is OLD news, no big deal.

America captured a leader of Al Qud's force...and that the unit in Iraq is being lead by Khameni and that Iran said the weapons that were found from Iran were for "protection"...hehe

[Phsstpok]

You act as if they will change their ways, I would not expect that any time soon.

Not expecting, but hoping.  I am the eternal optimist, buried under a healthy dose of cynicism and paranoia, of course. 

[rodguy911]

These people are slicker than any of us ever dreamed.

Notice that Hillary is doing town hall stuff now taking questions she never in a zillion years has taken before. It's not by accident that she is doing so over a year and half before elections.

She knows anything she says now will be a distant memory(and never will,be recalled by the DBM) and will be forgotten by all by the time we start pulling levers for candidates.

What really matters is what happens the last few months before Nov.08. By then you wont be able to find her with a microscope,GPS or spy satellite I will bet.(She will be soliciting the Alaska vote)

It will be all DNC rock stars--Bubba and Alabama doing rock concert after concert with the DBM having riots trying to cover each and every one and every word that they say.

Obama is just the VP "tool" for Hillary. It's all done very slickly, these guys will have hundreds of millions of bucks to play with.

But in the end, so many of her own constituents hate her so much she will fail.(as long she runs against Rudy or McCain)

"I don't doubt for one minute that he'd throw Pelosi under the bus if the opportunity ever presented itself."

What a totally inappropriate and offensive commend.
Nancy doesn't DO buses. You should respect that, and say: "I don't doubt for one minute that he'd throw Pelosi under the wheels of the airplane if the opportunity ever presented itself.

[anita]

Washington times WAS a good newspaper and lately, they print Associated Press stories just as they despatch as news (which spins for dems) just as they do in Fox carrying AP all day and reading NYT & Wash.Post stories.

NYPost however does a good job of reporting & writing bold editorials without any fear. They beat Wash.Post in circulation - became #4 from #7, meanwhile wash.post drains to #7 from #4. Which is why good reporters moved to Examiner from Wash.Times.

[rodguy911]

YOu are welcome.

[Txsleuth]

Wolf Blitzer just told Feith that the IG report substantiated that there was no "operable" close relationship between Iraq and al-queda in the run up to 9/11.

Feith said that HE never said there was...and that Wolf SHOULD have known better.

[Bahbah]

Oh no, John and Teresa are writing a book about global warming and energy independence.

Wallace let Clinton crap all over him.

Basically, Wallace sat there and took it, like a deer caught in unexpected headlights. He failed to parry Clinton's thrusts, or was too afraid he was going to annoy Peter Chernin, his liberal boss. In so doing, Wallace dissed the Fox News Sunday audience, IMHO.

In case one needs reminding how pathetic Wallace was: Watch who controls the interview.
