The mouse is your friend!
If you handle it gently
it will not bite you . . .

Put it this way: if you are about to have major surgery and your only choice was a church-going doctor with a high mortality rate, or an agnostic with a high success record, which would it be? I'd choose the agnostic."

Sorry for the triple post. Don't know how that happened!
Does the Dallas Morning News still run announcements of "gay marriages"?
Fred Dalton Thompson.
Pass it on.
Principled conservatives will not support Rudy McRomney.
If there is a choice between a liberal scumbag and a conservative scumbag, I will vote for the conservative scumbag every time.
So far, we pretty much have all liberal scumbags in the race.
Cal Thomas can't make up his mind what he thinks these days. Toss him back in that soup kitchen and don't let him out again.
Is it maturing when one accepts that "Until death do us part" really meant, "Until divorce do us part" on something that is perhaps the second most important vow (with accepting Christ as the first)?
I would suggest it shows people have grown to realize the quality of people wanting to run the country has dramatically decreased over time and they are trying to make do with the best of the worst.
Uh-oh. Cal's in BIG trouble with the Puritans around here.
Treasonous Liberal Ping!!
With all due respect to Cal, it is giving far too much credit to Clinton to refer to his extramarital shenanigans as "affairs." The term is actually short for "love affair," and it is pretty difficult to use that term for Bill's relationship with Monica.
Clinton's relationships with women were invariably short and intensely exploitative. Had he been a conservative Republican the feminists would have given birth to an entire herd of cows over this issue, but since he was a Democrat he got a pass.
I don't approve of Giulani's or Newt's behavior, but each married the woman he had a (real) love affair with and neither appears to be a serial exploiter of less powerful women.
This election has zero to do with whether the candidate is a clean cut male over six feet tall with a pretty wife, 2.5 kids and dog or what church they claim to belong to. We want a Conservative. We don't want a faux Christian like Jimmy Carter, we don't want a Socialist snake oil salesman like Clinton, and we are sick to damn death of W and his "compassionate conservatism." We refuse to be spoon-fed the lunatic McCain, the pretty boy Romney, or the Rockefeller Republican Rudy.
