BARF!
not to bore you, but out of curiosity I did some digging/collected some information on Krauthammer to see if I could understand why he was dispairaging Fred's campaign.
On Charles Krauthammer (neocon):
"Ultimately, a civilized society must disarm its citizenry if it is to have a modicum of domestic tranquility of the kind enjoyed by sister democracies such as Canada and Britain. Given the frontier history and individualist ideology of the United States, however, this will not come easily. It certainly cannot be done radically. It will probably take one, maybe two generations. It might be 50 years before the United States gets to where Britain is today. Passing a law like the assault weapons ban is a symbolic - purely symbolic - move in that direction. Its only real justification is not to reduce crime but to desensitize the public to the regulation of weapons in preparation for their ultimate confiscation." - Charles Krauthammer, "Disarm the Citizenry," The Washington Post, Friday, April 5, 1996, page A19
Also, from Wiki on Krauthammer:
Krauthammer is generally considered a conservative or neoconservative. However, he is a supporter of legalized abortion[8][9][10], an opponent of the death penalty[11][12][13][14], an intelligent design critic and an advocate for the scientific consensus on evolution, calling the creation-evolution controversy a "false conflict" [15][16], a supporter of embryonic stem cell research (involving embryos discarded by fertility clinics)[17][18][19], a longtime advocate of radically higher energy taxes to induce conservation[20][21][22][23]...
+++++
My reaction: I did not know that.
Thats about as close to an endorsement as I have ever seen.
Buh bye, troll.
uhhhh, glad you have your priorities in the right place.
I have been so disillusioned with Krauthammer lately. I used to think he was so great.
Wow.
ping
Where I was brought up (deep South) I was taught that the faster someone talks, the more he’s likely to be trying to sell me something I don’t need.
btw...
According to an (unscientific) U.S. News analysis of all eight candidates at the debate, Romney, over the course of the two-hour event, had the fastest average rate of speaking, as measured in words per minute.
Here’s the tally, ranked in descending order from the night’s fastest talker to the slowest (words per minute = wpm):
Mitt Romney: 233 wpm
Tom Tancredo: 226 wpm
Rudy Giuliani: 201 wpm
Mike Huckabee: 199 wpm
Duncan Hunter: 188 wpm
John McCain: 182 wpm
Ron Paul: 179 wpm
Fred Thompson: 177 wpm

Double wow.
I guess we better start documenting before “certain people” start claiming it was a zot for supporting Hunter...whine, whine, whine....
The bowl in question looked like one of those Cheerio bowls—the kind designed for toddlers to carry dry Cheerios, for a snack (though the bowl was not yellow). The bottom of such bowls has a rounded feature so small hands can grip it, and an indented center. I’m betting it had a lid that we did not see.
There’s no doubt in my mind that Hunter would have zotted Paperdoll himself if he could have.
I had no idea you knew so much about children. :p
And you are right.
I want to see Fred at his best and polished for these debates.
We have judges, the war, taxation, socialized medicine, immigration, social security, medicate, welfare, government employment, the teacher’s union and education in general on the line.
If we get ANY Republican the next four years, we make a twenty year change in the courts and direction in society.
From what I can tell, he’s not for embryonic stem cell research. Read the column he wrote in today’s Washington Post.
That other stuff is scary. I usually enjoy his political analysis, but every now and then he says something that makes me go, “What the heck?” I do enjoy his insights more than I do those of Fred B., Mort K., and Mara A.
By that criterion, there would be few avid promoters of Duncan left here.
