Yes, well, the SCOTUS is already a done deal~ Anything capable of passing the liberals in the senate is not going to be someone we prefer, of that you can be sure. Unless of course, they become trading stock... who knows what awful thing we must endure to allow such to occur?
LOL! As compared to McCain? Or as compared to a write-in? Please.
When it gets too complicated, I just have to trust God to work everything out according to his will.
Like I said, America is in trouble.
Oh, posh. Pubs are so middle-class.
It's off to the Country Club, my good man! Nothing less than the Country Club will suffice for such Men of Respect.
Yes!
And who better to ensure that intactimundo business than The Juans (Hernandez e McCain)?
Well, yeah, I guess. So long as no one swipes his strawberries out of the White House freezer, I mean.
“Do you work for the NRCC?”Do you work for Soros, Obama, and the Democrats?
Answering a question with a question is no answer at all.
Although given the context, the setting, the topic, and the flavor of the evasion, one does tend to wonder why you refuse to answer it.
Some obvious possibilities leap to mind, which I shall leave as an exercise for the reader.
Simple answer: The UGAddelwits are the monkey. The party is the stones in the coconut. The monkey is holding onto the stones, and he's not gonna let go, because they're his, dammit!
You know how the story ends... "roast monkey."
The Party has become a caricature of every "The Party" in history. Big fat soft weak power-drunk fools who hold the power -- for sake of holding the power -- and will not relinquish it until it's wrenched from their hands.
Typically, that task falls to the barbarians, but this time around, it looks like it's up to the barakians. Talk about a distinction without a difference, eh?
"Leadership" is about service -- NOT "power."
What we have now is a pigfest of power-porkers who are in it for the game -- the payoff -- the power.
The fish rots from its head, etc., etc., etc. There are no end of fitting aphorisms. The bottom line is that you can't take a gang of power-mad corrupt thugs, blinded to reality, and task them with behaving with honor and service.
They'll hear you out... no, strike that -- they'll let you have your say -- and then they'll tell you what they think you want to hear. They'll then pat themselves on the back, wink at each other, and head off to the links.
But now imagine having that... and being told, "Hey, you voted for him! You knew what you were getting, you knew what he was all about, but you chose to vote for him. So shut up and sit down and quit buggin' us!"
When they are gushing with more heartfelt affection for the likes of The Swimmer, than they have for their own, it tells us one thing very clearly: We're not "their own."
(And even that is being unduly kind to them, since it's not a matter of them having "less" affection for the likes of us; they have no affection for us, none at all. Nothing but unmitigated contempt. We are nothing more than a herd of walking billfolds, to be harvested as-needed.)
Of course, the more practiced among them will simply smile, and ignore it -- but it's the likes of "Mac" Himself that I'm wondering about. Surely -He- will hear of this Treason Against The PARTY -- and when -He- does, I suspect that -He- is apt to go all Queegey, with maybe a touch of Agnew-Meltdown Factor tossed into the mad mix (I'm thinking back to the time that foamy-mouthed windbag started blubbering about all those "allegations" made about him, and something along the lines of how he'd like for "all those alligators to step forward.")
I really do believe the man is stark raving mad, only able to keep a lid on his venomous tongue by sheer force of will -- and, the diligent efforts of his handlers to insulate him from The Insolent who would Offend His Grace by raising questions that -He- does not wish to hear.
Push it past the Cone of Silence, however -- which this blog may very well have done -- and I expect the chance of him coming totally unglued is very very real.
May haps I should set the video recorder on constantly, so that I can capture the makings of a "McCain Unhinged!" album, hehehehehehe.....
I told him Thurs night we were in serious trouble this year.
The election with the most disgust and distrust that I can remember is Bush 41's reelection after he played, go along to get along, with the Democrats and signed gun control and broke his "no new taxes" pledge.
I don't think the Republican troubles of that election even holds a candle to this campaign season. What I'm reading and hearing so far in 2008 is at least 10 times worse than what I remember for Bush 41.
That discontent led to Perot getting 19% of the vote nationwide, I wonder what this seemingly much larger disconnect with the base Republican voters will bring.
I'm guessing it's going to be very ugly for Republicans.
As someone who has been cyber-stalked on more than one occasion (credible death-threats not only get old in a hurry, but are generally bad for one's BP and peace of mind), I will have to disagree.
Putting personally identifiable information out there, in a context of political debate, is just begging for below-the-belt retalitation tactics. There are some real mad-dog pieces of work out there, and they will stoop to depths no rational man would even dream possible.
But these are not rational men we are discussing...
If it's a hobby forum or gardening or cooking or music blog... well, there's still the risk that something you say may trigger some complete whackjob. You just never know. But, in the political arena, in this day and age... I'd urge anyone who decides to use his real name, to not post anything beyond polite blandishments.
"No, Juan, it wasn't a sell-out. It was a freebie. :)"
Stuff like this that was posted on the blog:...
I think most of us agree with you on this list nearly 100%.
People are angry with Republicans because we gave them all the levers of power in DC and they did little or none of the list and instead became big government, big spending Democrat mini-me's.
The saddest thing is that the Republican leaders seem to have "learned" from their drubbing in 2006 that they need to make a hard left turn instead of realizing that they were turned out of office because they didn't follow Republican/conservative ideals.
LOL... You mean that you think that importing 20+ million new Democrat voters will make a difference in the election process?
I see the Republican Party waking up and coming to an ugly realization shortly after the Republican Party ceases to be a political force.
Greenland is a little nippy for my taste, but New Zealand looked pretty nice in The Lord of the Rings.
” Yet...Imagine the troops coming home like they did in 1974-1975...being helicoptered out of the Green Zone...the subsequent slaughter of all there who worked with us...oil at 250/barrel... interest rates here at home 20-25%...maybe more as the rest of world sees us once again abandoning an obligation we assumed...thereby losing faith in America and the dollar....at least in 1976 we could all see the dust of Reagan’s galloping horse on the horizon....”
The above WILL happen with Obambi....it WILL NOT with McCain...that’s about all the difference between the two I see....
I mailed it to the party chairman. He had not seen it, nor was he surprised by it, but he sure wasn’t happy about it. He is pretty fed up himself.
