And if there is any doubt, just since I announced that Southflanknorthpawsis had won, their excitement has picked up substantially. It sure looks like a two-way race seeing as how a call for compassion seems to have taken precedence over the desire to win at all costs!
Right now, we're looking at 15 from Daughter--in less than 24 hours, no less. Its going to take a Herculean effort by Howlin to match or beat that, inasmuch as she only has 11 since the first days' winner was announced.
It is quite possible that 'hate for Keyesters' is the motive, but I thought Republicans were above 'hate' and all that stuff that was identifiable with Democrats. I can see your point about hate or envy or yes, frustration, resulting from not having to be ashamed of those you admire most.
I'm so thankful and happy that I don't have to worry about what 'is' is; about hostile terriers; about taxes passing over or under any body, dead or alive. I prefer someone who knows what government is supposed to be about, who respects our founding documents, who knows the difference between a philosopher and Jesus Christ, and has a wife that goes about her life with dignity, grace, and class.
BTW, I believe I've figured out why there is a constant harping about 'being told what he really said'....its probably a combination fo the general overall decline in conversation in the US, 8 second sound bites, and having leaders that you need an interpreter for!
Well, that certainly is exciting. Maybe I've posted a lot because people are talking to me, but, since you've made it a contest, I may as well win. I haven't even gotten around to answering everybody!
Let me ask you, though - this "closet Keyester" thing you've come up with - is that sort of like when people post on a thread about gays, people say that they are "obsessed" with the gay lifestyle, thereby implying that the "obsessed" is, in reality, attracted to the same sex himself? I mean, is your "closet Keyester" thing meant to do the same thing, like discourage people from expressing their opinion, for fear they will be suspected of obsessing about Alan Keyes? 'Cause I always thought that "You're obsessed with homosexuality!! Why??? Hmmmmmmmmm??????" thing was pretty stupid. Didn't you, Rowdee? I mean, it doesn't really make any sense at all.
P.S. Are you sure you're not beating me on this thread? You've actually posted quite a lot yourself!
