I thought Reagan said not to speak ill of another Republican.

So do you think that Bush should be impeached because he, as CiC dared to land on a carrier to greet the troops and announce "mission accomplished".

It seems like you think, that if the Democrats attack a Republican, regardless of the ludicrousness or triviality of the charge, the Republicans should obligingly jump on the Democrat bandwagone against our own, let's just elect all Democrats, who are "all without sin", shall we? (/sarcasm)

Do you remember I bought that newspaper lady's last newspaper? I had to go in to Denny's and get change for her. She had a few missing toes and I felt that it was my good deed for the day. I don't think I read the paper that day.

[LurkerNoMore!]

That was sweet, Fred.
Your good deeds that day are too numerous to mention.

We have a dennys here too LOL

These human interest stories (Lott, Santorum, Bennet) play out in the broader news media (liberal) and entertainment industry such as the Daily Show (liberal). It is very difficult for conservatives to shape public opinion when a story gets into this domain. It's why conservatives were hopeless in winning the public opinion wars over the Clinton impeachment. So long as the story remains within the confines of political insiders/junkies, it can be shaped by AM radio, Limbaugh, Washington Times, cable news (especially Fox). Once you slip outside that boundary and into the mainstream, it's a lynching by the Left's media and entertainment industry arsenal.

I left you voice mail today.

Sorry I missed you earlier. Got the call thanks!

Newt was a threat to Democrat, remember he gave us the first Republican House in 40 years,so when Democrats attacked him with phony charges, the Republicans couldn't wait to get on the bandwagon. Same with Lott, now people can be happy with Frist who really rolls over for Democrats.
Now they attack Bennett.

,,,,,
Frist is the democrats best one yet.

Thanks for the ping.

Leftist elites are still trying to bring everyone down to Clinton's level.

Do Right-Wingers Ever Defend Their Own?

We defend principles, not people.

What's that old saw? "Small minds talk about people, average minds talk about events, great minds discuss ideas"?

[TLBSHOW]

Even to team up with the rats to slam our own people, while the rats are laughing at you?

Nah wrong answer.

This is war against the rats. It would be wise to learn from this story because it is all the truth if we want to send the rats back to the stone age. It is people that will do that. If we have any left.....

Democrats’ 2004 Kamikaze Mission

Defending our own is a must. Santorum and Bennett deserved better. Although I do believe the "general public" overrlooks the RATs rants (they consider the source). Thanks for the ping.

[TLBSHOW]

You're welcome.

I thought Reagan said not to speak ill of another Republican...He did - that's why it was suggested as a paraphrase and "slight revision" of his Eleventh Commandment (in any event, Newt, Lott, Bennett, and Santorum are all republicans as far as I know)....
