Please don't sink to the level of your opponents on this thread. All the best, By

You mean the Obama mama? Goodnight, Byron :o)

You still haven't met a conservative you didn't urinate on...I'm glad the mantle of watching your assinine moderate/liberal garbage has been passed on, you bore me.

"I'm kind of glad people like you don't like me; it reaffirms my feeling that I'm doing something right. And I've been here longer than you have." I now see that your mathematical abilities are equal to your grammatical abilities. I have now learned from you that July 1, 1999 is earlier than December 5, 1998. Thank you for pointing that out to me. Maybe remedial math would help. It's been a barrel of laughs. Sleep tight (that's assuming you ever get off this thread and go to sleep) and don't let the Keyesbugs bite.

No matter how smart you think you are, evidently you aren't smart enough to realize this isn't my original screename.

it's just like wearing "kneepads for Bush." Remember that one?

I hope they weren't implying that we Bush supporters are Lewinskys.

Goodnite, sweet Byron_the_Aussie. We fight the good fight. Never let the stinkers get you down.

[supercat]

I think the operative saying is, "Well, if you want to play that way..." Let me finish it for you, please. ...then you're just like them." Or at least that's what we would have said until tonight.

The fact that one party may negate rules does not imply that the other party should have carte blance to do so. On the other hand, I see no moral imperative for unilateral disarmament either.

[Howlin]

Oh, you're here; the ugly face of conservatism!

[nopardons]

I never said " WE'RE DOOMED"...but I did state the case correctly;unlike you.

And YOU live in a permanent state of hallucination.I'll take reality,instead.

You're wrong, and as long as you've been here I'm surprised that you don't know Howlin was here under a different screen name for quite a while before changing to the name Howlin (and at the time she changed, posted about what she was doing and why, so it was no secret at all).

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Well, I have to admit I don't know what you mean by that, either - but it sounds like you could use a glass of water. LOL

Could you please link me to a post where someone is "cheerleading" for Obama? I swear, I missed it. I don't know you and I have no reason to doubt your sincerity, but I really didn't see anything like that. Please point me to it.

[tame]

Yep,you're doing a swell job for Obama.

If the Obama cheerleader label doesn't apply then don't assume it's meant for you.

[WillRain]

Nobody watches MSNBC. Heck, most of us don't even have access to it.

I've long advocated Fox giving him a "Firing Line" type discussion show on the weekends...but alas, to no avail.

But this is a pretty good alternative.

[Keyes2000mt]

Unlike you, who only did it because you had to, being a state politico and all that? I never Hated George W. Bush. I never sat down and searched for threads and said, "Let's see what Governor Bush is doing so I can slam him. I'll rip another new one today." I thought George W. Bush was incompetent, unreliable as a spokesman for the Republican Party and politically less than his supporters gave him credit for. I criticized the President myself with my own columns and opinions, I didn't go trying to belittle everything the man ever did or said. I have to believe this is the case with you and the Good Doctor, that you regularly search for Keyes threads to come on board and attack him. Which is the main gripe that most of us have had with Keyes; he just doesn't seem to be able to get his point across to us without one of you coming on and telling us what we really should have heard. And the President has never needed anyone to come out clarify something he's said? Every political leader needs that, particularly when the quote is taken out of its context. Generally, I don't engage in this banter because I have better things to do and also I've got a job, but I was up late writing anyway. So, 'night.

So we're now embracing situational ethics? Good to know.

like I said....i was being sarcastic.


he makes little Ford seem innocuous.


we seem to have a run on photogenic very liberal mulatto male libs for the media to fawn over.....the price of progress

NO chance of winning;not even a chance to come close.

Gideon 'had NO chance of winning'; not even a chance to come close.

But he did.

David 'had NO chance of winning'; not even a chance to come close.

But he did. Goliath's pride was laid low.

Jesus 'had NO chance of winning'; He was dead and in the grave.

But he did win. He came out of the tomb.

Washington's ragtag army 'had NO chance of winning'; not even a chance to come close.

But they won. They defeated the world's only superpower.

In 1942, Hitler had an iron grip on the entire continent of Europe, and the Japanese had control of the Pacific. America couldn't win, no way. The odds were too long.

But we did.

True leaders don't look at odds. They answer the call to duty no matter the personal cost.

I have more compassion in my conservative little finger than you have in your entire center-left body...

[outlawcam]

he's willing to completely ignore what he said about Hillary Clinton in 2000.

And we're very disillusioned with this irrational and illogical conclusion you are drawing. "Completely ignore" means to pay no attention whatsoever, and he's addressed the fact that he is having some difficulties with the circumstance based on the principles of federalism--the same ones that he mentioned in 2000. Not to beat a dead horse, Howlin, but I'm not going to claim that you should have heard that. I am going to claim that you should have acknowledged that before accusing him of "completely ignor(ing)" what he said in 2000. I have no doubt you heard, or read it.

For some reason, it gives you in particular some kind of joy to always define those who disagree with Keyes you and his your tactics as haters condescending; telling, IMO.

You would be on much firmer ground, IMO, to criticize those here who condemned Hillary's situation and applaud this one without any explanation about how the situations are different in principle that would warrant supporting one and not the other.

But then, there are those who have already done so. Perhaps none of the explanations meet your satisfaction. Fine. Pleas just stop pretending that your level of civility is any better than those you are criticizing for their lack of it. When a tiger is cornered and attacked, he strikes. I understand and accept that. But he doesn't try to explain it away or pretend he doesn't do it.

That analogy is lost on me but I'll let it stand for the chance that it makes some sort of geeky sense. I must be tired. I'm going to bed. :)
