That's not at all surprising. Which is the reason abortion at this time, could never be outlawed without exceptions.
However, I believe one day abortion will be viewed with the same disdain with which we view slavery today.
Based on my comment in post #152, I would prefer to see Lieberman, who will probably never win the Democratic primary for president (or serve in another high elected office for that matter), as head of the DHS, than Giuliani.
LOL "Doom on you, Motherf******!!!"
I don't really understand your post, as Mineta is already there, as Secretary of Trnsportation. How does Spectre make our border situation worse? It sucks now. I'm just suggesting the military solution to a bad nco or officer, promote them to where they do the least harm.
The only way I would support Lieberman is if, we could wind up with a Republican Senator in his place. Not likely in Ct.
That's not Elmer Fudd, That's Mortimer Snerd an Eger Bergen puppet.
Yeah, but my Elmer Fudd URL was taken down. Snerd happened to be handy.
Considering that Zig Zag Zell Miller also voted for Gore in 2000, does mean freepers will stop worshipping the grounds he walks on and suggesting he is the ideal person for a cabinent post or even the presidency?
Ah, didn't think so.
You see, I don't work on the Peter Principle. I haven't read the book, but I understand the concept. IMO, you do not promote the incompetent, period. The fact that anyone would consider putting Lieberman in the position of HSC to get his Senate seat is ludicrous. Obviously, I am not a politician. For some reason, I would expect better of President Bush and this administration.
While some think the position is not that important, I consider very important. If it's not important, then why even have a HSC? Rather than play politics with the seat, just get rid of the position. It would save the taxpayers money and embarrassment to this administration, if they are shown using the seat for political gain.
The reason we have a Dept. of Homeland Security is, The Democrats and the lapdog MSM were going to make political hay if we did not. All it did was add a layer of bureacracy on top of what was there. Remember the Dem mantra, Enlarge the central government.
A position is only as good as the person you put in it. If they want to make it a dummy position for political purposes, then put a dummy in it. If the position is to be of any value, then put someone in that may be valuable in finding methods to combat terrorists in our "homeland".
Sorry! No matter how good the mayonaisse, You're still not going to get good chicken salad using chicken$41t as the basis.
