Rush!

[Positive]

"living"?

Amazingly inappropriate miss spleing...

[mnehring]

Cynthia- How is someone who is so mentally incompetent that she cannot even remember a little pin, be qualified to represent the people in her district?

[OldFriend]

So you disagree that Russian and China have joined forces against us?

You don't think that the outcome of this alliance is dangerous for the United States?

You're of the Kumbaya persuasion.

I never used to like Tom Delay. It always appeared that he was watching what he said so much that it came out like he was some sort of bumbling idiot. Now he sounds relaxed and tells it like it is. I really am beginning to believe he can do more out of office than in office. Quite surprized Rush didn't remember the shooting at Delay's office. Sometimes I think he's been hit in the head too many times with golf balls.

[OldFriend]

Imagine if we had DeLay in the senate instead of Lott and/or Frist.

A real man who got things done and used the hammer!

[A.Hun]

This might clear him to run for it...maybe he will move to Wisconsin!

[angcat]

I am at my worst now in the spring, I woke up at 5:30am with a spring attack only to find snow on the deck! Crazy

[MarkLevinFan]

I didn't say that. I was just curious to know who agrees with you.

[Bahbah]

Imagine if we had DeLay in the senate instead of Lott and/or Frist.

What a dream that would be. DeLay up against Dingy. Game, set, match.

[A.Hun]

Congress is Bizarro World.

[Sensei Ern]

It was snowing in DC this morning, but it melted immediately.

[hattend]

She doesn't forget to wear the pin. Some earlier FR thread when this first happened pointed out she refuses to wear it on a regular basis.

She really does expect all the guards to know who she is. She's a moonbat.

[mathluv]

I think it is the location that he did not know. He talked about the shooting earlier in the week.

I did not know it was Tom's office. I can remember Cokie Roberts talking about it being her father's old office, but not who the current occupent was.

As I turn off my television set, those images of mindless violence have become seared, seared into my mind. I watch those scenes of mayhem as young men fight against each other, then smash windows and set vehicles on fire. Sure, we went in under the guise of liberating a country, but now as it descends into what clearly appears to be a civil war, we have to look into our collective soul and ask ourselves:

Is It Time for the United States to Withdraw From France.

[MarkLevinFan]

Maybe he will move to NY!

[angcat]

She was on FOX this morning and she had a big ugly red flower on her suit jacket. She is a mess and a fashion mess also.

[mathluv]

LOL!!! You had me going for a moment!

[MarkLevinFan]

I knew you were going there! LOL!

[navynucmom]

I think Tom Delay has always been made out to be such a cad by the left....and he is tough (on the dims - they don't call him the hammer for nothing) but he does not deserve what they have done to them....he will be just fine though whatever he does.

[MNJohnnie]

Tell you what Hattend. can play semantic games all day long. Yes, you are right. There are NO spending cuts. The Feds NEVER cut they merely reduce the rate of growth. However, DELAY is also right. They went back and CUT $40 billion in Dec from money that had been appropriated. Yes, they merely CUT money they had PROMISED to spend. "Spin"? yes and no.

So to look at the over all budget and scream about Spending is a very simplistic analysis. It's easy grandstanding Talk Radio spin. How much of that Spending is non descresicary Entitlement Spending? How much is Defense? How much is Homeland Security? Border Security? Talking about "Federal Spending" and sighting the most grotesque misspending and then implying that that all the Talk Radio Heads assumptions about Fed Spending are prov en by the parts sited is a logical fallacy. The real world doesn't work the way some Talk Radioheads wish it would. Should Bush tape the veto pen to his hand for the next 2.5 years? YES. Will that solve the problem? NO. Not until people accept that something they LIKE has to be cut, NOT just "those other guys spending"

The fact of the matter is we are a Constitutional Republic, NOT a Presidential Dictatorship. You have to build consensus to get anything done and the Political Consensus for the slash and burn the Talk Radio Heads scream for on the Fed Budget simply is not there. I suspect however the 100%ers will not wake up to reality until they actually lose us control of the Govt again. It's so much easier to scream slogans and pound our chests then actually get things done.
