Thanks for the response and in fairness, I do speed read. I scan entire pages and zero in on what attracts me. Sorry for the blunder on my part. I do agree with you on your take of overlooking the substance of the speech tonight. There are many issues overlooked and forfeited to the left, but the war on terror gets my focus. jveritas is a patriot and has done more than anyone I know in regard to helping fight the good fight, so please take a few minutes to look into his work regarding recovered documents in Iraq and how we can use them to remain a conservative republic.

Well hopefully people like us will run the tone in '08, but I wouldn't hold your breath.

So .. let me get this straight .. Steny Hoyer just said that the Dims "support the War on Terror." They just don't believe in, or support "the war."

Unfortunately, boys and girls, that pretty much sums up the Dimoratic Party. They're all for "War," as long as it doesn't require shooting, or stabbing, or anything bloody like that.

Nothing funnier than people who SAY they are leaving, but then keep posting.

You need to remove those blinkers and look at reality.

I have to send you the link of the new pamphleteers when I find it. I think they were on Hugh Hewitt last week. They talked about The Federalist Papers, Paine and things they're re-issuing as pamphlets.

Er, uh. Ping me when you find, of course!

Ooh, that is so gross. I'm so glad I missed that. I think the Guy (loose translation) is a switch hitter mostly left handed.

i almost feel like i'm on du tonight reading some of these posts..

It's pretty damn sad, I think. So easy to hurl insults at a stranger via a keyboard, when it's pretty likely that in person the same people would actually LIKE each other.

Ijust got polled by King 5, the Seattle NBC affiliate, and I thought of those serial callers, and told them I was an independent. I gave Bush all top marks to their negative poll. They had two negative choices and one good for each answer.

Can't you at least be original? That line was already used. Think I'll stick around just to aggravate the likes of you.

You are telling me to be original? Have you had ONE original thought all night? You don't like the President. We get it. There are plenty of other places you can post to your heart's content without insulting people on this forum.

WTH is up with Pelosi's moving mouth."

She's probably sucking on a tic-tac or mint. Looks like she was kind of chewing on it with her front teeth.

Her PR people probably gave it to her to keep her mouth busy so she wouldn't make rude gestures with her mouth/lips because you know she wants to smirk.

I don't know about the brutish thing but Britt Hume did get Webb all wrong. Webb's speech was disjointed, contradictory and full of blatant false assertions. What I've come to expect from democrats.

Agreed. Unfortunately, I think the bar is so low for Democrats that anything that appears reasonable in delivery or substance is now praised. All Webb had to do was avoid a Dean-like scream, and since he managed to do that he's praised.

It's a sad state of affairs when no one in the MSM bothers to actually look at the substance of a speech and make the points you just did.

Must be null and void. I've never heard of Harry. But I do remember something about membranes in Men in Black.

Yet it would not be like us to leave our promises unkept, our friends abandoned, and our own security at risk.

It isn't like us, the people, but it is like the 'Rats, ask any South Vietnamese, especially the mountain people, but also the Vietnamese who were our friends. They were abandoned. The father of a coworker spent years in a "reeducation" camp, and he was one of the lucky ones. And it was the 'Rats in Congress, cheered on what we can call the "Cut and Run media, when there was a Republican President. If they can pull it off again, they will.

You made this statement about Jveritas: "I couldn't care less about his/her popularity, good deeds, etc." That statement told me much about you. If you don't even know if Jveritas is male or female then it is quite obvious that you haven't paid any attention to his works at all. Also, for you to say that you don't care about his "good deeds" says even MORE about you.

IMO, you are a hothead, a disruptor, and are less than valuable on this forum. But hey, that's just my opinion.

I heard Rush Limbaugh today and he was basically for the President heathcare plan and did not see in it an offense against the "conservative principle".

What is that they say about Rush followers, mind-numbed robots? Rush says its ok, so its ok. Rush has always been a defender for Prez Bush. I admire his loyalty. I suggest you read Bush's health insurance plan yourself and make up your own mind as to whether it is redistributing the wealth or not, because it it.

Melanie Hobson was just explaining (on ABC) how the proposed health care tax credit will work also. Those single persons who buy their own health insurance ... pay the total premium, no employer subsidy ... will be able to claim a $7,500 tax credit.

That would be a boon to the self-employed and owners of small businesses.

We pray for President Bush every day. I sometimes get frustrated with him not fighting back at the vicious attacks on him, day after day.

You are right - God has given him an abundance of grace, and that is his strength. Please don't feel sad for him - he is strong, and he knows his cause is just. He will be revered in history.

Thank you for those uplifting words. Sometimes I too need to temper my frustration with him not responding forcefully. But with God's help and grace he will keep this country strong, safe and free.
