It is still too early and our eventual candidate has yet to be identified.

Probably, but isn't it fun to be here and kick it around? What else do I have to do on an overcast, cool, Maryland morning? Church comes to mind, but I'm beyond redemption.....

:-D

Loved that video, have sent it out to my email list.

re: Edward's ranch


I'd like to see his parents house, I hope it's bigger than his... and they don't live in the 'other' America.

Biden claimed his idea for Iraq was to partition the country, separating the factions. The only problem is this idea was two years old and had been rejected as unworkable when Biden all of a sudden claimed it as his own. Just one example.

[rodguy911]

Hunter is really impressive!

[AliVeritas]

Where are you listening? Send me a link.

Yes, personable, a good speaker. Seems solid on the issues that count PLUS has a son serving in Iraq and is an Army Ranger and Vietnam Vet himself.

[upchuck]

I just read Alas, Babylon a couple months ago and loved it, passed it on to a friend who also loved it.

Fantastic book, huh? I've worn out several copies.

[edpc]

Not to mention history has shown partitioning by outside nations doesn't seem to keep the area calm.

"You may be able to watch Senator Brownback disembowel his 2008 Presidential Campaign live on national TV today. IF, as rumored, he comes on and announces he will support the Democrats gutless Iraq Resolution Brownback is finished."

Brownback is simply counting on any viable Pres. candidate to be what I refer to as a SPORK (a combination spoon/fork that they throw in your take-our order bag). These are politicians, like Hillary, who want to play it both ways. Note that those Senators who voted against the Gulf War were not hurt by their vote. Being a SPORK is safe.

[Bahbah]

Duncan Hunter comes across as manly for the simple reason that he is.

>>So again I say "why is the question relevant" of course I answer my question exactly
>>as you say to divide the conservatives/republicans/religious right.

YES! I have been saying this for what seems like months, somebody else gets it!

>>I think the Mormon issue will do the
What Mormon issue? (grin)

>>It is irrelevant whether they consider a Mormon part of the Christian faith or a separate
>>cult or religion or whatever what is important can the person do the job he is running
>>for and has he have the best interests of the country at heart.

Let me re phrase your statement this way:

“It is irrelevant what faith or religion or whatever what is important can the person do the job he is running for and has he have the best interests of the country at heart.”

There, fixed it.

NewsBusters about Brit Hume on FNS.

Brit Hume celebrated a personal Boxing Day of his own. On this morning's Fox News Sunday, the FNC's DC managing editor landed some heavy body blows on Chuck Hagel and John Kerry.

Alluding to Hagel's self-righteous soliloquy about the war in Iraq, Hume unleashed this right cross:

"Poor Chuck Hagel, who is getting grandiloquent about voting for a legislatively meaningless Senate resolution and calling it courage. It makes you kind of sad."

Later, Bill Kristol waxed rightfully indignant about John Kerry recent's disgraceful display. Said Kristol: "there was a day when United States Senators did not go abroad to call the United States an 'international pariah'."

Responding, Hume wryly unloaded this haymaker on the Massachusetts senator of baleful Gallic mien: "Is it really fair to John Kerry to argue, Bill, that when he's in Switzerland he's away from home?"

I am still wondering if the VP was responsible for her chewing the cud. He normally has Werthers Originals or toffees with him to suck and I noticed he was sucking as he normally does during this speech. The wicked side of me wonders if he gave her one of his toffees LOL.

[AliVeritas]

Please, Hillary was fundraising in kindergarten... or in Arkansas at least.

[MNJohnnie]

Yep that makes it even funnier reading his fund raising letter. He sells out every Conservative principal today the same day he chastises Republicans for not up holding Conservative Principals in his fund raising letter! You got to read it too funny.

[STARWISE]

And don't forget the chopper landing pad .. ;)

[snugs]

I suspect you may well be right.
