Hello, I'm Ronald Reagan. No, I'm Ronald Reagan. Me too! Me too! And so in the Reagan Library the Republican debates begin. Will the real Ronald Reagan please stand up? ~Snip~ ~Snip~
~Snip~ Liberal moderator Chris Matthews, in a "surely no one actually believes the first verse of the Bible" tone, asked, "I'm curious. Is there anybody on the stage that does not believe in evolution?" While the news reported three, after a round of calls, the forth, Duncan Hunter (not Ron Paul), was among those who stood for Creation: How about this? Let's have a debate with the men still standing. Let's do it on Fox, and let's substitute Chris Mathews with anybody else at all.
.....................................Giuliani's not even close to Ronald Reagan, a pro-lifer who actually liked the Christians in the Republican Party. When Giuliani was asked if we belong in the party, he said that "large groups" were "always nice," and quickly moved on to something else. I think "individuals" are "always nice," but let me quickly move on to vote for someone else. Then he hid behind the courts saying they should have proceeded unchecked in starving Terri Schiavo to death. All this coming from a guy who couldn't think of a single weakness he had – maybe they should have asked his ex-wives. No, we're a "large group" who won't be voting for you Mr. Giuliani: please sit down.
.....................................And what about Terri Schiavo, who Romney agreed should be starved to death? She was a Catholic, too. As Ronald Reagan said, "Facts are stubborn things." Sit down, Mr. Romney. I don't care whom you've paid to say nice things about you; you're disqualified.
.......................................McCain then said, "in retrospect" the judicial activism that starved Terri Schiavo to death was something that should have gone unchecked. Translation: "A disabled woman was denied even a drop of water and I'm sorry I tried to do anything about it." If they treated prisoners of war as badly as they treated Schiavo, John McCain wouldn't be here. Sit down, Mr. McCain, without even bringing up your campaign-finance "reform" gag rule, you're disqualified.

Because the state Department of Children and Families had refused - month after month - to move mentally ill inmates out of jail and into hospitals, Pinellas County Circuit Judge Crockett Farnell in November charged then-DCF Secretary Lucy Hadi with contempt, fined her $80,000 and threatened her with jail. Jeb Bush called it "a judicial temper tantrum," but just after taking office, Gov. Crist correctly made sure that the Legislature cleared the backlog with nearly $17 million for 373 treatment beds.
For making the state do its duty, Judge Farnell on Friday received a judicial independence award - named for the judge in the Terri Schiavo case - from the Clearwater Bar Association. According to The St. Petersburg Times, Judge Farnell gloated: "All I've got to say is, eat your heart out, Jeb Bush."

Bump to post 185 - great insight in that article, and I’ll spread the word about it to other pro-lifers and conservatives!
“Let’s have a debate with the men still standing. Let’s do it on Fox, and let’s substitute Chris Mathews with anybody else at all.”
That would be great. My very conservative brother got so disgusted with the questions that he turned the debate off.
Politco.com has people working for them that chose some awful questions that were submitted by their readers, and the better questions, that readers voted for in higher numbers, were not chosen. I know because I kept monitoring the Politico.com site.
