You two are right, however it’s what he says that concerns me dearly. He’s dangerous to our national security....and seems not to get it.

Clinton has no soul, he is empty, just a mirror reflecting what ever people want to see when they look at him. Unfortunately this is enough for many people, and they want him back in the White House.

I’m sorry, but what?

We already know Iran has a nuclear program, that much is true.

But are they about to initiate a nuclear attack? Does Iran have a nuclear weapon ready to fire? Does our intelligence indicate this?

If intelligence indicates the attack will come VERY soon, then Hunter would go forward and stop them and bear the consequences of what Democrats in Congress will call him (like he cares). If intelligence indicates there’s still some time before a nuclear attack, then Hunter might decide to go to Congress.

It’s really not that hard to grasp.

I don’t even remember...talking to you...ever. Are you sure it’s me, and not someone else?

I actually haven’t even used the internet that often, lately.

Guiliani showed he has argued before a jury.
Romney showed he has sold to a crowd.
Thompson showed he can perform in front of a crowd.

Three different approaches.

Each with their own merits.

also notice how Rudy and Mitt keep bringing up Hillary...

they have to beat the drum of the “boogeyman”

neither are conservative....they know their best chance is to keep up the montra of how they are the only ones that can beat Hillary.......

if both parties can keep getting away with “I’m not as bad as the other guy” we will keep steadily marching into socialism.....

Romney got an MBA and JD at Harvard at the same time. I think his IQ must be stratospheric.

State a moral case to a plowman and a professor. The former will decide it as well, and often better than the latter, because he has not been led astray by artificial rules.

Old Bush seemed too old and out of touch, especially when he didn’t know what a scanner in a grocery store was for.

#####

Which you know was media spin. He was being shown a new model, not yet in general use, that could scan broken/scarred bar codes.

Hello, Freeper-since-Feb 19, 2005. As one of the oldtimers, as someone who was freeping during the Clinton years, I can assure you that Mr. and Mrs. Clinton are, indeed, the bogeyman and bogeywoman.

Brownbeck reminds me of Al Gore with his speaking style.

That 5 million came from individuals with an average contribution of $40.

okay... if you must know...I thought your comment to (I think) longtermmemmory about not noticing the shirts was condescending.....

then- as I read on, you mentioned not being really conservative....

then it was just the fact that your posts were just endless....one after another......

I thought maybe your condescention could use to be returned to you......
