“Hind skin is better than foreskin”
Yeah...no male would like a circumcision without anesthesia!
True, he’s a lib ... but NOT a “progressive” ... I’m thinking there is a big difference. But you know, Joe Wilson (YOU LIE) voted for TARP. So none of the records are “stellar”. He’s a Democrat, and he will have voted for some of the Dem crap ... HOWEVER ... he is walking away. And I’m betting that Health Care is one reason ... he got sucked in and is disgusted with himself. We’ll probably never know. Just interesting to think about.
Interestingly, I went out for dinner the other night with a friend who is a major lib. I hadn’t seen him in probably six or seven years, and he was in town.
Now, I have studiously avoided politics with him, because he isn’t someone I like to see riled up...he is a soft spoken, polite gentleman, but politics changes him.
During dinner, politics came immediately to the front, and it was kind of humorous and incongruously alarming to hear him talking about “armed revolution” to take the country back!
My thought was “Take the country back? Heck, he voted for this guy in charge!” and then he talked about why can’t our legislators just compromise and get along...
It is true, to liberals, compromise means “surrender your principles and do it my way”.
To conservatives, they understand that “compromise” in certain situations is the rough equivalent of liberals saying “I’m only going to put it in a little bit...”
I’m taking that.
Out of 100 Senators the democrats select the absolute furthest one to the left who is an rabid ideologue and then wonder why there isn’t centrist consensus...well, if you had a centrist government maybe there’d be a chance for that...but as it is, the democrats have created an unworkable concoction.
“a good guy and from the wing of the Democratic Party from the mold of JFK.”
That is remarkable this day and time.
It is. Well at least inside DC, it is why I like and trust his honest assesment of things.
