Not a concern. It is the Republicans who will depending upon the
short yellow bus voter next year, and "Mike" has a reserved seat on
that vehicle.


My prediction, for what it's worth, (which isn't much) is as follows:

Mike Huckabee will be the Republican nominee.


Gosh, I hope so! What a simple-minded rube he is. We're living in a
world made far more dangerous by having a president who knew and knows
nothing about world policy/affairs, and you think the Republicans will
nominate another world policy/affairs numnutz? Maybe he'll learn a
little about Pakistan sometime soon.

Jeeze, I wish you'd get some new material, just to make it interesting
a least. Your writers on strike also?

Eisboch :-)





What do you want me to post? That Huckabee's a nice guy? He seems to be
a nice guy. He ought to be a pastor again.


Hillary should go back to Arkansas and bake cookies.

Obama should go back to Chicago and do some more illegal land deals.

Edwards should go back to North Carolina and chase some more ambulances.




It's the liberals. It's the ACLU. It's Clinton. It's Monica. It's the
"climate of permissiveness". It's France. It's the liberal media. It's
Clinton's dick. It's Hillary. We never could have known they'd fly planes
into buildings. "No actionable intelligence". They didn't tell us to do
anything. O'Neill's lying. Clarke's lying. General Shinseki's lying. The
Union of Concerned Scientists is lying. Our own weapons inspector David
Kay's lying. Wilson's lying. John Dean's lying. Newsweek lied! CBS lied!
Everyone's lying but us. We had to lie. We never lied.

Plame outed herself. Her husband outed her. The liberals outed her. No one
outed her, since everyone already knew her covert identity. Rove had
nothing to do with it. No comment.

It's the libs trying to pull Schiavo's feeding tube. It doesn't matter
that DeLay pulled his own dad's feeding tube. "Culture of life". It's
Janet Jackson's boobs; it's the Statue of Justice's boobs. Reading the
news might cloud my judgment. It's the "decade our government...blinded
itself to our enemies". It's the homosexuals wanting to marry. "Restore
honor and dignity to the White House". A decision to go to war wasn't a
decision to go to war. "No actionable intelligence". It's the pledge of
allegiance. They're taking God out of America. Osama didn't tell us when,
how, where, and by what means he'd attack, and he didn't leave a
forwarding address. The 9/11 panel is biased against us. Saddam = Al
Qaida. Saddam = Al Qaida.

Chalabi's an honorable man and I believe everything he says about WMDs.
Chalabi's a crook and he passed secrets to Iran. Chalabi's the liberals'
fault because they didn't shoot us when we started using his
"intelligence". Chalabi? I don't know any 'Chalabi'!

It's just a few dead-enders. They'll be gone when we capture Saddam.
They'll be gone when we capture Saddam's sons. They'll be gone when we
hand over "sovereignty". They'll be gone when Iraq has elections. They'll
be gone in 12 years. They'll never be gone.

We fight them in London so we don't have to fight them, er, uh, well,
can't get fooled again!

Bolton didn't lie! He just knowingly gave incorrect answers under oath.

Aw, so what's another ISLAMIC STATE in the mideast? It's not like Bush has
made it a home for terrorists or anything!

No one could have anticipated that a category 5 hurricane aimed directly
at New Orleans would have destroyed it! No one could have anticipated that
they might need federal assistance quickly! Of course no one's in charge
of accepting the generous aid offered by other nations -- isn't that the
mayor's responsibility? Being a judging supervisor for the Arabian Horse
Association is ample experience to head FEMA! It's the mayor's fault! It's
the governor's fault! It's Howard Dean's fault! It's CBS's fault! It's the
Monica Crime! Ted Kennedy killed Mary Jo! Libtards killed Terry Schiavo!
Wah! Wahhhhhhh!

It's all these former staffers hawking their books. Money never corrupted
anyone. "I'm a uniter, not a divider!" It's the stem cells. It's the
feminazis, the intellectual elitists, and the ecoterrorists.

It's Cthulhu. It's the martians.





Finally you are getting knowledge.

Random query.

If they call the indian nation, Native Americans do they call the
indian nation in Canada Native Canadians?

Whoops - PC Police just reminded me - First Americans. Same question
applies though.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Nations

The local Mik'Maq float back & forth over the border as if citizens of both
countries. In fact quite a number actually join the US Marines rather than
serve in Canada's military.


Canada has a military?

Who 'da thunk it?

Do we? I mean, we are a nation of immigrants, but most people I know

If we don't, then why do hospital admitting forms include a question
about what your ethnic heritage is?

Around here we have Polish/Irish/Armenian/Greek/Italian American clubs
which restrict membership to those of that heritage.

Even better - why would a person of 50% mixed heritage - say Obama -
choose to identify himself as black as opposed to white?


Plessy v. Ferguson comes to mind.


I understand your comment as it stands, but it's still not relevant.

Why, in this day and age, would a person of 50/50% race composition
call themselves one or the other?

Say it wasn't Obama - say it was Jane Doe who was 50% Asian/50%
African.

Some Japanese refer to such combos as "kokujin," or something like that.
I think it has negative racial overtones, something like the "n" word.

I thought you were a Plutonian-American, whereas your fishing buddy is a
Uranus-American

Beats me, but perhaps, it's the difference between nationality and
ethnicity. I'm American with an Irish bloodline, but in my case, I've
never referred to myself as Irish-American. Others may choose
differently.

You are an intolerant racist.




Racist? What *race* did I single out there, braindead boy?


Those that you aren't a member of Harry. We have years and years of your
racist posts. You seem to have a need to categorize people. People are
people why do you have state their race at every turn.

Let's see:

"Modern" no racial implication
"evangelical-infested" no racial implication
"but" no racial implication
"Jesusless" no racial implication
"GOP" no racial implication


Since there are no racial implications in my statement, there is no
racism in it.


Nice try. It may clear your consience but it won't clear your name.

I do have little tolerance for self-proclaimed "Christians" who do not
follow the teachings of Jesus, but that's called "disgust at their
hypocrisy," not racism.


Wasn't it you who said that Jesus was a nobody just a couple of weeks
ago? Why do you give so much weight to Jesus's teachings when he was
just another guy talking about irrelevant stuff 2000 years ago?

You should have gone back to high school.


You can do better than that!

Just like Carl Rowen. Shot a kid for swimming in his pool in DC, where

No.


In point of fact, Rowen was tried. The case ended in a hung jury, and he
wasn't retried.


So the charges that he committed a felony were true.
