Not a concern. It is the Republicans who will depending upon the

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.

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

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,

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

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

Beats me, but perhaps, it's the difference between nationality and

Brett during the first quarter. Fans in Green Bay were shocked when this
announcement was made, but Mrs. Favre assured the fans that, "Hey, I know
this game. I live with Brett. I have taken several road trips on the team
plane. I've gone to the pre-game meal. I know a lot of the Packers. I've
played around with a lot of the Packers in the back yard. I've tossed the
football with them, and I know what a slot right 60-Prevent-Slot-Hook-And-Go

inGreen Bay, 50% of Packers fans are excited, motivated, looking forward to
the big game.


All right, you think that's ridiculous? Let me reread this. In a shocking
announcement today, Mrs. Hillary Clinton announced that she is running for
President of the United States because she knows Bill Clinton and has lived
with him, and she was there on a lot of trips to China and around the world,
and she really cared about kids for 35 years. She's fought and she stood up
for kids, and she's tried to fix health care, and she knows fifty percent of
the American people say, "That's good enough for us."


Which of the right-wing Republican idiots, lunatics or incompetents are
you support, Bill?


Mitt "I was against flip-flopping until I changed my mind" Romney?


Rudy "I am *not* a crook even though the evidence indicates otherwise"
Guiliani?


Mike "I know Jesus, so I don't have to know foreign policy" Huckabee?


Fred "Yes, I am Dead" Thompson?


Ron "I'm even crazier than I sound" Paul?

The only reasonable possibility on the GOP side is John McCain, and he

That's a choice that is generally made for a person of mixed race by
society at large.

Remember the mixed race kids in school? If they had African Amercan
features, fairly dark complexions, etc, they were normally accepted
far more readily by black students than by the whites. Yeah, I'm sure
there were some blacks who took exception to the mixed kids declaring
themselves "black", but it would not amount to the same degree of
rejection likely to be encountered from some white students if the
same mixed kids claimed to be "white".

AP- Green Bay Times - Tue 12-21-07


The Green Bay Packers delivered a shocking announcement today.. Their
starting quarterback this Sunday will be Mrs. Brett Favre, who will play for
Brett during the first quarter. Fans in Green Bay were shocked when this
announcement was made, but Mrs. Favre assured the fans that, "Hey, I know
this game. I live with Brett. I have taken several road trips on the team
plane. I've gone to the pre-game meal. I know a lot of the Packers. I've
played around with a lot of the Packers in the back yard. I've tossed the
football with them, and I know what a slot right 60-Prevent-Slot-Hook-And-Go
is and I know how to avoid a corner blitz." So they polled the people
inGreen Bay, 50% of Packers fans are excited, motivated, looking forward to
the big game.


All right, you think that's ridiculous? Let me reread this. In a shocking
announcement today, Mrs. Hillary Clinton announced that she is running for
President of the United States because she knows Bill Clinton and has lived
with him, and she was there on a lot of trips to China and around the world,
and she really cared about kids for 35 years. She's fought and she stood up
for kids, and she's tried to fix health care, and she knows fifty percent of
the American people say, "That's good enough for us."


Which of the right-wing Republican idiots, lunatics or incompetents are
you support, Bill?


Mitt "I was against flip-flopping until I changed my mind" Romney?


Rudy "I am *not* a crook even though the evidence indicates otherwise"
Guiliani?


Mike "I know Jesus, so I don't have to know foreign policy" Huckabee?


Fred "Yes, I am Dead" Thompson?


Ron "I'm even crazier than I sound" Paul?


Duncan "The 2% in the Polls Solution" Hunter?


The only reasonable possibility on the GOP side is John McCain, and he
isn't crazy or right-wing enough for the GOP delegates.


Maybe you can write in Zell Miller. He's fine until his daily sedation
wears off.

No bitch at Calif Bill because he launched a right wing troll, but you
single out the first moderately left responder?

Apparently you don't know many folks on the extreme left. Harry would
be perfectly at home as a precint captain for the D party out this
way, but not considered radically left in any sense--- Perhaps it's a
matter of perspective; we continue to reelect "Baghdad Jim" to the US
House and rather obviously the majority of voters think he's a fine
choice.
There are some regions in this country where Jim McDermott would be
more likely to be lynched than elected to congress. :-)- Hide quoted text -

Apparently you need to expose yourself to folks who are actually
moderate. I challenge you to give us an example of one, just one,
right leaning view Harry has. I could name hundreds of the opposite,
hardly moderate. You need to expand your input if you think he is a
moderate representation of how Americans outside of Seattle think...- Hide quoted text -

Obviously in favor of owning handguns, as he does. That's a position
more typically espoused by the right than the left.

Not at all; you're not a criminal.

But for anyone who is, and who wants to try a bit of B&E or home
invasion, I have a 12-gauge Beretta semi-automatic shotgun loaded and
ready for home defense. Since I don't hunt, I've removed the plug from
the magazine tube and the shotgun now holds six shells instead of the
hunting legal three. For backup, I have a SIG X-FIVE loaded with 19
rounds of 124 grain Speer Gold Dots in the mag and one in the pipe, and
my wife has our Ruger semi-auto target pistol "racked and ready." Either
Friday or Monday, as soon as the waiting period is over, I'll be picking
up my new pair of Ruger Vaqueros.

Despite my "liberal-ality," I am a damned good shot.

Our local sheriff and county prosecutors are not very interested in
going after residents who use lethal force to ward off criminals who
attempt latenight break-ins or home invasions.

Wow, and this is the guy that thought handguns should be illegal. I
don't own any guns, and have never felt unsafe. I wonder what Harry is
doing that he is creating his own little armory.
