I won't bother to debate legitimate, as previous discussions already provide that I believe we had a legitimate reason the moment the cease fire from gulf war I was violated.

I think it's funny that when we can't take dems at their word....they were only showing support for military action to sound like hawks for political purposes but of course wouldn't have done anything of action on their own. It doesn't matter what they say or how they vote, it's only our perception of them, because they certainly wouldn't have done anything similar.

You can replace the word "dems" and replace "repubs", and it would have just as much legitimacy.

I like what Russel Roberts of NPR said about the stimulus package.....

Yeah, but I still want my $600 (which my payroll service has consistently left me owing the IRS each year since I've had my current job).

It would be nice to call it a wash this year (as should happen every year). Where's my check??

Indeed. But what I find funny is that there seems to be support because you know they won't do what they say. I honestly get upset with the people I vote for when they don't follow through on what they have said they will do.

9/11 9/11 9/11 Hitler Hitler Hitler


Goodwin's brother needs a law.


On a similar note, I saw a truck with 2 bumper stickers the other day:

1) 9/11 - Never forget. Never forgive.
2) Jesus Saves.

Now, what's wrong with this picture?

I'm rethinking McCain.

He does have a decent rating from the American Conservative Union. There are just a few key issues for me that I majorly disagree with him on.

Think i'll still vote for Romney in the primary, but I am leaning toward being more comfortable with him as the nominee.

I also think Hillary will win the dem nomination. 7 pt lead in the most recent national poll with Super Tuesday a scant 5 days away.

Yes, but that poll includes Edwards, at at a high enough percentage that it makes a major difference. If Obama gets more than half of the Edwards vote, it becomes a VERY close race.

scaeagles 01-31-2008 09:46 AM

That is true. I think it will be interesting to see who promises Edwards more as far as consideration for VP, promise of a nomination for AG, whatever. I think he's holding his endorsement for the highest bidder.
