		<description>I&#039;m a 20 year old white female, and I don&#039;t understand the (ill)logic that pervades this discussion board...because I hate mccain and his befriending of the enemy ( And yes, liberals are the enemy), I should have vote for the enemy instead? Because more than half of americans  are horrible people who want to take from others to give to themselves, I should join in and do it too? or at least applaud it as the future?  If you ruin free market capitalism here, we will just have to leave and go somewhere else and make it a super power while you become a large welfare nation(tijuana northeast)</description>

		<description>What?? A picture of two police dogs being sworn in?  I thought they spent their days blogging.  Well, liberals do growl and bark here all day long. Too bad we don&#039;t have blog pictures.  Bookman may take a poll to prove that these dogs are totally impartial and prudent in their opinions even if they DID forget to pay their taxes. 

Well, let me go hug my fallen pine tree. It is unhappy because it fell on the maple tree. The maple tree is all broken up over this.  You just can&#039;t keep happiness in 50 mph wind. It reminds me of our current blowhard leaders in Congress.</description>

		<description>Vandy,

Let me see if I have your &quot;analysis&quot; of this past election correct.

You lament that the GOP failed to run a &quot;true conservative&quot; (whatever the hell that means in this world of made up political titles and slogans).

Yet by my count there were eight of them on that stage. (Well, faux conservatives, but you get my drift). And the aged, loathed (at least by the current RNC Chair - HeadRush and his sidekick Mann Coulter) RINO humiliated each and every one of them. From Kansas flat-earthers to California chickenhawks. From the Large and Lazy to the Mormonesque flip-flopping and well-coiffed. From Yankee fear mongers to Arkansas bible thumpers.

And yet all of these &quot;true conservatives&quot; were dismissed by a nation beyond fed up with deadly Republican bunglers and frauds.

McCain was the ONLY man up there with a shred of honor and integrity. And I was thrilled to see him try to reclaim the hijacked GOP from the BushCo acolytes and sycoophants.

And he got beat handily last November. His bizarre choice of Sarah BarraClueless not helping, as it chased off the independents, moderates, etc..

Had one of those aforementioned neo-cons won the nomination, it would have been a landslide for the Uppity One.

But it doesn&#039;t matter one iota now, does it?

The results of the last two national elections?

Democrats/Independents - 61.

Republiconned - 4.

VERY dark days ahead for the hemorrhaging Old White Guy Party of Dixie...</description>

		<description>To TUESDAY VANDY GIRL:

Welcome aboard.  As you will see down the road, I am about as conservative as one can get.  May I make a couple of suggestions?

Take the high road
Force the liberals to debate
Don&#039;t get down with them re: namecalling

Ooo Rah!</description>

		<description>To my liberal friends:

Hey, Jay was asking in this thread what to do about this problem since the pirates are at it again.   

You &quot;liberals&quot; were really getting off this weekend over the splattering of teenage brain matter by the SEALs so why aren&#039;t you commenting on my suggestions for stopping this?  Not &quot;cool&quot; anymore to kill pirates?  Real world? 


a) Arm all ship crews so they can defend themselves.  Fire warning shots at any small boat at 200 yards.  Open fire at 100 yards - period -end of discussion.

b) Set a reasonable limit for those small boats from the Somali shore and take out any boat that violates that limit. If that upsets the local fisherman - that’s their problem. Let them help stop the pirates and then they can go back to fishing wherever they want.

c) Use “decoy ships” often. These are ships that look like sitting ducks for pirates but have a squad of Marines just waiting to burn some ammo.

d) Travel in daily convoys when possible.


I&#039;m waiting?  Is this a go or not?</description>

Things changed considerably during that time.

That said, I don&#039;t agree with the budget. Hopefully, the FY2011 one will be more palatable.</description>
