HOLY CARP!!!

(hat tip Quirt) Article: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0312/73541.html George Will basically tells the conservatives to refocus their energy of retaining control of the House and try to take control of the Senate, instead of trying to elect either Romney or Santorum into the White House. What say you? |

I wonder if what is left unsaid is a potential for a Romney win AND taking back the Senate, which then might usher in at least two years of run amok Republican crap like last time? Because that would be followed by the inevitable voter backlash and the undoing once again of a conservative agenda led by a guy that isn't a core conservative? |

I wonder that too, Kincaid. Con's seem to lately have a knack for stepping on their crank when in power. And it stems from their social agenda. When Dem's do it, we call it *social engineering*. I see it the same way when Con's do it. Pay the bills within your budget, protect the coastlines and borders, maybe build a road or two. Other than that, stay the hell out of my life. Con's are doing well right now when they stick to fiscal issues, which is what everyone is concerned about. We saw what happened to Santorum this week when he started in on social issues. Leave the social issues to the states. Stay on topic with fiscal issues, jobs and energy. |

Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism. We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. | |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

I was mostly referring to lack of budgetary restraint during the Bush years, but would also throw in No Child Left Behind - an act that is antithetical to Conservative ideals. I do agree that on social issues, the GOP would be wise to slide over toward the Libertarian side of things. |

Politicians can't help themselves. They always think they know what's best for everybody else - my theory is that this is their subconscious reason for becoming a politician in the first place. |

Somebody has to take the responsibility to lead and to legislate, John. |

1. Become a U.S. citizen. 2. Run for elective office. Sadly, the Presidency is not open to you, but we'll let you have anything else you can garner enough votes to win. Good luck, and may God Bless. You're gonna need it....

I don't want to tell other people how to live. Well, admittedly it would be kind of fun ordering Americans about - but I get enough of that at work, and to be honest they get sulky and disobedient after a while. |
