15. LOL - in politics it is good to be a northern European - but in some urban areas other groups

can get elected!

I was just making fun of the GOP almost always avoiding the electability question that our Democratic Party often has what with people with names from all over the world being members of the party.

4. Of course. They know nothing about him, other than he's a General
and he's on the Teevee and does that surge thingy, and is "kicking ass" or something. What more do those little lost brain-damaged authority-seeking sheep need to know?

21. I know all too well being from the state that the tow you speak of come from.
However anyone wishing to ride the coattails of this pResident into the WH is just on the pipe.

No. Way. No. How.

That is probably the plan anyway. They have their fascist all dressed up as a democrat.

7. Fred Thompson's in trouble. Maybe they'll do a cage match.

I think there's some series money to be made. MKJ

warning, this answer is fueled by cynicism and wine. And, not nearly as much of the latter as one might wish, upon perusing the day's events.

edit, spelling s to "event"

18. I hope they're happy when they get President Petraeus' draft orders.
Gutless freeper fucks will quickly become anti-war.

I doubt if anal cysts or shitting their pants will keep the cowards out this time.
