QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Oct 20, 2007 -> 08:53 AM) Maybe they can test the myth that PETA people could survive radiation and use them for the next experiment. The first 200 that show up to protest instead volunteer. Really, what kind of losers would go around protesting against the torture of animals? Maybe PETA should have been at Abu Ghraib instead of shooting Come on, they're rats for God sake. Of course, like many other US government and private interests, what to do if you can't torture? outsource

QUOTE(YASNY @ Oct 20, 2007 -> 10:55 AM) You're a mind reader now. As is everyone who claims he meant only one guy, or only one group.

In concept I agree. Then look at all the competing interests around the world. Is it possible to achieve something?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 19, 2007 -> 02:21 PM) The "conservatives" want a true conservative candidate, who also has name power. No one outside of a select few really gives two craps about the guys in the race now. The two guys leading the race are both guys who are way to centric to satisfy that wing of the party. Thompson gives them name recognition and a record to go with it. Personally I do think you are reading too far into that statement to make it into something else convient. All of the candidates seem to be trying to corner the "one with God" thing. Its rather annoying actually, as if you know anything about Christianity, you aren't supposed to be doing things for recognition, it is supposed to be between you and God. If religion is a system of beliefs, isn't it important to know what those are for a candidate?

Speaking at a gathering of Evangelicans linked I can see why some people here are impressed. He seems to be garnering the hard core religious types. Perhaps cleaning up the airwaves, slowing the porn industry, cutting back on abortions, might be a step in the right direction.

Is there value in a forum for all the world's nations?

That is so cool. They were just down at my University for HESTEC.

But if they drop their private insurance, they will have more money to spend and that results in billions of tax dollars.

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Oct 19, 2007 -> 12:01 PM) His whole issue of whether or not he deserved a Purple heart would have been greatly diminished if he had actually thrown his away in protest, like he pretended to do. if he had not held ontp the real thing for some reporter to see in his office, no story. Exactly. The value is in what they do with the award. We all learned that the military hands these out like band aids without much fact checking. It is a shame that in the effort to smear and disgrace Kerry they caused every Purple Heart to be questioned. Only the most partisan GOPerheads will believe Kerry was the only one to fraudulently receive those awards. Only the most partisan will believe that all those other medals were earned. So how many were faked? 40%? 80%? 99% I guess we'll never know. I use to believe the military had honor and integrity and would not fake awards. I believe the Swifties should have focused on his actions after serving his time. But instead some veterans felt the need to smear a fellow veteran. Ironic since the other candidate used family influence to avoid serving in Vietnam. It was one of several things I did not like about Clinton, and Bush.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 19, 2007 -> 08:43 AM) There's your 2006-2007-2008 Democratic Partiy in a nutshell. Thanks for the soundbite, Bohner...

I get the S&C feed. Some of the buys are excellent.

6.) Advertising dollars funneled through and from Republican donors. Even markets like this which is 90% Dem have a plethora of conservative talk. Give them air time and it makes a profit for the stations regardless of ratings. 7.) All the hatred for the "liberal media" and a desire to know the "truth". 8.) Older people listen to more radio than younger. 9.) as Kickass mentioned, better talent, hands down, not even close. It's like community theater and Broadway.

I was playing with the search function and found a couple tid bits. Back in 2004 I was suggesting Bush should run with McCain and in August of 2005 posted this For those that have said McCain is some recent facination and only a passing fad.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 13, 2007 -> 11:33 AM) I've hung around a Tigers board on occasion. There are some smart posters in there. Also, my favorite team site (non-Sox) used to be Bat Girl. People here will probably hate me for that. Anyway, I thought she was bloody hilarious. But I guess she is sort of retired now. I traded a few batgirlll emails. She is very funny, and a good baseball fan.

He managed to stick around there a lot longer than anyone else would have. I think he's about ready to hit the broadcast booth then retire.

Pfft, actors, what do they know about running the country?

I wish I was amazed.

QUOTE(NUKE @ Oct 18, 2007 -> 11:45 AM) So it's ok for the left to smear the military while someone on the right gets taken out of context and he's the devil? I understand your views perfectly now. Thanks. Nope. I'm consistent, It is not ok. And that doesn't matter if it is a Dem or a Rep or an "entertainer" on radio. I find it especially distasteful when it is for personal gain. But I know how you like situational virtue. How you like to draw distinctions from perfect conservatives and the leftists.

It seems to me that this state by state process does not serve much value.

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Oct 18, 2007 -> 11:26 AM) Since when is exposing the truth 'smear'? Indeed.

QUOTE(NUKE @ Oct 18, 2007 -> 10:34 AM) Not hard to see really, in fact it's a perfect fit. The Swifties were out to expose John Kerry for his 2 faced conduct during the election cycle. He went around lying to the United States Senate during the Winter Soldier Investigations of 1971, bringing, to steal a phrase, a bunch of phony soldiers up there to testify about atrocities that they not only did not witness but in fact did not exist at all. His actions served to smear every man and woman that served in that war and that's exactly the type of person I have no use for whatsoever. So it is ok to smear soldiers you don't agree with and destroy the credibility of military honors? I guess it's ok as long as there is political capital to be made for the GOP. Support the GOP faithful Troops!!

Yet you supported the Swifties. I don't get it.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 18, 2007 -> 08:34 AM) I get a good chuckle every time I hear the term "leftist". Its so absurd. I think I'll give up using the terms GOP or Republican, and go with Rightist. It is funny. I especially find it funny coming from Nuke. I picture him yelling names and sticking his tongue out while in full gear.
