3 Against 1

AP:

Republican rivals Fred Thompson, Mitt Romney and John McCain sought on Friday to become the favorite of anxious social conservatives, each suggesting he offered the best chance of thwarting abortion rights supporter Rudy Giuliani.

"This is not the time to turn our back on the progress we've made on the issues that matter most," McCain, the Arizona senator, told a receptive gathering of "values voters." "I have a record that can be trusted."

They are like the residents of the Berlin bunker.

The first sounds of artillery fire have just been heard in the distance.

reesie--when Mommie Magda brings you a little pill, take it. It will help you sleep. Then, just like Mommie Magda says, in the morning you will be leaving for Berctesgaden with Uncle Adolph and Aunt Eva.

They've reached the social value of head lice.

[BreadandRoses]

What have you got against head lice, Jane?

[sarcasticennui]

Not head lice, Jane.

[robertLewis]

I really don't care one iota what the republicans do to each other. I wouldn't give them the headline space.

Looks like livewire just had a brown out.

"Thompson, who acknowledged last month that he wasn't a regular churchgoer, earned a standing ovation and cheers when he said what he would do immediately after being inaugurated: "I would go into the Oval Office and close the door and pray for the wisdom to know what was right, and I would pray for the strength to do what is right."

For God's sake, we don't want a president who has to pray to find the wisdom to do the right thing! We need a president who already has that wisdom.

Let the Social Conservatives, this blackhole remnant of the Dark Ages suck up the NeoCons, so they never reappear from eternal darkness.

[JaneC]

Amen.

Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, walking into a political lion’s den, told the year’s largest gathering of social conservatives that he is “not always the best example of faith” but that their similarities are much greater than their differences.

“Isn’t it better that I tell you what I really believe instead of changing all my positions?” Giuliani told an audience of 2,000 at the Family Research Council's Values Voters Summmit at a Washington hotel. “I believe trust is more important than 100 percent agreement.­”

I think Betty Jo may have been banned again.

You know that the last banning was for threatening physical harm to someone on the blog.

I think Betty Jo may have been banned again.

We can only hope.

Nope. I checked, although gasping for it's last breath, it lives.

You realize, nothing is going well for the Democrats. They can't get us out of Iraq, angering their base. They caved on the S-CHIP program. Wait 'til you hear this. I had a little bit of this yesterday in terms of the Democrats' strategery on this. There was Nancy Pelosi, who's really, really, really taking some hits in the media today over her ineffective leadership on the Armenian genocide resolution, and she sort of faded away in one newspaper story about where she is. Democrats in the House are not happy with her. They have failed to override the S-CHIP veto. They're just having all kinds of problems. You add to it Harry Reid's smear letter, and they're eager to take anybody's attention off of their failures and their ineffectiveness, and bammo! Here comes Valerie Plame's book for 24/7 media coverage just to relieve that. That's another lie. That is as surreal as what happened to me. It's as surreal as what happened to Scooter Libby. She was not outed by Bush administration people. Well, Richard Armitage is in the Bush administration, but he's not sympathetic to the Bush administration when it came to the Iraq war. He was the one that leaked to Novak. He knew throughout the investigation that he was the leaker, and yet he didn't come forward, and Scooter Libby is convicted on a process crime.

[sarcasticennui]

More unattributed c&p spam from lush limpbough.

[Thalia]

Yup.

And things are going reallyt well for Repubs. they can't get us out of Iraq, thrilling their base. They've got a manipulative sleazeball president who thinks he's above the law, tortures people and lies about it, thrilling their base. They deny American children healthcare, thrilling their base. Rush Limbaugh calls a soldier wounded by a suicide bomber a suicide bomber himself too stupid to think and speak for himself, thrilling his base, even sending money. A CIA operative was outed by Dick Cheney and her WMD nonproliferation network ruined, lives put in danger, thrilling their base...

So, treason, war, tyranny...­thrilling their base. Just make sure the Dems don't succeed at anything!

“How could you say that? How could you say she wasn't covert?”

“Well, because she wasn't. I wrote the statute.”

“I'm not asking for your credential­s.”

“Well, my credentials are how I know. I wrote the law. She was not covered by the law.”

So.

The christianists met in DC. What they basically said was, "get rid of Giuliani, or we're gonna form our own flocking splinter candidate, and YOU (the Neo-GOP) will LOSE." Variation of Blazing Saddles, "Nobody moves or the $$@@&&!! gets it," I guess.

So they will hold the GOP hostage unless they jettison Rootie-Tootie and his third wife. Sweet.

See how they think? See how they operate? Directly from the words of the Bible. Yep. Right out of the worse passages of the OT, right out of the worst justifications and faux-inter­pretations of the NT: Hate, bigotry, and authoritarian social dominance!

For my part, I say, Fundies, start your own party, we need a new gimmick to laugh at:

American Christian Homeland Party. Perfect. The "ACHP", sounds like what happens when a drunk is trying to hack up some half-chewed pretzel bits.

Think of the personnel. ACHP Chairman is mAnn Coulter, chaplain is Phred Felpts, and political advisors are Karl Rove, Tom Delay and Newt Gingrich. Lovely.

Let's see:

25% of the Electorate
51% from the Neo-GOP

60% of the vote to Democrats

69 Democratic seats in the Senate.
300 Democratic seats in the House.

3 New Constitutional Judgeships in the Supreme Court.

Revocation of the Homeland Security, Patriot Act, and "Cross wrapped in the Flag" bullshit legislation.

Ugh.

It is amusing that the NeoCons decided to try and win the hearts and minds of the Taliban - the American Taliban, also known as "social conservatives".

As science and knowledge continue to debunk religious dogma, the shrinking population of social conservatives has a choice of either evolving into a more intelligent species, or accepting the fate of the dinosaurs.

Cannibalism among species about to become extinct is not a new phenomenon.

Either way, progressives and liberals can sit back and enjoy the spectacle.

[JaneC]

Well said my friend! How's the trip going?

[HumeSkeptic]

Not bad, Jane. Still in London. Leaving tomorrow. It's late afternoon. Somewhat chilly - at least for someone used to San Diego weather.

[shhhhhhh]

All I'll say is if the Republobots were true to self, Huckabee would be their candidate. If Dems were true to self, Edwards would be their candidate.

The puppet masters are dictating whom should be crowned for the next 8 yrs..

I pronounce here and now, I don't trust "corporatist Hillary and I definitely do not trust "9/11 Rudy", "Incest Rudy", Cheatin' Rudy", or my favorite, "Hello honey, I am giving a speech right now Rudy".

If the guy's kids hate him so much and he's running for president, how the hell could you support a guy that tells his wife they are divorcing during a press conference.

Would he break it to us that we are not the United States anymore by his decision during a press conference if president ?

The polls are screwy and I am suspicious and cynical by nature. Something is not right here when it comes to these so-called "front-runners".

[frappe]

Is it true that conservative Republicans eat their young, too? Of course, there isn't too much meat on that spindly, thin, gaunt body of Giuliani, but I'm sure they'll pick his bones clean nevertheless.

Israeli officials believed that a target their forces bombed inside Syria last month was a nuclear facility, because they had detailed photographs taken by a possible spy inside the complex, ABC News has learned.



Israeli Air Strike Mystery Solved?The Bush administration has steadfastly refused to say anything about the Israeli raid on Syria, or to confirm what was hit. But ABC News has learned of the apparent mole and other dramatic and secret details about the events leading up to the airstrike, plus the evidence that supported it.

A senior U.S. official told ABC News the Israelis first discovered a suspected Syrian nuclear facility early in the summer, and the Mossad — Israel's intelligence agency — managed to either co-opt one of the facility's workers or to insert a spy posing as an employee.

As a result, the Israelis obtained many detailed pictures of the facility from the ground.

Reecie hits the rightwing trifecta yet again.

Stay on topic. I believe it is about the christian right, and their search for an electable candidate.
