Democrats still name their annual banquet the Jefferson Jackson Dinner.

[...] the 150th anniversary of the Civil War in 2011 is certain to focus more attention on the Galena, Illinois leather merchant [...]

Better than a Chicago, Illinois feather merchant.

, Newt got “Palinized”, long before Sarah ever did

You know, R69, I hadn't thought of that, but you are 100% correct.

And come to think of it, so did Clarence Thomas.

[Walrus]

Pretty good analogy.

[xzins]

Thanks, Walrus.

Maybe rightfully so? I think Newt’s just another run of the mill politician. His spinning on the beck program yesterday was a hoot. If he’s the nominee,I will vote for him while holding my nose once again.

[xzins]

I read the transcript. I didn’t think it was spin. I thought it was exactly the way he thinks.

For example, he sees a difference between Obama’s mandate and his demanding that a hospital patient have a means to pay the bills before he walks through the doors.

(So do I, but that’s not the point.)

Well then, according to the way he thinks, you must have health insurance whether you want it or not, correct? He likes big gubmint as long as it’s his.

[xzins]

Nope, he believes you should have insurance or post a bond IF you’re likely to be taken to a hospital.

[xzins]

I suppose I’d be fine with anyone who feels like signing some kind of affidavit that demands they never be taken to a hospital. That person should not have to have insurance or post a bond.

So, it’s not about “gubmint”. It’s about folks paying for their own bills. That’s a very conservative thought.

[kickonly88]

He can twist it anyway he wants but if it’s a law, it’s government.

Oh, thanks for your service to our country.
