Ms. Dole hasn't set foot in NC for 35 years. You know how we just love carpetbaggers from DC down here ~
Now, back to the salt mines for me...
Little Johnny was sitting in class doing math problems when his teacher picked him to answer a question. "Johnny, if there were five birds sitting on a fence and you shot one with your gun, how many would be left?"
"None," replied Johnny "cause the rest would fly away."
"Well, the answer is four," said the teacher. "But I like the way you are thinking."
Little Johnny said, "I have a question for you now. If there were three women eating ice cream cones in a shop, one licking her cone, the second biting her cone, and the third sucking the cone, which one is married?"
"Well," said the teacher nervously, "I guess the one sucking the cone?"
"No," said Little Johnny, "the one with the wedding ring on her finger, but I like the way you are thinking..."
I am having a bad day - terrible head cold - and this $hit ain't helpin'.
you took my next thread title right out of my mouth. Wow
We Have to Talk and define our agenda.
There it IS! Maybe "statist" would be a better word, but maybe not... What we have is an arbitrary government.
An omnipotent sovereign parliment, not confined to laying down general rules, means that we have an arbitrary government. What is worse, a government which cannot, even if it wished, obey any principles, but must maintain itself by handing out favours to particular groups. It must buy its authority by discrimination...--F.A. Hayek, Law, Liberty, and Freedom
Many of us differ on the best way to turn this around, or even if that's possible.
Hey, I didn't know that Darth was Peter from the "Brady Bunch" :P
Seriously, it's too bad. He was a good guy. He used to explain Sci-fi movies to me.
Really. My goodness. I could have swore she was visiting her home State regularly to see her family.
More pearls of wisdom from Darth Insidious...
"Am seeing a lot more vitriole aimed at Dashle and the Democrats than I am seeing an interest in giving North Carolina the best possible leadership. That's been the tune of the GOP - whether statewide or national - during this entire election cycle. If that's the way they're gonna be, I'll gladly "punish" the GOP. And if the NC party leadership is so clueless, did anyone ever consider that a Bowles victory would be a GOOD thing? That it might justify an enema to bleed out the stagnancy that is "country club Republicanism" in this state?"
The GOP leadership, including Bush for meddling with our elections before the primary, deserves more than just a little spite. They need humbling. I'll gladly cast my vote for Bowles if that's what it takes to bring it to 'em.
I've no problem with seeing the destruction the Republican party. If it's gotten this arrogant, it SHOULD be destroyed, and let something better take its place.
The Republicans are on a power trip as much as the Democrats. And anyone who could support EITHER of them so blindly is not a patriot, but an opportunist.
That the Democrats hate the Constitution is no basis for assuming that the Republicans love it, either.
If the Democrats are evil, the Republicans are making no apparent effort to be defined as "good". The absence of a big fat "D" next to a candidate's name does not/can not mean that that candidate is necessarily better than another.
It's only force-fed if we swallow.
Punish the GOP for their stupidity: vote Bowles.
Are the Republicans so desperate to seize power, that they refer to any and all dissent as "dolts"?
That settles it all the more in my mind: the Republicans may desire power, but they do not *deserve* power.
