It worked out well, didn't it?

I appreciate the thread too, Howlin. I stayed in tonight to watch this and it was nice to have everyone here to share it with.

The media began attacking Cheney from day one to make sure he never gave a thought to being President.

The media destroyed Quayle's chances, Allen.......

We cannot allow the media to decide who our candidate will be.

Does anyone have the transcript of Hastert's speech in the Rotunda?

I knew you were going to Washington, D.C. :)

I have not been since age 5 -- twice in my lifetime seems reasonable.

I thought his eulogy was masterful and so well delivered. It really is too bad that the media has tried to destroy Cheney. The American public has been the loser in not being able to hear more from him. He is a brilliant man whose talents have been buried by an unmerciful unrelenting media. I couldn't help but make the comparison of how we in America bury our dead presidential leaders with pomp, ceremony and respect. Then look at what happened to Saddam a cruel earned death by hanging. Things in Iraq could have been so different if Saddam had been a real leader who cared about his people and not a barbaric dictator.

How tragic that the latest Taft, Governor of Ohio, turned out to be such a crook. He destroyed the republican party in Ohio.

Funny you should say that; just these last few days I was thinking about all the things I watched alone because there was no FR.

I can remember staying up for what seemed like 3 days when JFK was killed.

And nobody else was up!

Boy, you are exactly right. Personally, I think we need to mock the pundits and anchors. Who are they? They don't know anything more than we do!

There is a word for what the "True Conservatives" are looking for..."Utopia" and they will never find it

You say that and I think of two unpleasant things...the left's secular utopia and the Taliban :)

We have class in this country. I pray we can put another classy leader in the White House following George W. Bush.

And, let's get serious about exterminating the vermin!

And many of the current newsboys and girls aren't old enough to know what we know.

Thinking earlier about last night's thread on the evil doer and then the majesty of tonight's honor for President Ford.
