We are all sinners. God never made a perfect human being. What was it Jesus said about casting the first stone?

[FairOpinion]

You know what they say: "It's better to stay silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt".

I don't know what it is with some people...

The only thing I hope is that maybe they just get carried away by the anonimity of posting and are not really that way in real life.

[Wolfstar]

Although we are strangers to one another, PhiKapMom, permit me to sincerely say I love you for your dedication, decency and hard work on this forum. Seeing a ping from you always lifts my spirits.

Speaking of blockheads...

BTW, there are those out here in the rest of the country that believe Florida is one big joke, too, in case you haven't noticed it.

Hey, I live there!

See there, at least one redeeming value. :-)

Here's why Arnie is good for the CA Gop, he can pull in money, something the CA GOP has been pathetic at over the last few years. It's a win-win for the CA GOP , it's sad that people can't see that.

[Fred Mertz]

What you said.

I want to see him as governor because I think Californians are collectively a corrupted, Godless, selfish, contemptuous bunch who need to learn some hard lessons in life. I think a blockheaded, half-nazi, pro-death, liberal, pro-homo hollyweird enviro is absolutely perfect for them.

Thanks for outing yourself A+Bert!

"Michiavelli was "realistic."

And he is still quoted after all these centuries because he was a dunce?

2) becoming a magnet for disgruntled Conservatives and others.

Whoever do you mean? *blink, blink*

Caught the last little bit of Steyn on Hewitt the other day--boy was I mad to have missed most of it. He's got a great voice (very sexy) and a great mind (very sexy too).

It isn't widely known, but Perot was on Hillary Clinton's health care task force and was, in fact, slated to get the information processing piece of that pie if the legislation succeeded. There is no question whatsoever that what Perot did in '92 had everything to do with getting Clinton elected to suit his (Perot's) business purposes, and nothing whatsoever about anything else. He tepidly ran again in '96 more out of ego and the fact that he was still caught up in that monster of his own making, the "Reform" Party. By 2000, although nobody cared anymore, he endorsed George W. at a time when it looked like Dubya was going to win a big victory. Perot probably did so in the hope that Dubya would not seek any kind of regulatory or government-contract revenge on Perot's companies.

[PhiKapMom]

That was really sweet and a neat way to end my evening on here! Yours is the last post I am reading for the night -- going to get off here feeling great!

Thanks much!

[Howlin]

the most venomous, hate-filled drivel I've read in a very long time.

You must not have been reading his posts this week. UGH.

[Wolfstar]

Real scary thought if they are that way in real life. Pity their poor kids.

[onyx]

You're right! They're more concerned with who they perceive as RINOS than they are with demoRATS! Hard to argue with logic like that!

[redrock]

Arnold would make a good Governor.

Perhaps his Degree in Economics will come in handy.......

This just in: the Marquis de Sade, long believed dead, emerged from the basement of Anton LaVey's home in San Franciso yesterday and filed for governor on the Republican ticket. When asked by a reporter whether the Marquis' more notorious and peculiar pecadilloes might make it difficult for some Republicans to vote for him, one angry FReeper replied, "Who cares? He knows how to pinch a penney and will whip the state budget into shape--you just watch! Fundamental morality has no place in modern politics unless your name is Bill Clinton. Pro-gay? Pro-abortion? Anti-gun rights? No problem."
