“Sure, it’s sad that someone has to die...”
I wouldn’t at a funeral for UBL, Kim Jong Il, Ahmajutjob, Chavez, Castro, Calderon, or McCain.
What a fine fix we’re all in.
Agreed.

Do ostritches really have teeth like that?-—
Those are special hybrid ostriches, for biting people that are allergic to dogs.
And the democrats will run Chelsea. You are too funny! : )
That would be so cute, wouldn’t it? :)
I just broke my first smile since this lousy development.
Btw, has Mitt actually made the “announcement” yet?
“Another fine mess.” That was a Nixon line.
It is so hard to believe the reality that John McCain is the GOP nominee, there is a strong feeling among many, that something is going to happen to prevent it. We’ll see.
“Another fine mess.” That was a Nixon line.”
No. That was a Gator line. Nixon stole it from me. ;>)
Ba-da-boom, ba-da-bing!!
:-)
Yes. I heard it on Hannity. For his part in all this, I will never listen to Medved (who here is on opposite Hannity) ever again.
” (in a political sense “unearned” since not indicative of support) “
Rudy & Mitt earned the most donations: 60m & 53m, respectively. McCain follows at 41m.

Easier to do when you have the money to jumpstart the operation, essentially fund the fundraising. Hunter spent most of his early donations trying to fund an operation to raise more.
I think you’re forgetting about the fact that the very conservative Heritage Foundation endorsed RomneyCare. You’re also forgetting that we’re talking about a conservative governor trying to work with a very liberal legislature that eventually included changes.
There’s good reason why he was endorsed by conservatives such as Weyrich, Tancredo, Mark Levin, and Laura Ingraham. His vetoing in-state tution, driver’s licenses, and benefits for illegals and his pushing for a state marriage amendment a few years ago (which was voted down by the liberals) were some of the reasons as to why they did.
I think we have to look at this tactically rather than emotionally.
Romney was always a second stringer (mccain was barely above kook paul).
That said, tactically which decisions create an environment for the furtherance AND ADVANCEMENT of conservatives in the Republican party.
ie a Romeny who speaks pro-life will be far more useful than a Giuliani who has/does activly advocate for abortion.
Nah... too rational and does not lend itself to scandal. No way does Mitt have the nation’s best interest at heart; after all he is a billionaire and his grandchildren are made of acrylic produced by Bain Capital.

Wrong. A quick google shows that a visiting research fellow at the Heritage Foundation liked the plan (and worked on it with Romney — surely he was paid for his work). More spin by the Romney campaign that got out there if it’s “common knowledge” that the Heritage foundation endorsed RomneyCare.
And as far as “compulsory health care,” car insurance is compulsory. Do you think that’s a bad idea too or do you believe people should pay for their own car insurance?
Romney is right — it should be the same thing for health care. Why should the taxpayers pick up the tab for the uninsured who use emergency rooms to get their free health care, which means more hospital closings and eventual bankruptcy?
Besides, I think you’re confusing it with government-run health insurance paid for by the taxpayers, or “HillaryCare.”
Please remove me from your ping list.
Cost was estimated at 1.8 billion to the taxpayers of Mass. for RomneyCare . . . it’s $400 million over estimates this year. All the Mittwits (and this is the first time I’ve used that term) have become socialists now regarding healthcare because they had to defend their man — which is the problem with RINO’s generally. I’m using the term Mittwit because you all have been bamboozled into defacto support of Hillary Clinton’s health care plan through your defense of Mitt, including the talking points they will use next time they try to socialize our medical care.
