Yes, it was short and sweet. He said, If I run again Dick Cheney will be my running mate.

[Darlin']

Why, thank you very much. :)

[Darlin']

I see someone gave the the exact quote. He was emphatic.

[Freemyland]

He can't run again, but I guess his wife can.

[Darlin']

LOL. Notice that I didn't really call what I do "running". That would be dishonest. :)

[rwfromkansas]

Exactly.....LET'S GET THE FAIRTAX!!!!

[Willie Green]

The availability of insurance likewise facilitates commerce and benefits everybody. If an insurer's risk is undefinable and open-ended, as in the case of terrorism, then it is impossible for him to offer insurance.

I have no inclination of legitimizing your preposterous assertion through discussion.

It is just as disingenuous and absurd as Klinton's multiple definitions of the word "is".

"Terrorism Insurance" is blatant rape of the U.S. Treasury by the Insurance Industry and deserves condemnation as the transparently corrupt ploy it actually is.

[hchutch]

In other words, you don't want to discuss it because you're young to bet your butt kicked.

Why can't you be honest and admit it?

Fabozz has made a point that is quite valid. Or are you presuming high-speed rail and other infrastructure will NOT be vulnerable to terrorist attacks?

[Willie Green]

In other words, you don't want to discuss it because you're young to bet your butt kicked.

No, I bluntly, but politely, expressed my position in plain language that is still in conformance with forum decorum.
It's totally irrelevant to me what may be posted by liars, cheats and thieves as they claim "victory" in "debate".
My trust is with honest conservatives who similarly find this misuse and abuse of taxpayer's money to be utterly despicable.

[Timocrat]

OK that's enough. There's more slobbering going on over Dubya on this thread than in a kennel full of Black Labradors. Not only that yours is the sixth mention of the divine Ann without the mandatory photos. Everyone knows the rules. Any further mention of Her name without photos and it'll be all Helen Thomas all the time!

[MadIvan]

Don't you threaten me, mate. I am an English football fan. ;)

Reaching for the cheap lager

Helen Thomas photos indeed.

Regards, Ivan

[rwfromkansas]

Judicial reform?....IMPRESSIVE.

[hchutch]

I happen to disagree. Because a bullet train at 300 miles per hour is going to be a very nice target. If you think a regular train derailment is bad - wait till you see what a command-detonated bomb would do to this.

No private company would take that risk unless there is coverage. And it does seem fair to set rules for terrorism iinsurance nationwide - regulating interstate commerce is a power for the Federal government, last time I checked.

[Willie Green]

If you think a regular train derailment is bad - wait till you see what a command-detonated bomb would do to this.

What? The same number of people dying 9 nanoseconds faster?

Maglev/highspeed rail is no more susceptible to terrorist attack than any of our other trains, subways, highway tunnels/bridges, roller coasters, Wal-Mart stores, etc. etc. etc. etc.

Take your Chicken Little sky-is-falling scare tactics and shove 'em up your greedy tax-pilfering Clymer.

[lsee]

He kills his opponents with kindness, until they wake up one day and discover that somewhere along the line, without them realizing it, he kicked their a$$es.

Yeah, today on MSNBC with Tom Brokaw, Tim Russert said something to the effect that Bush was like a "steel fist in a velvet glove"...I thought he had admiration in his voice when he said it.

Check this out...Guess what the press took away from the press conference today? Bush Will Stick With Cheney in '04

And the Dems are shaking in their shoes already...LOL!

[rwfromkansas]

What are their comments?

[hchutch]

No, a higher-number of people dying those 9 nano-seconds faster. You're talking higher speed, more potential and kintetic energy. It's called BASIC PHYSICS. Ever hear of that?

And we ain't just talking infrastructure, we are talking construction jobs (gee, fly a plane into a skyscraper) as well for starters. Not to mention the folks who transport the construction materials from factory to construction site.

So take your condescending attitude and shove it up YOUR Clymer.

[Willie Green]

Go to my reply #250 on this thread.

Well I hope you're not one of the "Living Dead" fans of Manchester United we read about over here. Are they first cousins to the Democrats over here - get a leave of absence from the cemetery on game day ( election day ) then its back in the old wooden overcoat?
