"We conservatives would rather congress not get ANYTHING done than to compromise." If this is true, then the Tea Party will be ineffective as a political force. It will achieve nothing, while the liberal welfare state marches on. Congratulations!
Krauthammer is right. Palin does not act presidential.
I won’t vote for anyone who plays a guitar on stage (Huckabee) or who does one of those stupid “reality” TV shows (Palin). The office of the Presidency was meant to be occupied by a man or woman of dignity, not one who tried to “act cool” to please their followers.
Dignity, manner, and bearing are things that you either get or you don’t. Think of the great leaders of history: Washington, Lincoln, Churchill, Thatcher, Reagan, and ask yourself if you can imagine them playing a guitar on stage to look cool or participating in a “reality” TV show.
It is said that Ronald Reagan would not take off his suit jacket while in the Oval Office, such was his respect for the office. Palin needs to take a note from him.
Good question, and almost unbelievably we haven’t had any complaints, even during the early days when we really got into it with Code Pink. Being a city and all I guess the residents are used to more noise.

I’m not clear on your position, and I apologize if I’m misunderstanding you.
1) Do you think Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons?
2) If not, do you think that the CIA is simply wrong in it’s analysis or are they intentionally feeding us bad information?
3) If they are intentionally feeding us bad information, why?
Excellent, cranked, you just keep that up. Keep on believing the Iranian pursuit of the bomb is all a fiction cooked up by the CIA ... right until that point they set off their first one.
All your post proves is how opaque totalitarian countries are. We had equal difficulty determining when the Soviet Union, China, India, and Pakistan would go nuclear. To this day no one really knows when Israel got the bomb.

I see your point and it is a fair one. Let me restate
The F-16 is not and was not meant as an equal to the F-15. The F-35 is not and was not meant as an equal to the F-22.
For example, the F-16 is less expensive than the F-15, and the F-35 less than the F-22.
The USAF would have been less capable if it had been denied the F-15 30 years ago, and it will be less capable today without sufficient numbers of F-22s
Thank you to Tolerance Sucks Rocks for coming out! He's a regular at the WR FReeps. All who live in the WDC area are welcome to come, too. For that matter, any of you who are in town on business or vacation should try and stop by too. Shoot me a private FReepmail with any questions. Now that the weather is nice it's a lot of fun. Best of all, we serve pizza, snacks, and drinks and make a regular picnic out of the whole thing. The food is on us for the out-of-towners!
