Yes, because the moderate republicans are preventing the run-away right-wing train.







:D

Well, I'd imagine that's the exact cost-benefit the Rs are calculating now, which is "how long can we wait before we have to make him the sacrificial lamb, before our own similar conduct gets us all in the shitstorm."

Reading your posts makes me feel better about my own problems. Plus, putting someone on ignore is not a kind act, and I simply will not stoop to it.

Yet you encourage me to do it. Now, is that kind? Wouldn't the kinder thing be to make the sacrifice yourself?

You obviously don't read or don't comprehend my posts the last few weeks.

I read and comprehended, hence my intense disappointment at your knee-jerk Hilary crap in response to a misperception that I was harshly criticizing that jackass "Terri Schaivo's situation is kind of like my being hunted down unfairly on ethics stuff" DeLay.

nicer for New Year!

I am not just nicer- I'm flat out nice, but remember "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." Exodus 22:18

I keep reading this week that the Pope defeated Communism. Which is excellent, really, and makes it ever sadder than he's dead, but it makes me wonder why we wasted all that money on defense in the 1980s, and for that matter why all the conservatives are getting misty-eyed instead of telling the Pope's supporters to get off Reagan's corner (ho).

Apropos of nothing in particular, words of the Pope with particular resonance for constitutional lawyers:

"Fidelity to roots does not mean a mechanical copying of the patterns of the past. Fidelity to roots is always creative, ready to descend into the depths, open to new challenges."

If you read on just a little bit, you start to wonder about that bankruptcy reform:

"If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury." Exodus 22:25

DeLay is only going down if a prosecutor takes him down. He raises way too much money, and has way too much support.

Ahhhh. Money power, marinated in social conservatism. Today's GOP.

Breathe deeply, fellas, and let it sink into your pores.

I originally thought this said "fellate."

There's a joke in there somewhere about the Log Cabin Republicans having more companions these days on the outside of the Big Tent looking in, but an adequate punchline eludes.
