Yes, that has the ring of truth to it.

FWIW, this is what I read:

Dubina, an appointee of President George H.W. Bush, is not considered to be as reflexively conservative as some of his colleagues. But he's been under particular scrutiny because of his daughter's outspoken opposition to the health care overhaul. U.S. Rep. Martha Dubina Roby, a Montgomery, Ala., Republican elected in November, voted to repeal the health care law.

Marcus and Hull were both tapped by President Bill Clinton to join the court. But Marcus was also previously appointed by Republican President Ronald Reagan to serve on the Florida bench after several years as Miami's lead federal prosecutor. And Hull, a former county judge in Atlanta, is known for subjecting both sides of the counsel table to challenging questions.

Best advice I've gotten is similar: "it doesn't matter what you say, it's how you say it."

They're still searching for a decent Republican presidential candidate.

I don't know, but even the National Review was disgusted with the 8 R's tax pledge last night. http://www.nationalreview.com/corner...-d-williamson#

If that's your assessment, US treasuries.

A new Little Caesar's commercial helped me distinguish between Dems and Rs.

the commercial claimed that every Little Caesar's branch made it's own dough each day.

A Dem would say, "That can't be true. Let's investigate and require corrective advertising if we're right and it is false."

An R would say, "Why bother making fresh dough when the rest sucks anyway?"

think about it
