Yup. It is the loons that vote for obscure third party canidates that sometimes insure liberal Democrats win. Remember the crazy midget in 1992 caused Clinton to be elected?

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

bro, she is in the fray and the VPs job is to be the tip of the spear.
Ferd, I understand that that is typical, but if the embracing of a black man with shaky ties and questionable experience has shown us anything...it is that there are a lot of Americans sick of typical politics and looking to throw themselves behind something different.

Re: Gov. Sarah Palin's acceptance speech

Mike/Stew let me tell you why I am a partisan.

I believe in keeping taxes low on everybody (the rich too). I believe in getting taxes lower for businesses because high taxes force manufacturing jobs over seas, increace the cost of goods and services and reduce the number of people a business can employ.

I believe in putting people on the supreme court who will NOT create legislation out of thin air.

I believe that a person should have a right to both join a union and also to keep a job or get a job without being forced to join a union.

I belive in a strong military and that losing in Iraq is a horrible reality that makes America both weaker and more vulnerable to islamic terrorist attack.

I believe that you cannot make the economy stronger by taking money out of the economy and handing it to the government.

I believe that we must drill for oil in America and cut off the middle east.

I believe that the government spends far too much and needs to stop spending like drunken sailors.

I believe that while the cost of healthcare is too high, the fix does not include socializing 1/5 of the American economy.

I do not believe the Republicans have accomplished all or even most of this, but I do know that ONLY the Republicans are the only ones who can do this.

I am pragmatic enought to realize the main reason these things have not gotten done completely since 1980 when the conservitive movement really formed, is because there are enough Americans that DO NOT agree with me at all.

This is the tug of war.


I am also pragmatic enough to believe that some Republicans (and many recently) who either believe these things or have said they do, have flinced and backed down.
while I believe those people need to be replaced, I do not believe you replace them with someone who will work to prevent everything I believe in from happening.

So, I vote for republicans and will work to get rid of bad republicans by replacing them with other republicans.

I am a partisian republican because I will NOT vote for someone, or find political value in someone who believes the opposite of what I believe.


So, call me a partisian. but dont be bewildered when i dont buy it when a democrat talks about change and being different when they clearly believe in exactly the opposite of what I believe and have said as much.


love you guys.


PS, I am also a partisian republican because voting for Bob Barr will get Barak Obama elected.

that's a nice thought. but you seriously have to make everybody play by the same rules. Barak Obama directly and personally attacked McCain. Biden hit hard on McCain.


to suggest that Palin cannot play by the same rules, is at the least questionable isnt it?
