Let's recall, this was not our reacting to an offensive by another country. This was a 'pre-emptive' strike where we chose to take our troops, put them at risk, and spend oodles of money. (Was the war self-sustaining, brief, and urgently necessary?)<br /><br />Maybe more people would be aware of this comment if it wasn't for the mensa-award winning 'known unknown' comment.<br /><br />This man was seen by the GOP as a leader despite his Nixonian ties and inability to motivate or handle a large governmental department. Also, one that reflects poorly on our great state.<br /><br />Maybe it'll be Rumseld-Palin (Todd and Sara!) in 2012Crazy4glfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07825258902135831151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309311177399464085.post-84126784431490882912010-04-24T18:55:27.647-05:002010-04-24T18:55:27.647-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Crazy4glfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07825258902135831151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309311177399464085.post-31391629310736186422010-04-22T11:22:22.367-05:002010-04-22T11:22:22.367-05:00hi Carl,

The rank-and-file vote on their social values. And the party hacks work for the corporate interests.<br /><br />-BB-Barney Baxterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994042251401940234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309311177399464085.post-31082679082850121362010-04-21T08:22:14.891-05:002010-04-21T08:22:14.891-05:00I don't necessarily agree that the Tea Party p...I don't necessarily agree that the Tea Party people are the root of the problem.<br /><br />I suspect the root of the problem is that the Ronald Reagan vision of conservatism has run its course.<br /><br />The movement has either 1. won the debate, 2. conducted failed experiments, or 3. the policy proposal is so radical it won't ever get implemented.<br /><br />Republicans have nothing to stand for. They exist as a group of people who are outside the Democratic Party coalition. But they don't know what they stand for.<br /><br />So they say things they hear from other people who are like them. But they don't apply much critical thinking to evaluate whether these things make sense.Carl Nyberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600144635930031384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309311177399464085.post-51875925199679933492010-04-20T07:16:40.328-05:002010-04-20T07:16:40.328-05:00When you have a 300% increase in Democratic Precin...When you have a 300% increase in Democratic Precinct Committeemen in Grant Township, you know the Democratic Party is growing by leaps and bounds in Lake County.LC Truthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01014760432579737714noreply@blogger.com
