I think her strongest point is the fact she's a good looking woman, good enough for <A HREF="http://www.kansas.com/living/fashion/story/294707.html" REL="nofollow">a spread in Vogue</A>. I certainly don't agree with her politics, though.<BR/><BR/>Kris: Rachel IS good, isn't she!!<BR/><BR/>Ashley: You've touched on one of the Great Mysteries of the Ages with your women and losers comment. I've always wondered that, myself.<BR/><BR/>Mushy: It WAS that... for TSMP, anyway. Less so for me, but still a very enjoyable experience.<BR/><BR/>Lou sez: <I>I remember your Great Wall story.</I><BR/><BR/>You might see it again on the front page. I haven't added the photos yet, but I'm thinking I'll do an installment a day after I do. It depends on how it all works out...<BR/><BR/>Point taken on the politics.<BR/><BR/>Sharon: This looks like a classic "agree to disagree" situation. But... how can you equate McCain, a man with a <A HREF="http://www.acuratings.org/2006all.htm#AZ" REL="nofollow">lifetime ACU rating of 82.3</A> with Senator Clinton, who has a rating of <B>9.0?</B> Politics has <I>always</I> been about compromise, until you get into the fringe ideologies, where it becomes "my way or the highway," or worse. I think you know what I mean by "worse." <BR/><BR/>I'm curious: would you vote for Reagan today? Given his infamous 1986 "amnesty?" As John Hawkins notes: <A HREF="http://www.rightwingnews.com/mt331/2007/06/the_reagan_amnesty_vs_the_bush.php" REL="nofollow">even Reagan made mistakes</A>.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-86815593463060024052008-01-30T08:34:00.000-07:002008-01-30T08:34:00.000-07:00Well, I am very discouraged and down. One Republi...Well, I am very discouraged and down. One Republican is just not the same as another and I will not have John McCain shoved down my throat. I am a conservative(probably pretty far right wing) and also a political junkie, I follow this stuff daily and run a political discussion board. I pay attention to this all the time and I WILL NOT vote for John McCain. Never. People can call me all the names they want and say I am shirking my civic duty... but when it comes to electing one liberal rather than another liberal just because one has an "R" after his name does NOT cut it with me. I will never vote for a liberal. <BR/><BR/> Honestly? I would rather see the Dem liberal get in office and mess it up for their side; I just am not willing to see our side embarrass us. Jimmy Carter was pathetic but he led to the election of Ronald Reagan. I am ready to give up four years in the hopes that we can find a REAL conservative in 2008.<BR/><BR/>I am well aware that not many people will agree with me. That's okay.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for letting me rant on my own personal Black Wednesday.<BR/><BR/>~SharonTowandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245494480579308875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-84849467812045448802008-01-30T00:22:00.000-07:002008-01-30T00:22:00.000-07:00I remember your Great Wall story.

You look like a business man who suddenly had a chance to see the Great Wall, and took it. <BR/><BR/>It would sure be helpful if the Republicans quit whining and pulled together. Maybe I should say if everyone in Washington would pull together... Unfortunately, there are some big egos involved.Bag Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885412195900280096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-29232742143439305782008-01-29T22:30:00.000-07:002008-01-29T22:30:00.000-07:00Now that would be a vacation!Now that would be a vacation!fuzzbert_1999@yahoo.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08523386203834736598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-35238350038737314412008-01-29T20:55:00.000-07:002008-01-29T20:55:00.000-07:00I find it very interesting all the rules women put...I find it very interesting all the rules women put on men. 10 things you should never say to a woman. Hopefully most men know what is appropriate to say and when it is appropriate to say it. Some don't. I also do not understand why some women pick losers. Is that the best they think they deserve? Why do they throw themselves at the first guy who winks at them? Sorry i am ranting now.<BR/><BR/>I won't go into politics that will be another rant.<BR/><BR/>It does look very cold in your Great Wall pics. The guard is funny.
