<p>“Don’t you think a good start for this would be to stop demonizing the current administration and by extension those who think that the “disaster” that we are now in is better than the true disaster that we would have been in had we pursued a different path?”</p>
<p>So you’re saying we should pretend that failure is success by imagining that there could have been an even bigger failure? I have a pretty good imagination, but it’s not that good.</p>
<p>Good ol’ subjunctive history…</p>
<p>“So you’re saying we should pretend that failure is success by imagining that there could have been an even bigger failure? I have a pretty good imagination, but it’s not that good.”</p>
<p>Only in the world of Harry Reid and his acolytes have we experienced failure. However, there certainly does seem to be an all too-willing level of acceptance of failure coming from the left.</p>
<p>“all too-willing level of acceptance of failure coming from the left.”</p>
<p>Huh? What does this mean?</p>
<p>At least she didn’t</p>
<p>“You know, there’s a saying in Tennesee, I know its in Texas, it may be in Tennesse, fool me once, shame on…shame on…on, on you…you fool me you cant get fooled again”</p>
<p>Might I remind everyone that the Great State of Texas propelled a likewise inexperienced young man into the White House after first electing him their governor. His gubernatorial opponent? An older, more-experienced woman who was turned out of office. </p>
<p>Sound at all like deja vu? And look at how well that decision by Texas voters turned out for rest of this country. Not to mention the rest of the world.</p>
<p>Bush was actually a really good governor. He either lost his mind once he reached Washington, or if Paul O’Neill is to be believed, had been careful posturing for a really long time.</p>
<p>Hey, don’t blame Texas for the fact that the rest of the country fell in love with the compassionate conservative. Take heed: If our current governor runs for higher officer, RUN, don’t walk, to the Democratic primary!!!</p>
<p>A little sample of our current governor’s wisdom, from an interview with Deborah Solomon of The New York Times Magazine. Reporter goes first (wish I knew how to do bold on here!).</p>
<p>Let’s talk about your new book, “On My Honor,” which draws on your experience as an Eagle Scout and champions the values of the Boy Scouts of America, to whom you are donating your royalties. </p>
<p>Yes, to their legal-defense fund.</p>
<p>Which has been fighting the A.C.L.U., to keep gays out of the scouts. Why do you see that as a worthy cause? </p>
<p>I am pretty clear about this one. Scouting ought to be about building character, not about sex. Period. Precious few parents enroll their boys in the Scouts to get a crash course in sexual orientation.</p>
<p>Why do you think a homosexual would be more likely to bring the subject of sex into a conversation than a heterosexual? </p>
<p>Well, the ban in scouting applies to scout leaders. When you have a clearly open homosexual scout leader, the scouts are going to talk about it. And they’re not there to learn about that. They’re there to learn about what it means to be loyal and trustworthy and thrifty.</p>
<p>But don’t you think that homosexuals might also be interested in being loyal and thrifty? </p>
<p>The argument that gets made is that homosexuality is about sex. Do you agree?</p>
<p>No. </p>
<p>Well, then why don’t they call it something else?</p>
<p>FF: There is an overwhelming consensus in the country today that the Iraq war was ill-conceived and poorly executed. It has devastated Iraq, fomented terrorism, killed and maimed thousands of Americans and Iraqis, and ruined our treasury. If Hurricane Katrina qualified as a disaster then the Iraq war certainly qualifies.</p>
<p>voting cows, who, whom…calling on cur to sort this all out, and if he can’t help, perhaps we could call in the pollsters? :)</p>
<p>Forget the cows–dead people vote in South Texas! Always have, always will.</p>
<p>But what is the residency requirement? Do they actually have to be buried in Texas, or would it suffice that they died there, even if there grave is elsewhere? Or what if they died in Ohio, buried in Kansas, dug up and reburied in Texas…then where do they vote? We need rules.</p>
<p>Not exactly sure on the rules. I do know that usually somebody was paying somebody (still alive). Sort of a barter economy deal. Maybe they traded dead votes for cows? Makes a new meaning of “just dying to get to vote in this election.”</p>
<p>“Only in the world of Harry Reid and his acolytes have we experienced failure.”</p>
<p>If you’re talking about the planet Earth, I agree with you. I’m really at a loss to know on what planet the Bush administration could possibly be termed a success.</p>
<p>“Forget the cows–dead people vote in South Texas! Always have, always will.”</p>
<p>Forget dead people. Republicans will make sure that they turn out in higher numbers than dead people to defeat Hillary.</p>
<h1>15. Its too much fun. And its going to be just as much fun with the new Administration and Congress.</h1>
<p>In the mean time, a word from RNCC,
[NRCC</a> probe scares GOP - Patrick O’Connor and John Bresnahan - Politico.com](<a href=“http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0208/8349.html]NRCC”>NRCC probe scares GOP - POLITICO)
Can’t even trust one of your own. And won’t take the advice of those who know.</p>
<p>I want to know if the cows were walking before they got made into hamburger meat. No evidence that anyone has gotten sick yet according to USDA spokesperson. </p>
<p>Hate to be the first.</p>
<p>“Forget dead people. Republicans will make sure that they turn out in higher numbers than dead people to defeat Hillary.”</p>
<p>It’s true - the dead people are voting for Hillary.</p>
<p>Polled cows?
</p>
<p>Aren’t the cows already polled? Why would you want a pollster to poll polled cows? We need armed border collies to keep them unpolled where they belong, in line with them other unpolled.</p>
<p>I can’t believe curmudgeon is missing a whole thread that perfectly meshes the topics of politics and livestock. </p>
<p>What are we coming to? ;)</p>
