A question everyone must ask is how much does this candidate owe to friends that will be placed in important positions because of contributions or work within the campaign. Many of these people who are great in campaigns, are horrible administrators as we have found out.

The only guy that clearly does not like fund raising (but also sees it as a necessity) is McCain imo. And then you have to determine if his policies align with yours. This is really tough... making these types of assessments and decisions.

Pgardn,
Johnny McC hung his hat on the success of the "surge" and took a bogus walk through the "safe" market in Iraq. He also came out as a big defender of Imus, and you see what happened there.
Johnny's campaign is tanking, he's laying off campaign workers. It's just a matter of time before he's gone. The refug's have just about given up on 2008. What are they going to run on? Illegal immigration?
They're politically bankrupt and the emporor has no clothes.
Too bad.
Let the war crimes trials begin...furgttabout ipeazement.

Speaking of "illegal immigration" and wall building, who was that dead president that demanded of Gorby, "Tear down this wall!"?
Right...he's dead...too bad.
And speaking of karma...
Far too many today.
Is today's scandal about Wolfowitz and his "girlfriend"?....Nah, the World bank can do with out him....SHOCK AND AWE!
Or is it Rove? Hey, what about all those missing e-mails? Barney ate 'em???
More karma.
Nope, today's scandal d'jour is Harlan K Ulman...the "shock and awe" architect.
Talk about karma!

Now, where is Mark Foley when we really need him? Did he really decide to become a priest?
I wonder what his take would be on the chocolate Jesus if he consulted Exodus 20:4. Is it ok if it's made out of wood, ivory, plastic hanging from a rearview mirror?....heck, I vote for whipped cream and blueberries.
Anybody hear from Haggert lately?
WWPRD (What would Pat Robertson do?).

Stay tuned! there's always tomorrow.

Yikes!
It's still today.
Sad to report that there isn't a "Plan B".
Heck, there ain't a "Plan H" nor a "Plan R" either.
The Refugs are just keeping on, and as Vonnegut would say, "and so it goes".
I really coundn't possibly make this up.
You just have to read it for yourself....

All right now...some of you will say, "Hey, DTS, how do we get out of this mess?"
Ok, I'll tell you.
Follow the logic.
Do retired people like to gamble?
Have you come across old folks with nothing better to do than hang out at OTB, or Turning Stone, or Vegas, or even the grandstand at Finger Lakes?
Sure they do!
Ok...and do you think that our brave troops miss their families while they serve a "noble cause" in a far-away land?
My guess is that they miss grandma and grandpa too.
Now, is social security and medicare in trouble?
That's a "no brainer".
So here it is...the solution to the "War in Iraq".
We take all the old folks that miss their grand-sons and grand-daughters and send them to Iraq, where Halliburton gets a "no-bid" contract to construct a great casino right outside the "green zone".
No penthouse suites...the underground bunker would be the perk.
And the ride from the airport to the casino would be a very nice gamble, like betting against an IED going BOOM.
The reunions with families would be worth the risks.
If a few of the old folks get lost, too bad. They've already lived long enough.
It would save those "leeches" from draining social security and medicare from those that really deserve it. Maybe the ones at Walter Reed could have the saved funds directed to their needs.
Yup...you get the picture now. Let's turn Iraq into a gambling destination for the old folks. They have the time.
A plane flight to Iraq would take about as long as one to Atlantic City, right?
Thsi is a solution that makes sense!
Write your congressmen!
Iraq....the new "GAMBLING MECCA"!!!! REUNITE FAMILIES!!!

Katie, Katie, Katie!
Yikes!
I'm crushed.
Though I have a picture of you as my screen saver in your cheerleader outfit...you know the one, legs spread, panties showing...nothing to hide...
Well, with all the talk of "ho's" lately, my head is spinning.
SPINNING! I tell ya, sweet Katie. I never knew.
You were my "girl next door". So sweet, so....???
Yup, I thught you tipped your hand when you grilled the Edwards family when they announced their cancer battle. I thought you'd have a bit more sympathy, considering your late husband and what happened to his rectum to bring about his demise.
So what if you have a new "boyfriend", twenty years your junior. Does that entitle you to continue spreading????
Lies, I mean....

Katie, I'm crushed I tell ya!
I hope to see ya at 54th and 8th sometime soon.
Katie, do you want to negotiate what a Franklin could buy me?
I'm sure you'd be worth it.
Spread em baby! Spread em.
I'm totally devastated, but I look forward to all the "good times" you continue to provide.
See ya on the street, Katie babe.
Shucks, now I need to change my screen saver.

Looks like the ship is filling up. Time to throw some of the useless cargo overboard. When the conservatives see it, they're not letting it bring down their "grand ol' party". Maybe Duby will toss him a life jacket, but it seems that Abu Gonzolez is being shown the plank.
