I have never said Delay was convicted of anything...He is under indictment, skipped town so he would not be defeated at the polls, left his district helpless to get him off the ballot and has now ensured it will go democratic. What a great guy!!! He could have stayed and fought for his seat, you know. Like Sherwood, your other republican idol. Or Ney...who isn't running for reelection (as a convicted felon, a tad tough), but won't resign....principle, principle. It is everywhere. Let Laura ride in front. you and the dog can ride behind the President in the lemming express. Gotta change, Pro...gotta read the tea leaves....when the militia have more authority than the government and can take over towns at their whim, shia on shia violence.....the leaves don't look too good for "stay the course".

1. Michael J. Fox can make any ads he wants to. He seems intelligent and certainly he has studied the stem cell issue first hand... 2. I apologize. I don't know if you are a neocon or not. I do know that most of the neocons have been proven so dead wrong on Iraq, that I can see why you might want to avoid being tagged with that moniker. I still remember the terrific soundbit from Willaim Kristol, of Weekly Standard fame, back in 2003 when he said that there would be no Sectarian violence in Iraq...that it had no history of such tensions and that to think otherwise was "pop psychology". And people still listen to that guy! Why, he is a Fox all-star. 3. Are you sure there is no role for you in Iraq? Maybe with Halliburton? I know you say that your place is here because this is where God put you, but isn't that kind of an easy way out? If you signed up for Iraq then that's where you would be....and God would have put you there. Isn't free will still a valid concept? We're not all just dust in the wind, are we. 4. McCain will reverse his course on the war (carefully) the day after the November elections. He has laid the groundwork for this already. Using the Baker Commission as his scapegoat, he will fall in line, along with Warner, Hagal, Graham, Brownback, Snowe, et al....Mr. Bush will be isolated within his own party... 5. The democrats aren't even commenting on Foley anymore. They don't need to becasue the incompetent, inattentive republican leadership has handed them the high ground on morality. Amazing...but true!! Now poor Larry Craig is outed and he was a good conservative too. Deserves better. 6. I can't remember what other of your posts I have not answered, but I'll try. I'll try...

Graham is in the Warner, Hagel camp....common sense conservatives who don't have blinders on...and don't blame the democrats for everything that is wrong with the world ____________________________ WASHINGTON Under election-year pressure to change course in Iraq, the Bush administration said Monday there are no plans for dramatic shifts in policy or for ultimatums to Baghdad to force progress. Just two weeks before the Nov. 7 elections that will determine whether Republicans retain control of Congress, the White House tried to calm political anxieties about deteriorating security in Iraq. Both Democratic and Republican lawmakers are calling on President Bush to change his war plan. "We're on the verge of chaos, and the current plan is not working," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said in an Associated Press interview. U.S. and Iraqi officials should be held accountable for the lack of progress, said Graham, a Republican who is a frequent critic of the administration's policies. Asked who in particular should be held accountable _ Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, perhaps, or the generals leading the war Graham said: "All of them. It's their job to come up with a game plan" to end the violence."
