Do we have a Chicken-In-Chief about security do we have a Chicken-In-Chief with a PC horrid angst as being perceived as opposed to an Islamic anything?
I've also noticed that "violence" is even WH PC preferred over that terrible "terrorism" t-word.

    I think that proposition has been disproven by the vote results of Alan Keyes, Allen West, and JC Watts just to name a few.

    That's for the advertising - how they make their money.

    I remember that - John Denver and George Burns. The precursor to the Evan Almighty movie, but similar concept.

    His promoters claim only he can win by bagging the black vote.
    Curious to see if black skin would vote for black skin the same way.
    It at first sounded like a useful strategy for a real conservative, as I am sure Dr. Carson is, but lately I've been having my doubts.
    Moochers are in the equation.

    You caused me to think of a movie when I was a reporter back in the 70s called "Oh,God!" The God character was pretty laid back.
    I saw it on one of my four TV stations at night and the next day in a soda fountain/pharmacy I asked a preacher I knew if he had seen it.
    "You mean that sacrilege show?" he snapped and walked off in a huff.
    I recall watching him walk away and thinking I have one more reason never to be a Southern Baptist. (That's another story).
    Just wait for that yellow line to go by at the start of the video. I don't know what that's about.

    But he was a novelty. Dr. Ben wouldn't be. 1) Already had a black Pres, and 2) R's never get any credit for that in any case.

    You never know.
    Comrade Ovomit came out of nowhere.
    I can always shift support behind another "good 'un."

    Me neither. God created all the physical laws, so evolution is merely one of His constructs so as to ensure self-perpetuation. They say He rested on the 7th day. I think He may still be resting, watching his handiwork, amused at how silly we are.

    I don't see that he could ever get sufficient support to come out on top, but one never knows. There are certainly worse.

    "Father, in the name of Jesus Christ" is how I often start a prayer due to Jesus saying in scripture "I am the door."
    Jesus also called God "Father."
    I'm not after all these years going to start with Mother, Mom, Mama or Mummy.
    Pagans at that time had a lot of goddesses I can still name. I read Edith Hamilton as a teenager.
    I was fascinated with the Greek gods and all those great stories.
    By the way, I have no trouble being a Christian and believing in evolution.
    Guess I'm complex.
    I once overheard two people talking about me.
    Person 1: I heard he's crazy.
    Person 2: Yeah, crazy as a fox.
    That's when I was a small time newspaper reporter for 7 years.

    You've got to remember who the writers were and the context of the times. All authoritarian figures (well nearly all, some, like Cleopatra, were the rare exception and she only because she was the daughter of a Pharaoh) were male. The fact that God was captured as "Father" and a male is totally understandable in the context of the culture.

    Then please get at it and help to nominate a candidate that is acceptable. As much as we'd like a "pure libertarian" type candidate, that candidate will not win, not in the current environment, anyway.

    You don't turn a battleship around on a dime. It has to start with a small adjustment and force needs to continue to incrementally keep that going. This is not a situation of "a little poison" as much as it is "turning a battleship."

    If Mitt rises up to the top again, I'm voting for the Libertarian. I'm done with holding my nose when forced to vote for "the lesser of two evils" instead of someone I actually like..

    Hey, allosaur... some months back I used the acronym OMG and got (gently and humorously) chewed out here...
    And I'm an atheist!

    Of course, a lot of people don't trust Wikipedia because... well, because of their beliefs about the veracity of the content... all content... all the time... all subjects...
    LOL.
    This one we might let slip by as 'ok.'

    It looks like Romney is gearing up again. He's not my first pick, but if he runs against Hillary he wins my brass ring.

    I was addressing MelissaA who apparently seems to think that Ms. Lerner can shoot off her mouth to a member of congress.

    But if you like, "Beg Pardon".

    He's not a RINO or a Marxist.
    I'm pretty sure I'd vote for Perry. Think I should feel shaky about him?
    I recall him having "brain freeze" when asked to name a federal department he would like to shut down during a debate..

    Well, in truth, Scott is a politician, in the good sense of the word. The alternative is to be a dictator, and that he is not.
