Collinsworth was an excellent WR in his heyday. He should have enough self-repect not to defer to any of these loudmouths. let ex mediocre qbs like salisbury do that.
Agree completely about Ron Paul and Immigration. He should have seized that issue and combined it with his end the empire speeches, and his modest pro-life beliefs. Might have been a winning combination. He is against illegal immigration, favors enforcement of the laws, but he's not very loud...
Re: McCain's "pro life" credentials:
Its an obvious point, I know, but Polscraft their image to fillniches and win elections (not that that is all bad).
McCain knows he cannot win by having a neo-con or a "moderate" republican as VP. Thats why he chose Palin (picking a woman also has a...
Suppose McCain wins...what incentivewill he have to placateconservatives?
Given his age, he's planning on being a one-term president(I believe he has said as much), so there is no reason for him to be kind to conservatives to get elected in 2012.
And Palin? Do you think that once...
A random robber doesn't waste time beating someone to death...this seems to be the act of someone who resented her beauty, talent, wealth, and--perhaps--her whiteness.
Election day will be interesting,
I have said that whatever happens we are screwed, and I stand by that.
But you can look at it another way.
*Whatever happens, some unpleasant overrated person who deserves to suffer a humiliating defeat will suffer a humiliating defeat.*
In that...
Yes, I Iove the old latin mass, too. With the Indult expanded, you should be able to find one that meets weekly in your area.
The Vatican 2 American church seems committed to a perpetual 60's mentality: whites bad; minorities good;gregorian chant bad; folk music good;native-born americans...
Cole Hamels had a great post-season. One of the best pitchers in baseball. Phillies victory was body blow to the caste system.
Lidge, Hamels, Utley, Werth, etc. Clutch players.
I should use "media" rather than "press", but the list would include:
Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O' Reilly, Michael Savage, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham, Bill Kristol, National Review, The Weekly Standard, Fox News, etc.
I find it hilarious that Republicans are attacking Obama as a "redistributionist" and a "socialist", *as if they are rock-ribbed free marketers.*McCain is a redistributionist anda socialist.He justvoted for one of thebiggest redistributionist bills in history--the bailout bill, which transferred...
I hope Cole closes it out in style. Go Phils!
Sport historian. I remember those days, or at least the early seventies, when the WS ended by Oct. 15th. I wish we could return to those days. It's just too cold and too dark now.
We should definitely enact the reforms that will ensure the end...
I would not say thatFox News givesPalin a fair shake,Fox is more of an extremely partisan counterweight to the anti-Palinism of the other networks.
No network is being objective at this point. We have now a war between many partisan news hacks. Bill O Reilly or Keith Olbermann--take your...
yes, it is strange that neither candidate has been grilled on the most crucial and revealing issues--BO's birth certificate and college records problem; and McCain's real POW record (included the sealed copies of all the broadcasts he made for the communists while in captivity), his possible...
I like Palin much more than I like her main critics (whom I loathe, actually); but hey this is politics...if you can't stand the heat, lady.....You received a flurry of very positive press whenyou werefirst announced. Now that that has faded...you andyour supporters are whining "unfair". Is...
No doubt about it, we are in sad shape, but cheer up--what replaces the current USA might be something much better and more in tune with the original vision of the founders. We might restore the articles of confederation, or start a secessionist movement. Scotland has, Quebec has,...it's very...
Very interesting and revealing...the bottom line is that this "conservative" could not say no to being a heartbeat from the presidency, so she's more than willing to toe the progressive line on some issues--if that's what her handlers wish.
