Poor Davey, couldn't figure out that I was making a statement about the Republican party's lack of *actual* political leadership. Also Davey doesn't understand that Limbaugh is only an entertainer, if you are brain dead. Otherwise he is merely an idiot with large following of super-idiots, Hannity is Ann Coulter with a penis, and Glen Beck is clearly a pyschopathic nutcase, who will be outted as a pedophile in due time, I have no doubt.

See http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Winston_Churchill under "Misattributed Quotes". It wasn't Churchill at all, and, in fact, one of the sources in the above article (reproduced below) says it is unlikely Churchill would have said any such thing. From the above article, the quote actually is " If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain. According to research by Mark T. Shirey, citing Nice Guys Finish Seventh: False Phrases, Spurious Sayings, and Familiar Misquotations by Ralph Keyes, 1992, this quote was first uttered by mid-nineteenth century historian and statesman François Guizot when he observed, Not to be a republican at 20 is proof of want of heart; to be one at 30 is proof of want of head. This quote has been attributed variously to George Bernard Shaw, Benjamin Disraeli, Otto von Bismarck, and others. Furthermore, the Churchill Centre, on its Falsely Attributed Quotations page, states "there is no record of anyone hearing Churchill say this." Paul Addison of Edinburgh University is quoted as stating: "Surely Churchill can't have used the words attributed to him. He'd been a Conservative at 15 and a Liberal at 35! And would he have talked so disrespectfully of Clemmie, who is generally thought to have been a lifelong Liberal?"" Tim Lysyk |

He's gotten my votes and my support since I was 18, and I could give a rat's ass if you agree.

To dismiss him as an idiot demonstrates a lack of character and level of stupidity all the money you can muster won't help you overcome, David. Sad, like I said..... Tom As sort of a joint reply to you both... First, Louie...Joe Biden has become a modern public figure and the VPOTUS, so his every word, letter, email, phone call and fart is subjected to "sound bite scrutiny" by every dip**** who managed to get a press pass and further "analyzed" by every dingleberry with a blog or other 'net outlet who managed to read the aforementioned "scrutiny." And no, no real reporter/journalist has any interest in the minutiae of his every utterance and move. So, um, big ****in' deal - he's human and occasionally makes human mistakes. That said, Tom...I haven't bothered in the past, nor do I intend at this point to do any in-depth research into Joe Biden's entire life. I'll take your word that he is a more-or-less honest pol (at least as pols generally go). And from what I've seen, he seems to be basically that as well as reasonably sharp guy. That said, one particular issue I have with him is that _he_ said - not a "surrogate"/shill/"spokesperson" - that _he_ didn't think Obama was qualified to be Prez, as well as other statements in a similar vein. He also said, basically, that he and John McCain were the only two people running that were fit to be elected. Yet, when Obama called, he joined up. We can debate the accuracy of those statements Obama being qualified (or "ready," IIRC), but I think we can agree that assuming Biden was correct/accurate/knew of what he was speaking and Obama wasn't ready to be Prez in mid-to-late 2007, a few more months of technically being a first-term US Senator while mostly campaigning for the job he wasn't ready for wouldn't likely make him (or anyone else) ready. I have no idea of why he decided to join with Obama - personal ambition, a genuine desire to help, or whatever reason, nor will I make guesses in this context. And really, I don't care why anymore than I care about him occasionally letting a clanger drop. It's done - he's VP, Obama is Prez, and if Obama wasn't ready before, he will be as "ready" as any person in 2012 - the job may not "lend itself to on-the-job training," (IIRC, pretty close to Biden's words) but he'll have gotten it regardless. At that point, the only question will be, "does he deserve/merit another term?" And I'd hope we would agree that it is simply too early to tell. TC, R |

Once again, it's about personal character. RDean brought up what I was about to: Biden said at one of the debates between the Dem canidates that Obama was not ready to be president, that he lacked the necessary experience. When Obama was selected as the Dem's candidate, Biden accepted the offer to run as veep. THAT showed lack of character. Yeah, Biden was fortunate that DC isn't too far from Delaware and could return during personal tragedy. I couldn't do that for 20 years. I had an uncle die, the man that taught me hunting and gun safety. I was in Japan. He was like a father. I had to grieve alone and not with my parents and aunt. My first wife's dad died while I was in the Azores during the Cuban missle crisis. We were short handed and had to go to a three section watch. I couldn't escort my wife and daughter to his funeral. I had to grieve alone. During Clinton's years, wasn't it you and others that said character doesn't matter? BTW, I'd druther Clinton than any other Dem. Dave |

Here's but one opinion, Tom, before I head out for work:
"In my humble opinion, success cannot be measured in the material things that I have, nor can it be measured by my job title (and I have a lot of those). To me, success is an inside job. To be successful you must FEEL successful on the INSIDE. "You can have all the money, houses and status that you like, but if you do not FEEL successful on the inside, then you will feel like a hamster running on it’s wheel in a cage. You’ll be chasing success all your life and will never achieve it. "Easy for me to say right? "Listen, I’ve been in your shoes and have been on the brink of despair many times. I have been in the eye of the storm more times that I care to count. I have lived through a dark childhood, I have seen negative numbers in my bank account, and I have seen the loss of both my parents to name a few. I made it through to the other side because I never gave up, and I decided to change how I felt about it all. "You see when life gets you down and throws you to the ground, you have two choices … you can lie down there and wallow in it and feel sorry for yourself, or you can get up. I chose to get up." Well said, Katherine Giovanni. And I intend to continue to rise inspite of all the stones thrown at me on this forum. Dave |

Chuck Vance (playing the martyr card ain't gonna cut it, imho) No martyr card played, Chuck. Just the truth. I have been the recipient of some vile posts, and yes, I have returned same. Time to call a peace? I'm all for it, but I doubt the stone throwers are. Dave |

You haven't really shown that you are. Chuck Vance (but I'm guessing y'all have made it all so personal that it wouldn't matter anyway) |

That said, I'd take Clinton, flaws and all, over what Bush did to the nation. Hmmm. You ain't seen nothing yet, Tom. Dave eot |

Dave ... as an impartial observer to this whole silliness, you've brought a lot if it on yourself. Chuck Vance (playing the martyr card ain't gonna cut it, imho) Among Louie's many "endearing" qualities is the tendency to play "drama queen". “The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.” -- John Kenneth Galbraith Ah...so THAT explains why there are no wealthy "liberals"... You've really gotta feel for folks like Barbra Streisand and George Soros, what with unselfishly being willing to make do with only a mega-mansion or two and occasionally having to wash down the Royal Ossetra with less-than-perfect vintages of bubbly while jetting to one of the yachts' current moorings on anything less than a G4...I've always kinda suspected it was pretty easy to support all sorts of spending that really wouldn't affect one's own standard of living... You are so full of ****, Fortenberry, I can smell it down here. I doubt you will find many men as generous as I. Or of greater modesty, apparently... Yeah, I know...I doubt it will help, R |
