Still Hating America.

He agrees with Democrats on many things. But his loyalty to the GOP keeps him from voting for one. If you're going to vote a GOP party line, talk is cheap.

As I just wrote on my Heritage Foundation survey:

"Due to the constant betrayal of conservative and federalist principles by our current POTUS and other Congressional Republicans, I would immediately vote against the GOP and for the other party - if indeed there was a viable other party"

Perhaps Dick Cheney can invite Jefferson on that hunting trip he's planning to take with Scooter?

Just like Al Gore, you can't keep a mensch like Taxwonk down.

Brilliant. Can cranky old man letters to the editor be far behind? You need to work the phrase "my tax dollars" into those somewhere, though.

And use the subjunctive correctly. I think people at the Heritage Foundation have sticks up their asses about stuff like that.

From today's Economist:


....though nowhere near as costly to America in terms of blood (3,100 deaths so far, versus 58,000 - in Vietnam). Total military spending for 2008 is projected at 4.4% of GDP. That is a lighter burden than during previous large conflicts: America spent more than 9% of GDP on defence at the height of the Vietnam war, 14% during the Korean war and 37% during the second world war.

Gosh, we were spending more money on defense during the Cold War? Who would've imagined!

We are in a war on terror and we are only spending four percent of our GDP on defense. Not much of a war.

I suspect your friend overestimate their own importance. Jim Ramstad, for one, is not going anywhere, although I have no specific comment on the rest of them.

And Pelosi, Murtha and 227 othe Democrats want to substantially cut funding and support.

I don't think any of those guys are from Cali. Am I wrong?

I hope most of these guys were not pro choice Republicans.

It helps when your enemy isn't stockpiling the most expensive weapons in existence. Which, of course, has something to do with the fact that your enemy lives in caves in a ruined country. Well, it did until we caused our enemy to migrate and multiply.

Did he just quote some sort of blog with a specific political orientation? Don't we despise that?

I wish it were a happier hour. 2:15 to go.
