Hmm. I guess SS's request was fulfilled.

It's only divinity because you choose to believe it. In this little game of metaphysical chess, I believe that would constitute a check. But let's not get sidetracked here.

You said:



That statement doesn't answer the question of whether or not there are absolute rights and absolute wrongs. It only defines what belief set you choose to point to. If God, as you call him, establishes what is right and what is wrong, then are you suggesting that everything God declares to be wrong is absolutely wrong?

Yes.

Wow. That was cold. I had no idea my approval (or lack thereof) meant so much to the racist bastard. (Had you not quoted him, I'd likely still not know.)

[Penske]'s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.

Don't forget that Tom McClintock ran against Arnold (it was an open election - no primaries - everyone on the same ticket) and Arnold still won by a landslide even with McClintock getting fifteen percent of the vote. So even if the archconservatives sit it out we can still win.

A moderate Republican can win in New York (Giuliani) California, Mass (current governor), Ohio, Penn (Spector), New Jersey (Whitman) Michigan and Illinois. They would have a strong shot in Florida and Texas (depending on how many conservatives bail). I think that is a majority of the electoral college right there.

spank, I love ya, and I know you know far more political strategy than I, but come on. Arnold is not representative of a "normal" candidate of any stripe.


As for some of the others, Spector is not a moderate. Whitman is okay but she is probably the left side of moderate, notwithstanding her book, Giuliani is somewhat of a special case, but I don't think he could beat hitlery in NY. Sadly.

1 the "you're on ignore" act is best done by old schooler's like Paigow or Thurgreed. You run the risk of someone thanking you for ignoring them, or asking who you are, etc.

2 As RT's consort you have to think how hurtful the things you say are. Let RT make the criticisms. You should stick to non-controversial issues- Did you ever hear Laura Bush attack anyone personally?

By association ala 2 degrees of separation. I believe it is SS (unless it was Hank) has previously voiced support of Elian's freedom robbing kidnapping at the hands of the Red conspirators, Shake n Bake Reno, Clinton and their comrade in arms, Fidel. Chavez and Fidel are bossom buddies. Ergo, it follows SS is part of their little cabal, or at least a riff raffian co-conspirator.

Let's save this one for the archives, kids.

Next time anyone calls Penske out for calling us, individually, baby killers, racists, or some such other shit, he'll attack us for poor reading skills. But when he gets tagged with a pure-ty fuckup in this regard, he freaks and goes all Kevin Bacon.

Reagan had to do it because Nixon had fucked up.

You'll see how it goes in Mass. with Romney. I doubt the support that elected him governor will be there in the primaries (if he gets that far) now that he's born again.

And how do you explain ME, NH, and RI, all of which have R senators, but voted for Kerry. There's R support there, but not religious right.

Got it. And Reagan went right because of Nixon. His prior couple of decades of history of writing and talking about issues that resonated with the right must have been a set up for that moment. Amazing he could forsee the need.

The people in ME NH and RI was RiNOs of the worst order. I could call myself a democrat, it doesn't make your in tune with the national party., even excepting the fringes.

So, again, you are resorting to guilt by association. The two degrees of separation argument is exactly what you have been doing to me, but with respect to Robert Byrd, notwithstanding that I have never once said anything that could be favorably disposed toward Byrd.

Now, let's examine your substantive point here. You are asserting that it was wrong of the US to return Elian to Cuba. Is that an absolute wrong or a relative wrong?

Not true. At least in DC (and I think this is the case in surrounding jurisdictions), the fine is against the car owner and the car. The ticket is sent to the owner. The owner can sign an affidavit that someone else was driving, or pay the fine. Not paying means the fine shows up next time you try to register. There are no consequences for the ticket other than the fine, however (like a parking ticket), which may save the gov't. That said, if your argument works, what are you going to do about it when they don't let you reregister your car? Claim "sufficiency of service"?

Don't pay and move to a different jurisdiction.

Did you ever hear of RT doing same? (aside from asshole drivers and motherfucking jackass tom delay)

I'm nice, damnit.

Wow, thanks for the great advice, Hank!

I be sure to leave the such things to old skoolers like Paigow (Paigow's old skool?).

I understand my responsibilities as prince consort. I made my message confidential to Sidd. The fact that you and/or penske read it is a shocking (Shocking!) violation of the sanctity of the small italic type message. I feel like Phillip after the whole cell phone debacle.

Yes, but the god of islam's son wasn't a drunk pedophile. nttawwt.

I'm sorry. I don't understand what you are saying here. The God Islam is the God of Abraham. The Muslims, like the Jews, don't believe God had a son.

Funny, I don't think he responded to this one. Of course, sometimes it takes Penske a few hours to respond to posts.

I was at lunch. Interesting that you were done with the conversation, yet you still feel the compulsion to post about me. Why the campaign of slander? Of hate? Its as if you are employing the tactics of hatred of Byrd or Carville. Why?

Yes.

Okay, so you believe that what God declares to be wrong is an absolute wrong. Can I then assume you are opposed to the war in Iraq?
