almost all attorneys support Bush. the people here who don't are law students, Criminal lawyers or maybe PI guys.

I have to make a slight retraction (NO!). the name partners from the plaintiff's firms appear to have been Edwards or Clark supporters.

The part where SD was unable to maintain an erection until he stuck this ENORMOUS dildo up his ass seems like it'd've been difficult to fake, though.
DAMMIT!!! I should have eaten before I posted for better mental acuity!!! It should have been the huge two corncobs!!

Uh Huh

From Drudge:

Quote:
KERRY: NO FOREIGN ENDORSEMENTS, PLEASE... Kerry Foreign Policy Advisor Rand Beers issued the following statement today: '...It is simply not appropriate for any foreign leader to endorse a candidate in America's presidential election. John Kerry does not seek, and will not accept, any such endorsements'...
Looks like the Kerry campaign is a little behind the curve . . .

If he were truly standing behind the espoused principles that have gotten him this far, wouldn't he be eager for those endorsements, knowing that the vast majority of American voters will only react positively to the explicit approval of a Chirac, a Putin, a Shroeder?

Hell, maybe he could get Arafat to throw him a dinner.

He'd be unstoppable.

At least, as long as all those people truly believed the Kerry-Dean war line I keep hearing here . . .

Unless you have some information to suggest that McCain dictated or edited that transcript -- you may be reading too much into someon's choice of punctuation.

I'd think its just as easy to believe that, while bound and determined to support the reelection of the President from his party (whom he dislikes), McCain still believes that his fellow decorated Navy veteran, with whom he's cooperated for years in the Senate at least on VA issues -- is not "weak on defense" and would not harm the national security of our country if elected. However, after having to "clarify" the VP thing last week, he feels compelled to hem and haw a bit.

Watch out, or someone will throw some sense in . . .

Punctuation has meaning, just like words. I'm sure McCain chooses his punctuation carefully.

This is probably one for the timmies board, but does spoken word have punctuation?

Just curious.

While I may disagree with him on the perception issues, he does make good logical points:

"The question, simply put, is whether someone who thought I could decide this case impartially despite my friendship with the Vice President would reasonably believe that I cannot decide it impartially because I went hunting with that friend and accepted an invitation to fly there with him on a Government plane. If it is reasonable to think that a Supreme Court Justice can be bought so cheap, the Nation is in deeper trouble than I had imagined."

[Interesting piece about trend towards stay at home moms]

Why do I think half the board will respond, "If there was only adequate day care . . . "

He's easy, but he's not cheap?

Why do I think half the board will respond, "If there was only adequate day care . . . "
And the other half will respond "and if there were jobs that paid a decent wage, moms might not have to work 3 jobs just to support themselves and their kids after their ne'er do well husbands run off and start living off and impregnating other women, so that they have no income and "can't" fork over child support.

Whoo hoo!! That was 2 birds, I do believe!
