Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

That was a bit outside.

First time ever Charlie was "extreme" right.
Brad| 10.10.10 @ 2:48PM
Or right about anything.

George Hamilton called and wants his tan back.
Jack Bauer| 10.8.10 @ 5:24PM
Be fair.
Charlie's last baseball team were the Albinos, and they couldn't practice unless it was pitch black.
That was before he discovered spray on tanning booths.

Wow! I remember when GWB threw that bullet to the Yankee's catcher just after September 11. W's pitch flew true to its mark.
I never thought I'd refer to the days just after 9/11 as the good old days, but in a lot of ways they were. President Bush was a solid straight shooter who engendered confidence in us, he led our country brilliantly during those dark days. We've fallen so far since then, it's shocking.
I don't like who we are as a country right now and I can't stand weaktard Obama and his stupid mom-jeans. Obama's the perfect personification of the spineless "malaise" that has gripped our beloved country. I hope we can survive the Marxist jackass.

So Con,
I hear you. We are going to go through some more dark days before the weather clears.
I hope you will buy my new E-book released yesterday "Texas Said No!"
Check out the book's website and see what you think. www.texassaidno.com

"President Bush was a solid straight shooter who engendered confidence in us, he led our country brilliantly during those dark days. We've fallen so far since then, it's shocking."
You can't blame everything on Obama, anymore than Bush's enemies could do the same re Bush.
SoCon| 10.10.10 @ 12:41AM
Why so defensive about Obama? I didn't blame everything on him--you're the one who brought that up. Feeling guilty about your vote? You should, libtard.
I do blame him for those super dorky mom-jeans, though.

From Rules For Radicals:
"Ridicule is man's most potent weapon."
Marco Rubio should buy air time and simply run this over and over for the duration of the campaign.
Too Easy | 10.9.10 @ 1:43PM
Obama and Crist throw like girls.
SoCon| 10.9.10 @ 2:32PM
Spastic girls, you mean.
I don't throw like those two girlie men, thank you very much! :)

"Texas Said No!"
Texas said no to federal funds? since when?
SoCon| 10.10.10 @ 12:42AM
Read the book, Alan.
DaveT| 10.10.10 @ 10:42PM
Good to see the Arabic readers also laff at Crist
skedaddle| 10.11.10 @ 12:09PM
Bad pitches from politicians say alot about the person. Crist didn't care enough to do whatever it would take for him to pitch better - he just showed up and lobbed it like someone who'd never seen the game played. Bush made it look easy but Bush is a man.
George Bush| 10.11.10 @ 2:43PM
Miss me yet?
SoCon| 10.11.10 @ 6:07PM
We'd be missing you a lot more if you'd defended yourself from the Left's lies when you were POTUS. Sitting above the fray in your lofty perch didn't serve your country well.
Sorry, George, you and Karl were weak when it came time to defending yourselves and your party.
Please! No more Bush Presidential candidates--that means you, Jeb!
