		<description>&lt;I&gt;When I first looked at the rankings, Matt was in 5th place out of a field of 115. He is now in 4th. But he needs to be in 3rd to win a scholarship. When I first checked, Matt was almost 100 votes away from this goal. Right now, Matt is 21 votes away from 3rd place. While Matt got 80+ votes in this period, the 3rd place guy got 4. WE CAN WIN THIS FOR MATT!! Twenty-one votes is not a lot. So get your family members and friends to cast a vote for Matt TODAY!&lt;/I&gt;


Can we do it like we do here in Florida???

VOTE EARLY AND VOTE OFTEN!!   :D

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Any way you slice that, it comes up hypocrisy.&lt;/I&gt;

Do you REALLY want to use &quot;hypocrisy&quot; as the defining characteristic here??   :D

Because, as it has been well-established, Republicans do not corner the market on hypocrisy...

Having said all the afore, I DO understand where you are coming from..

It&#039;s like hearing a lecture about the evils of drug use from Motley Crue..   :D

		<description>&lt;I&gt;The difference between almost all Dem sex scandals and almost all GOP scandals is that the Dems usually aren&#039;t the ones sanctimoniously telling everyone else (as with Bristol Palin) &quot;do as I say, not as I do.&quot; &lt;/I&gt;

Eliot Spitzer..  :D

&lt;I&gt;What was that about Chelsea Clinton? She&#039;s kept a pretty low profile, hasn&#039;t she? Or did I miss something?&lt;/I&gt;

During the &#039;08 campaign, she actively and avidly campaigned for Hillary, yet she was still off limits to the press...

		<description>Michale -

Um, yes, I am comparing a grown man making a sexual decision that could (and did) ruin his life, and then having the unmitigated gall to do a public video interview with the woman he had sex with -- on the subject of how younger people should make their own sexual decisions.

Any way you slice that, it comes up hypocrisy.  To say nothing of irony.  So I stand by what I wrote.  The difference between almost all Dem sex scandals and almost all GOP scandals is that the Dems usually aren&#039;t the ones sanctimoniously telling everyone else (as with Bristol Palin) &quot;do as I say, not as I do.&quot;  It&#039;s moral elitism, as far as I&#039;m concerned (rules for everyone else versus special rules for the elite), and it always seems to be the Republican who rails loudest about immorality who get caught in these scandals.  Which is why they&#039;re different than Dems, for the most part.

What was that about Chelsea Clinton?  She&#039;s kept a pretty low profile, hasn&#039;t she?  Or did I miss something?

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Rub their faces in PA-12&lt;/I&gt;

Don&#039;t rub too hard since it was clear that Critz won, running on the GOP platform against Obama and CrapCare..  :D

&lt;I&gt;We proudly endorse the cheater and drunk driver&lt;/I&gt;

&lt;B&gt;&quot;We, the Democratic Party, proudly support a liar who stomps on the honor of every military member who served in Vietnam&quot;..&lt;/B&gt;

As for cheaters and drunk drivers???

&lt;B&gt;&quot;General O&#039;Neill, I have read your file..  Please...&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
Dr Elizabeth Wier, STARGATE: ATLANTIS

&lt;I&gt;The supreme irony of Souder sleeping with a staffer who appeared with him on video discussing abstinence education for children also hits the absolute heights of hypocrisy. &lt;/I&gt;

What does one have to do with the other??

Surely you are not comparing a grown man making the decision to cheat on his wife with children making the decision that could ruin their young lives...

Abstinence has NOTHING in common with an adulterer except sex....

Do Democrats REALLY want to start harping on sex scandals??  Seriously??  :D


&lt;I&gt; Saint Ronald of Reagan lied about his military service&lt;/I&gt;

&lt;B&gt;&quot;All war stories are bullshit.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>Sorry for the &quot;drive bys&quot; (or Hit N Run, if you prefer)...  :D

&lt;I&gt;Bristol Palin is now officially also fair game, since it was revealed this week that she has now signed up with a speakers&#039; agency which would charge $10,000 to $30,000 a speech for Bristol&#039;s appearance, assumably for pro-abstinence speeches. So, if she&#039;s pulling down a five-figure income for an hour&#039;s worth of work, telling children to &quot;do as I say, and not as I did&quot; (a perfect &quot;bad example&quot; for the cause, in other words), then she is officially fair game. &lt;/I&gt;

{{{cough}}} {{{cough}}} Chelsea Clinton  {{{cough}}}


Apparently the Clintons (AND the MSM, incidentially) thinks differently than you do..

Not surprisingly, though, eh??  :D

		<description>I am heading out the door, but I just couldn&#039;t let this one pass without a comment... :D

&lt;I&gt;Also worth mentioning, and Honorable Mention-ing were Senators Maria Cantwell and Russ Feingold, who both wound up voting against the final bill, in an effort to make it even stronger. &lt;/I&gt;

Ahhhh, I see how it is..

It&#039;s a GOOD thing if Democrats vote against a bill in the hopes of making the bill better..

Yet, it&#039;s a BAD thing if Republicans do the same thing for the same reasons...

:D
