By pragmatic do you mean that he was afraid little Chuckie might not get elected if he allowed Mr. Obama to put his state in danger. Mr. Obama did not listen to the opposition. He listened to his own whinning minions who he is perfectly willing to throw into the fire. Thank you Mr. Stalin.

George, I hope you are smoking something good because your logic is lacking and your ability to believe anything is astonishing.

The accusations against Sarah Palin were not dismissed because of a self-investigation. They went before an independent and impartial body. Allegations against Acorn were investigated by the accused organization and people who have benefited politically or once worked with the same organization they were called to investigate.

Care to have an impartial investigation. Would you have allowed the Nixon White House to investigate the Watergate breakin and then let the matter drop if they found no wrong doing?

Happy Birthday! What more can I say than has already been said? All I can add is that I appreciate many of the roles you play - strong men doing a man's work and soldiering onward. Hollywood is short on such actors.

Give 'em hell! When they squil the loudest you know you are on the right track.

If I was Senator Landrieu, I would drop any charges. I would not want a trial where Mr. OKeefe - in order to prove his story - could mass huge numbers of people who will attest that they could not get through to Sen. Landrieu's office. I would also hate to have the tape of my staff reporting that everything is fine with the phones made public.

K. Knightly's speech before the last battle in Pirates of the Caribbean 3 always hits home with me.

It would appear to me that the need for a sinner to rationalize his sin is a clear indication of the existence of moral absolutes. If they did not exist then there would be no need to justify an action - even to one's self.

What makes a contract so important? In upholding a contract is one not upholding the moral standard of truth, honest, integrity? Are you in favor of the government enforcing such morality?

Is the value of an individual decided on by an individual? Which individual? The individual in question or another individual? What about those individuals who cannot decide for themselves?
