While it may be accurate to say that 51 is the number of Iowans, I believe you mean 51% of Iowans.

Truthfully, I can’t decide if this is supposed to be a good or a bad thing. Who would want to be like Reagan?

Swooning republicans who dream of the good old days of firing air traffic controllers and having their own radio kiddy hour in Des Moines.
August 23rd, 2007 at 3:40 pmBut as we all know, when it comes to making the right (but hard) decisions, our fearless Dem leaders can’t pull the trigger.
And that is with IOWA behind them! GEEZ!!

August 23rd, 2007 at 3:43 pmAnd speaking of Reagan and Iowa, when my Mom, who’s now 84 was just a lass of 15, she went on the “Dutch Reagan” kiddie talent radio show with her trusty accordian.
August 23rd, 2007 at 3:45 pmAccording to Mom, at that time Dutch was “A real prick”.

As was affirmed by the actress he date raped when he was the president of the Screen Actor’s Guild and she was starting in the business. Sound like a “prick” to me.

they will if Hillary Clinton gets elected pres, or they might all choke to death on their own spittle. Either way its a win win for liberals.

Comment by Adam — August 23, 2007 @ 3:35 pm
More accurately, this is 51 percent of REPUBLICAN Iowans. I expect the number of Iowa Democrats who want us to get out of Iraq is a much higher percentage, as would be the total of all Iowa voters.
Yoo hoo — any of you Republican presidential candidates paying attention?
August 23rd, 2007 at 3:50 pmI wish I could remember which historian said that Reagan was the most overrated president ever and Bush is the worst ever.

Please, go ahead, we’re waiting with anxious anxiety!
August 23rd, 2007 at 3:51 pmUnfortunately I have to agree with upside00 at comment #20 that most of Dem leaders continually fail to stand up with the majority of Americans on the issues that scare them. They would much rather follow the “Leader” when push comes to shove. Heck, I’m still waiting for the legislative branch to actually grow a set and stop coddling this administration and play ball just as hard as the Repub’s do.

And what is creepy, is all the Repug candidates trying to channel ronnie raygunz back to the future! At least they all are smart enough to try to distance themselves from the Codpiece Commander Guy.
August 23rd, 2007 at 3:54 pmMissmolly,
You got it very wrong about me in your last comments regarding Foley. Before you name call it would be nice if you could make sure you are correct about your facts.
Have a great day.

Go back to the Foley thread and take another look. You’ll see I wasn’t responding to any of your posts. I was responding to post #7, which was a very hateful post, especially the last paragraph which suggested we should all be beheaded.
You may have been confused because I referred to him as “Mr. P” at one point — another of his many aliases.
Although I admit my dig about “meds” was a bit on the snarky side, I stand by my remarks to that poster.
August 23rd, 2007 at 4:40 pm51% of iowa republicans no longer have their heads up their arses.

It’s so low that there is no approval for the Democrat Congress.

Ah you see, the GrOPers know that war is unpopular, and soon Rudy, Fred, Mitt and the gang will all be crying for withdrawal!

Cause, mebbe, now think, the people were lied too? Just as this bunch is more than likely lying? Its a great way to get elected and it worked oh so well for the Dems.

Who cares about the real P?
August 23rd, 2007 at 6:48 pmTo anyone who cares & MissMolly,
I was signing as P because I didn’t feel like typing my usual “Patrick in Chicago” Sorry I didn’t realize there was a person going by P or Mr. P who I gather can be a bit of a troll. I thought between your comment and the other one I was referring to previously that you folks were bustin’ on me and I didn’t quite understand why. I agree with your response to whoever posted that hateful comment. Thanks for clarifying and I’ll go by the name above from now on.
Have a great day.

August 24th, 2007 at 1:27 amTP realizes that they will look even more like idiots if they continue to live in their unrealistic bubble and not acknowledge that more and more Demoncrats and libs are admitting that Iraq’s turning around. Brian Baird, Carl Levin, Michael O’Hanlon–and all these converts just returned from Iraq in the last couple of weeks. Yup, for the progressives–who get off on nothing but beheadings and bombings from Iraq–it’s been a bad few weeks as they’ve been getting totally disproved.

August 25th, 2007 at 9:40 pmHere’s what Toilet Paper’s posting of even war critic Brian Baird’s admission of success in Iraq means: the progressives and liberal anti-Americans can no longer deny that Bush’s surge is working. They can also no longer deny (without being laughed at) that pulling out now means more misery for Iraqis and total US loss. They can also no longer deny (without being intellectually dishonest) that more good than bad is actually occurring in Iraq, thanks to the US military.
