Iraq Study Group or 9/11 Commission - it's irrelevant. Ghouliani still made his fortune dancing in the blood of the 3,000 Americans who died on 9/11. Are you going to quibble with THAT fact...? I thought not. Exlax – it doesn’t matter. Iraq Study Group or 9/11 Commission – it’s irrelevant.

Yeah, if you felt the ISG would present a conflict of interest, you probably shouldn't have joined in the first place. But since you did (and I might point out that your brief tenure there is the ONLY thing that even barely resembles foreign policy experience on your resume), you should have stayed to finish the job, OR left while making a very clear statement that you did so because you planned to run for president and you felt it would be a conflict of interest. When you try to spin that line much later, you not only reveal yourself to be a fool, but you show contempt for the intelligence of the American people as well. And that doesn't sit well with us.

Ralph has been laying low after he was outed with the crimes he'd done to Bush's base. But he's back with Rudy to go to the White House and continue the crime wave. Rudy's good friend Michael is even been nominated as Attorney General as to push those criminal laws. Our country has been invaded and the criminals just keep on coming. Mitt has child molesters on his team and McCain has the perverts. Fred is just plan clue less and in this for the money he can get for his young wife. If he's broke she's gone.

Problem is, 65 % of the voting public will be so fed up, that the Democratic nominee (take your pick) will do an FDR v. Hoover, while the Dems pick up 6 to 10 senate seats. Best thing Republics can do is fall into a coma and hope that after 40 years of Democratic rule, they wake up. Here’s the picture folks and if your a republic, it ain’t pretty.
