Cheney is the best the GOP has. It isn’t Newt, Palin or Jindal thats for sure.

Texas Gov Perry’s desires to break away from the U.S.A. will really go far in a GOP primary. Although not very far in a General election.

Cheney has got to be the essence of the GOP as Rush is.

Now if you think as a Republican this is favorable to any viable candidate aspirations with the same views of yours making any political election gains in the future. You should understand that that same Wall Street mentality of recklessness in the GOP does not and will not qualify for a bail out as it fails.

Thanks to another TP user, I did some research on Framing an argument. Here’s the jist.

The NeoCons objective is to change the frame around the subject torture to something more acceptable to their base and others who may be unable to see through their framing tactics. Once a framing word takes hold over the actual internal framed word, the subject has been reframed. Here’s what I’ve seen so far. Note that the word inside the frame never changes, only the frame word.

Huntsman is actually a pretty good guy. The GOP hates him for his moderate position. He supports gay marriage and makes an issue about global warming. He also has many other moderate view on things.

My only problem with this appointment is that Obama is taking a moderate Republican Governor out of the picture and Huntsman will be replaced by a conservative. That what he did in Arizona. I wonder why he keeps doing this.

Lieutenant Governor Gary Herbert is considerably more conservative than Huntsman.

Lt. Gov. Gary Herbert and Gov. Jon Huntsman have twice shared the ballot, but the two share little else.

While Huntsman has plowed a moderately progressive path on topics such as civil unions and global warming, Herbert trends more heavily to the right.

“There are absolutely clear differences between the two guys and I think they both made those differences clear,” said Joe Demma, Herbert’s chief of staff.

Huntsman has received national recognition and flak from the conservative Utah Legislature for his stance on climate change, enlisting Utah in a regional initiative to significantly reduce green-house gasses in coming years.

Herbert, though, is “not where Huntsman is,” Demma said.

“Global

warming needs to be realized before anyone talks about it, the science is not all there,” Demma said. “Gary Herbert puts question marks on things that the governor has put periods on.”

Civil unions is another policy that the two disagree on, Demma said.

Sen. Curt Bramble, R-Provo, says Herbert is “in tune” with the majority of Utahns on social issues.

“The values that he embraces are the values that he lives his life by,” Bramble said. “He doesn’t have to put on any kind of facade for the delegates or the citizens. What you see is what you get with Gary.”

The only reason Kristol is jumping on the Cheney bandwagon is because Cheney is controversial and one of the biggest news story in the media right now. Kristol is just looking to attract more readers.

Now that’s a bad gig.

Yeah. Don Rickles is dead. :o/

In speaking to reporters Wednesday, Holder also said it is possible the United States could cooperate with a foreign court’s investigation of Bush administration officials.

What a cop-out. So he wants Spain or some other country to take out our garbage for us. We created this garbage, it’s up to us to take it out for ourselves. If we don’t, our world standing will be forever diminished.

Somewhere along the way, Billy must have expressed as “informed opinion” an irrational hope he harbored, and it came to pass. ‘Cause now that seems to be the only trick he’s got left in the bag.

yep, cray… or maybe chess, again…

(pun? is that correct?) ‘play on words’ works…

heh.

Um, what’s his throat full of?

It’s fun to see all of Bill’s neuroses, and deeply-held fears laid out, like this one. He’s got to know his credibility is in the crapper, but other than to continue, what option has he? He’s on a dying horse, in the middle of the stream.
