Building on Fuzzybear Lioness' link in the comments: "It's not the American people or the U.S. Congress who are emboldening the enemy," said Democratic Sen. Joe Biden, a White House hopeful in 2008. "It's the failed policy of this president — going to war without a strategy, going to war prematurely." So, going to war was still a Good Thing, then Senator? We only opened the campaign "prematurely"? If so - how about the Democrats proposing a plan to *win* it then? Of course, it's easy to carp. Talking heads (myself included) have that bit... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/01/heres_a_thought_1.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/01/heres_a_thought_1.html Sun, 28 Jan 2007 09:42:08 -0600 I'm looking forward to Biden's next spate of made up family history... I'm amazed that he seems to think everyone's forgotten he was lying about his past to try to get elected. Well, maybe they have, he keeps getting elected, don't he.... Screw him too. I figure it's gonna be Hilary and Obama (he's got to be going for the face time or the VP slot, both work for a young guy), but to be honest, I don't think that combo will work. I don't think Hilary has the chance a lot of people think she does 'cause she's not willing to dump her philandering perjured hubby, and lots of folks like me would vote for almost anyone before they'd see him back in the Whitehouse, no matter who the servants work for. I'd like to see Newt Gingrich and Rice run together, they just need to call it first if they are going to because that would just kill the demo chance of playing that race card... And man wouldn't Gingrich and Rice be one tough pair to deal with... I think that would make for some interesting politics... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/01/heres_a_thought_1.html#comment-55895 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/01/heres_a_thought_1.html#comment-55895 Mon, 29 Jan 2007 03:05:15 -0600 Biden's problem...which also afflicts Hillary, Obama, and McCain...is that they're trying to look Presidential while still being Senators. Personally, I think the two objectives cause enough of a conflict of interest that it should be forbidden. New Amendment: "No person, while holding any elective office, nor any office of public trust under the United States, shall be allowed to run for the office of President of the United States." You want to be President? Fine and dandy. But you'll have to give up your cushy government job to do it. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/01/heres_a_thought_1.html#comment-55868 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/01/heres_a_thought_1.html#comment-55868 Sun, 28 Jan 2007 11:30:45 -0600 Yeah, that probably wasn't the most coherent comment I've ever made here, but like I said in comments on another post: my lack of posting on my blog recently is a public service, haha! http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/01/heres_a_thought_1.html#comment-55866 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/01/heres_a_thought_1.html#comment-55866 Sun, 28 Jan 2007 10:47:08 -0600 failed strategy" that does that. Good to know that the yet-to-be-implemented strategy has already failed. Maybe he's just making sure we don't attempt anything new because if it doesn't work right our enemies might be emboldened--'cause you know if we do nothing then they just relax and start being nice to us. I'm just so glad he's on our side... *barf*]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/01/heres_a_thought_1.html#comment-55865 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/01/heres_a_thought_1.html#comment-55865 Sun, 28 Jan 2007 10:45:03 -0600 What Carrie said. :) Nice! http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/01/heres_a_thought_1.html#comment-55861 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/01/heres_a_thought_1.html#comment-55861 Sun, 28 Jan 2007 10:08:09 -0600 I love it almost as much as the "have a nice hot cup of..." Considering all of the weekend's activities, this is a tonic. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/01/heres_a_thought_1.html#comment-55859 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/01/heres_a_thought_1.html#comment-55859 Sun, 28 Jan 2007 09:55:07 -0600
