Glad to hear the President and Vice-President taking it to them in PA and on the debate last evening. A couple of my liberal friends are all over Cheney's "lie" about just meeting Edwards. Of course they completely ignore the rest. Hey folks, being in the same room with someone, even sitting beside them, even several times, isn't what Cheney was referring to. I think he was really pointing out Edwards' essential uselessness as a Senator. With his nearly non-existent attendance on the Senate floor and committee meetings, it makes me wonder if the Dems were hiding him...
I wish my liberal friends could see the irony of hating Bush so much they would vote for two candidates that would have had a terrible time holding onto their seats in the Senate.
I overheard a conversation at an outdoor table at a restaurant today. The couple, liberals themselves, were discussing their liberal friends. The discussion didn't hinge on the war in Iraq, terrorism, or domestic issues. The sole criteria for just how liberal they were was the degree of hatred they held for Bush and Cheney.
Now, I have to admit, there would be little political love lost between me and most Democrats holding office, but it is based on their political position and policy, not personal animosity. I have a number of friends with whom I strongly disagree on almost anything political, but they are still my friends.
The Four Laws of Gun Safety
1. All firearms are loaded. Always.
2. Never point a firearm at anything you are not willing to destroy.
3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
4. Be sure of your target and what is behind it.

CHAPTER 527 - FIREARMS AND WEAPONS OFFENSES
This chapter deals mostly with victimless crimes involving firearms. They have, for the most part, been enacted to prevent what one might do with a firearm in his possession rather than any actual perpetration of otherwise criminal activity. You should pay close attention to the wording in the chapter, some crimes described seem rather vague and open to very loose interpretation. The entire chapter is relevant but you should be especially wary of the crimes described in the following sections:
· 527.010 Definitions for the chapter
· 527.020 Carrying concealed a deadly weapon
· 527.030 Defacing a firearm (note use of "cover" in definition)
· 527.050 Possessing a defaced firearm
· 527.070 Possession on school property - FELONY!
· 527.110 Providing handgun to a juvenile - FELONY!

I hope they won't ignore the rest because the much bigger lies are the ones that more than 1,000 young Americans have died over. They've killed thousands of Iraquis, many of them children and civilians. They've plunged that part of the world into chaos and created a huge recruitment base of people who are now motivated enough or desperate enough to become suicide bombers.
Meanwhile, they left the job half done in Afghanistan and have left North Korea and Iran to become enemies equipped with nuclear weapons. And, in Africa, newly radicalized Islamists are raising insurgencies in other oil-producing countries. If you don't care about your "Christian" brethern lying and killing and causing the deaths of innocent young Americans, you might care that oil that was $30 a barrel when Bush took office is now $50 a barrel -- remember that when you have to fill your car or heat your home this winter. And pray, I'm serious PRAY, that those Islamists in Sengal and Rwanda don't cut off our oil at the point that they're really ready to bring the fight here to America and we need oil for homeland defense because the Bush Administration hasn't left us with a potent ally in the Western world.
You think catching Cheney in this silly little lie is what matters? That's a distraction. They've been swimming is such a sea of mendacity that it's hard to recognize and react to anymore.
Rainey,
Thanks for your comment. Kind of surprised someone read my blog on the first day. And took the time to post a substantial comment!
I'm afraid we'll have to agree to disagree.
We are apparently processing facts thru different worldviews. I guess time will tell which of us is more on track.
I do have a question for you, if you check back in.
In your opinion, taking Iraq out of the equation, what should have been done about Korea and Iran? Please don't say sanctions. Both have continuing U.N.sanctions in place, and as we can see, both Korea and Iran ignore them.
Thanks again for taking the time to comment.
