The struggles underlying the Troubles have been going on for almost a millenium, and while disbanding of the Army Council is good news, the Provos are going to continue to fight as "rogue Republican splinter groups" for as long as the Unionists still act like thugs in Belfast.

Having family in both Roscommon and Belfast, most of my relatives believe that real peace will only come when the the Unionists agree to stand down as well.

Whaaaat?

Must be that wily GOP doing this to try to look good before McCain's speech tonight.

-The Paranoid DR Left.

Good god, Boyd and I agree on something!

Will wonders ever cease?

:^)

I thought that this was a questionable move by McCain, in all honesty, but I thought she came across very well in her speech.

I think that she will destroy Biden at the debates, and will do a very good job as the attack dog during the campaign. Did this make me want to vote for her, I don't know, however, she did far better then Quayle did in his debut, that is for sure.

FYI-

He is in HS, and the age of consent in Alaska is 16.

BTW, the obsession with all things Palin by the DR Left is frankly getting a little creepy.

To me the brains and values that a person has is a lot more important than looks. I look at the situation as you may very well have to spend your life with that person in some way or another.

She is morally vacant and intellectually bankrupt.

My usual read on the person that says something like this when someone says "I'd hit that" is that the person making the "brains and values" statement either 1) considers the woman referenced as waay too good looking to consider fucking him, well, ever, or 2) trying to justify the fact that his wife/gf/partner was repeatedly hit with the ugly stick yet he still "loves" she/he/it. Or both.

Just sayin...

AU-

Nice link back up to a prior post...clever.

Doncha think it is possible, just maybe, that there is at least one person in Wasilla that doesn't like Sarah Palin or her party just a little bit? How about a whole lot? I'm sure that there is someone who has known Obama or Biden "well" who has bad things to say about them as well.

But then again, that just wouldn't be right, now would it...to paraphrase, "can't have any first hand insight interjected about their actual governance now, can we? That would just ruin the bullshit PR bandied about them, or Obama/Biden's own words as opposed to reality."

Biden voted yes on authorizing the use of force in Iraq. Do you think before you type?

C'mon Joe, Vizzini has never been much for facts: not only did Biden vote for the authorization, but facilitated the purported "lies" that got us into this war in the first place...

Biden on Meet the Press in 2002, discussing Saddam Hussein: "Hes a long term threat and a short term threat to our national security We have no choice but to eliminate the threat. This is a guy who is an extreme danger to the world."--

Biden on Meet the Press in 2002: "Saddam must be dislodged from his weapons or dislodged from power."--
