Seriously, once you figure out they aren't going to let you drowned where is the motivation to talk from this technique?
I read Jim Bunning has decided not to run for re-election in Kentucky.
I think it's good news for Republicans because he was not going to win another term. At least now the seat has a far better chance at staying red.
I guess Ron Paul's kid, Rand Paul is going to run as the Republican.
Anyone else still waiting?Quote:

Jack Kemp was someone who I disagreed with profoundly, but I think he honestly believed what he said he believed. One of the few GOPers of his time to really sincerely reach out to blacks. He was liked by everyone he knew. He will be missed.
^ I see what you did there
Well, I give the guy a lot of credit - he was sincere and good-hearted. He was a big player during an era (the 80's) when the GOP had a ton of credibility, and he was a big reason for that credibility. By all accounts, he was an intellectual to be reckoned with even during his athletic career. He was kind of like Bill Buckley Jr. but more down-to-earth. The 1996 presidential race might have ended differently if he had gotten top billing instead of Dole.
You're not likely to get this kind of praise out of me for a modern Republican, so take it for what it's worth. He was the kind of Republican politician I could still respect and that says a lot. May he find sublime peace.
I'm 100% with Swami on this. Good guy with an actual ideology aimed at improving government and the country. We could use a lot more of it on both sides of the aisle.
