. They're only watching a 20 mile area, but it's pushing this huge problem to the national stage. I wish them the best of luck.
If there's one thing that Bush is terribly wrong about, it's lax border security. I really don't care if the same amount of people enter the U.S., but for criminy sake, make them come in legally!
As for Florida's new gun laws, lets hope it catches on.
Can anyone tell that I woke up cranky?

Rob,
Oh yeah? May your children grow up to be gun-totin' Republicans!

After Hillary wins you'll be singing a different tune.

Both of the Clintons have been sorely missed during the Neo-Con watch. Hilary is conservative, but progressive -- and somewhat LIBERAL to use RR's L-word. It's related to liberty, I think. 
Go Hilary Go!!

I do think Hilary Clinton has a shot at the White House which is quite scary. All she has to do is get few mid-western states and she is in as all our metropolitan cities are extremely liberal. I just hope the silent conservative majority will prevail once again when the crunch time comes. All the folks with conservative values must rise and make our votes count.

Haven't you Dems figured it out YET? We're bringing back the MONARCHY!!! 
Good ol' Jeb is going to SWOOP in and take the Presidency, add a robe and pointy gold hat to his ensemble, and you'll have nothing to say about anything!
Now THERE'S some good light-hearted controvery--what is the betting line for the 2008 Presidency? I must say that I was crushed when Condi said she wasn't going to run--I'm a real admirer.
Jeb Bush
Hillary Clinton
Rudy Guiliani
Ahhrnold S.
Bill Frist
John McCain
Barak Obama
John Edwards
Algore
Newt Gingrich
other?
Who is going to place odds on these odd-balls?
