Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


Speaking of names, the other day the Washington Post wasted valuable ink and paper on a column by one of its staff writers about the name "Fred." The whole thing was about how someone named "Fred" could not, and should not be elected President.

I believe we may have been through this before but let's take a look at Presidential names since World War II:

We have had a Franklin (who succeeded a Herbert), a Dwight (who defeated an Adlai twice) and a Lyndon (who defeated a Barry).

We have had a Harry (whose Vice President was an Alban) and a Dick (who was defeated by a John and who, in turn, went on to beat a Hubert).

We have had a Gerry who lost to a Jimmy who lost to a Ron before the first of the two Georges was beaten by a Bill.

Swallow your coffee before you read on. Ready?

The column was written by a woman named …

Monica.

If you think Karl Rove and Dubya are conservatives, well there is our problem. You see, I am a Goldwater-conservative. One who actually believes in...

- limited constitutional government
- personal privacy
- personal responsibility
- strong national defense
- fiscally responsible government
- individual liberty

Karl Rove and Dubya, on the other hand, are nothing but BIG government socialists, just like their counterparts on the other side of the aisle.

Cheers.

You've GOT to be kidding! Rove is about as conservative as George Bush and his Daddy before him, which is about ZERO.

"and the caring expressed by both men at the recent news conference was very apparent."

Yes, let's not forget that President Bush's favorite name for Rove is "turd blossom". Yes, it's a match made in heaven. LOL!
