Considering that Nixon cut his own throat, how can you blame liberals? I was and am a committed conservative, but I was glad to see Nixon go and later wondered how he fooled all of us. He was and always will be a criminal in my book, regardless of his outstanding skills in foreign policy. That being said, I'm not sure his efforts at de'tente were really in the best interest of the U.S. Thank God RR was able to win in 80.

Sorry Karl. You're sounding like the class dunce calling the teacher stupid. Palin may not have as thick a skin as George W., but she holds her own with the rest of the field and especially better than "Fireball" McCain (as much as I respect him for other positives).

Gang-banging? Hey, drug team. Test this man. He's high.

You've evidently noticed one of the same things I have. Every story on a major issue starts and ends with a liberal point of view. Somewhere in the middle of the story will be a short statement such as, "Republicans say..........", or "Conservatives view this as.............". The libs, however, feel they've given full credence to the opposite point of view, regardless of how long they gush about the poor immigrant family who is being deported back to Mexico after living illegally in the US for 22 years.

Well, N The libtards brought that up several times in the last few years. Thank God, it hasn't happened. The last thing we need is for the US Government to own the New York Times. I will rest more comfortably the day that worthless rag goes belly up like Newsweek.

Yeah, Robert. Stuff it. You know good and well that the right has lead the way on numerous of these very things you list. We just don't think the FEDERAL government should be doing or funding these things. Leave them to state and local control, where they belong. End Federal Block Grants immediately and lower federal taxes accordingly. If a state needs them or wants them, they'll fund them. I would end federal funding or almost anything at the state level except roads. And I would make some laws that strictly limit what the feds can do with the Highway Trust Fund dollars.

Good Lord! Some of you who have posted here have no idea, or refuse to understand, the satirical point of view Hawkins is using to make his points. If there are other points to be made that you didn't see included here, list them, but understand that he is limited to a certain number of words and lines in any particular article. And this is a great article

Do you miss him finally? Don't get me wrong. I'm glad he's no longer in office, but he was infinitely better than what we have masquerading for an executive now. If we had mummified Reagan and sat him in the oval office and put a good conservative cabinet in place, we would have far better government than what we have with the constitution shredding cabal we have in place now.

Right On, Right On! Our newly elected Republicans at all levels need to get the message and if they can't do anything else, stop the spending and gravy train where it is. Put it on the siding. In two more years, we'll be able to kick the other big spenders out and have enough of a majority (and hopefully a fully traditional conservative President) to start the dismantling process.

Dear Our Lady, If you live in Calif and think Pelosi was not on the ballot, you're a nut case regardless of how you voted. EVERY House Member stood for reelection this time as they do every two years. They are on the ballot only in "Their District". I'm trying desperately to get my daughter to see what's happening there and move out, before it's too late. Unfortunately, the ocean, beach, and big city life has her mesmerized. The least she could do would be to move to the mountains and the more conservative areas, what there are left. I just hope the Republicans have the gonads to turn California and New York down when they come calling asking the rest of us to bail them out. California has laws on its books that they cannot go...
