I applaud his showing of backbone against the tide of lunacy that has infected his party like a cancerous, metastasized disease.
Dave, you responded to this reply.

All I did here was answer bob's question, asking for examples of groups
which support the other side of the political isle. He asked, So I gave him a few.

So Glen, we aren't supposed to take your previous statements and positions into account when having a discussion? Really? Why is that?

Never suggested that.
But he quoted a specif post concerning answering a simple question,
and starts running his mouth about things that aren't relevant to the point at all.
If he wants to talk about something else I said earlier, he can quote it
and I'll see about a response. Too much to ask? apparently so.

My apologies I read more into your statement than I should have. Could've sworn there was a comma in there.

Might I suggest the '73 Montelena Chardonay for this latest whinefest? It's the schizzle from Californication.

No problem, when these threads start going past 10 pages long it can be pretty
easy to make a mistake.

I wouldn't be surprised. We wiped the floor with the French in '76 with that one.

See 'Bottle Shock', a fine little movie.

If I was Christie I would really be pushing full blast for Immigration reform right now. It is a no brainer for him.
If I were to lay a bet, I would take the Democratic field vs. both Hillary and Joe. Not to be ageist, but I think that a fresh face would have a good chance to gather some steam.

yeah they are both pretty old...but that sometimes plays ok, like with Reagan.

I think women really want Hillary, and I have met women at work who dislike Obama but are ready to vote for Hillary.

My dream ticket would be a Hillary/Castro ticket

all things being equal of course.....the state of the nation in 2016 will be a factor also.

Perhaps you are thinking of Elizabeth Warren.
