Read an article that says there is a rumor out that Reed may not qualify. If you believe it then you believe in the tooth fairy.

But just imagine if he did…. That would be a fun task sending all the refunds of campaign money to all those out of state folks… That would really stink…

I am annoyed more each day with this guy.

Interesting rumor, but I doubt it is true. See, all that money Ralph raises is perfect for plowing back through Century Strategies and, thus, his own pocket.

Look for tons of money going through Century Strategies and Millenium Marketing…look for high markups (experienced disclosure reviewers will be able to figure them out) on the amounts disclosed as having been spent by the Reed campaign and going straight to Reed-owned companies.

There is NO way Ralph will not qualify…he needs that money to launder into his own pocket.

Pipe dream on Reed. Good news on Delta and the pilots.

Bashing Ralph Reed is fun. Bashing Donald Rumsfeld is more worthwhile, though.

You can tell how shallow Bush is when out of all the things currently going on in the world (e.g., no government forming in Iraq, Iran threatening nuclear weapons inside of a year, etc.), the only thing HE’S concerned with is bolstering his Secretary of War.

Politics and religion make bad bedfellows. Any political operative who is associated with an organization with the word Christian in the name is to be watched even more closely than normal. Kind of like any church which is not affiliated with a legitimate denomination with substantive oversight authority should be an immediate audit candidate for the IRS (think Creflo Dollar, Earl Paulk, Fred Price, Rod Parsley, etc)

What do you guys think of Lugar’s comments regarding an opening of dialogue with Iran. Personally I think if we are gonna talk to Iran regarding Iraq’s stability, we might as well talk about the nuclear issue.

Certainly, direct negotiations should be attempted before any military action is contemplated. I’ve believed for some time that the Iranians are using the nuclear issue as a bargaining chip, and their real goal is to control the majority Shiia areas of Iraq (if not directly annex those areas).

Today's Deep Thought

One afternoon, when I was about ten, I decided to walk over to the 'wrong side of the tracks.' At first I was a little scared. But then I noticed that the yards were nice, and so were the houses. In fact, most of the houses were better than those on our side of the tracks. A lot better.
