" I'll continue to remember one of my best friends at Oxford who was a fellow West Pointer. We stayed up late one night in December 1967 discussing life and death in Viet Nam. And we finally came down to the old adage....If there's nothing worth fighting and dying for, then maybe there's nothing worth living for.

33 years later, I still think there's a lot of truth in it. I happen to believe there's a lot worth living for and therefore there's a lot worth fighting for and we're going to continue to do just that."

Why have Obama and the New Democratic Party chose to rehabilitate the Republican Party at a time when it and conservatism has proven to be such a failure? Answer: "Because that's where the money is."

Someone who can shift positions so quickly on so many important issues that will face the next President comes off as a man who doesn’t have fixed convictions. Pragmatism has to be guided by principles. A man who believes in everything believes in nothing, and that’s a formula for chaos in the White House.

What his campaign was all about:

Too bad his supporters were/are under the illusion that CHANGE meant something else

Speaking of which, I doubt that the following song would be appropriate for the Obama campaign (even though I now hear he is a fan of Swing Out Sister):

...snubbed by Obama....

Money quote....

One of his campaign advisers told me recently: "Why should we take the time for foreign media, since there is Obamania around the world?"

Hubris, thy name is Obama

sounds more and more like w every day. I thought he said he was going to restore our standing in the world. Not a good beginning, imo.

I'm going to vote by mail. Where I live, it's the only way to have a paper trail.
