Not that the other candidates aren't, but at least they started off aligning themselves with the liberal base before gradually moving toward the middle. From day one of her Senate term in NY, she tried to be as moderate as humanly possibly. Rickey takes issue with that. Go 'bama. (go pride!)<BR/><BR/>Has anyone coined that yet? It needs to be. Rickey demmands royalties however.Rickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05773465359487671887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804629.post-15921316624265665772007-12-06T17:55:00.000-05:002007-12-06T17:55:00.000-05:00Well, I may be naive here, but I do believe that t...Well, I may be naive here, but I do believe that the military tribunals will end. At least they're all talking about restoring habeas corpus and rehabilitating our image with the world, and getting rid of this shit is one of the steps you have to take.michellinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05034726778989565660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804629.post-49139287619758744192007-12-06T17:18:00.000-05:002007-12-06T17:18:00.000-05:00That's just Rickey being Rickey.That's just Rickey being Rickey.John Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895903722298748059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804629.post-63987205137001701482007-12-06T12:43:00.000-05:002007-12-06T12:43:00.000-05:00You really think any Democrat getting in would hel...You really think any Democrat getting in would help? Rickey's not being rhetorical, he's just curious... Rickey's not sure that Hillary Clinton would revoke the Patriot Act and that kind of scares Rickey.

It seems to me that the only conclusion you can draw from that position is that our justice system simply doesn't work at all.John Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895903722298748059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804629.post-36291716704203395882007-12-06T06:51:00.000-05:002007-12-06T06:51:00.000-05:00Word.
