  • Joe Seemed Pretty Accurate

    Joe did rather well with that stating:

    1) Feels we're better off without Hussein around.

    2) Believes Bush prosecuted the war incorrectly.

    3) Is hopeful Petraus will do well.

    4) Believes the race to appese the extreme on Iraq will marginalize the democrat candidate in 2008.

    Democrats are pulling the same nonsense the far right pulled in the republican party for years and is still pulling today.

    There's a disconnect in american sentiment on Iraq. While unhappy with the way it is being prosecuted, they do not want to see a drastic pull out of troops.

    Now the far left can whine it's the big bad media that has twisted the sentiment and fanned the flames with hyperbole, but poll after poll shows this disconnect.

    Pelosi and crew looked at the dissatisfaction with the way the war was going and overreached with their time line. Bush called their bluff, emboldened by public sentiment and did to the congress what Clinton did to Gingrich on the budget.

    Extremism is extremism no matter if the choir that preaches to itself on here believes it or not.

  • Simple Adage

    So this guy 18 years her senior allowed for her to move in with him while leaving the child she delivered at the age of 16 home with her parents.

    Hmm ...

    This irresponsible little tart dumps junior on mom and dad and gets someone else to pay her bills for a while. That's a pretty smart move. And yet HE is the one who doesn't love the child? Who the hell abandoned the child?

    The 41 year old will get over it soon. Put a dimmer switch in the bed room and learn to appreciate stretch marks. I much prefer a woman comfortable in her own skin and knowing what she wants sexually to some spoiled little tramp.

    Or, as the adage goes ...

    Don't fuck crazy.

    Find some way to incorporate his baldness into your sex life and then make a point of talking up how cool it feels. I would imagine that would stiffen his stride so to speak if he is really that hung up with the virility thing.

    Do it. Lie if you have to. Sometimes lying can be healthy for a relationship.
