Maybe, but you can't go from filleting fish to IP overnight. Remember
the Japanese started by making cheap trinkets. And, gee, look at what
a "threat" they became (he says while scanning his room and noticing
the Panasonic TV, the Yamaha DVD player, the Pioneer CD player, and
the Subaru in the driveway).

Yeah, suddenly all the left-ards stopped being commies - right about
the time that the truth about was going on "behind the Iron Curtain"
came flooding out and they were unable to lie about it anymore. And of
course when communism imploded, collapsing (ironically, cf. Marx) from
its own internal contradictions.

They cannot afford to *without* tax cuts for the rich because it is
only tax cuts for the rich which produces *higher* tax revenues making
possible the funding of socialist schemes (whether Republican or
Democrat).

I can't speak for others but my views have changed very little in 5
decades. Just as Athena sprang from the head of Zeus I came from the
head of James Madison.

You already conceded Repugs had an "uphill battle."

Which is it?

You cannot even make up your mind.

Of course - and the polls show that, too.

Just not against Hillary. Apparently.

You don't have a spin yet on the Zogby poll? I'm surprised but I'm
sure your little brain is working furiously to come up with one.

Then we agree that you were correct when you conceded the White house
in 2008 because Bush was "a moron."

Or are you now claiming that Obama or Edwards will surge past Hillary
and become president?

I personally think Obama's time will come but it just isn't now.

Anyway, tell us how your cross dressing abortionist gay marriage 9/11
gush hyping candidate will do in South Carolina.

Enough discussion of winner Democrats.

Loser Republicons are far more interesting.

The dynamic is between the tax hike fundy Huckabee wing and the cross
dressing abortionist gay marriage 9/11 Ghouliani wing.

Who do you think will get the GOP nomination?

(Assuming there is even anything left to the Party of Gipper in 2008.)

Not just Bush. Most Republicans. They deserve to lose the White House,
just as they deserved to have their heads handed to them in the 2006
Congressional election. Anyway, I'm of the view that the Republicans
are much better in opposition. Democrats are such an easy target, even
the Republicans can handle them.

I have no idea and really don't care. I'm not following it very
closely. I can't imagine why anyone would be interested. This loser
wins, that loser wins. What difference does it make?

But whoever wins, the Republicans will take back Congress in a
landslide in 2010 and very likely the White House in 2012. I notice
you haven't taken me up on the offer of a bet.

I'm much more interested in what happens in Venezuela today.

Obviously if they are going to lose, a moderate. If
they think they can win they would back a fundamentalist.
