jazzjumper 0 #2 September 2, 2004 Okay, I'm a Republican and I also think that Alan Keyes is a very congent thinker and communicator. However, he does step on his air hose A LOT! Anyway, you said moron. Which word are you arguing with...selfish or hedonist? Hell, we skydivers are pretty much hedonists to some degree based upon M-W.com (not sexually necessarily, but the pleasure of jumping.) In context, he got baited and trapt. It's a fatal flaw of truly speaking what you feel. It's almost impossible to get elected if you do it. No matter how good she looks, someone, somewhere is sick of her shit!

Disagree - he opened his mouth unnecessarily in this case, and stuck his foot in up to the thigh. Obama will win IL in the biggest landslide in recent history. Even staunch Republicans are planning to vote for Obama.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardly a trap. >It's a fatal flaw of truly speaking what you feel. I think it's fine that he explained how he felt; now people can vote for or against him based on their opinion of him. Much better than voting for a cardboard cutout of him speaking publicist lines. I liked this line: "The heterosexual relationship is haunted by the possibility of the child . . ." And so many end up cursed with them! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
