Wait. Can you also tell me who&#039;s in charge of the Dem party &amp; who&#039;s gonna save it?

I mean, it&#039;s getting so that the Dems don&#039;t even know who to bow down to.</description>

Thanks, but, a request.

Can you tell me who&#039;s in charge of the GOP &amp; who&#039;s gonna save the GOP? Or create a new GOP more to the liking of The Best &amp; The Brightest? You know the ones who voted for The One &amp; Joe The Biden.

I mean, first The Best &amp; The Brightest decreed that it was Rush, then Glenn Beck, then Liz Cheney, &amp; now it&#039;s Sarah Palin in charge, but it was decreed at the same time that each of them was gonna destroy the GOP which could only be saved by a &quot;moderate&quot; Republican, with credentials from the right college (I mean of the above, only Liz even went to college, for crying out loud) like, say, Arlen Specter, but then they saw that even he had enough smarts to leave before doomsday.</description>

Here&#039;s more about alleged &quot;savings&quot; from the NYT: 

(From Althouse Blog): 

http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/11/19/pain-relief-through-photos/

&quot;Forget the medical treatments. Forget even the pain pills. 
We&#039;ll save even more money if we just get these women who are bitching about pain to hold their boyfriend&#039;s hand or look at a picture of their kid.

&quot;More proof that the epic dystopias predicted by earnest movie producers and sci-fi authors as coming from the Nazi right, whatever that is, is, as predicted and predictable, coming to us from the left. As it would.

&quot;These ideas don&#039;t exactly spring from the minds of Milton Friedman, Ayn Rand and Ronald Reagan...but the lefties persist, and I have a feeling they know the results of authoritarianism, but they like it, with that little gleaming twinkle of being Naughty.

&quot;They are mentally unbalanced, lunatics.&quot;

Great. To avoid costly illnesses &amp; prolonged pain when sick, as well as prostate trouble surgery, I’ll listen to Massenet’s &lt;i&gt; Meditation from Thais&lt;/i&gt; while looking at &lt;i&gt;Playboy&lt;/i&gt;</description>

Putting it another way:

Leftist illogic re terrorism is that 

•	Killing terrorists creates more terrorists. It’s like being in one of those cheap horror movies, where the actor squashes a bug &amp; it morphs into two bugs &amp; when the actor squashes those two bugs, they morph into four, etc. 

Non-Leftist Logic is that 

•	Killing a terrorist means one less terrorist to kill us &amp; serves as a warning to would-be terrorists that we are not to be terrorized.

•	Saving a terrorist means that he lives another day to kill you or, &amp; if he’s imprisoned rather than killed, he lives another day to be further saved by ACLU lawyers who engage in what we lawyers call &quot;Motion Practice&quot;, both of which results create more terrorists in the original terrorist&#039;s milieu since these louts then see that terrorism has no real downside &amp; can lead to lots of fun &amp; rewards like 72 virgins.

By the way, isn&#039;t the 72 virgins deal a ponzi scheme?

Anyway, the Dems have actually created a job for Bush 43: Blame Czar. Whatever is not working (any of their things, since Socialism never works) even after Big Laws have been enacted is Bush&#039;s fault. Just get a photo of him dedicating his new library at SMU &amp; flash it on the TV screen with a laundry list of what he&#039;s responsible for. I sent an e-mail to Bush&#039;s library site suggesting that he bow down to the SMU president, but they haven&#039;t got back to me yet.</description>

		<description>These “saved” &amp; “created” concepts are Orwellian when it’s “Enron bookkeeping” re jobs &amp; the loony left babbling about how, when we stop, before they can do so, the current terrorists who want to kill us, we are simply creating future terrorists who will kill us. 

But then, we’re told that one man’s “terrorist” is another man’s “freedom fighter”. 

BTW, up &#039;til some Death Panel got involved the other day, I understood that mammograms saved many (most) women from dying of breast cancer. Now I&#039;m told that it&#039;s not worth the cost since so few are saved &amp; many now can be saved from the discomfort of getting mammograms, or something. I guess it will be the same for prostate cancer with men.</description>
