It cannot..."winning" is a bit of a subjective term. It cannot be won because we've accomplished nothing and spent ourselves into oblivion. <BR/><BR/>Just what are we winning? We didn't punish those responsible for 9-11, they're sprinkled around Pakistan, Afganistan, and across the Arab world. Are the Iraqis better off? Perhaps, but was it worth the human and economic price?<BR/><BR/>I'm up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-62512333808711842232008-09-17T23:29:00.000-04:002008-09-17T23:29:00.000-04:00McCarron said...

Who gives a shit that we're in a war that cannot be won with our kids dying? Who really gives a shit about the housing crisis? All that matters is that a politician believes in the lord, drives a big car, shoots animals, wears a flag pin, ensures those "homos" can't marry (although it seems some Republican Senators like gay airport sex, but aren't real big on rights for other gays), attempt to take away the rights of women, cherish small time values like the ever effective abstinence education (see Palin, Bristol). <BR/><BR/>I shouldn't criticize Palin, it's quite sexist. It was great when Clinton was running and the Republicans said nothing about her gender whatsoever. Nattah. Zipped lips.<BR/><BR/>Quit being so hard on the Republicans. They're doing a "heckuva" job.

I think that indicates that if he is in the box he'll be good and not there for show.

No Evening Attire in the Cap despite the Quincy, MA connections with his owners and he was 4th last year. <BR/><BR/>Although if Larry Jones has warmed up to maybe sending Proud Spell to Santa Anita for the BC, we might just see Mr. Kelly change his position on avoiding the Marathon with Evening Attire.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.suffolkdowns.com/mc_news.html" REL="nofollow">Suffolk site, 66th MassCap field, PP, and ML</A><BR/><BR/>By comparison a rather thicker field of 9 will make a go in the Super Derby at Louisiana Downs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-35658650557580722712008-09-17T12:28:00.000-04:002008-09-17T12:28:00.000-04:00Whoa, I point my browser to LATG and get redirecte...Whoa, I point my browser to LATG and get redirected to the Daily Kos!! The Democrats problem is that Obama is similar to Casino Drive; over rated based on a limited track record. I am leaning Obama but I try to be realistic about what he brings to the table.
