"And because you engaged in sock puppetry, you can no longer comment on this site."
For those who don't know what "sock puppetry is (from wikipedia):
A sockpuppet is an online identity used for purposes of deception within an Internet community. In its earliest usage, a sockpuppet was a false identity through which a member of an Internet community speaks while pretending not to, like a puppeteer manipulating a hand puppet.This guy tried 4 different identities each with the same comment. Sorry, but if you do that on this site, you are banned from commenting.

OBAMA FLUBS HAMAS, HIZBULLAH MULLIGAN
P.S.
I think you gave Babalu the best ass-ripping I've ever seen. I almost felt sorry for him.
Almost.

I sincerely apologize for my past accusation that you suffer from "white guilt". I thought you were giving him a pass. I now see that you only attack on provable deficiencies (e.g. platitudes on Lebanon issues). In retrospect, I think I agree with you that the failures of his poor judgment (with his choice of associates) pales in comparison to the famine of his foreign policy knowledge. Will it be enough?

AREN'T THERE ANY GROWN UPS IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY?
bb, I stand corrected! Only 5 of 8 of the accused have been exonerated. But you missed my point- Murtha condemned them PRIOR to any evidence. You also missed my point about the current state of the Republican party- by taxing, spending, increasing the size of the gov, they have become, in effect, democrats.
But you are very typical of the far left. Intellectual discourse is impossible, because you hear only what you want to hear. Your arguments are made without evidence (e.g. "sending tax dollars to Bush cronies", "anti-catholic", "war based on lies", etc.)
I can't keep arguing with idiots (sorry for the ad hominem), I actually have a job.

Sgt. Ryker said: "They yell over you, follow no logic, and feel if they scream talking points long enough you will eventually believe them" ...
You have got to be kidding me- this is the democrat's playbook. Where is the logic in denying that B.O. said something when there are a multitude of video records showing that he has promised bi-lateral talks with Iran w/o preconditions? As far as talking over, Hannity and Savage do that to some degree, but the majority of conservative hosts give the opposition a fair shake, which is NOT a trait of Matthews, Olby, et al.
Sgt. Ryker said: "Congressional Republicans called Jack Murtha a Dottle head and a traitor"...
Which congressional Republicans? If you are talking about Hastert and Carter, you're wrong- taking the "cowardly way out" (referring to withdrawal from an armed conflict prior to securing stability) is not the same as calling Murtha a coward. However, they should have called him a corrupt, bribe-taking, troop-hating, dottering old fool. He accused innocent Marines of atrocities without the slightest proof (they were not just cleared, they were exonerated), and refuses to apologize. And serving 30 years in the military doesn't exempt him from criticism for stupid statements.
Ann Coulter? First of all, she called them "harpies", not "whores". But she represents very few true conservatives- she's a media whore, and the media has done a good job of convincing people that she represents true conservatives.
As far as Iraq being a "good idea", 90% of Americans, and 77% of the Senate thought it was a good idea. I don't regret the invasion one bit, but subsequent prosecution has admittedly been poor.
But you and I do agree on something... the Republican party is in dire straights, but for none of the reasons you have listed. Somehow, "Republican" no longer represents smaller government and lower taxes, and until we return to those roots, we have relegated ourselves to insignificance.

Damn, Rick. I didn't know you had so many left-wing readers... did they get the wrong Nuthouse?

This is why I love your blog- you produce genuinely insightful analysis (or at least possibilities) that I would not have come up with in a thousand years. My judgment tends to be clouded by my distaste for everything she has done in the past, and all she does today- it is very difficult for me to assign good motives to any HRC action, and that makes me a lesser man.
But if I was a betting man (and I am not), I would bet that she stays in because she is a rapacious, power-hungry harridan (I had to look up "harridan"- good word).

POLL: AMERICA IS A SUCKY PLACE TO LIVE RIGHT NOW
Please consider this analysis: ignore the Democrat’s opinion of Bush- they have loathed him ever since he “stole” the election in 2000. That 49% always has and always will disapprove of anything he does. However, as a conservative, there are still plenty of valid reasons for Bush to be unpopular: bigger government, massive deficit spending, and soft immigration enforcement.
Unfortunately, those are not the predominate reasons that most conservatives I know disapprove of him- they point to the war and the economy (particularly the sub-prime mortgage debacle). The question I have is why these two issues? Didn’t most of us sign up for this war? Don’t we believe that Bush acted on information that, at the time, was believed to be factual? Is it the President’s fault that people make bad financial decisions and overextend themselves? Is the executive branch supposed to regulate who Bear-Stearns invests in?
The sad part isn’t that the media hates Bush so much (they don’t even attempt to conceal it). The sad part is that intelligent conservatives allow themselves to be brainwashed by a liberal, biased, hateful dreadnaught called the mainstream media.
The war could most definitely been prosecuted more adroitly, but isn’t that true of every war? As far as the mortgage crisis goes, “suck it up” as Malkin says- it’s not Bush’s fault.
All I ask of my conservative friends is that they make sure they disapprove of Bush for the right (conservative ) reasons, not because the mainstream media wants you to hate him.
