Errr... in Nevada, people would have a problem with some guy cheating on his wife with another guy's wife? :blink:

Sure.  It's almost as bad as a Senator from Lousiana sleeping with a hooker.  :lmfao:

I thought he was a Republican too. :huh:
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

(oh and hating sluts, aka "pro life").
Didn't you say that the fight over abortion would be the one element of the culture wars to continue indefinitely because there were merits too both arguments, or am I thinking of someone else?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

That kind of subtlety and depth of thought would be out of character for Marti.

Yeah, it surprised me so I remembered it.

QuoteI think abortion is one of these rare issues that will indeed continue to divide people for decades if not centuries to come, because unlike other "moral" issues (gay marriage, assisted suicide, sex ed, contraception) it is a bona fide conflict of two strong ethical principles and not just an attempt by the bigots to preserve the social status quo.

Family Values is a popular thing to run on.  Really all you have to do is keep your indiscretions secret and you sound like the voice of the moral majority.  They aer a powerful voting bloc after all.  The bigger question is why anybody would believe it.
Once all the squeamish old people die off, we won't have to worry about shit like "family values" in politics any longer.  Fortunately today's youth have no values whatsoever. :)

:o Blasphemy!

His fixation on soft underbellies and invading Greece makes him mediocre in my book.

Also, Patton was overrated, Rommel fucks dogs and Zhukov wasn't fit to to be dogcather, let alone a general.

If being fit to be a catcher were a requirement, Red Army would be left without generals.
