My dad, which is a lifelong consrervative, is starting to sound like sandman.  this has me very concerned. he's 76 years of age and until about 6 months ago he seemed fine.  does that mean that when we approach the twilight of our lives we become anuses?

he feels that he won't vote in this election.  a first for him.  he feels that we will be garrisoning Iraq for years to come and he's concerned with the welfare of his grandchildren.  this from the guy who was even more disappointed than I that vietnam ended too soon and I didn't get to shoot a bunch of communists.

Be sure to wear gloves. The ground can damage your knuckles if you're not careful.

Maybe it means that there is a difference between Liberal, Democrat, Republican and Neo-Conservative. One can vote Republican and still think the Neo-Cons, an extreme version of the Party are a response to 9/11 and going down the wrong path.

Why don't you explain to your Dad your concerns and tell him you think he's lost his marbles - let us know what his response is.

Better yet, ask him if your observation that old age has made him an "anus" is correct.

Well I would have suggested that but I don't want Storch to have to come and tell us all about how a 70 year old kicked his ass.....

I believe Skuzzy has said over and over that If you cant stick to the subject of the thread perhapes you should not say anything!

You might wanna think about that.

there you go again avoiding the issue. Pehaps if you didn't use so many aliases and either backed up you outrageous claims OR stopped making them people wouldn't hijack your thread. Stop avoiding questions and issues and we will stop hunting you down on your threads and forcing the issue.........well some of us will.....well i will

that is a hell of a way to talk about your dad.

And he is not alone, BUsh* support is eroding, his approvals at a all time low and negatives at an all time high.  To make matters worse for the GOP, turnout in key battleground state Pa was really poor fo rthe Specter/Toomey primary, while Dem primaries have been setting attendance records.

You see, the US is waking up to the fact that the emperor has no clothes.

A reporter once interviewed a famous 80 year old and asked "how does it feel to be 80?"  

He said "I feel like I'm 18 and having something terribly wrong with me."

I haven't heard/read if this is politicians or military command in Iraq pushing for this "buffer" Iraqi military unit in Fallujah (sp?). The fact that the U.S. is using a former commander of the Republican Guard (and a Sunni) is SMART ! The commander of this unit still reports directly the Marines for now (last I heard this morning).

We’re putting the Iraqi Robert E. Lee in charge of the rebels..
Think about that for a minute...

Well now we know why saddam had all those mass graves. To use a phrase from a friend in Jackson, MS "They needed killin"

Wishful thinking.

Anybody named Myers is obviously wise.

Shouldn't it be "Anyone named 'Meyers'?" (eg)
