I get internet info campaign material from both political parties.
Just got one from Chuch Norris......titled......"An Affair to Remember"
Chuch does have a way with words. Anyways this is on the Edward's infideility case. Norris says that Edwards is not calling it what it was...a sin...or adultry...or a lie. Rather Edwards is sugar coating it as a 'mistake' and 'serious case of misjudgement'.
From Chuck's position.....born again Christian.....I can understand that is why and what he is wanting to hear from Edwards. But who knows John Edwards heart on the matter....like John and God?
Just like the PC of the left and far left wants to hear....certain things from Christians and righties.....it seems also that righties and Christian want to hear certian things from the left and the far lefters.
We got to find some tolerance in this....of what we are asking the other to say and expecting to hear.....to give room for symantics and difference of word knowledge, uses and definitions. You go to the dictionary....look up most any word.....of substances......and you find 1/2 dozen definitions.
Saying that doesnot mean that outright lies and fabrications can be tolerated. Our democratic society cannot function with such.
In his piece, Chuck mentions his own one night infideility. And then his sorrow and pain for it. And the redemption from it. So he had to know how strange and hard this is for Edwards to find the right words. But still wrote the piece and got into the fray here.
We getting to the point where...I think that we are acting like 'judge and jury' to other political side. That is not how it should work in America. Where anything that comes from them has to because of political motivation or for political purpose. We have to remain open to the oppositions needs and various points. Someday they will be in power or in minority......and they still deserve the same right to be heard, as you or I would want.
Do I think Edwards is sugar coating his sincerity of mea cupas on this? Maybe so. But is it for me judge that? Or to make political fodder of it? On they latter two questions....the answer is no, in my book.
Indyfella: I'm layin' kinda low....but being my usual helpful self.
Would you believe that what you just responded to, was sent on another thread? I think my computer is trippin in the twilight zone today, I have no clue as to what happened there; but at least you got the message.
wixomwizard: I'm with you there, I was present for the birth of both my kids. I remember when my daughter came out of the oven, she came out kicking and screaming until the nurse handed her to me; she grabbed my little finger and clammed right up until the nurse took her away again.
As soon as the nurse took her again to be wiped off, printed etc. she would start to scream again until she was handed back to me. It was like instant recognition on my daughters and sons part.
What a totaly awesome experience! By the way, good morning nurse, Indy and all the rest of you who I may not have met yet. I hope you're having a great one, so far. Indy, what kind of mischief have you been into today?

I have had the same problem at times. Also my yahoo was messed up. Anyone have trouble with thier yahoo recently?
ttom500: I think that we would have to dig Dude out of some Russian Armor Bridge that is knee deep into Gerogia at the present time.
Yep,Russia did the samething in Hungary in '56.Promised to leave,then turned around and stomped a Mudhole into the Hungarians! Can't trust the Russian's Word. No Honor in Serfs!

The problem might be the Skylark you're driving. I've got some neat (free & very good) clean up, defrag and Registry fix programs I use. Be glad to send you the info if you want it. They have fixed worse than Skylark already.
I think it behooves manipulators/politician's to keep us separated into camps. It behooves us to talk, very good post Tom.

The bear has slowly been regrowing it claws and fangs alright. With it oil revenues it has a flush cash flow to buy the hardware and to pay it industries for the eguipment it needs.
I looked really hard at some pics of a Russian units in Geogria to see how well equiped they are. Still lacking in some cases. Little things.... like missing boots or non military issued clothing.....
But they had weapons, ammo, and gas for thier vehicles.....and if you are going to fight....that is all you need really. They were not afraid to expend any of it. I saw some live footage on a ridge line assault.
Traditional Russian mil exercise....right from the book.....heavy artillery prep.....followed with Aircraft and Hind helo assualt....with tank and AP carrier in close support.
To put all those kind of military elements together.....if you are following what I am saying....takes planning and preparation. This is not just a rag tag response to the Georgian check point incidents....if there were any. But was well planned and prepped.

Thanks sky...I will try anything to get this skylark cooking again. Just drop the site off to my box here. Thanks

I wonder,how much control the Central Government has over its Military,or if it is the Private Domain and Fighting Force of Putin. Interesting too,Dude having to leave so sudden!

They had control problems of the various stan and cis state units under the Soviet Union. Each felt mixed loyalities. But this is a Russian Army that is in Georgia......so my thinking is that they are playing by the rules set in Moscow. Or trying to.
But said that...there seems to be Russian Georgian militias.....from the two breakaway provinces.....that are aiding them with recon and intel. The one news report I read on Gori......said it was these milita groups from the provinces that were doing the cleansing.... Still it all falls at Putin and Medevdev feet.
Moscow today made the statement to forget Georgia terrritorial intergrity (borders). Which just means they are going to carve this country up to thier liking.
