I guess I have to start disscounting your statements now... Cause that was just conjecture... I could name a few Republican wives that say stupid things as well... But why?? Who gives a F???

No we want you to live up to the Compasionate Conservative thing as well as FINALLY start being accountable for misstakes...

Now is not the time for politics - it's time for healing and help... Anyone who's hip to world events knows that the potential for Moslems to appreciate our efforts is there - but that's not the issue... It's about helping now... Not tootin our horns...

Words are important when your guiding US foriegn policy... One word can start a war or create an enemy....

I never claimed that there wasn't political capital to be gained in the situation. All I claimed is that it was pretty friggen stupid to make the statement she made within that forum. I think that may have sacrificed some of the potential political capital from these recent events. The point is that this woman is going to be Secretary of State. What she says has a big bearing on US relationships. Our chief diplomat can't afford to make these statements.

And XJ...if our country was Satin everything would be ok. Everyone would be warm and comfortable. You might have the occasional slide out of bed injury, but all in all I think it would be a better place.

So now is not the time for politics? Who made the relief effort political? Who is planning to delaying the final Rice vote? Who tried to delay the senate vote for the president? Libs did. So when you want to use the slogan "now is not the time for politics"....look to your own party for the bipartisanship :P

Actually, Germany and France are providing more aid than the US. Australia more than anyone.

Some are providing more Financial aide. BUT, who else in the world has teh resouces to deliver it? Our ships are there with aircraft and other methods of delivery. We went into countries and immediatley helped to open airports and seaways. Our heavy equipment will be first on the ground, why? Because we can and it is already there.

So, 35 Mil to evaluate, 350 Mil donated from taxes, over 200 mil donated by citizens so far, and local support by our military which is not on the bill.
