		<description>Thanks Bull, you made the perfect point, neither will endorse the other.  However, the attempt at justifying the Isakson vote in favor of the minimum wage is lacking.</description>

		<description>Bull, I hope you are kidding about raising the min wage.  If not, then my buddy Jeff Emanuel just let me know that Arthur Laffer will be speaking at UGA soon.  I suggest you attend this event b/c you might need a real lesson in economics, specifically why raising the min wage is not good for ANYONE!</description>

		<description>Gee Bull, I have a better solution then.

How about we don&#039;t give congressional pay raises then?

The minimum wage is worthless.

And please, Mr. Moose, enlighten me on just how WAY past &quot;needing&quot; to be raised the minimum wage is.  Please, support your argument with facts, and not antecdotes.</description>

		<description>The minimum wage was WAY passed needing to be raised.  You can&#039;t continue to raise Congressional salaries and not touch the minimum wage without looking like a hypocrite.  

The next step needs to be indexing the minimum wage to inflation the same way that political contributions are now indexed.</description>

		<description>Well, you know, them land deals they get pretty complicated. They&#039;re hard to understand, usually get harped on so much people get tired of them. 

I remember an earlier land deal. One of a Misses Clinton, from Arkansas, and her husband. 

 So when the liberal woodshed group gets started about Sonny&#039;s land deals, they can chomp on Wild Bill&#039;s old lady about her shenanigans. Maybe that&#039;s why they called them &quot;she-nanigans&quot; to begin with.

At least Sonny.......had the money...........to cover his. 

Inherited or how ever Sonny was funding his investment, he was covering the liabilities with collateral and accumalated equity. 

Seems like the Whitewater Deal was something about folks with no money getting a prime river tract of timber, poised for development, from some big timber conglomerate. 

I think the payments were being made off money &quot;profited&quot; from some kind of boo-ray cow manuever manure.

That profit was then parlayed into enough materials and airtime, to get po boy Bill&#039;s smiling face into enough hearts and minds of voters by primary day. 

From there they hung a limb, up on a curve big enough to ride some Bush discomfort, and a promise of everything from a man who basically had nothing, to slip right in the back door of the Whitehouse.

Now going for second whammy is the Hildebeast(did ya&#039;ll ever decide on a moniker?) herself, probable originator of the original Clinton for President scam in the beginning.

Bill just didn&#039;t know, his office was only the preliminary for what was really coming.

I can hear the cussing now on Lewinsky Nite,
Bill, you dumm summ b***h, here I is trying to get to be President, and you bout to mess it up. 

&quot;But Bumpkins noodely doo, I&#039;m already the Pres-siii-dentttt&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;( </description>

		<description>No no no ... I love idea of Sonny as VP - this is a great opportunity for Nick Ayers to become VP Chief of Staff at age 25!  Then he really can be one of the most powerful people in the country, DUI be damned!

		<description>Comparing Cheney and Perdue and their skills of survival is a stretch. You cannot compare the two and their abilities. Meaning no disrespect by saying this but Sonny is no Dick.</description>

		<description>So we can assume that Dan Quayle had to campaign? 

That the Vice President will do nothing in the future?

Have no power?

Well, with no one else running, Sonny&#039;s number 1 with a bullet. Someone tell him to enjoy his few days in the sun.

Someone else call Dan Quayle and calm him down. It&#039;s too early for Danny to be celebrating. I know, Dan, I know. It hurts to have been the biggest joke of a Vice President in modern times. But, Sonny is a long shot to replace you.

Go play some golf. Chill. Maybe in 2008. Maybe not.</description>

		<description>If Dick Cheney can survive the &quot;war for oil&quot; and &quot;war profiteering&quot; crap during the 2004 election, I&#039;m sure Perdue can handle what may or may not be an ethics issue. 

Just a thought.</description>

		<description>Bill Bolton is like the Pat Buchanan of the left (good terms) . I would support his presidential campaign, if every ran for President. I agree with him and Buchanan on trade policies we need increased tariffs to help the US compete aganist cheap labor markets</description>

		<description>Riley is the best choice of the group.  He had a long life outside of politics as an entrepreneur with many varied and successful businesses.  He is a solid family man and a Christian conservative, but he has the charisma and likeability factors that will help to overcome left-wing criticisms of his solid conservative record.  He can help throughout the South, having served in Congress and developed close relationships with many southern politicos.  

The only negative:  if Riley leaves it puts a Dem in the Governor&#039;s Mansion in Montgomery.

Barbour is also a solid choice, but I doubt he wants to leave his post in Mississippi and his lobbying background could be a liability.</description>

		<description>Sonny will not be VP!  What does he bring to the ticket?  I like Sonny and voted for him every chance I got, but he ain&#039;t going to be VP.  

If the last election tells us anything it&#039;s that Georgia is about as RED as it gets.  What the GOP ticket needs in &#039;08 is someone who can keep nominal GOP states in the fold like Virginia, Missouri, &amp; Colorado.  If the nominee needs someone to help shore up his support with the southern christian right then yes Sonny can help.  But any GOP nominee that needs to shore up support with the southern christian right might want to start working on his concession speech.</description>
