The only question is which one is which?<BR/><BR/>Tony - the question put to Seals last election was not whether "peace" was a good thing or not. A third grader with basic social studies skills knows that of course it is. <BR/><BR/>However, Congressmen like Kirk live in the adult world. The general question that was put to The Pup, as a potential Congressman for the 10th District, was which side would he choose to support in an armed confrontation: Israel or terrorist nation-Iran? <BR/><BR/>"Peace" is a great goal that all rational human beings desire. But, sometimes bad things happen between good (i.e., Israel) and bad (i.e., Iran) countries. <BR/><BR/>The problem with The Pup's response on this important issue is that most of here in the 10th District don't want a third grader representing us in Washington.<BR/><BR/>The Pup has had two years to come down on the side of Israel and "clarify" his peace-train response to this straight forward question. Being such a big supporter of Israel and all, I wonder why he hasn't?<BR/><BR/>The Dumber prize goes to The Pup on this one folks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194608964536238003.post-18775294537625922452007-12-31T15:48:00.000-06:002007-12-31T15:48:00.000-06:00Publia 3:31-You are correct Dan Seals does need to...Publia 3:31-<BR/>You are correct Dan Seals does need to list income he paid himself from his campaign.

The international issues will of course be a huge part of the discussion, but when all is said and done, it's still about the 'me' issues that will get voters out next November. Mr. Kirk's commitment to universal access to care as opposed to a single payer system will resonate well with voters out here. His strong stand on secure borders is the majority position here and around the country. In spite of what that obsessed woman with her cat at her side is saying over "there", the voters here in this district are not duped by Democrat talking point Dan or silly soud bite Jay. I'm predicting that Congressman Kirk will present voters here with some specifics on key issues that will have him return to Congress for a well deserved, well earned 5th term. And by the way, Anon 10:50, I think one of Ellen's followers should give her a gift for the New Year: a year's supply of her meds, industrial strength seems to be needed.

After the events of the past week, and with the stupidity shown by Danno in his now infamous email on the earmarks, Mr. Kirk's re-election should be a whole lot safer. The voters in this district are not stupid. They're not going to send some half-wit to represent them in DC.
