Median - a value in an ordered set of values below and above which there is an equal number of values or which is the arithmetic mean of the two middle values if there is no one middle number could have gone this way... 1001 donations...500 for under $50, 500 for over $50, and that one (right at the median) for $50 for a grand total of $6.2 million median isn't average, Libyan...I would have thought you knew that!!  But keep on dreaming!!! ;D |

I guess their are lots of people who believe as Ron Paul does - 9/11 was our fault. If we would just mind our own business all the problems would go away. Ron Paul is an isolationist who's foreign affairs beliefs are stuck in the 19th Century. While some of his ideas make some sense, he is as scary as some of the far left democrats running. I will admit to being a big supporter of Rudy, and loved it,when during one of the first debates Ron Paul made his ridiculous statement about 9/11,and Rudy looked as if he was about to go across the stage and attack him (of course,he did not),but it was great to see the passion that he displayed.

Yes, they hate our freedoms. Rudy's look was dumbfounded for sure, as he doesn't understand the problems. Look for my prior posts at the time of that debate. Here is a recent Giuliani event. Watch the live report closely: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXz7Po8YPHo |

Watch the live report closely: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXz7Po8YPHoWhat are your thoughts on Huckabee? His surge is really quite an interesting political story. (I have some real problems with his policies in the past) However, from a political observer standpoint -- he has done so much with so little. For example, he has spent 300K in Iowa -- Romney spent 7 million! He is bucking the most reliable political predictors of success -- name recognition and money. |

I think the media likes him which scares me. He reminds me of Bush.

I can't tell if they like him now -- so he will be the nominee -- just so they can destroy him later. (They are chomping at the bit on his aids position, being an evangelical, and his position on evolution.) Not ripping him now seems to serve their greater purpose I think. He sure is flying high now -- and polls in other states have him surging. He is not a vapor-ware candidate like Dean was for the dems. He basically filled the void I thought Thompson would. That is -- grabbing the not Mitt not Rudy mantle. |

I was worried the Machine might have rubbed you out! LOL I don't think they have an eraser big enough to rub me out...I get my fire from my father, but couple that with a deep routed stubbornness from my mother, and I am just one big trouble maker that will never go away!! (there are a couple of people reading this right now, and reaching for the Rolaids ;D) My absence lately has been more related to the fact that "tis the season for holiday parties"...of course, I behaved myself completely at every single one!!  |
