You do realize that the real war mongers are the people calling for ceasefire right? After all we can't allow a clear cut victory for either side to occur because that might allow **gasp** peace to break out. So the war mongers want to only reset the cycle of violence again so in a decade or two we are right back at square one just as we have seen play out for decades now.

Was it Sen. Lieberman or Joe Manchin that founded No Labels? I forget. They traded top spots at one point. Lieberman was NOT a Democrat, he was a registered Independent - but like Bernie he caucused with the blues. I broke my hip, or rather full pubis from a direct imppact less than a year ago. Men survive broken hips better than women on average. When I read the headline "..dies from a fall" all I could think of was Putin and the Kennedy spoiler campaign that is designed SOLELY to through the 2024 election to the House. (RFK JR's #1 money man happens to be DJTs #1 money man, Tim Mellon). I thought... " _Did Joe finally get it?_ "
This is why older politicians need to retire. Age 82 makes people fragile, something as basic as a fall can take them out.

People quality > Party. Anyone can pretend to be anything to win votes (ex: Santos), but not everyone = high quality. McCain should have picked him even if loss seem inevitable in '08 with the market crashing and the great recession looming. I voted for Obama and waited until 1-2 am during election night for confirmation with friends, especially as Palin's choice confused me, but I would have considered McCain and thought about the choices more if he was VP.
