That's what this has come down to. The House Republicans want to hold America hostage so that they can save their party - the exact same party that has caused this problem:

"At the end of the day, there's a lot of people thinking about how to rebuild this party," said GOP strategist Ed Rollins on CNN, "and do we want to rebuild it with John McCain, who's always kind of questionable on the basic facts of fiscal control, all the rest of it, immigration. And I think to a certain extent this 110, 115 members of this study group are saying, here's the time to draw the line in the sand."

"That's pretty scary stuff that they're thinking about party right now and not country, is that what you're saying?" responded host Anderson Cooper.

"I think they're, yes, they're thinking about themselves," said Rollins. "I think they don't think that the threat is as great as a lot of other people do."

This would go hand in hand with the House Republicans wanting to see the whole market collapse.

And what about John McCain? Well he is right in the thick of it:

"Bush is no diplomat," said a Democratic staffer, "but he's Cardinal freaking Richelieu compared to McCain. McCain couldn't negotiate an agreement on dinner among a family of four without making a big drama with himself at the heroic center of it. And then they'd all just leave to make themselves a sandwich."

Is that the man we want leading our country at this time, or ever? Perhaps it is time to declare the House Republicans and John McCain a new axis of evil. They are acting just like terrorists, putting their ideology before the good of the people.

Of all people, it looks like McCain may have just lost David Frum. They key point from his post:

Here's I fear the worst harm that may be done by this selection. The McCain campaign's slogan is "country first." It's a good slogan, and it aptly describes John McCain, one of the most self-sacrificing, gallant, and honorable men ever to seek the presidency.

But question: If it were your decision, and you were putting your country first, would you put an untested small-town mayor a heartbeat away from the presidency?

I am saying, and I can't believe the words are coming out of my fingers, I agree with David Frum. Partisan politics aside, John McCain has picked someone who's resume is Mayor of a town of 6,000 and 2 years as Governor of a state of 600,000 - 1/5 the size of Chicago. This person is put into place to be the second most powerful person in the free world.

And how does this play into the American dream? Joe Biden has worked his ass off to get where he is at. Sarah Palin is there because she is a woman who shoots a gun and is pro-life. Face it - that's the only reason McCain picked her. How can I say that? See her resume above. Just the constantly developing news coming out tonight about the scandals she is involved in is all the proof we need that she was not vetted.

This is totally disguising:

A state police academy leader has disavowed the slogan of the most recent graduating class urging one another to "go out and cause" post-traumatic stress disorder.

Each class at the Idaho Police Officer Standards and Training Academy is allowed to choose a slogan that is printed on its graduation programs, and the class of 43 graduates came up with "Don't suffer from PTSD, go out and cause it."

So what did they do about it in Idaho? Nothing!

Ada County Sheriff Gary Raney, who attended the Dec. 14 graduation, pointed out the slogan to the academy's director, Jeff Black, minutes before the ceremony began, Raney said. A photograph of the program was e-mailed anonymously to news outlets throughout the state.

"That's not something we encourage or condone," Black said. "It shouldn't have been there. It was inappropriate."

Black said the class president was ex-military, and that the slogan "slipped in." He declined to identify the graduate. Black said future slogans would be vetted by academy leaders.

What should have been done? The academy should have told these idiots that they are not graduating. Instead they will go through the entire process again - including the mental screening. Police brutality is on an upward rise in this country and morons like this will certainly help add to that statistic.

Please support Duncan Hunter in his fight for the 2008 RNC Presidential nomination. Here is a good look at your new man:

Come on, you can do it. This man needs your support dear Republicans. He proved to the world that we do not torture at Gitmo by simply showing what we feed them. He still believes strong in Rummy, and you never know - maybe he will keep him as the Secretary of Defense. This is the perfect man for you to support. Give him your vote in the 2008 primaries and get your killin' on.

Josh even has some great slogan's for Hunter's run.

This week has been one of the deadliest weeks in Iraq since
the war started. Now it even has more Republicans wondering if we should stay
the course. Here in Ohio, we were hit hard with a majority of the soldiers who
perished this week residing in this state.

There is some good news coming out of the Pentagon this
week however. No we are not pulling troops out of Iraq. Their also isn’t a
sudden surge of veterans benefit. This news is one that is guaranteed to boost
the morale of the soldiers.

The Pentagon released details today of “Military Idol”.
Going after the same theme as Fox’s “American Idol”, soldiers around the world
will get to compete in the first rounds to show who has the best vocals. After
that, the winners will move on to the finalist round at Fort Gordon, GA to
compete to become the inaugural “Military Idol”. The final competition will be
held on the week of October 17 through October 23.

This competition is sure to draw a wide range of talent
from the military as they fight to win the first place prize of $1000. During
the first rounds, they will be voted on by judges and peers. Peers get to cast
one ballot during the second and third rounds, but if they feel someone deserves
an extra vote then they can receive an additional ballot by purchasing a snack
or meal.

Full details of the competition can be viewed
here.

I think a possible slogan for this competition should be
something along the lines of:

Sing your way from Fallujah to Georgia.
