I'm A Small Government Conservative.

I Have No Way Of Knowing How People Really Feel, But The Vast Majority Of Those I Meet Couldn't Be Nicer. Every Once In A While Someone Barks At Me. My New Year's Resolution Is Not To Bark Back.

I'm Such A Sap For Democracy And Politics That I Get Weepy When I See Anybody Voting.

This Is A Major Step Forward In Achieving Our Objective, Which Is An Ally Having A Democratic Iraq, A Country Able To Sustain Itself And Defend Itself, A Country That Will Be An Ally In The War On Terror And A Country Which Will Set Such A Powerful Example To Others In The Region.

Early Withdrawal From Iraq Would Result In Unarguably, Defeat And Humiliation For The United States. There's No Question. We Would Be Defeated By Definition. We Would Be Humiliated In That Defeat. I Don't Think There's Any Other Way To Argue It. Whether It's A Good Thing Or A Bad Thing Is A Separate Question.

To Politicize A Man's Tragic Death Is About As Low As You Can Go, Isn't It?
