And as he would say, when hit by personal attacks from the other guys, hit back twice as hard on their record.

Although, I'm sure Shaheen, in a pure strategical sense, was willing to expose Hilary's campaign to a few initial hits if it were to ultimately scare a few "values voters" when they cast their votes in Iowa.<BR/><BR/>Who knows, it may sway a few over to Clinton from Obama, but not enough to make a difference as many in the church pews know they and the rest of the congregation have sins as well. In other words, it could backfire as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30694877.post-64931731950035822932007-12-22T09:49:00.000-04:002007-12-22T09:49:00.000-04:00It is a minority but it's a mighty loud minority.W...It is a minority but it's a mighty loud minority.<BR/><BR/>Wal-Mart learned that last yera when they brought the word Christmas back to their marketing after turfing it for several years. They went out and actually asked people instead of listening to media that had them convinced Christmas was offensive. They found that less than 1% of people found Merry Christmas offensive yet more than 85% found the effort to remove Christmas offensive. <BR/><BR/>The far-left hasn't given up their ridiculous campaign and as ron pointed out even politicians are so ultra-sensitive they can't see the forest for the trees but people are fighting back and saying enough is enough.Spinkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10044519689330008751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30694877.post-63481569418965010142007-12-21T21:46:00.000-04:002007-12-21T21:46:00.000-04:00"I don't see Merry Christmas as politically incorr..."I don't see Merry Christmas as politically incorrect and I think that those who do are a very small minority." -- Actually I am glad to hear that --- I saw about 5 or 6 Members' of Parliment (from all 4 parties) Christmas Cards on a TV clip and not one of them includes the word Christmas. Here in Ottawa we actually had a group of Teaches remove the word Christmas from the song Silver Bells. You may not see the political incorrectness of Merry Christmas but, unfortunately, it is very apparent in society.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30694877.post-44751180998708263892007-12-21T21:23:00.000-04:002007-12-21T21:23:00.000-04:00I don't see Merry Christmas as politically incorre...I don't see Merry Christmas as politically incorrect and I think that those who do are a very small minority.nbpoliticohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09517401409653124082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30694877.post-90401770566022293692007-12-21T17:14:00.000-04:002007-12-21T17:14:00.000-04:00"Political correctness has really gone awry when a..."Political correctness has really gone awry when a man is punished and sidelined for predicting, almost certainly accurately, that someone is eventually going to do something mean and nasty.<BR/><BR/>Political correctiness ALWAYS goes awry because it imposes an arbitrary "feel-good" solution to a real world situation based solely on left-wing ideology. The reason you see it this time is because you don't agree with the arbitrary solution. In the past you probably agreed with the solution so gave no thought to those being imposed upon by the ideology.
