Bill Frist still keeps a white doctor's coat in his car and has always been willing to dispense medical advice _ whether during the anthrax scare on Capitol Hill or on overseas trips he makes to provide medical care to the poor.
That's a big difference for the Republican Party," University of Virginia political scientist Larry Sabato said of the man Republicans picked in December 2002 to become Senate majority leader.
A political conservative who opposes abortion and favors tax and spending cuts, Frist has crossed the aisle to work with Democrats on health and education issues, including legislation to reform Medicare, fight HIV/AIDS globally and give states flexibility in spending federal education funds.

 The Horserace- by Justin Raimondo
The official antiwar candidate is, of course, Howard Dean, but his claim to this mantle is limited to opposing the invasion before it began — while averring that we can't just leave, because there's more folly to commit.
The Iowa caucuses are no more "democratic" than a similar (albeit more restrictive) process the U.S. is currently trying to impose on Iraq, but their outcome has already catapulted a pompous nonentity to the front ranks of the Democratic pack.
As a political strategist, Morris may have some insights to offer: as a military strategist, however, he's a complete washout.

As neat halves of Charlemange's empire eventually formed, France in the West and Germany in the East, the stage for the greatest battles of modern war in the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries would be set along the seam, from Nieuwpoort (1600) to Ramillies (1706), Waterloo (1815), Verdun (1916), and the Bulge (1944).
She came to be regarded as Notre Dame de Thermidor, "Our Lady of Thermidor," because of her influence and involvement in the coup of the 9th of Thermidor (27 July 27 1794), which ousted Robespierre and ended the Reign of Terror.
This was the essence of modern totalitarianism, already implied by Rousseau, later theoretically formulated by Hegel and Marx, and practiced by Lenin, Hitler, and Stalin.

Though he usually acted as the Irish government's chief agent in conducting the business of the House of Commons, he was the spearhead of the opposition to the government in the mid-1750s, and won popularity by his resistance to the government's proposal in 1753 to appropriate a surplus in the Irish Treasury.
These concern, inter alia, the general election of 1761; bye-elections for Co. Cavan, 1756, and for Cork city, 1764; municipal elections in Co. Cork; Lord Shannon's pretensions to the lord treasurership in 1764; and military and ecclesiastical patronage; with scattered references to English politics.
They concern Irish, English and foreign politics, with comment on the events of the '98 Rebellion, reports of rumoured and actual administrative and military appointments, and news of births, marriages and deaths among the family's friends and acquaintances.

But, based upon personal exposure to both sides of the political spectrum, this mammal can confidently observe that there is more tolerance for differences on the right side of the spectrum than on the left.
Rather, he's appointed a crony, whose record of political donations smacks of opportunism (or "pragmatism") more than anything else (a Democrat when they controlled Texas, a Republican when control shifted), and whose great moment of political "courage," according to her supporters, involved asking the ABA to stay neutral on abortion.
A political prodigy, he entered Cambridge at 14 and Parliament at 21, where he immediately established a reputation as one of the greatest orators in an age of great oratory.

That explains quite well why you feel so at home in a political party that expresses itself with such hatred.
I have no objection to any group trying to convince government to adopt their values in the form of law...up until the point those values are expressed as the "right" values because they reflect the value of their religion or organizing within and through their churches.
translation- people of faith, for whom their religious convictions actually mean something, are free to participate in the political process, until it appears they may actually elect candidates who articulate principles animated by those religious convictions, then they are 'imposing their religion' on others and become 'hateful ideologues'.

As I stated earlier, the rest of book talks about why Hillary put up with all of the various “bimbo eruptions.” It’s the same old argument that has been made time and time again: she tolerated Bill’s sexual escapades with other women so long as he could get her political power.
Of course, she’s established herself in the Senate as a centrist and a war hawk, but as for what her actual strategy will be for capturing votes, who the heck knows?
Attacking her for being a liar and a power hungry opportunist certainly isn’t going to go anywhere with the voting public in today’s political atmosphere; have you met the current president?
