normiss 806 #8 December 9, 2008 I wouldn't worry YET. He's only the guy that worked with Rahm Emmanuel on new health care ideas. For some reason I don't think those ideas faired too well in Illinois. He'll be fine, Federal Golf Course at Eglin still has room for more "visitors" doesn't it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 3,006 #23 December 9, 2008 >Just a few posts into the thread and moral relativism rears it's left leaning head..... Actually, it's the right wingers who defend that picture, since Saddam Hussein was an enemy of our enemy back then, and thus our friend. But add some moral relativism, a bit of forgetfulness about the past, and a pinch of rationalization - and you have right wingers who both support Rumsfeld and condemn Hussein as the baddest of the bad.
