risr, we’re talking about square breathing for relearning to breathe after
stopping cigs.
We were driving through AR recently heading and there was a sign for Hope and The Doublewide Library. Husband asks if I would like to stop. Luckily, he
was smiling when he asked it.
I could not remember who Rollins had worked for..Whitman. That’s where he
went around telling everyone he did an illegal thing. He bragged about it and
this is the man Huckabee has working for him. Shades of the Clintons!

Katieanne, don’t know about your breathing problem or why you have one, but have you tried the pursed lip breathing technic? I personally suffer from emphysema, enjoyment of smoking all those cigs has somewhat been diminished. I use the pursed breathing technic when short winded helps considerably.
Best of luck with it.

I remember Arkansas as being the summer play ground for the mafia elite…looks like they spent some time in Hope?

Amen, Katieanne! How goes the breathing?

So far, so good TXRose. Now what I have to do is get in the habit of doing it on a regular basis. It’s not a habit yet.

True, Thompson did vote for BCRA. He has had at least the good sense to walk back on his support for it, unlike it’s father, McCain.

I hope it has nothing to do with this;

I hope all the readers of this blog know that their beloved Fred Thompson was a huge supporter of McCain-Feingold, and was once considered the “liberal Senator” from Tennessee.

Not to crash your Iowa pipe dreams or anything.

All anyone has to do is look at all of their records to find who is liberal and who is not.

BTW, just who considered Thompson the ” “liberal Senator” from Tenn?

No, that’s right CS. I was just replying to Alohaguy that the Russert interview was not just rhetoric. They talk about his record in detail, whether you agree with it or not is a different issue. Not sure I agree with it all, but I have to say it was impressive.

Republican “clean” campaigns have not always been that truthful. Pay attention to what Romney and Giuliani now say about what they did as Republicans in liberal areas. Google the ads Romney, Huckabee and McCain have run about each other.

In the interview he explains his record.

Clinton explained everything in the interview also..

Now all you have to do is throw a pile of crap out into the ether and someone will latch onto it and run with it.

Michelle seems to do a good job of that when it comes to Fred Thompson. I do not intend to be judgemental, but the facts at hand are damning:

Compare the lack of countering facts to the caveats here about Huckabee.

Notice no caveat in the Thompson “quitting” story today at MM in which they invent a “non-denial denial” that simply is not there unless you read into it a John-Kerry-in-Cambodia sized portion of nuance and imagined things. Furthermore, this rumor has been sharply and solidly denied by Rich Galen talking with Byron York at National Review’s Corner blog. And thats in addition to a press release, etc, that have followed this, show his fundraising and intention to fight this onward.

Yet Michelle has NOT posted any of that in a followup – maybe she is the lazy one, not Fred?

She posts the smear but not the correction as has happened in the past. If that is deliberately the case then its despicable. And it shows a de facto irrational animus against Fred (unless Michelle has decided to no longer be a conservative).

Plus I still have yet to see Michelle’s apology and admission that she was wrong over splashing the “silly hat” kerfluffle on her front page, etc.

By the evidence at hand, Michelle is in the process of beclowning herself in regards to Fred Thompson.

Michelle, actions speak louder than words. Why are you so quick to post smears on Fred and not correct them just as quickly, or apologize later?

Conservatives wonder.

I still say the Huckster is running for the wrong party. This guy has absolutely no business running as a conservative.

Huck voted for disclosing before he voted against it.
