		<description>I have played-yes. It&#039;s an archaic game orgininated in the Mideast, the Chinese thought at one time it&#039;d solve our differences in war (chuckle), and I personally know people who have beaten Grand Masters but ultimately those same people have whipped my butt so...no-I refuse to admit it. 

  Why?</description>

		<description>without &quot;Obamamania&quot; ...
Coleman would not be here if he were a true conservative, and a third party 
candidate would not he here if the above two factors did not haphad pen at the
same time.
Conservatives cannot lose their focus being mired into this type of 
hyperbole.  
We did not have a conservative candidate.  We had an appeasing
candidate.  We, as conservatives, were not even present.  Let us not forget that fact.</description>

		<description>I am indeed Ron Coleman!  You wouldn&#039;t &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.likelihoodofsuccess.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;mistake me for Norm Coleman&lt;/a&gt;, but although I may have more in common with certain aspects of Al Franken I would certainly vote for Norm over him!

And either I have one more fan than I realized or Paula likes &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.likelihoodofconfusion.com/?p=812&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;bodybuilders&lt;/a&gt;!</description>

		<description>It is not my intention to agitate &quot;against&quot; Republicans but to agitate &quot;for&quot; them to be more representative of their namesake. My bad.

		<description>But why did so many conservatives stay home or vote for third parties this last election cycle? It is a thorny dilemma Paula. Like many other conservatives, I have held my nose and voted R because, unlike Mr. Niemackl, I agree that arresting the damage the the left is doing is important. But how and where do you draw the line on the compromises that must be made to win elections?

		<description>Is being a Republican Party member now a requisite for participation here? I think you are familiar enough with my thinking to know why I&#039;m here. 

If you would like me to leave, just say so.</description>
