As I stated in a previous post, we could have had John Danforth as our Vice President:
_______________________________________________
John Danforth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Danforth
John Claggett Danforth (born September 5, 1936), also referred to as Jack Danforth, is a former United States Ambassador to the United Nations and former Republican United States Senator from Missouri. He is an ordained Episcopal priest.
Danforth is married with five adult children.
Education and Early Career
An heir to the Ralston Purina fortune, Danforth was born in 1936 in Saint Louis, Missouri. He recieved his bachelor's degree from Princeton University in 1958, and attended both law and divinity graduate schools at Yale University. He served as Missouri's Attorney General from 1969 to December, 1976, when he succeeded retiring Senator Stuart Symington in the U.S. Senate. Danforth's original Democratic opponent, Congressman Jerry Litton, died in an airplane crash the night he won the Democratic primary. Former Governor Warren Hearnes was chosen as the nominee after Litton's death, but lost the general election to Danforth. Danforth was re-elected in 1982 (defeating Democrat Harriett Woods)and 1988 (defeating Democrat Jay Nixon). He retired from the Senate in 1995.
Senate Career
During the 1991 Senate hearings regarding U.S. Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas, Danforth used his considerable clout to aid the confirmation of Thomas, a former Danforth aide and protegé.
A political moderate who is respected by members of both parties, Danforth was once quoted as saying he joined the Republican Party for "the same reason you sometimes choose which movie to see — [it's] the one with the shortest line".
Post Senate Career
In 1999, Democratic U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno appointed Danforth to lead the investigation into the FBI's role in the Waco, Texas/Branch Davidian disaster of 1993.
In July 2000, Danforth's name was leaked as being on the short list of potential vice presidential nominees for Republican candidate George W. Bush, along with Michigan Governor John Engler, New York Governor George Pataki, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge, and former American Red Cross President Elizabeth Dole. Just one week before the Republican nominating convention was to be held in Philadelphia, campaign sources said that Dick Cheney, the man charged with leading the selection process for the nominee, had recommended Danforth to Bush for the position [1]. Bush secretly met with Danforth at a hotel in Chicago, and three days later Danforth held a press conference stating he would be stepping-down from his appointed role in the Waco investigations because an unforeseen political opportunity had suddenly come-up. However, despite growing speculation that Danforth was Bush's final pick, Bush selected Cheney himself for the position.
In September 2001, President Bush appointed Danforth a special envoy to Sudan.
On July 1, 2004, Danforth was sworn in as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, succeeding John Negroponte, who had left his post after becoming the U.S. Ambassador to Iraq on June 23, 2004. Danforth submitted his resignation on November 22, 2004, effective January 20, 2005.
Religion
As an ordained Episcopal priest, Danforth officiated the funeral services of former president Ronald Reagan on June 11, 2004 at the Washington National Cathedral. He did the same for Washington Post executive Katharine Graham in 2001, also at the National Cathedral.
In 2005, Danforth wrote two separate op-ed pieces in The New York Times criticizing the increasingly blurry line between church and state brought about by some Christian conservatives in the Republican Party. [2] Danforth regards himself as a moderate Christian, and does not believe conservative fundamentalists such as Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, or James Dobson accurately reflect the Christian faith. He believes such right-wing preachers have "hijacked" the Republican Party. Where once the party focused on cutting taxes and regulations, says Danforth, it is now the party of the pro-life, anti-gay, and anti-stem cell research movements.

Why is it I see this statement all over the Global Inter-Thingy this morning? Did the Daily Kos have an expose this morning? All we've been told so far is that Armstrong Ranch is a a hunting ranch. What you are describing is a "Game Preserve" and yes it is a pretty twisted way of hunting. The birds are captive bred and have very little street smarts. I've been trying to find info on Armstrong Ranch and can't find anything as to what kind of hunting is done there. I do know Texas is loaded with private ranches that the rich use for hunting as there isn't much public hunting land. This does not mean the land is not wild hunting land. It just means it's private. But like I said, I can't find any info on it so if anyone can show me it operated as a game preserve, I'll eat my words.

" NBC REPORTER TO WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN: 'DON'T BE A JERK'
Tue Feb 14 2006 08:54:18 ET "
" NBCNEWS chief White House correspondent David Gregory warned President Bush's spokesman on Monday not to be a "jerk!"
The heated exchange came during a press gathering at the White House.
Gregory asked White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan about the Cheney hunting accident.
'David, hold on, the cameras aren't on right now,' McClellan replied. 'You can do this later.'
'Don't accuse me of trying to pose to the cameras,' Gregory said, voice rising. 'Don't be a jerk to me personally when I'm asking you a serious question.'
'You don't have to yell,' McClellan said.
'I will yell,'' said Gregory, pointing a finger at McCellan at his dais. 'If you want to use that podium to try to take shots at me personally, which I don't appreciate, then I will raise my voice, because that's wrong.'
'Calm down, Dave, calm down,' said McClellan.
'I'll calm down when I feel like calming down,' Gregory said. 'You answer the question.'
'I have answered the question,' said McClellan, who had maintained that the vice president's office was in charge of getting the information out and worked with the ranch owner to do that. 'I'm sorry you're getting all riled up about.'
'I am riled up,' Gregory said, 'because you're not answering the question.'"

No such thing as a county-wide, game sanctuary in Texas
Key word is "public lands" i.e. basically it's illegal to hunt from the highway or county roads, and no fishin in rivers or creeks that aren't on private property
re-read your link
BTW
There's nothing "prefabricated, disneyland, golf club" about the Armstrong Ranch, it's one of several huge, world reknown ranches that have been down there for almost 2 centuries, a major part of Texas history and folklore
over the years they've all imported exotics like rhinos, emus ect..for show, and also nilgai and axis deer for game hunting
and quail harvesting is normal, when people pay upwards of a 1,000 bucks a day for a hunt on those ranches they wanna make sure there's plenty of game to be found and shot
I grew up 20 mins from where this happened, blasted the shit out of plenty of deer and furry little animals all over those ranches and from the sides of the road... Ha~
...as a fellow, lifelong hunter I think it's pretty shitty when an accident like this happens though

Hey fucknut speak for your damned self! Tele and I speak for roughly 52% of the American population so that would make you in the minority. In fact if you were to exstrapolate out all the loses that the Dems have suffered in the governorship votes,city council votes,mayoral votes,state rep votes,....well then it's plain to see that as long as the once great Democrat Party continues to embrace limpwristed pillow biters like yourself they are over as a party of any relevance. Be happy Jizzy! I think I can safely speak for Tele when I say,we both are very happy!

its true...our party has no leadership...those that are in charge are almost "negative" leadership...they sap momentum away from the left and make the right look more palatable...and make the bad guys stronger! that is the only explanation why dubya was able to win the presidency (once)!
and hillary....if she runs it's all over!
i am throwing my support into the barak obama 2012 campaign. by then perhaps the american public will be more receptive to electing a black man with a funny name.
on the other hand, perhaps a mccain/powell victory in '08 would help bring both sides together. he is a fine american!

Hey Bucky I hate to be the bearer of more bad news,but.....the next president is going to be George Allen (R-Va.). Remember,you heard it here first!
I should mention that I truly do want to see the Democrats get their act together. A one party country is good for nobody. Neither the country,the populace,or the controlling party. Absolute power leads to,....blah,blah,blah. It's true though. It's high time the Dems start dumping the likes of Soros,Moore,Sheehan,MoveOn.org....The present Dem party are too emboldened to the far left. Yet they never seem to understand why most normal Americans think they are nothing but angry,spoiled,whining punks. Well hell! Take a look at the names I have mentioned and try and imagine any of those kooks being happy about anything other than a Bush impeachment?!?! That's not gonna happen so move on(no pun intended),and take control of the party back from these freaks!!! They are killing the party! As I have stated before,slow suicide is is still suicide.
Hillary in '08? God I hope so!! Please nominate her!! I beg of the Dems!

riffy, you're crazy! the nomination, and most likely the presidency, is mccain's or powell's for the taking in 08 if they want it. they would both be perfect for the job--sane minds after an insane past 8 years.
one other thing i don't understand: i agree with you partially about your assessment of the dem party. we lack leadership and some of the prominent dems are too michael moorish for their (and our) own good. but can't you see that the men who control your party right now are just the same kind of kooks, only in the other direction? bush, cheney, rummy, wolfie and the rest are just as far right as the names you mention are far left...its just that for some reason they were able to get themselves elected .... (once!)....
actually, the dearth of good leadership on both sides of the isle is sickening. we have had nary a good leader since, say, wellstone died......
