I've taken two. One to defend my country from all enemies, foreign and domestic. The second to my wife a little over 20 years ago, to be there for her in sickness and in health. <br /><br />Don't see a need to take another.Fixerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09672137568947891733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530739.post-38753164042467858502011-07-25T14:58:26.332-04:002011-07-25T14:58:26.332-04:00The helm, being at the highest part of the ship, i...The helm, being at the highest part of the ship, is the last to go under.Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772126106416366135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530739.post-69930195752127316662011-07-25T11:31:55.292-04:002011-07-25T11:31:55.292-04:00My take on the situation pretty much agrees with y...My take on the situation pretty much agrees with yours. It has seemed to me for quite awhile that the so-called Republican party is like a 9th or 10th grade high school clique - they just want to "win." They either don't understand or don't care that they will be running a pile of rubble.<br /><br />I've also had musings on foreswearing one's self by signing pledges and oaths (G. Norquist pledges) prior to or upon taking office. Does that not indicate that one gives precedence to the private party oath over the oath to the constitution? Or maybe I'm just too scrupulous when it comes to taking an oath and/or making a promise. ?<br /><br />Jay in N.C.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
