He's playing to the notion that Bushevik party support is highest among the stupidest segment of the voting population . . .<br /><br />Stating stupid and obviously false statements has no downside with this base . . . rather they've been conditioned to expect it.seydlitz89https://www.blogger.com/profile/15431952900333460640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-381917167978264683.post-42166437173649898452012-08-01T05:07:12.356-07:002012-08-01T05:07:12.356-07:00Al,

Incidentally if he is elected he can keep hrc as secstate since she espouses the same c/a.<br />I laugh when i consider that not one man in Mittland has worn a uniform for 4 generations in a time when the US saw fit to sling lead.<br />I'm 2nd gen Amie and my Dad has a combat action ribbon , and i saw all the movies and read the book about VN.<br />Obomba isn't much of a choice critter either, as i see it.<br />All chiefs and no indians. That sums up our political atmosphere.<br />BTW,ot Charlie Rose had a couple of coin critters on his show, and those bobos are still saying that if we do yaddi yaddi AFGH will turn into a mecca of wondrous proportions. All they need is a strong army and police force, which is something we didn't have for at least 80 years after we built our nation,and we had 3 major powers on our continent. All of whom were aggressive players, not to mention a few angry injins on our frontiers.<br />A strong army and equal police are forces of repression and not of democracy.<br />Neither mitt nor o get this little tidbit of info. And it was freely offered w/o think tank buckos .<br />jimrangeragainstwarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02126542922536584950noreply@blogger.com
