Unfortunately, I do not trust Obama to stay away from Iran either. Washington seems to be quite eager to have a go at Ahmedgingerbread. There would be far fewer wars if the CIC actually had to lead the troops into battle.

 

p.s. In case anyone doesn't remember that far back, I opposed the invasion of Iraq. Sadam was bad, but he wasn't any threat to the US or UK.

Let me guess...

 

Because that's not a title?

 

Commander in Chief

 

 

It astounds me how little you know. Our school system has certainly failed you. You need to demand an education!!!

HELLO !

 

The friggin' guy is COMMANDER IN CHIEF !

 

How much higher can one go?

 

I really have a good chuckle with some of these posts !

If Romney gets to become President

it would be the first time a

Christian did not get elected.

"In the film Saving Private Ryan an American mother sends her four sons off to World War II and very nearly loses them all. Perhaps, Ann Romney should make a date with Netflix this Mother's Day.

 

I won't touch the recent flap-up about whether she has ever worked a day in her life. But I can say with certainty that Ann Romney has never worried a day in her life. That is, she has never worried about the safety of her children fighting overseas.

 

The war in Afghanistan is now in its 11th year and the five Romney boys -- now in their early 30s to early 40s -- have been of prime military age all the while. But like most of today's political leadership, Ann Romney has never sent a single son, much less four or five of them, to war."

The complaints have been about them baptising dead people, including my own grandparents! Doesn't really offend me, because I think it is nonsense anyway. But a lot of Jewish folks got irate when they found out someone had been proxy baptising Holocaust victims as Mormons. WTF is that all about?

 

Values? Sounds like solid math. If you believe in the Christian God then Jesus and the Devil are two sides of the same coin.

"LOS ANGELES (AP) — Clint Eastwood earned plenty of bad reviews for his latest performance: a bizarre, rambling endorsement of Mitt Romney.

 

‘‘Clint, my hero, is coming across as sad and pathetic,’’ tweeted film critic Roger Ebert as Eastwood adlibbed Thursday night to an audience of millions — and one empty chair — on stage at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla. ‘‘He didn’t need to do this to himself. It’s unworthy of him.’’"

It seems that Ryan's speech was mostly based on lies and falsehoods. As I understand it is the fist time in US history that a candidate (not some Super PAC or minor surrogate) was spreading so obvious lies during his most important speech.

 

SEAL book raises questions about bin Laden’s death

 

 

 

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — A firsthand account of the Navy SEAL raid that killed Osama bin Laden contradicts previous accounts by administration officials, raising questions as to whether the terror mastermind presented a clear threat when SEALs first fired upon him.

 

Bin Laden apparently was hit in the head when he looked out of his bedroom door into the top-floor hallway of his compound as SEALs rushed up a narrow stairwell in his direction, according to former Navy SEAL Matt Bissonnette, writing under the pseudonym Mark Owen in “No Easy Day.†The book is to be published next week by Penguin Group (USA)’s Dutton imprint.

 

..

 

Bissonnette also writes disparagingly that none of the SEALs were fans of President Barack Obama and knew that his administration would take credit for ordering the May 2011 raid. One of the SEALs said after the mission that they had just gotten Obama re-elected by carrying out the raid.

 

But he says they respected him as commander in chief and for giving the operation the go-ahead.

 

Bissonnette writes less flatteringly of meeting Vice President Joe Biden along with Obama at the headquarters of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment after the raid. He says Biden told “lame jokes†no one understood, reminding him of “someone’s drunken uncle at Christmas dinner.â€

It's quite an interesting read.

And . . . these nice fellas want to do away with the Post Office too. Those overpaid union government empployees. Gone. Let minimum wage non-union dregs deliver the mail. By for profit private companies.

The postage rates will increase so that the stockholders can get dividends on the stock that they own from these private mail delivery companies.

That makes sense, of course. Minimum wage dregs will be much more accurate in delivering the mails. And the stockholders will get a good dividend. The best of both worlds for the delivery of the mails. Got to love the thought processes of those Republicans. Always looking out for the little guy. Always looking out for the "middle class".

Ryan: Rape is just another method of inception

 

This perhaps should be on that other thread about abortion but I'll put it here. Again, its a religious issue for the right. Scientifically, fundamentalists like myself (and I would deem myself fundamentalist in doctrine not in action, I'm a whoremongering, flawed Christian). Can't mix religion and politics folks! This statement is just plain wrong. Its insensitive.

 

Gurantee you that if any of these hardcore pro-lifers had a daughter raped or some black guy or latino guy knocked them up, they'd make an exception...LOL. I'm actually laughing as I write this thinking what would happen if the 18yo daughter of Mr. and Mrs hardcore fundamentalist in small town Iowa got pregnant by a black guy.

It turns out that the 9 people who got shot (wounded)

in front of the Empire State Building in NYC

were hit by the police (friendly fire)!

Nicely said.
