I'm so happy to hear Leo that this digusting piece speaks for you.But you know,I continue to thinkyou guys are really just a bunch of jokesters who know the difference between a hot rock and your a&&. I have have expectations that your really going to wake up and realize the world your trying so hard to live has run it's course. We're old fellows,and the youngsters really don't care about black,red purple,Muslom,Jew,Athiest,they just don't give a f***.

They are the future ,and they belive,in record numbar,that things are really f8888ed up. really,really fd up. Do you blame them? With garbage circulating around like this they skoff and poke fun at us old people for trying to hold on to a dead dream.
Stay armed Leo,stay ready to blast away in the next truck stop if someone (one of them illigals probly) looks cross eyed at you.
I'll be around Hawk,if you don't like the news go make some of your own.

Thanx, Tallcal. I don't make news, tho. I just vote my conscience, and go my merry way. I stop by the zoo to tease the monkeys every now and then too. ;)

Very good posts, Leo and Greg! Now get ready. Sarcasm will take the place of substance.


Hawk, you want substance? I've got your substance right here.

OBAMA/CLINTON That's the winning ticket! Each will deal with America's problems in their respective area of expertise.

Clinton will get us all the best medical/health care at the lowest price. I'm sick and tired of these doctors and HMO's gouging us. It is high time we have medicine for the people, by the people. I'm thinking about opening a government sponsored clinic in my garage after the election.

Obama wants to impose a tax on "windfall profits" made by greedy oil companies. What exactly is a "windfall profit"? I thought wind was good and wind was green. Wind makes the turbines spin. So I have seen.

It's about time we up the tax on these greedy pigs. Just because they control a commodity we all need, they think they can keep increasing the price. They think they have us over a barrel. Well they're wrong!

After the government collects the taxes the money will be uh, the money will be... given back to the poor and middle class. Yeah that's it. the poor and middle class.

Next up will be taxes on "windfall profits" made by gas and electric utilities. Although heavily regulated now, nothing short of complete government control will put an end to their greed. Coming soon; affordable natural gas and electricity for for the masses.

When Team Obama/Clinton wins a second term, they will set their sights on the transportation industry. Especially the expedite market. Talk about price gouging! You wouldn't believe the rates these companies charge for hauling freight. 3 to 10 times higher than an LTL carrier would charge. Just because a customer needs a part or product pronto they are at the mercy of the Expedite Cartel and their obscene rates.

So be warned Panther, FedEx CC, Express I and the rest of you members of big expedite. Team Obama/Clinton will tax your "windfall profits" to the point that you will wish you never were incorporated!

Come November get out and vote. And remember, only you can prevent forest fires.

I don't know Tallcal, I met a lot of kids who were rather clear that they don't like a lot of types of people because of the PC thing being shoved down their throat. AND a lot of these kids want to vote for Obama because they want to make history. Little do they know that the history they are trying to make will not be easy for them in the long run.

Like the incident in Detriot, there are others no doubt... all to set him up to be someone he isn't. Just like Rosser Reeve during the Eisenhower campaign of 1952, Obama's handlers are making sure that he has a positive image at any cost. Unlike McCain who seems to be the opposite (and most repubs seem to be like this), McCain does not show the same 'staging' that the Dems have been doing. Every election it gets better and better on what is done to make the dems candidates a star, just like the hollywood types.

But we will see more of this form of discirmination in the near future, more of the make sure that there are only this or that type of demographics sits in the audience and where to make things more effective. Maybe we will hear that Obama's handlers used the Col. Parker approach to audience participation (which was a copy of Sinatra's bobby sox's way drumming up interesting in him) - you know the screaming 'fans' who sometimes faint who are hired just to do that.

The other thing, not to change the subject but Huckster there said that the repubs need to pretty much run a clean campaign. I don't know about you guys but I think that McCain and the repubs need to grow a couple and pull out all the stops. Maybe do a Lyndon Johnson on some of Obama's people, or just be plain down right dirty because if they don't, then they don't want to win.

Do you mean the rally attendee conveniently right by the stage who nearly fainted until "saved" by a bottle of water from Obama? The one that happened to be at 8 rallies in a row?

Cal, I know a lot of young people starting with my 2 daughters and their husbands. Add a number of their friends and classmates at the universities. Thankfully that group of young people isn't so foolish as the ones you reference. All of these young people see Obama for the phony he is, for the socialist he is, for the anti-American he is, for the cancer on our nation that he is. Sadly, the less intelligent youth get the press coverage and exposure. Thankfully at least some of the youth is smarter than that.

That would be a winning ticket alright. If Obama took Hillary, a significant amount of his supporters would be furious and stay home on election day over this betrayal. Plus, the notion of Hillary being in the picture would energize the Repubs and conservative independents to the point that we will be standing in line for hours to vote this fall. Yeah, it would be a winning ticket. A winning ticket for McCain.

I'm not voting for Obama and if that makes me a racist thats fine. I don't like him and I can't trust him. Another thing TallCal you talking about young folks don't care about black,red,purple,muslim and atheist you are wrong. I'm a young man and I care. Because I get tired of all this affermitive action bs. See down South you can be turned down for a job if your white, but not if your black. Why can't they get some qualifications and get a job the same way everyone else does? why should everything be handed to them? Well, there is a Negro running for President. We got to hand it to him.

I wouldn't be quoting MLK greg. He wasn't nothing but a socialist/commie trouble maker. My "African-American" fourth grade teacher told me that. They didn't want to go to school with the white kids but people like King forced it on them. That's from the mouth of a woman who was in the South when it all went down. Not watching on t.v.

Here we go again.

Tell You boys what. Some on here couldnt get into the military but but wouldnt hesatate to send anothers sons or daughters off to a foreign land. Some on here went into the military and then got out. Vice making it a carreer. Some one here just dont get it!!! IF you did you wouldnt be saying the things your saying. For one Black white Red yellow it dont matter. What matters is that the Person is an American and standing up for the American Beliefs and the The People not the stupid Cooperations and crap. Who gives a hoot about the dum oil, heck we got plenty of it all we got to do is build a few refrineries and start pumping and refine our own. Far as wall street goes they controll the stupid price well lets knock them down as well. Heck who cares about the hurrican season is going to be rough oooh we got to raise the price of oil as it going to be a bad season. Who cares if the Chineese are buying minies vice using there pedal bikes. Supply and demand. Right. We got enough oil here off our shores so somebody please go slap your buddy ALGORE in the head and knock some sense into him. His power usuage is would lite up Holleywood So Im told. HA.

Know the Candadates Mcain Obbama

Mcain a war horse who supposedly a mustang right well mustang he isnt as he got himself clipped when he went off to be a senator vice getting an admiral position.

Obbama you say is a musslum. Hey how many musskeys have you truely seen ??? for real not on TV either?? Come on tell.
I seen enough of them I watched them beat the heck out of their wives with wips and was told not to do a darn thing.
Obama is not a muselum or Koran for that matter. So now stop that sharade.
Tell it like it is the facts there are many here dont want a black man for president. Well I can give to sheets to the wind on that one.
I want for this country is for our Goverment to take of the people vice taking care of all the other countries.
The Govt is suppose to be for the People by the people. not the other way around.

It dont matter 1 man cant do it buy himself nor can 1 women do it by her self.
IT takes a 2 to make a team to pull the plow so to speak well somtimes it take 3 the house the senate and the President all pulling in the same direction to make a difference. This Country should put aside their petty differences and learn to work together no matter weather they are Demos or Republican. Now as far as Taxes I think we have been taxed enough. I here the Dum states have let other countries take over the toll roads as well.. American selling its self short or off geesh how stupid are these people???

The war effort right I say back out and let these people have at it. maybe they will get wise and go kick the crap outa the Saudies and then maybe just maybe a little justice will be served. needless to say they are nothing more than abunch of women beaters any way.

Iraq they been fighting each other since bibical times even though back then it wasnt called Iraq. Iran him Nuke the Towel heads heck make it one big glass parking lot.

This whole war thing well look back the Price of Oil sky rocked after we took out Sadum H. Well Well whos to blame I tell ya Bush is one and his Kronis are another. He took his sights off of the Prime Objective that was Bin Lauden as he got out the back door. Oh Im afarid he is quite alive and we need to look no fruther than at Libbia its self. Hint. He wouldnt be stupid enough to go to Iran or Siera or back to his home land no no he wouldnt and he sure isnt in Pakastan or Affganastan or Korea for that matter. Nor is he in the EMRITES. Libbia I tell ya (HEY Kadoffie want to tell George how good he is doing again. then go back quite)

Ya People Issues Issues and No my Brain isnt Frozen.

Obamma Macain Mcain Obamma hmmm

Which one. Well since I want to do one more time over there then as You LDB I have to go with Mcain
But since I dont want my Kids getting Drafted Id have to go with OBamma.

Tough choice but easy for those that dont have to go but just sit on the side lines and play side line quarter Back. hmm

Let me let U in on a secret excuess to me are petty

If you have served your time then speak your peace but if you havnt then you truely dont know what it is then do the best thing you can support those that are. In other words
knock off the Side line quarter back as you realy dont have a clue.

Can we united as one in this country make a better tomorrow yes we can together we can if we all stick together. IF we dont and we keep stabbing each other in the back then No we cant. Just like the Ratings only the select few can rate. Hmm Interesting. I would say there is a bit of Communism in that aspect.

Power Given to the Few so they can say I have Control I have Control.

By the way LDB Moot Layshooter Dreamer just so you know who ever gets the Presidents chair I just hope that that person will be for the People of this country and not for big business and not supporting all these other countries. I also hope that the House and Senate can and will work together on making this country better not fighting each other and pork barrreling bills so that our childern and there childern Inherate a Huge Defecite. If my spelling is off oh well.:)



You all have a nice day.

Im not going to sit here and go toe to toe with somthing petty as that.

If you couldnt get in the service that is one thing. That is if you realy couldnt. Example a Trick Knee. Ok get my point.

What Billy Bob Clinton did run to Canada or where ever Is the Whole Idea of Non Patrotic and should never have been President Peroid!!!!

My issue is this, This whole Oil thing is a bunch of Crap.

The issue of messing with Iran is a bunch of Crap.

The Issue of this Country is now gowing Broke is a Bunch of Crap.

What we did to the Soviet Uniion in the 80 is now being done to us. Slowely breaking US to poverty level.

Like the Rubble back then Our Dollar is being laid to waste.

Wake up America Its time to take Our Country Back.

Stupid States selling toll roads?? GOOD GOLLY

Stupid Wall Street Raise the Comodites Price on Oil becasue of a Prediction of The Hurricane Season. GOOD GOLLY

Stupid Politics fighting each other on Capitol hill trying to pork barrel bills GOOD GOLLY

THen THen OOOOMMMM GOODNESS the MEXICAN Invasion

What is this country comming to.

Build the some Refineries Put Americans to work Drill more off shore wells and and while were at it take the next step in hydro Electiic Transportation.

Build more Nuke Power Plants and Set up more Wind Turbins for Power.

I dont want to here about the Nuke power plants all our submarines and Carriers are Nuke all is fine there.

They need to invest in America vice selling off to the Austriala and China and Japaneese.

Think about it.


NO LDB Im not against You, Im just sick of the same OLD PRO QUO I see and here every day.

The same ones Rate the same ones Vote the same ones keep making all the choices and running this country into the Ground.

Just remember the Electorial Vote is what makes the President no matter what the Popular Vote is just ask
ALE GORE. He will tell ya.
in other words no matter what it not the people in charge but the Bureocrats in charge.
It should be the People .

have a nice day :)

Normally, I wouldn't respond to your rants, other than to say "HUH???". But you brought up one thing I think I'll educate you on. Whether you listen or not is up to you. But I think there are others who can grasp the concept of the Electoral College.

The original idea behind the Electorate was that smaller states did not want to be totally overridden by larger, very populated states. At the same time, they couldn't be made equal. So a compromise was developed.

The number of electorates in each state was made up of the number of representatives (population) plus the number of senators (equal footing between states). What that does is give the heavier weight to the more populated states (CA, NY), but also gives credence to the less populated states. For instance, WY has one representative, as compared to CA's 53. In a population based election, WY would be at a HUGE disadvantage, when electing our president. But since equal footing (senators) also adds into the equation, WY now has 3, and CA 55. The difference is still huge, but the ratio of power is now reduced from 53:1 to 18.3:1.

This also negates the power one state can have if 90%+ percent votes a certain way. A simple majority is all it takes to win all of a state's electorates (with the exception of Maine and Nebraska, who splits their votes among their Congressional districts). Thus, you will have times where a person might gain a majority in population (popular vote), but lose the electorate. All that means is Gore got a vastly higher popular vote in states like CA and NY; but Bush eeked out a popular vote victory in multiple states like FL.

2000 wasn't the first time it happened. The elections of 1876 and 1888 also ended with the loser of the popular vote winning the election. So anyone thinking the Electoral College was a ploy to give Bush the White House, should look up those two elections and educate themselves.

In 1876, there were FOUR states where the popular vote was very close (again, FL was one of them). There were also allegations of fraud (likely, but no proof).

There was an ironic similarity between the elections of 1888 and 2000, in that the loser would've won if he had carried his home state. Grover Cleveland lost NY by 1%. And Algore, we all know, couldn't carry TN.

Hey thats right on the money. and thanks I knew that but the same old pro quo no matter how you look at it exists.

Doesnt matter man if its here or in the Senate or Congress its alive and well. You see it every day.

Far as Obamma or Mcain, Who is going to get this country moving and will the Congress and Senate work with that Person or not you got to ask yourself that.

Fuel, Medical Care, Wages, Housing, cost of Living, Food Princes. ta name a few.

How about investing in this country vice sending it over seas.

Knocking these big corps in the head and let em know they move theire plants else where to another country like mexico or canada well they will be in for a rude awakening.

How about getting the troops home.

ect.

If the Congeress and Senate and the President all work together how much smoother will things run and then get these stupid lobbiest thugs outa washington so things wont get bogged down becasue some stuipd bureocrat got his her pockets lined with the green stuff. :)

Let's do this list one by one...

Fuel - if we don't drill on our own land, we are at the mercy of the Middle East. Pure and simple. Democrats are in bed with environmentalists, who don't want us to drill. Pure and simple.

Medical Care - not the business of the US gubbermint.

Wages - should be regulated by supply and demand... not the US gubbermint.

Cost of Living - if they lower our taxes, we'll be able to afford to live.

Food prices - stop giving farmers subsidies for not growing anything.

Punishing corps for moving overseas - they're already punished here by the US having the second highest corporate tax in the world. Lower it, and they'll come home.

Troops - difference of opinion. You rant and rave about others not serving their country; yet I wonder what kind of discharge you got. Please tell me I'm right in thinking it was a section 8. ;)

Why should we punish corps for going overseas? Those people need jobs to. I'm surprised that some of the bleeding heart liberals on here haven't brought that up yet. I really don't give a rip about someone from overseas. The only forgeiners I've ever really liked are Canadians. Them boys are crazy as heck, eh?

T-Hawk,
You know you wrong for that. Saying he got a Section 8. We have a Pvt Pyle in our midsts. Like off Full Metal Jacket. Ha Ha.

Yawn this is getting boring…..

You know it don’t matter, because some people just don’t get what politics are all about or this country for that matter. Just like the ones who think that the only way to understand the military, operations or any thing else is to be in it.

Now bear with me here, it seems that if we don’t keep our troops involved with things outside the country, they will not be able to fight in the long run under different conditions. This does not come from my dribbling make believe mind but someone who is rather well educated and teaches at Carlisle. A few will understand what I’m saying, the ones who don’t – go figure it out. (and a few know what happens at Carlisle.)

The proof of this comes from the adjustments we made with the first gulf war, the time in between and the invasion of Iraq. Within these three events, we failed to anticipate a lot of the issues that came up and addressed each one to fix the problems. Remember the last time we fought in the desert was in 1943. So there is a real valid reason we involve ourselves with things overseas.

The rather sad thing is with this is that we have a system where the military is under the control of the people, the public and they operate with only one purpose, to defend our country – not to provide aid to Burma, not to support the UN but to defend us, the people the country. Being in Iraq is doing just that, it is a needed presents and stabilizing force with a lot of complicated issues which most DO NOT want to understand or care to or can. Regardless who says otherwise, there is a great big picture that is involved with Iraq and there is more to it than just Oil, freedom and spending our money. The same goes for the people who think that we should only have the troops here, within our borders to do the work that we need them to do, which is nothing. They don’t belong here as a police force or as a border guards because that is what we the people made that decision when we founded the country.

With that, if we want to have all the troops home, we have a choice; we can return to the 1920’s troop reduction policies to maintain only a marginal defensive force or to be able to respond to threats by having troops stationed around the world with an offensive force?

For me, I want to have my country’s presents in the place they are in.

C'mon, Jay! I don't know how many times I've brought this up. We bought a Honda van. Not only is it the best made van out there, but it is 70% American/Canadian made! Not Ford, GM, or Chrysler... HONDA! Now what was the big 3's excuse that they made crap? Internal bureaucracy and the UAW. What was their answer? Move their plants to Mexico, where they still make crap.

Sorry... but buying Japanese is buying American.
