I'm LOL at your total Alan Colmes style of militant libtardism. Evidently in your mind you believe you have some credibility here when the reality is that you've been coasting with the credibility tank on E for some time now. Just libtard yammering.

Maybe this is the reason military spending is the sacred cow. If US turns into dictatorship, military will remain at high levels. That being said, any dictatorship in US will have a difficult tiime staying in power, if history is any guide.
As long as they don't bring up the largest expenditure at all, they are all talking out of their ass. I don't even care if they say they are FOR or AGAINST the US being World Policeman - just f'kin take a public stand on the issue and say why you would or would not consider Defense cuts - and by how much. There is a chart of how much of GDP US spends on defense vs other countries somewhere....
Sorry folks. This is just a re-write of a mostly factually-false email that circulated in 2000. Gore was replaced with Obama and Bush was replaced with McCain for this latest version. There is no stamp on the bottom of the foot of Lady Liberty saying U.S. liberty will perish in 200 years. We make our own destiny. Now buck up Bucky and be part of the solution instead of part of the problem. (Not directed at you Lucrum. Directed at the conspiracy types on this board that lap up these types of stories with vigor.) http://www.snopes.com/politics/ballot/athenian.asp
Respectfully disagree. The next kill_aerospace_fire_whitey target will be the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program. I've get 10 hot dollars that say the F-35 program will be cancelled by the end of 2011 leaving us mostly defenseless considering that F-15s and F-16s are coming apart in flight and cannot be retrofitted. Perhaps Obama will defend us with harsh words or maybe a few drones.
Yes sir, they did. Classic liberal "replace and cancel" strategy. First they claim the F-35 is the replacement for the F-22 and cancel the F-22. Now they're saying the F-35 "isn't good enough" and will cancel it. All the money will go towards redistributive policies and social justice malarkey. Panetta is the knife-man.
