That's a major issue for Michael - but not by any stretch all he posts on

But your mention is timely - I believe another attack in Gaza just!

Thanks for being from a Solid Blue Pro Obama State, it's States like yours that will give the President the Election....

It's like listening to a couple of used car salesmen, most people can see how both of these candidates and their surrogates use the media to beguile the public, and don't care to do a little research and look at the merits of each ones policies, and character.
When you go looking at cars, do you believe all the sales talk, or do you want to take a test drive, look at the performance and reliability record ect. ? It's a practical dicision, not emotional or "what will others think of me if I choose this one or that".
The one thing that stands out head and shoulders above all else, and that is, the present administration has no intention whatsoever of changing course, they intend to continue in the same direction with their 'set in stone' policies, that's what we have to look 'Forward' to, no 'Hope' of any 'Change', seems like a lot of people are very happy and satisfied with that.

So. Did you chose not to enlist? You were certainly old enough despite what you've said earlier. You really weren't spared. You spared yourself and let others, like me, serve. I don't have a problem with that, btw. But your post was a lie.

I will keep asking, and you will keep dodging. You know...like serving.

I'm sorry Mr Mootsie, math doesn't lie...

Math has nothing to do with it. You were either draft eligible, old enough to enlist and did, or old enough and didn't.

Pretty easy to clear up, actually. I think you lied.

So yes, they love Romney. He'll act very conservative, and then give in to the Dems.

So, you don't stand by Reagan and his somewhat progressive policies?

Not his 'progressive' politicies, nope.

Well, I am personally aware that they don't take everyone. Some are rejected on physical reason, and some are rejected because of the intelligence level. At one time many were called and few were chosen and now fewer apply and even more aren't accepted. So there are two options in this case. Well actually a third, they were accepted and then later separated from service and there are several options on that. Not all are good.

Unlike the Democratic Party (or the GOP, for that matter), the military requires a high school diploma or GED, and officers a college education.


So saying the military is populated with dumb losers is quite inaccurate and dishonest.

I have no doubt in '08 you were here salivating over Sarah Palin and harping that Obama didn't have a chance.
