Arthur Thomas commented on Rich Rubino's group 'Conspiracy Theories'

Well, if a Jeb Bush/Sarah Palin ticket could become The B-S ticket, then the Richard Cheney/Sarah Palin ticket would have to be The C-S ticket. I do not envy those who would be independent voters in the upcoming election. When all choices are seen…

Casey Jones commented on Don Crossley's blog post 'Focus on the USA not China'

It is disgraceful that we as American's are pointing fingers at fellow Americans when there are enemies on many fronts who don't care about right or left, moderate or extreme, tree hugger or militant. They care about the total destruction of this go…

Don.... A belated Welcome to the Z! The President is taking his eye off of the ball. For the last several days he has done his best to resurrect Healthcare. He won't let go of it while the citizens in the last three or four elections could not hav…

Cheney for President in 2012: No way! I will do anything to keep this man out of office. After all, when he was Vice President he shot a lawyer. Should he be elected President, he might begin shooting all of the lawyers. We just can't have this, and…

This billboard went up in Wyoming, MN. (Sounds like a Bush gaffe) and the question is who put it up...my bet is on Ron Paul who is trying to confuse voters in a town with a confusing name...when they show up to vote in the next election they will be…

Rich Rubino commented on Don Crossley's blog post 'Focus on the USA not China'

Don, I agree with you that the President must listen seriously to his ideological detractors. When John Edwards ran for President in 2008, he talked about the “Two Americas.” While he met this phrase to refer to his view of a social stratification,…

Yes, that site is serious. My guess is that he will get a deferment from this draft. From an electoral standpoint, I am not sure what group would back him in the Republican Primaries. In the General Election, he may have a good shot at winning in Wy…

I can't wait to see all the almost clever bumper stickers that oppose him. Talk about Chicken Hawks coming home to roost. I think too many people have little idea how sacriligious and offensive it must seem to the devout Muslims when we are seen tr…

Lisa commented on Rich Rubino's group 'Conspiracy Theories'

OMG Rich! Is that Cheney site serious, or is it a spoof? I think he would have quite a contingent here in Gloucester, but they would insist that Sarah Palin be on the ticket. She has quite a following here and they are very passionate about her.

Rich Rubino commented on Rich Rubino's group 'Conspiracy Theories'

No Arthur, that is not Lynn Cheney I refer to. There is an activist movement to draft Dick Cheney to run for President. I am sure you will become an active participant in this movement. They even have tee shirts you can buy. I know you would love to…

I am hoping for a ticket of Jeb Bush and Sarah Palin so that I can have a Big bumper sticker that says "Vote for B/S!" We should have left Saudi Arabia immediately, but I am under the impression that we were asked to stay as protection for the Saud…

Its like, when they get elected, they live by "party standards" and not the beliefs of the people that elected them. The President of the United States of America needs to watch the news in the morning (several channels) and then go to work. He or s…

Lisa commented on Don Crossley's blog post 'Focus on the USA not China'

Interesting blog post, Don. You are right that if we focus enough on how to improve the economy in the U.S., then we won't need to be worrying about China so much anyway. Also you are right that everyone should know what is going on over both sides…

Christine... State and federal government already gives Vets preferential hiring treatment. Problem is, all governments are now on an economy wave. In WV our Guv has increased our state budget cuts across the board to 5% and that includes some los…

Christine replied to Bruce Belfield's discussion 'Is The US Heading Into a Cold War With China?' in the group The Veterans Group

Bruce, I agree that the timing of bringing the troops home is important. I wonder if the private sector would consider employing Vets if there were tax incentives to encourage them to do so. However, if Vets were given preferential hiring treatment…
