The press thought if they ignored the Clintons they would go away.

The press also thought if they didnt mention the Edwards affair no one would notice thus handing a plum to the Clinton side. The so-called secret could be saved until just before the election, taking Edwards out with no time for rehabilitation. And Silky could talk his way out of this if he had time. Bill Clinton pulled it off.

The mildly humorous part is Edwards staffers were left hanging without a shed of prestige on convention day, guaranteeing they would never regroup to help Edwards

Timing is everything

Once again Hillary has timing on her side because the convention is in your face now.

She is the cat toying with the mouse who thinks he is a big dog

guess so.. it’s like why is he here?

Massive inferiority complex.

You once suggested to me that I not feed alphie, but it can be hard at times, no?

Yeah, I think we should disband the U.S. military Chakra.

Infantile worship of anything in uniform isn’t a requirement to being a Republican.

Besides…it looks like we’re cutting and running from Iraq anyways….what do we need a military for now?

alphie

and a nice little gem here from you too man

America would be $700,000,000,000+ a year richer if we disbanded the military,

alphie

let me quote here from something you might not be very familiar with (based on your above statements)

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

-Preamble to the U.S. Constitution

and

Clause 12: To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
Clause 13: To provide and maintain a Navy;
Clause 14: To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces; Clause 15: To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions; Clause 16: To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;

-Article I, Section VIII, U.S. Constitution

Finally to protect annoying socialistic weasels like yourself (and European freeloaders) from anything bad in this world (you know like a really bad case of death)

I mean to quote Bill O’ Reilly here

I understand that change and hope and health care are big themes this year, but I’d like my health care program to include not being blown up by fanatical killers… File that under “preventive medicine.”

Does that answer your question as to what we need a military for?

Also do note that more money can be saved by either scrapping or otherwise reforming:

a.) our horribly conflated tax system

b.) entitlement spending (Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security to name a few (thank you very much Mr. Compassion in Chief btw for making this job a helluva lot harder on us Reps))

and

c.) our pork barrel aka “earmark” spending (can I get an oink oink?)

Oh, wait, he already did.

Should be:

3,650,000,000,000 p/y Iraq War.

Igrone the second number, that was a misread.

And Trillion(s) should read

1,000,000,000,000X

America would be $700,000,000,000+ a year richer if we disbanded the military, Smitty.

alphie on August 25, 2008 at 10:02 PM

What is it the libs quote, 10B a day in Iraq, that’s only 3,650,000,000,000 p/y. And we’re getting a great RoI on it. (Return on Investment, for socialist clowns who don’t know anything about business.) I doubt the rest of the non-war military composes 696,350,000,000,000+ p/y.

America would be several TRILLION (1,000,000,000X) dollars richer if we cut all of our bloated, poorly managed, horribly inefficient entitlement programs.

So why don’t you want to cut those alphie? You want government to be efficient, don’t you?

Oh wait, you’re a socialist, your favorite countries are bloated, entitled, and defenseless, whereas America prefers being known as efficient, hard-working, and armed to the teeth.

Maybe to help during natural disasters, like during Katrina when the helicopters were lifting people off of rooftops or in California when they were helping to put out wildfires, or in the midwest when floods hit and they help to fill sandbags and exacuate people.. or when the Navy bring Aid to places when tsunami’s hit.. quit being a troll.

Thanks! Glad you both enjoyed it.

‘Cuz it’s like science fiction or a badly staged, cheesy, mini series or sumpin’

alphie on August 25, 2008 at 10:02 PM

And you forget to add, We would all be worshiping Islam.

Gold!

btw, anyone else notice Hillary’s face? Time to release the Strategic Botox Reserves.

In other words, the U.S. military is in no position to stop China, Russia or Hugo Chavez from invading us…if they wanted to.

America would be $700,000,000,000+ a year richer if we disbanded the military, Smitty.

alphie on August 25, 2008 at 10:02 PM

And where would that leave you when someone, like, oh, I don’t know, China, Iran, Russian, etc. came and took over our country. Your beloved ranting rituals would be over, because your dumba$$ would be in jail for speaking your mind about any political situation that came up.

Do you not know that freedom is not free and that whether you like it or not, there is a price for everything. But then again, so far, the price has obviously not hit home for you, so why would you understand.
