2008 Presidential Election

Dismayed Republicans emerge as Barack Obama supporters

Wake up now! NEITHER party nominates a candidate who champions the common working guy. If you believe that either one does, you're part of the problem... blindly.  (13 hrs ago | post #782)

Have you research candidates online? If so, where?

Perusing the candidates web site is research? Geez.  (Saturday | post #93)

Unidentified object seen behind space shuttle: NASA

Yeah, well, one of them will come clean about it sooner or later... clearly it was an empty family size box of Little Debbie snack rolls.  (Saturday | post #208)

Blackwater Buys Brazilian Fighter Jet

It is marginally true. Both entities operate in a grey area between officially sanctioned troops and a totally private army. Both receive a wink and a nod from their respective governments as they enjoy more latitude in dealing with their various charges (than gov't troops), but are protected by the same governments left hand. Hard to say what the motives of many FFL troops are, but in many cases I'm certain it's not patriotism.  (Saturday Jun 7 | post #43)

Blackwater Buys Brazilian Fighter Jet

You make a great point. Add to that the inclination or temptation of the sitting powers to use private "armies" for "unofficial " ops in foreign lands that might be considered to "dirty" for U.S. troops. The French Foreign Legion provides some great examples.  (Friday Jun 6 | post #39)
