That hasn’t been my experience. I’m sure there are some liberal Greeks, but lumping all people based on race is what the left does, and it doesn’t accomplish anything. I’ve known some Greek businesspeople that appreciate free market capitalism, what we have left of it. They cook great food, and the big fat Greek wedding I went to was the best ever!

Bingo! If Hillary picks anyone with a military background they need to be pounded on ‘classified document handling’ and ‘no man left behind.’

Focus group trial balloon.

Since Trump’s team are supposedly considering a couple of generals, Clinton needs to run one of the flagpole and see if it will work.

Apparently, for this to have ‘leaked’ [yeah, right, when have the Clintons ever had anything ‘leak’ that they didn’t want out?], Fauxcahauntas must not be polling too well as the VP contender.

It is jarring every time I hear about a member/former member of one of our armed services being considered as a DemocRat candidate. How could someone who devoted their life to defending the country represent the party that is destroying it from within?

My attempt to answer this starts with noting that it seems the ones who run as DemocRats (Wesley what’s his name and the guy in this article) are always high-ranking people. A number of ex military Republican politicians seem to come from lower rankings (below general staff level) such as Allen West, Tom Cotton, Joni Ernst, just to name a few that come to mind.

From this distinction, I draw an inference that to get to the higher ranks in our military, you have to be a true butt-kissing, bureaucratic, ruthless climber who willingly goes along with all the latest fashions in social engineering, multiculturalism and political correctness. IOW, a classic DemocRat politician. Republican politicians come from the ranks of the guys who actually lead troops in the field, get their hands dirty and do the hard work. IOW totally unqualified to be a DemocRat politician.

I’d prefer watching her bark, choke, gurgle and turn shades of purple.

She has the facial expressions of anger, she shows anger and force when she speaks at Rallies, trying to get her supporters angry. She shows anger when she refuses to have press conferences, refuses to answer to an average American, she requires her questions in advance, due to FEAR of giving an unscripted answer...my opinions and I’ll stick to it.

and I bet she is angry and upset, and worried for she sees internal polls that she has insight to. and they are scaring her and her handlers. I’ve read the language her handlers use, and that alone scares me, thinking they will return to the White House if we DON’T GET OUT THE VOTE..

Have known him for more than four decades — a backstabbing, “me first” weasel who became a Perfumed Prince of the Pentagon. Not a warrior by any stretch; kiss-assed his way up the promotion chain.

Perfect choice for a Hillary running mate. She may even be taller than the sawed off runt.
