Unf—cking real. We need to defeat the Rat’s . McCaskill is a Union hack. She has risen in power as she is a lefty like Kerry.
I read this last week but didn’t reply.
Missouri must mot fall to the left.
If McCain/Palin win, we need to push them for educational reform. Vouchers, homeschooling, anything besides the liberal bastions of hell called public schools.
why isnt the press hopping on this story?
.. and this could be the year!
(In 1992 was the House bank scandal, pay raises for Congress, and the Keating Five. I don't remember the outcome except the House did not change hands but I believe there were a large number of retirements.)
Whatever it takes let's help the National Capitol relieve itself and clear the bowels of Congress!
One unspoken motive for letting China in ahead of any US bids, is that the US military is now the foreign legion of mercenaries for the Chinese hegemony, bound by so many economic ties that it would be difficult at best to try to shake them off. You see, they now have us in such a degree of bondage, that we jump at their bidding, to assure access to oil shall be kept open to ALL consumers in the world, and not just locked up for access to whom the cartel might want to reward or deny for one purpose or another. This way, it is the American war, not the Chinese war, and the Chinese may continue to operate below the radar. If the Americans were not there, the Chinese would have to go in and clear their own access to petroleum production, and eventually, take it over themselves by occupation and maintaining extended military logistics, and why do that when you can get the Americans to do it for you?
The Chinese have a sufficiently tight stranglehold on our entire economy, that they could cause vast disruption easily any time they wanted. Think this recent market panic and scramble to restore liquidity was anything less than a perhaps two-pronged approach by different players to gain the attention of the American public? On the one hand, we had the MoveOn.org crowd, exemplified by one George Soros, who has been manipulating the trading of specific commodities, particularly crude oil, in recent weeks, then we have one of the biggest foreign holders of US securities, who may be working at cross purposes with George Soros. It is a struggle that has popped out into the open, and the Chinese are not graceful losers in any negotiations. In fact, one would be inclined to say the Chinese do not intend to lose.
The US is just a piece on a vast chess board, and not even able to direct movement of much of anything. All we can do is trade our current strategic position and influence for a possibly better control of the board down the road. Or see it get traded away for us, by some inept and unready new Administration. And all with the acquiescence of the US Congress, which cannot or will not see the dangers.
China is already off the Florida coast with an agreement they have to drill for oil with Cuba. Several years now, I’m not sue if the platforms are in place ... however the agreement is signed.
