May God grant peace and comfort to the family of Captain Bencosme.

Thanks IT for this heads-up.

The statement that makes me ill is, “Becker pledged to ensure ballot access for as many people as possible.” “...as many people as possible?!” How about as many citizens as possible? How about as many registered voters as possible.

I fear we are in the final days of this Republic!

Sorry, I just really, really, really dislike Harry.

Let’s not forget Senate majority leader Harry Reid who said on 19 April of this year (as reported by Anne Flaherty of the Associated Press),

“I believe myself that the secretary of state, secretary of defense, and - you have to make your own decisions as to what the president knows - [know] this war is lost and the surge is not accomplishing anything as indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq yesterday.”

He stated he thought the war could not be won through military force but only through political, economic, and diplomatic means.

...but he totally supports the troops by tearing down their morale while building up esteem of the freedom fighting terrorists.

I love these guys!

It does have a familiar ring to it.

Excellent post; thanks for the ping.

Looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks.

Announcer: “Ladies and gentlemen, that repetitive thud you hear is Mr. Swett banging his head on our console.”

;o)

Congratulations to you both. Can’t wait to read this one. Ordered one tonight.

I see you are in good form tonight. Really enjoyed the posts from Mr. Danger.

Thanks for the ping. It's beginning to look like old home week.

As if I was not getting enough ribbing down here in Marineland for being Air Force...

Hey, where is my sticker?

Now is not the time for us to let up. We must expose JFKerry for who he really is. The stories on his failure to release his military records, as well as being a Communist sympathizer must be pressed.

I for one do not want to hear his bile for the next 4 years as he continues to tear down this country and our president.

Letting everyone know to watch tonight.

BTTT

Incredible work, IT!

His response was incredible. He stated in part that because he could not get his way on certain legislation that, “…I came to the conclusion that the only real solution to this was to get George Bush out of the White House. And that's when I decided to run for president, and that's the period of time that they're talking about.”

With no due respect to the Senator, he was not elected by the people of North Carolina to run for President, but to serve our State’s interests in the United States Senate. He had a responsibility to the people of North Carolina to fulfill his obligations to our State. His willingness to quickly abandon North Carolina for his own ambitions shows a serious lack of integrity and begs to question how he would handle the office of Vice President.

Yes Virginia, there are two Americas.

Well done, IT.

Watch your back and keep up the good work.
