Having been in the Navy I will have to say this: "...squids feed on lower forms of marine life..." But in reality, Marines are some of the best troops in the US military. Some folks here have no understanding of what being proud of your country actually means, so don't worry too much about their comments.

Um, if you actually used reading comprehension, you would see that she pulled the tape to REVIEW it, and while doing so, found that Sarah Palin was NOT a member.

When I said eliteists in DC, I was not talking of any particular party. Also the feeding frenzy for contractors has had a lot more to do with 9/11 and the focus on increased military and preparedness spending than much else. There has definitely been spending on military installations and upgrades, but in recent years that has slowed down a lot.

Wow... look, the Democratic talking points. The guy from the Politico makes it sound like those were the ONLY questions they asked.

Which is why Sarah Palin would be a better choice than any of them. Period. I am sick of eliteists in DC and on TV trying to tell us how to think. What the Republicans did when they got into power was ridiculous - the spending like there is no tomorrow has got to stop. Just because tax revenues increased does not mean that spending has to increase more. And as much as Barrack is promising tax cu

Actually not a bad list. I may not agree with all of it, but that is ok. I would argue on the NASA point though.

Yes, I read the stuff where she was trying to have her married quietly. I think I can understand that given the circumstances.

Andrew Halcro is an independent that lost in the Alaska Election to Sarah Palin. To say that his opinion, or his blog might be biased is an understatement. If you go back and read through his posts, he has tended to be wrong on many issues he went on about prior to the election. So to suddenly think that he is the font of wisdom on anything Sarah Palin other than losing to her is laughable. Like

No, this is the Obama feel good rally. This is a common problem for the Democrats, and one of the reasons they cannot get any traction on McCain. They advocate against everything that common sense says we should be doing right now, and also insist on increasing social programs at a time when we have record deficits - and just turning off the Iraq spigot will not make up the balance. Also they are
