      Priorities are to expell Geo. W Obama (DINO and warmonger). Buddy Who? aint gonna be the one.

    4. doodah  04/01/2011 05:34 AM Report

      The word is, 'PRIORITIZE', robd.

      Apparently, you and the big $$ corporate media is afraid of that.

      If that's his Biggest sin (not playing by the 'rules' of partisan politics as determined by the 'Chief'(Chairman)King-Politician-In-Charge-Asshole-Extraordinaire). Your embracing of sensationalized gossip, robd, is a testament for your desire for the continued status quo of evil money led no back bone pussyfied politicians. You don't want Real Leadership, you just like to bitch. .. and we'll all get what we desire; and you're no exception, so save it.

      Totally agree McCains output is crap.

      And Buddy who?

      "Roemer's late-term party switch dismayed as many Republican politicians and activists as it did Democrats, and contributed to a reputation for erratic behavior. One particularly angered was Republican Party state party chairman William "Billy" Nungesser of New Orleans. Failing to get the Louisiana Republicans' endorsement convention canceled, Roemer skipped the event . . . ."

      ...and in the case of War, he potentially would have been OUR 'General Patton'. Which hasn't helped his political career, but he still tries his Best. God Bless him; Because He CARES.

      John McCain has Shit Bigger than you.(and his poop isn't even that big).

      Anybody Serious about Foreign Affairs/Policy would be a Fool not to consider John McCain's insights. If he hadn't had been so injured and maimed, He would have been an Excellent General or Admiral.

      Seriously, there has not been a more perfect Presidential candidate to come along than, BUDDY ROEMER, since I don't know when. If you do the research, his FOUNDATION, EXPERIENCE, and SKILL-SET is far superior to anybody anywhere.

      Ron Paul is just a conservative version of Ralph Nader, i.e. he sees the problems, he does a whole lotta complaining, HE HAS NO VIABLE SOLUTIONS OR ALTERNATIVES. Like Ralph Nader, he is a Critic, first and foremost, NOT a Problem-Solver.

      I bid you, this BUDDY ROEMER, IS A PROBLEM-SOLVER. And with the passing of each and every day, the problems just keep getting bigger and bigger...

    13. doodah  03/31/2011 08:05 AM Report

      Buddy Roemer is the ONLY prospective candidate that is demonstrating that he has the real intelligence and BALLS to address and PRIORITIZE (what's that word, people? PRIORITIZE?. THAT'S "PRIORITIZE!" people) the REAL issues and problems of the day. Who the Hell wouldn't want a SANE Ross Perot for President?! Maybe a George Bush Sr.?. But that's yesterdays' woes. This Ross Perot is SANE and WILL DELIVER. He's gonna stick it to the Lobbyists and the American Dream STEALING SocialistElite Republican/Democrat/GoldmanSachsocratican HardWorkingTrueCapitalistBallCrushing WallStreetCriminalCronyCrowd. I say go get em and pull em out by their feet!

      Why is the United States taking action against Libya, when Obama just recently allowed Israel to continue its ILLEGAL Occupation of Gentile Lands? Not to mention Israeli War Crimes against the Gentiles.

      Why does the United States support these people which are really terrorists that rose up against the British Mandate of Palestine, Call themselves Israel, and Claim to be Jewish?

      Why does the United States label the Palestine Gentiles trying to get their land back Terrorists and calls the Israeli Occupiers of Gentile Lands their Friend.

      This shows an utter disrespect for the over 35,000,000 Gentiles that died bringing World War II to and end.

      McCain's such a little boy. Wonder what he'll be when he grows up? He wants us all to believe in his view of US exceptionalism; where we can do no wrong. Helps justify/rationalize his being shot down while bombing a civilian power plant in Vietnam.

      The Arab League may be complicit for now, but given our penchant for screwing up our military misadventures into protracted long and costly tragedies, they'll may rue the day.

      Agree with REM (below) our financial policies probably caused the Arab Spring as much or more than Arab autocracies. Employment under an autocracy is better than unemployment under a plutocratic democracy (for sale to the highest bidding lobbyer).

      Our hypocrisy left the S. Sudanese, Ivory Coast, Rwanda, and many others to face their (oil-less) genocides on their own.

      Our selective exceptionalism is puerile and a putrefaction.

      Interesting comments and perspective, delivered intelligently. Grenada and Panama though were child's play compared to the Middle East.

    17. doodah  03/30/2011 03:01 PM Report

      The ONLY Republican candidate with the right dynamics to defeat President Odrama (Oh, isn't it?) is, 'Buddy Roemer'; He's the the ONLY Conservative politician (with the right credentials) that hasn't been MADE A HYPOCRITE by the economic FINANCIAL FALLOUT (their Real colors exposed)(they shone Brightly, but it was just a brief fraction of a second, but that half a second was all it took for me; and I have a memory like an elephant).

      Buddy Roemer is the Best candidate to RESET the economy on a solid foundation. For a wide range of reasons that I don't have time to go into now (I haven't watched the interview/show yet). But I advise, research Buddy Roemer (if Odrama seriously bothers you).

    18. REMant  03/30/2011 11:09 AM Report

      I don't know why we shouldn't turn a blind eye to atrocities in the Middle East, we ignore them just down the street from the White House, in the Capitol, and the most egregiously in the Fed. The president insinuated all sorts of unproven things, and besides being disingenuous, he continues to play both sides of the political street (see my comment on his speech under Monday's show). Like LBJ, I really doubt he cares as much for Libyans as he does his domestic agenda, and is so callous I would not be surprised to find that he offered this bombing campaign in return for reduced budget cuts. This I would think is the only reason why he voted against the Iraq war. But there is no more of an exit strategy from a Ponzi scheme than from places like Vietnam.

      Two-thirds of Americans disagree with both he and Sen McCain and frankly I'd like to see them protesting in the streets of Washington for as long as it takes to see those two leave. I'm very happy I voted for neither, nor for Bush or Gore or Clinton. We are not preventing a massacre, we are interfering in a civil war. It may be an uneven fight, but neither side has any lock on legitimacy, and the only way to stop them fighting is to engage in the same sort of policing we were forced to do in Iraq when we foolishly became involved there. Our intervention cost numerous Americans physically and all in their pocketbooks, not to mention the Iraqi ppl many of whom believe they are worse off today than in 2002. Tom Ricks says he has been receiving many complaints about this move from our own serviceppl.

      The senator is, of course, a graduate of the Naval Academy, and scion of a line of admirals, who, I don't doubt has a great nose for injustice, but whose only concern with his own service is that our failure to just bomb North Vietnam back to the Stone Age resulted in his capture and imprisonment, so it appears he is quite picky in his humanitarianism. He is certainly making a mistake if he believes, as The Weekly Standard believes, the president has all of a sudden become a Barry Goldwater. As I wrote yesterday, he's aligning himself with ppl who have far greater respect for Che Guevara.

      What is galling about all of this is that after causing these conflicts through our improvident and selfish financial policies, which have impoverished and unemployed thousands turning them on their governments, we take this in our conceited, self-deceptive fashion, as evidence of their desire for freedom. This it may be, but it is also the story of the French Revolution redux. And it would not be half so bad if it were not also a persistent theme in American monetary history from the era of the gold bugs til today. The poorer we make ourselves by printing and spending, the more we accuse ppl like the senator's friends.
