How about the cost of the CIA? – special forces operations, etc. And although nuclear weapons are a separate line item on the NRC, much of the larger NRC actually exists to support them. Unestimating!!! (Plus, leaving out the interest costs associated with prior expenditures is leaving out a big $$$$$). There is no overestimating [...]

OKAY, Alternate ID and Alan Maki, you are both absolutely right about Obama. He reneged on all his campaign promises, positions, and in some cases has even worked hard to do the opposite of what he promised. Only difference – I intend to give Romney that chance. I believe Obama is no LOTE and may [...]

Obama has done so many bad things – the ACA comes to mind. His deceit there, followed by that horrible act that will screw up medical care in America for decades, his lies with respect to transparency, his “looking forward” – which does not include whistleblowers, his appointments, expansion of the killing of brown and [...]

If Obama gets re-elected, he will move further to the right. YES, YES, YES!!! This is totally obvious. The moves he has been making to come up with “Grand Bargains”, weaken the position of federal employees, take over the Internet, inject more arbitrariness into the behavior of federal and other government police functions, …, attack [...]

Oh yeah, forgot those promises to not push federal prosecution for medical mariuana.

Is it just possible that Obama is totally out of his depth as a prez? He is either really Dr. Evil or Mr. Mushy Nuts, and I suspect the latter.

I have thought long and hard about exactly this distinction between the two candidates. Romney’s personality limitations seem very visible. Our president’s – detectable by his actions over a period of time. However, our prez now has a record and that record is speaking loudly to me. … Vote Republican .. vote Republican. There has [...]

Yes, our current POTUS has been bragging about how he has opened up vast areas of the offshore and onshore US to energy (and other) development. This POTUS would have been a Republican had he come from somewhere other than Chicago, where you have to be a Democrat to develop any traction … particularly if [...]

Make that “Is it cold today in Anchorage ..”

problem with typos is that my eyes always see what I wanted to write.

Excellent article. What’s up with NPR anyway? Have they turned into a stealth conservative organ? A few weeks ago, NPR was pushing war with Iran, presenting a bunch of “experts” opinions as to how Iran was doing this or that, much of them false, while presenting … nothing … nothing about our aggressive talks and [...]

Nice analysis of what Republicans will do. Except, what about those Dems? As you pointed out, Obama is a DINO who only cares about his job. He not only does not pursue Dem objectives, he actively works against them .. remember single payer? If Obama wins in 2012, the Dems would (following your logic) run [...]

So we have direct military spending, various veteran’s benefits, state dept. spending, special forces spending, spending for the CIA which increasing funds “contractors” that perform missions like – killing people, and directing drones, and buying drones with associated forces, plus all the spending that goes to nuclear energy (its huge) almost all of which is [...]

Iran is no threat to us, or Israel, or any other state, and is much less of a human rights violator than many countries we support and promote and sell arms to (like Israel, or Saudi Arabia, or some of the brutal African countries). Therefore, an attack on Iran, leading to massive loss of life, [...]

Har. Har. “Peace dividend” is going right in the dumpster on the day Israel attacks Iran using our weapons!!

“peace dividend” .. har har cough cough …

Exactly. Absolutely. Right. No more “Lesser of two evils” for me. Obama is so far from what he promised us the first time using the words “lesser of” is just kidding yourself. I am going to vote for someone who won’t make me cry if he / she gets in. And even though our electoral [...]
