Will it be ok for the far left to be proud to be Americans again? I swear, it seems like the only time they are happy is when their candidates win. They remind me of little kids who can only be happy when they get their own...

4magoo My family and I lived in Bahrain for 4 years. We were there from 1984-1988. It was during the Tanker Wars and Iran and Iraq were fighting. I was in fact there when the USS Stark got hit and we helped get stuff together for the men on the ship as they lost...

4magoo My love of country isn't tied to who is in the White House. I firmly believe that we needed to go to Afghanistan but while Iraq wasn't responsible we attached them anyways. We attacked Irag and they had not attacked us. We trumpted up the issue of WMD and it...

4magoo I am a democrat. I am a disabled Vietnam Vet. I am currently employed by the Department of Defense and work for them in England. I didn't whine when we illegally attacked Iraq nor when we chose not to pay for these wars with taxes but instead went into debt to...

4magoo I can tell you feel strongly about this. I will end with one quote from Edmund Burke. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

I am a Vietnam vet and was the Commander of the 39th Scout Dogs of the 173rd Airborne. Someone sent me this link. It was shocked by what I read. For example trading military information for medical help. The Hanoi press quoted...

4magoo I was the Vietnam vet so I am old enough to be your father. :-) My dad was a Korean War vet and a strong supporter of McCain / Palin. He hasn't replied to my email on Powell which means that he doesn't want to talk about.

4magoo To me it is showing a need to "stretch" for something to focus on. If you can't get people to vote for you becuase you have the best plan, get people to vote out of "fear" of the other side.

4magoo You are right ... I was out of line. I decided to go back to the source and check it out. I relistened to Powell's statements. He used the word "race" one time. He said that he had observed Obama reaching across ethnic, race and generational lines. I seem...

It's still anybody's game at this point even though Barrack Obama is leading by 10 points, those who are likely to vote for him are not registered at all. When the election date comes it all matters on who has the most registered...

4magoo I haven't seen people this enthusiastic about a candidate in c-o-o-n's age! Exuse me I have to keep up with the times " I mean in a moose's age." I know I would vote if I could but I can't. I have already voted. :-) I live in England and we are...

4magoo What I am afraid of is all the Republicans going out there an voting multiple times as they try to pull up from behind. When you are in the lead, you don't have to cheat.

4magoo Very true. It will be the votes that are cast and counted that will tell the story. Polls don't elect candidate. They are only a barometer as to which ways the wind is blowing.

We all know lobbyist and special interest groups give "gifts" to our elected officials. But should this be legal? Now the law just states that all "gifts" have to disclosed so everyone knows about them. They are also not suppost...

4magoo As far as I am concerned we would be a lot better off without them. I also don't understand how these people can get away with all the gifts they take. I remember one recent one where Palin accepted a $1200 gold nugget from the mining industry before helping...

4magoo Mole Hill that was really terrible. I never was in favor of the war in Iraq although my son joined the Navy after 9/11 and did serve in Iraqi waters and I had served in Vietnam. I feel that the use of effigies is too negatively charged to ever be used no...

4magoo Thanks Annie... I can't wait until we get to the point that no one even brings the issue up. We have come a long way, but we have a long way to go.

4magoo So you are saying that Powell's endorsement was a race based. I am not being disrespectful here, but do you consider yourself racist? I see a man that has carefully thought through his reasons for endorsement and he articulated them well. Why should we doubt...
