Once again..none dare call this what it really is...TREASON for the purpose of getting campaign funds. Klinton pioneered it. Obama will perfect it.

“Instead of leaving bureaucrats in place the way The Bushes did, every bureaucrat needs to give a letter of resignation and be rehired on their merit. That process alone would get the economy back on track and do slabs to restore freedom. “

You are SO RIGHT! W did this country a GREAT DIS-SERVICE by leaving all the Clinton cronies in place. AND IMHO the group of traitors (and I don’t use that term lightly) that THIS O administration has in place is 100 x worse.

Clean House - from top to bottom. Get out the Lysol and the Bleach. But when we’re dealing with Boehner, McCain, Hatch, Trent Lott (lobbiest now) and all the DC scum on our side - we need to clean house even more than normal. At least we dumped Lugar. It’s a start. Good Point - CLEAN HOUSE.

Can’t we all agree that Mitt Romney would not only do the same, but be even worse?!

Please, people, Romney is our greatest foe!

“I wonder if it will come to a vote???”

No. It will not come up for a vote.

The export process requires an unofficial congressional 20-day notice (already passed), then an official 30-day notification period.

This 30-day window is to allow time for congress to officially review the export license request. Congress must VETO the request if it is to be stopped. The notification process is NOT an opportunity to vote FOR the requested export, just an opportunity for congress to veto it.

Doing nothing after 30-days results in automatic approval of the export.

You see, if congress does not vote down the export license request then by default it is approved.

Congress can now say, “I never voted for that” and be correct.

Please see Post 24.

A vote approving the transfer is not required.

Gotcha.

Vote for Obama because Romney is a greater foe than Obama.

Gotcha.

No doubt by way of a proxy as with Clinton.

Its ashame our defense secretes are so regular sold out by democrats. Our only advantage over china is our technology. We lose that and China will be the superpower and we will just be a client state.

I don’t trust Romney, Ed Rollins, Karl Rove, boo hoo Boehner, no chin McConnel nor any of the rest of them. We canot allow those clowns to remain in power in congress.

I agree with you about Romney leaving some in place, but the alternative is uglier.
