I’m not saying that the Big Obowski will get it right...just that this gives him an opportunity to flex some muscles.

The debate tonight is going to be incredible. What concerns me is the prep Ryan is doing and if Romney/Ryan are even getting accurate intel from the Administration.

Debate will be judged based on public information. No one will know if Ryan is unaware of secret information that we don't know either. I would hope that few people in the spook community, who do have access to withheld information, would support Obama in any case.

when is America and the rest of civilization going to realize that this crap will continue until islam is wiped from the face of the planet?


My personal belief is that when the Lord returns there will be no Muslims, as Mecca will have been turned into green glass, the Mahdi's well will have been destroyed, and the Dome of the Rock will be gone, the Jews having rebuilt the Temple in its place. This I expect will occur after they push somebody one step too far (my money is on the ChiComs)

That is just it..."public information," it's what they tried feeding us for 2 weeks post Libya...lies.

I would hope that few people in the spook community, who do have access to withheld information, would support Obama in any case.

Shades of Bourne.

Who has the balls to haul (insert name) out of his and her office or house and dump them without water and a paddle somewhere off the SE of Dodge?

How does this not rise to clear and present danger to the sovereignty of the US?

You might want to check that last sentence edit. You stated that you wanted the spooks to NOT support R/R (”few people in the spook community... would support Romney/Ryan”). I certainly hope that isn’t what you meant.

Oh, no! Another spontaneous reaction to the youtube video! It has to be, because His Excellency said he single handedly defeated al-Qaeda.

Romney & the Repubs need to realize that from the very start, they need to willing to AGGRESSIVELY do battle against the MSM & the demoRATs, so as to not fall into the GWB mode of letting the MSM & demoRATs have free reign in bashing him non-stop for 8 years + the last 4 years of 0dumb0 continuing to bash GWB. Romney & Repubs need to realize that we are in vicious war against a committed enemy of America — the MSM & the RAT bastard socialist demoRATs. Romney & Repubs need to engage & fire back at this enemy right from the very start.

Grammatically, we can remove the aside in the middle, which yields:

I would hope that few people in the spook community would support Romney/Ryan.

That sentence states that you hope that our intel community does NOT support R/R. I'm not sure how else to read the sentence, FRiend.

(I'm not picking on it - just trying to understand what you wrote, and what you meant.)

If you can’t understand that I hope the people handing off information to Romney/Ryan are giving them all the information they are entitled too....I can’t help you.
