Marksman that would be Clinton since the Cold War was over and the Russian Government was collapsing and watching it's satellite states defect in mass. The Military takes up almost half of the US budget and is massively overbloated. What gets me is that your attitude sounds like "entitlement" similar to Socialism. Oh wait the Military is Socialist! Never mind because it is over your head.
And once the U.S.S.R. was broken up, the entire world became our drinking buddies...
I'm not seeking entitlement - I just get a little perturbed when people insinuate that armed forces personnel are receiving excessive benefits. This has not been the case for 16 years. Go visit a VA hospital and chat with some patients.
The only thing over my head were enemy rounds in Kuwait. Of course, you understand, it's probably like that in Hialeah every night...
I work in financial analysis - I would love to see a link or posting of authoritative, substantiated proof that the U.S. Military takes up almost half of the US Budget and is massively overbloated.
is it just me or is the entire GOP a complete joke right now...they are sporting like a 11% approval in Congress...no leader...Palin is freak show...the birthers...party of no, offer no solutions, b9tch and cry about everything.... great time to be a supporter of the GOP

That is all very true! That means the Democrats will have to try really extra hard to lose the next 2 elections!

36% by some, up to 45% by others and down to 20% (which doesn't include the cost of a war or two in it).

We have planes that can't fly, and ships that don't float.

Offer no solutions?
B9tch and cry about everything?
I think that consideing their small numbers, they are doing an excellent job of stopping almost all progressive legislation from getting passed. If the Democrats had this much balls when the Republicans controled the government, we wouldn't have half of the problems that we have today. Although I hate the Republican party with a passion, I kind of respect them in a really crazy way because they're unified and they stand up for their principals; I wish I could say the same for the Democrats.

The Republicans have offered solutions, I posted the links to their healthcare, energy and stimulus solutions in another thread. You may not agree with them but they have put forth their own solutions. I disagree that Palin is a freak show. Her image is a total creation of the liberal media who is afraid of anyone who doesn't look and act like them. She's swatted away every bogus ethics violation claim made against her and aimed to break her financially. As far as I know, the people who think two 1961 birth announcements posted in Hawaiian newspapers is some grand master scheme for a future president some 46 years later are not GOP politicians. Am I wrong on that? If so, tell me. I'd want to know the dippy politicians who say that. Because, I can point to idiots on the left who still think Sarah Palin's baby is really her daughter's but I never heard any Democrat politician say that.
But if you want to talk about jokes let's talk about these Democrats. I'll stop at ten:
1. You have Tomothy Geithner, tax cheat and overseer for the IRS, heading up the Treasury Department.
2. You have Charlie Rangel, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee that writes tax law, not paying tax on his properties.
3. You have Barney Frank who claims he didn't know a prostitution ring was happening inside his home, fixed 33 parking violations for the same guy and then dated an executive of Fannie Mae who was the Director of Housing Initiatives. Fannie Mae has contributed $40,000 to Frank's campaigns. Frank, big proponent for Fannie Mae (and Freddie Mac) is the Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee.
4. You have Van Jones, a Communist appointed by Obama (who would never make it through a Congress scrutiny process if Obama hadn't given him a bypass-Congress job) as the Green Jobs Czar. (No pretension about "redistribution of wealth" here, I guess.)
5. You have Chris Dodd and Kent Conrad accused of getting preferential mortgage rates from Countrywide Financial Corp. Dodd is the Chairman of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee.
6. You have John Conyers, who is obsessed with getting Karl Rove on something, married to Mrs Detroit Corruption Scandal Conyers, which he obviously...missed. This would be the same John Conyers who was told by "the powers that be" to back off an ACORN investigation. Conyers is the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
7. Also sleeping in the same bed is Senator Diane Feinstein and her hubby. She resigned from the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee during which time she had a conflict of interest due to her husband Richard C. Blum's ownership of two major defense contractors, awarded billions of dollars for military construction projects approved by Feinstein.
8. You have Representative John Murtha, who never met a scandal he didn't like, involved in a campaign contributions scandal. Murtha got $143,600 in contributions from the PMA Group (raided by the FBI investigating suspicious campaign contributions) as he earmarked $38.1 million for PMA and its clients. Then there's the defense appropriations scandal. The Washington Post reported just two weeks ago that prosecutors are looking into an $8 million Air Force project in Florida earmarked by Murtha. The project was supposed to research battlefield technologies and the money earmarked by Murtha was supposed to be used to hire defense contractors except it turns out the federal investigators found out the recipients of the taxpayer largesse were companies tied to Murtha. Defense contractors were paid for work they didn’t do or wasn’t supposed to be done. Then we have John Murtha, unindicted co-conspirator in the ABSCAM sting. We all saw that videotape.
9. Then you have the Democrat party who throws out the word "racist" every chance they get with a unanimously elected Exalted Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan as one of its own Senators in Robert Byrd. Guess that's what you mean by diversity. Do you send him out to make speeches in front of the NAACP?
10. And last but not least, we have the esteemed Senator Ted Kennedy who actually killed somebody.

But this thread isn't about the Dems, it's about the GOP. Their are alot of losers in the Democratic party, but when compared to the Republicans they are the lesser of 2 evils. Oh by the way, while you made some very legitimate points, if you were referring to the alleged voter registration fraud lay off of Conyers and ACORN. Conyers is one of few Dems that has the spine and the balls to fight when the rest of the Dems show how spineless they are and that so called ACORN voter fraud is a crock of ****.
