BearSox Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 11:17 AM) It's amazing how far some people go to try and prove their ridiculous claim that all politicians are the same. Is Kevin Johnson really Obama's buddy anyways? Yeah, they like to ball it up together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 That'd be no fair. No way any middle aged or old white guy can beat a middle aged black guy in basketball. The only person on the GOP that would have a chance is Alan Keyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Nice, North Korea launches 7 more missiles on our Independence Day. But you know, we just need to talk to them.

We'll need to add a couple more divisions though because everything we have right now is in Afghanistan or Iraq. You signing up? Also, who's gonna pay for it?

But you guys, you people in those seats who are supposed to be reporting the facts, aren't reporting facts. Have you ever seen a hybrid tank? I don't think so. Next question."

A war with North Korea would need full Chinese and Russian support or else it would be a catastrophic error in judgement. However, I was just playfully pointing out that money would probably be no problem for the current administration to come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I know where your opinion is (wasn't referring to you as a war drumbeater either), I just used that opportunity to rant that point again and shout into space, no other reason really.

If it wasn't for the damage that the world economies would take due to the loss of Seoul and the sucking up of oil by the military, I could be game for a war-as-stimulus right now.

Then we don't get more spending, which I think is good anyway. I don't think spending more is a good idea. I think I'd rather we found ways to speed the money from the stim bill to the present. And I wish the bill was a lot more focused than it was, specifically on infrastructure and energy, but we can't do anything about that now.
