Rex Kickass Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 03:30 PM) As I understand it, Congress was doing that more or less without Carter's support. Maybe I am misremembering. Carter asked for the largest increases in defense spending in 79 and 80 as there'd been in a generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostfan Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 03:16 PM) Believe it or not, that's somewhat of a legacy of the Carter administration. It was Carter that presided over requests to restart the arms race with the USSR after their invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 and 1980. It was also the Cater administration's idea to provide aid to the mujahedeen in Afghanistan when the Soviets started intervening. Reagan's people took that idea and ran with it.

Balta1701 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Link The governor of Massachusetts today named Paul Kirk Jr., a former Democratic National Committee chairman and close friend and former aide of the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, to serve as a temporary replacement for the deceased senator until a special election for the seat is held in January.There's still a possible avenue for the Mass. Republicans to mount a legal challenge if they're so inclined. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
