Bush turned the US military into one huge penal colony basically. In order to feed the war machine and the Haliburton profits they scrapped the bottom of the barrel to fill the uniforms. A big chunk of recruits get passed on via wavers for drug offenses or other criminal activity. And then you give these guys training and a gun and let them fight in two immoral wars. No wonder things are screwed up. And will be for decades.
Solution, a draft so its not just the misfits who make up the military. Republicans will not let this happen cause if they do their easy path to failed wars will not be so easy any longer.

America will miss the reassuring presence of Perry in the debates. Three reasons why, first he is a dope, second he cannot speak english and third, ah, oops.
What a horrible reflection on Texas to have this idiot as their leader for the last decade. Bush was bad enough but Perry is even worse.
Next to go hopefully the hateful petty homophobic man who was the worst senator in the history of the state of pennsylvania. But he likes his sweater vests. Only a republican would brag about that.

LDP runs up the debt and then refuses to pay for it. Just like the republicans in the USA. Retread conservatives are the same world over.

The republicans will nominate a morman flip flopper that most of them cannot vote for at all. Sums up the state of the republican party, its falling apart under the strain of massive amounts of stupidity and hatred for the black President.

Huntsman knows evolution is real and that climate change is real. In other words he is thinking human. In other words he is not quailfied to run in the republican race as he is not living in the 1800s. And is he is not spineless liar like Romney. In other words no chance. He polled worse that colbert in SC the other day. A fake candidate beat him. Actually all the other fake candidates beat him, only Colbert is honestly fake.
Mittens will self-destruct before its all over. This is looking like Johnson-Goldwater or Nixon-McGovern. For you foxbots google the names Obama will have his second landslide victory. .

Pamelot,
Clinton came into the Presidency on a Reagan/Bush recession. And massive debt as well due to tax cuts for the rich. Facts. Look them up.
Amazing how living in the Fox news bubble distorts reality.

Of all the losers and liars in the republican race the Iowa republicans pick Santorum? He has the brains of Perry and the religious nuttiness of Palin.
In the end it does not matter as the Iowa beauty test has no meaning at all. Huckleberry hound won last time in Iowa and dropped out not to much later. McCain came in fourth and eventually won the nomination.

Second Obama landslide next year thanks to the republicans continually failing to do anything positive for the country. Bush in 8 years did nothing but screw up the country, useless wars, tax cuts for the rich, huge budget failures, the wall street lead republican blessed bush depression the world is in now. No one wants that again. Not a single positive achievement. Nothing. The party of No gets no results.

Ron Paul puts the coo coo in the coo coo clock. He thinks fireman are a waste of taxpayer money. He will never win the republican nomination as he is too weird even for the trump/palin/herminator/perry crowd.

The republicans cannot even compromise with each other, they only know how to destroy the USA and the world economy. First they create the bush depression and then they repeatedly try to bankrupt the USA. Amazing anyone with a brain would ever vote for a group of losers whose goal it is to see the USA be passed over by China economically. The last republican fake budget crisis cost the USA trillions, this will no doubt be the same. They all need to be voted out before they completely destroy the american way of life. But as long as Koch and his billionaire buddies who bankroll the tea party do OK the House republicans will be happy.

Wow, very rarely does this website get a guest post that is this accurate. The downfall of the USA does date back to Reagan and his assault on the middle class, his caving in to the religious right and his bankrupting the US government. It all started there.
And we are indeed in a bush depression just as back in the day the US endured a Hoover depression.
Bravo to JT and to the author for this fine work.

THe party of No says no to itself this time. The republicans in the senate vote for a measure and the republicans in the house vote it down. The republican party is doing more harm to the nation than OBL ever dreamed he could accomplish. The last budget standoff by the republicans cost the country trillions via the plunging stock market. Voting for republicans is a vote for China to take over the world economy.

Reported elsewhere, the posting was $61 million. Contract will be I think five years at $12 million plus per year minimum. So Rangers are out at least $120 million for Darvish for five years. Amazing.

Economics comes first. Japan needs oil but does not need to embrace all US policies. Koizumi sucked up to bush when he illegally invaded Iraq and for nothing for it, but now the DPJ is a little smarter.
So bush invaded iraq, which was no threat, and did not invade NK, which was and is a threat. Why, NK had nukes. Simple answer. Israel has nukes which the US helped to build. The US policy is all lies and PR. Its the pentagon again trying justify its trillion dollar budget of which half is pure graft.
