mnealtx 0 #26 August 16, 2011 QuoteQuoteThe US gets a much better lease rate, the host country gets improved land after they leave and the local economy gets a boost from hiring and purchases...win/win/win. And the US taxpayer/US economy gets a stiff one up the ass. How does America win out of all this? Would you care to explain? It's the difference between, say, 1 million dollars a year for lease and 1000 a year for lease - can you handle the math on that, or should I do that for you, too?

champu 1 #28 August 16, 2011 QuoteThat's a fair summation, but a lot depends on the site and how the agreements were set up for them. Oh absolutely. That's, in general, why I spoke up regarding the number 900, because it's a political number. It's the type of number a politician throws around when saying "I want to close 300 of our 900 overseas military bases, with more to come!" to a bunch of cheers in the audience. Then you find out that it results in no personnel coming home, little or no annual upkeep being saved, and forfeiture of $10Bs of dollars of infrastructure to the host countries.

Placing second should put this guy in the serious discussion, certainly more than a guy like Santorum warrants. Why should you care? Despite Obama's weak term, he's still going to destroy losers like Bachman. The GOP needs more quality choices for its voters, not less, at least when we're still in the odd year of the cycle.

Unless of course the GOP want to play the same game the Democrats have played in the past and select Bachman instead. Ron Paul is not perfect, but he makes far too much sense for the GOP to ever select him. It's not just Fox News who have snubbed Ron Paul. It's pretty much every media outlet out there.

freethefly 6 #45 August 17, 2011 QuoteI have a feeling that Rick Perry has already been chosen.

QuoteRon Paul is not perfect, but he makes far too much sense for the GOP to ever select him. He should run as an independent. He would, possibly, appeal to a broader spectrum. The "R" by his name hurts him. QuoteIt's not just Fox News who have snubbed Ron Paul. It's pretty much every media outlet out there. I've yet to see anything but snippets on Dr. Paul. Shame as he has so much that needs to be heard. I like that he does not resort to name calling as the others have done and will continue to do so.

Well, I think we should all be able to acknowledge that Fox is the GOP cheerleader, and they're still ignoring the guy who finished just out of first. As for the thought they're promoting Bachmann to damage the party, please. As Canuck points out (as well as Stewart in today's show), the media already moved onto non stop promotion of the new guy from Texas. Part of the point of insignificant states (no offense, really) like Iowa being the starting point is that the candidates have the ability to meet a significant portion of the voters in person, rather than run a media campaign like we would get in California. It's much harder for the media to bias the voters there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Romney and Palin aren't even involved yet, but will be soon enough. And the others will start biting at him as well. Just look at what's been done here.
