[MonkeyFunk]

on MSNBC now.

Nice catch!

[jsamuel]

1. what state?

[AX10]

2. Missouri for Clinton!

Also, don't tell us about how Skelton is somekind of neo-con pro-government hawk. That title belongs to the one and only (fortunately) Lee Hamilton-Indiana who endorsed Obama.

This is indeed a great catch for Hillary!

23. Yeah, sending troops off to fight in the wrong war and voting against a ban on cluster bombs is

really being strong on national defense.

[oasis]

24. Hillary has the support of dozens of generals and admirals. They know.(eom)

[Tesha]

28. What do they know? That she's the best candidate for their budgets and bloat? (NT)

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

22. Ya see, the thing is.... I'm not afraid.

National defense is another term for sop to the defense industry/MIC.
3/4 of a trillion dollars last year. That's a bad thing. (eom)

[oasis]

25. You presently enjoy the safety of a strong national defense. That's why you're not afraid.(eom)
