TomAiello 26 #27 September 11, 2004 Quote1.1 million more on government payroll since 1999. Tha's a long-term problem, since getting rid of them is almost impossible. What areas are they in? You don't happen to have a breakdown, do you? I'm thinking that soldiers called up are pretty easy to get rid of--you just let them go home. The addition of a bunch of Homeland Security folks? Well, I personally think it's pretty silly and could have been better (and more cheaply) handled by private contractors (maybe Halliburton would have bid?). But, I can't throw that all on Bush, because I think _any_ president would have had a similar response post 9/11. Anyway, I'm just wondering what percentage is in those two areas, and where else this is happening.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tunaplanet 0 #29 September 11, 2004 Si if Kerry wins it's because he's the right man for the job. If Bush wins it's because of ill-educated voters. Got it. Thanks. Forty-two Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jazzjumper 0 #32 September 12, 2004 QuoteI have a problem understanding why people would support spending billions of dollars to fight wars to save a few thousand people while they balk at spending the same amount of money for health care that could save tens of thousands a year. By that logic, using the military to protect people that aren't in the military is giving them something for nothing. Understand...the point is our way of life as Americans is at stake. If you are willing to put that money towards people who don't give enough of a damn to take care of themselves (not catastrophic illnesses like cancer) at the risk of losing our way of life as a country, then we indeed have insurmountable posistions. I believe between the two, Bush is much more qualified to get us through keeping the American way of life in tact. I don't care what it costs. That is what his constitutional duty is. Kerry's record doesn't give me any hope that he could lead us safely through this era. No matter how good she looks, someone, somewhere is sick of her shit!

jazzjumper 0 #33 September 12, 2004 QuoteWell, the primary "expert" apparently forgot to include the IBM Selectric in his analysis. He has now changed his mind. Still doesn't mean it isn't a forgery. His wife said he couldn't type. Records show the unit didn't have a secretary at the time. No matter how good she looks, someone, somewhere is sick of her shit!

jazzjumper 0 #34 September 13, 2004 QuotePlastic surgery was an option for full time military personal that could convince their commanding officers to allow them to have the procedure and to take time off for it. This benifit does not extend for example to BLM, NPS, DOT, or treasury employes. Its selective benifits. Offer it to one type of employee but not others Okay, that is a bit misleading. Those are only offered when it fits the training requirements of the surgeon involved and the member pays for all the materials used. Yes the CC does have to approve the time off for convalescent leave. No matter how good she looks, someone, somewhere is sick of her shit! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jazzjumper 0 #36 September 13, 2004 QuoteA victim of ill educated voters who so are stupid that they believe Bush's propaganda machine. Average IQ, USA = 98 The Bush propaganda machine??? Have you ever watched CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC? Now you have shown yourself to be truly who you are. And oh yeah, so Clinton was also elected because of ill-educated voters? You can't possibly wrack it up to the fact that some people will simply vote their party, and some people will go with their guts? You have to blame it on ill-education? Well maybe you have an IQ above the curve, but does that make you an idiot if you don't vote the way I want you to vote? No, it makes you an American who exercised his choice. I'm surprised that guy who seems (at times) as smart as you would pull that from your ass. It's funny how liberals claim to be the party of inclusiveness are the first to blame when something doesn't go their way. Your guy lost in 2000, your guy will lose in 2004. It has nothing to do America's IQ. No matter how good she looks, someone, somewhere is sick of her shit! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyKev 0 #37 September 13, 2004 QuoteSurely you don't mean that? After all the news stories about military coverage for boob jobs? Yeah, but the part of that story that was in the fine print was that the boob jobs were performed by medical students for practice. I went to the beauty school to get a cheap hair cut. Once. I hope those boobs don't end up as bad as my hair cut did Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
