Military Endorsements Aren’t Decisive. That Said: WOW!

by Smitty In deference to #OccupyResoluteDesk, he has half a dozen military endorsements: Name Note Wesley Clark, four star General (Ret), former Supreme Allied Commander Europe of NATO, 2004 presidential candidate Tool. Richard Danzig, former Secretary of the Navy Not a proper veteran, but we can’t get to ‘half a dozen’ without some sort of […]

Romney Debates Crowley And Obama On Benghazi, Wins

by Smitty Benghazi was the pivotal moment in the town hall debate, in my opinion, and that of some others: “act of terror” is to Obama what “is” was to Clinton — Legal Insurrection (@LegInsurrection) October 17, 2012   Via BlueGrass pundit: What a sad, pathetic joke that Obama has to have a woman attempt […]
