M.O.B. Votes:

and unaccouunted trillions abound but I don't believe its 8% -currently. But good point- know one really knows what Romney REALLY has planned- other than to increase military spending-and attack Iran.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

RE: Can you link to either "fact"? - JG MU - 5/31 15:18:04

The Defense budget is approx 1.4T - Spanky KU - 5/31 15:57:44

Currently 3.5% - JG MU - 5/31 15:54:53

The Defense budget is 1.4T The GDP is 14.59T - Spanky KU - 5/31 15:58:51

"base" not the smoke and mirrors - JG MU - 5/31 16:03:27

Try to keep your numbers realistic and verifiable - Spanky KU - 5/31 16:08:32

So its your belief that Romney wants to cut the - JG MU - 5/31 16:11:35

Nope. I merely chalenged your assertion that he was going - Spanky KU - 5/31 16:14:56

third time for this graph - JG MU - 5/31 16:22:32

It depends on how you define "greatly" since you have - Spanky KU - 5/31 17:43:05

People can have an ideology but not be an - Spanky KU - 5/31 13:57:29

so I click the defintion of ideology that comes from - JG MU - 5/31 14:21:16

Not at all. As I clearly stated, an idealogue is subset - Spanky KU - 5/31 15:17:38

I guess what confuses you - JG MU - 5/31 15:19:55

You can't understand what an ideologue is UNLESS - JG MU - 5/31 15:43:01

you can't understand what a Pope is without - Spanky KU - 5/31 15:48:13

My point is that you are uslessly looking stupid - JG MU - 5/31 15:52:00

An ideologue is not someone who has a passing belief in an - Spanky KU - 5/31 16:02:21

LOL of course - JG MU - 5/31 16:08:20

in order to be an ideologue you have to be an ardent - Spanky KU - 5/31 16:11:33

seems reasonable - JG MU - 5/31 16:13:40

What ideology does Romney hold to firmly and ardently? - Spanky KU - 5/31 16:16:50

For perhaps the least the third time today - JG MU - 5/31 16:26:15

What politician is not, by their nature seeking power - Spanky KU - 5/31 17:45:21

Its all they have - JG MU - 5/31 18:49:53

Power is not an ideology. - Spanky KU - 5/31 18:58:48

Tell that to the GOP - JG MU - 5/31 19:01:34
