DISQUS

I still remember the second world war and all of our armed force equipment was made by American in our own county. It should be that way now. Further no Military work that was done by military personel will be done by any outside contractors.
Lobbyist, the war contractor have them, and want to continue wars that is how they are making their monies. War for profit. Think about it a bit.
When I was in the Korean conflict , all work was done by military people. Not just the front line people.

When is a Lobbyist NOT a Lobbyist - when he's an "unpaid advisor to John McCain".

What's the difference between a Lobbyist and John McCain - Lipstick.

Yet no MSM has picked this up. I live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, and this debacle was only given a glancing blow by both The Dallas Morning News and the Ft. Worth Star Telegram. The simple fact that hundreds were looking at lay-offs at Boeing here in Ft. Worth because of tanker program didn't even warrant so much of an deeper look at this situation. And yet, the red state of Texas continues to vote against its own interests.

How much does the State of Alaska tax the oil extracted there and how much does that add to the energy costs of the lower 48?

It seems crazy that our Armed Forces should have Airplanes made in Europe when we have the largest airplane company in the World located here with all of the jobs for Americans. The savings in our balance of payments should be taken into account. McCains motives are suspect, how can he be for America first when he is willing to send so many jobs overseas!!

I think it is crazy that the largest airplane company in the world can't produce one prototype to show the US Air Force! Oh and by the way...those EADS planes would be built in Alabama. The Southern states actually want to create a new aerospace corridor down there and provide more good paying jobs to Americans. I don't see anyone complaining that Honda or Toyota builds their cars in the United States...what's the difference?

You know what else I think is crazy...that the warfighter doesn't have someone speaking up for them! No one cares if they are flying on 50 year old planes. I think it is disgusting that politics is preventing our men and women in uniform from getting much needed new equipment. I don't care what company gets the contract...just get it done...NOW!

Blist full ignorance!! As long as it doesn't affect you, "who cares!!!" I am tired of that worthless stupid ignorant garbage. If you are an american you should give a damn!! So worthless that it takes people to get slapped in the face by truth to get that you are being used. 70 dollar bail out for people making 7 million a year that you have to pay for and maybe just maybe you would think of the individuals those 40K plus individuals looking for new jobs. If you were in there place you would be out raged. Only a true fool would not care about the stabilty of the people around you. Maybe you are a lawyer, personally I see how this would be helpful for your business. Personally this just means that crime is going to be on the uprise and you can expect more bussiness. Maybe your a coffin maker because if you were you would be making a killing with all the violent crime and bodies comming back from the war. People like you are a diseas on the world and can only help destroy the safety and future of americans. you sir need help. I'll pray for you!!!
