Hell NO!!!

Ask ANY Traditional Republican and they'll tell you that Hagel is NOTHING but a second string DEMOCRAT..A John Kerry with an (R) behind his name..LOOK at his showing in his Presidential Bid if you want to see how popular he is....HE did EVEN worse then BIDEN..He's NEVER been anything BUT a Second String Democrat and the SOONER the Party rids itself of these RINO Vermin the Better off the Republican Party will be..

It wouldn’t be the first time Hagel has slipped-up and revealed that he’s a Democrat in Repub clothing. What’s insulting is that he and the Dems are trying to distort the meaning of her statement this way, as if they missed her speech and then watched SNL . . . and thought the skit was real. I can believe that some people who have commented on this actually ARE that stupid. As for the rest who are just trying to trivialize the meaning behind what she said, they are also stupid to think that the public would believe them. It’s so petty and just looks desperate.

She said that after pointing out that Alaska is neighbors with Russia to emphasize the point and that it’s no exaggeration (it’s what, less than 100 miles away). Obviously the point is that as Governor and head of the Alaska Nat. Guard, she would have to be VERY well informed and familiar with the goings-on of Russia and relations with them. If you think about it for a second, the Alaska Nat. Guard of course has ALL SORTS of Unique and very serious tasks and responsibilities as a result. With short range Russian Nukes and Air/Naval Bases just across the Bering Strait, Russian Subs in the waters, CHINA also not so far away, I’m sure they have to constantly monitor all sorts of radars, sonars, conduct signal intelligence collecting/analysis activities, etc. and SHE, as governor would have to be fully informed and familiar with it all, as well as with our detailed relations.

That’s a whole lot different from heading the Kentucky National Guard for example – or ANY other, not to mention a heck of a lot more i

Not in the least!! Look at who is saying what and then judge for yourself. This person is a true to life idiot. The only reason he is saying something such as this is because he is jealous that he wasn't picked.

It's called desperation, And if we are voting on experience then McCain will win hands down.

I can see a nuclear plant from my house! I'm a nukular fizzisist!

Well said, joe.

right? Sure, because that’s what a governor’s for: It’s the governor’s role to be responsible for statewide issues affected by external as well as internal activities; not that of the Federal Govt. The National Guard does not operate independently of the State governments without a call to Federalization of the Guard by the President, which in most cases requires the consent of the governor. You lied SensiJoe. From a quick search, here’s an article from George Mason University Law School that references this issue, clearly indicating that the National Guard is under the GOVERNOR’S CONTROL but can also be Federalized when needed (From: The Role of the National Guard in Disaster Response and Critical Infrastructure Protection)

“These troops would shift from Title 32 status (under state governors’ control) to Chapter 10 status (federalized).
There are many pieces of existing legislation that define when the President may federalize the National Guard, but in most circumstances the President does so only with the request or consent of the governors. However, under certain provisions, like the Insurrection Act, the President may call troops into active duty without such consent.”

Huh, . . . what do ya know, the National Guard IS under the control of the State Governors, as I said. Isn’t that something. Your argument is a lie Joe. And with such conviction! But

Mister Michael Dunston,

I am a troll from the Tampa Bay market, and not familiar with you. I'm kinda sorry about that. But, there is a small thing I wish to say.

I love what you say in your profile, there. It is more than "nice" that you look into these threads to get a sense of the "pulse" of the community.

You have made the statement, ". . . knowledge REALLY IS power." I would like to say, knowledge is nothing without wisdom to use it. Mind, that is not pointed at you, and is not even intended as a barb toward anyone.

I have knowledge that the First Article of the Constitution twice forbids Ex Post Facto Law and rulings. Yet, we see instances of Ex Post Facto Law having been passed and enforced, to the delight of the population in general.

I have knowledge that the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution prohibits "Double Jeopardy." Yet, we see people sued in Civil Court after being acquitted in Criminal Court. That is not good (and I belive OJ is Guilty).

Knowledge is not power unless it is used legitimately and correctly, and to just effect. If one segment of society has power to prevent another segment of society from using their knowledge, where are we as a Nation?

You are very welcome to check some of my posts, even into my archives, if you will. "White Boy For Dr King" is one of my favorites, Jan 15, 07.

If she does, she's liable to drop all the campaign noise and go out hunting!!

My Mom, years ago, was cooking supper and lookied out the kitchen window to see a 'possum cutting through the back yeard.  She forgot about supper, grabbed the rifle and went after the 'possum.  Well, the 'possum got away, and when she got back to the house, the pan of oil she had left on the stove had caught fire.  She put out the fire, but a couple of cabinets had to be replaced.  Funny thing - Dad didn't yell at her about it.

nyerk-nyerk-nyerk - I want a girl, just like the girl, that married dear old Dad.
