Robert Blakeslee yeah, when elephants fly and hell has snowballs to throw. Did you see her try to debate in her last race? she was afraid to show up on live TV after her momumental fiasco. At least she's no Fife Symington. But then, she's not competent enough for that comparison

Chris Pentecost With or without the debate, she won the election by a good margin.

Robert Blakeslee The same voters that have kept Jerk Arpaio in office. Winning an election in Arizona isn't about being right its about how many people you can scare. Truth doesn't matter - like Phx being the kidnapping capital of America and the non-existent headless bodies "found" in the desert. What next, the Iranian published pamphlet "found" in the desert was left left by a terrorist? Someone trying to sneak in wouldn't leave evidence and a true believer would not let it out of his possession.- another plant to scare the sheep.

Chris Pentecost Bert, you sound like a disgruntled voter with the fancy name calling and stuff. The GOP will help you get over that.lo. Oh yea Bert did you see on the news that another drop house was busted this last week with 52 people being held inside against their will. That's a lot of unlawful detainment and kidnapping charges. What other state can even compare. You show me proof otherwise. Or do like Billy Mays says.

Robert Blakeslee I heard on the news this morning that a recall drive has been launched against Russell Pearce. I heard that the Mexican drug cartels are buying their weaponry in Arizona because we have the most lax gun laws in the nation. And that Arizona is trying to unilaterally rescind the Fourteenth Amendment Arizona GOP is trying to pass a state law to require the US President to unseal his birth records sealed by the secret service as a security issue. So one of you disbelievers that didn't pay attention when they were presented for all the world to see during the campaign can't access them and alter them to suit their own political agenda. The Republican has a history of trying just that ( see Richard Nixon in your history books in case you have forgotten). Only party worse is the Tea Party who worship criminals.

Robert Blakeslee NOT Sam Adams. Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington are heroes to me. What is it that makes Sam Adams or was it his illegal activities that the Tea Party venerates. What makes that Rum-runner any different than a smuggler bringing anything into The US (or into Mexico, for that matter) by a route and method to evade detection and taxation. Oh, also in the news - now that Arizona Voters have passed Mediical Marijuana for the third time the GOP legislature (disgruntled elected public servants?) now want to tax it at anywhere from 100 to 300% even though we do not tax prescription medication. Where is the inherent superiority of the Majority here? Fife Symington and Evan Meacham are proof that the Arizona voters can be fooled and/or scared once or twice but then the populace didn't elect either of them three times

Jack Lynn The tea party of today didn't destroy anyones property they just are using the term to object to what this government is doing now. So tell me who you think are good politicians... not from 200 plus years ago...the world is slightly different now then it was then.

Robert Blakeslee Modern Heroes, like Pat Tillman who gave up a lucrative NFL contract to serve his country and government and you an me , by the way. His forsaking the cushy life for what he felt was his duty to place himself between us and our sworn enemies was heroic, not the circumstances of his demise. Another would be Stormin' Norman Schwartzkopf who engineered the brilliant "end run" during the first Gulf War saving thousands if not hundreds of thousands an both sides. And lest you confuse my meaning, I am not a Hawk but a patriot and am proud to have served honorably and honor my brothers past, present and future who do the same. Jonas Salk, comes to mind who persisted and finally found a way to attenuate the Poliomyelitis virus and create a vaccine that has saves literally millions despite the conventional wisdom of the day that the virus was too small and intricate to be manipulated

Robert Blakeslee His competency may be in question, he's too young to hold the office in opinion but the framers set the age at 35 so its legal. I'm a McCainocrat. I have been a fan and supporter for decades. Anyone that gave 5&1/2 years in the Hanoi Hilton, refusing release before those that were imprisoned before him were sent home is OK in my book and he became a hero to me about a decade ago when he addressed the Senate defying his own Party as they tried to railroad a budget bill through with a strike all amendment the day before adjournment the bill was a stack of paper over a foot tall and the Elephant hierarchy expected everyone to just follow the party line unquestioningly. That was the first introduction of Ted Stevens' Bridge to Nowhere. But Odrama (sic)(he certainly excited the right) and then pissed off the left. Sure looks like a centrist to me. Its been a while since we've had one of those.
Robert Blakeslee Ike is the last one I can remember.I admire JFK greatly for putting us on the road to Space even if astronauts are still scared of going up on a missile built by the lowest bidder. And he was obviously a master at brinkmanship when you look at the facts behind the Cuban Missile Crisis. Remember, the Russians only put them in their Client State because we wouldn't remove our ICBMs that we already had put in place in Turkey. not all that much further from the Soviet border than the Cuban weaponry was from Washington. Miami never was the target. D.C. and some sites in Maryland and of course, Langley. The spooks were in their heyday then. It was shortly thereafter that The US declared that assination woud no longer be used as a tool of State.
But MaCain would have made a much better President, but I still don't trust the extreme far right to not have at least tried to remove him even with extreme prejudice to place their pawn in the catbird seat. I am surprised you never (bring u , ed.)the 'conspiracy to murder JFK" by hardliners that did not like his 1)civil rights stand 2)his willingness to enter into a dialog with the Russians,and 3) his brother's crackdown on organized crime. there were a number of upset mobsters after they helped get Jack elected (check your history especially in regards to the late, late and questionable returns from Chicago) when Papa Joe called in his markers from HIS rum running days. From my perspective, Bootleggers seem to permeate the Republican Party. Please understand that I was a staunch republican after LBJ's terms. I enlisted in the Army in 1969 believing in Mom, Apple Pie, Barry Goldwater and Nuke the Commies, even I knew some of the more obscure history of Ho Chi Minh and his attempts to get the US to help him get rid of the colonial French
Jack Lynn all returns from Chicago are questionable....!!!!!

Robert Blakeslee . Uncle Ho the son of a minor Provincial official, had the contacts and wherewithal to go to France ( the Colonial owner of French Indochina) where he apprenticed in the Culinary Arts - might of been Paris, before moving on to Russia to matriculate at the International University in Moscow or Leningrad, where doesn't matter, the school produced the leaders of nearly every leftist revolution from 1945 on. I think the curriculum consisted of mostly Red Doctrine Ho's aim was not a Communist state, He was out to get rid of the hated colonial rulers and anyone that would help was his friend. He thought that having thrown off our own colonial yoke we we be eager to assist them. but the powers that were, being WWII Vets, Ike and JFK, we were beholden to our allies the Free French, ( led by that long drink of water Charles Degaulle, (another WWII hero -Ike's French counterpart ). You do realize I hope that the Middle Eastern Crises we face today stems from the way the defeated Ottoman Empire was carved up after WWI and the Brits were given the oil rich deserts of Palestine and Lebanon. The technology wasn't there to drill offshore in the North Sea in 1918 and the British needed oil they did't have in their own country. A century we are faced with Arab terrorists (they don't have the resources to equip a modern army) fighting over the greed of the Allied victors of the 'War to end all Wars". I'm not a Historian but I have paid attention to why the world is the way it is politically.

Robert Blakeslee I don't think Barrack Hussein is a student of History, as I understand it he was a rabble rouser oop sorry, community activist, in , of all places that hotbed of voter fraud, Chicago (second only to Florida I think) ( how does that republican prayer go? "thank you Lord for Hanging Chad. he's swinging high from the ballot box now.You put the Blessed Cross-hairs on his neck.....") and as a successful politico I suspect he's more worried about re-election than a little old bomb or two going off in the good old USA.The thought of a Palin Presidency scares me a whole lot more. And we have had Presidents that were much worse. Ol' Hickory's treatment of the Cree and Seminole and Cherokee nations when he forced them out of Georgia at gunpoint to get at the gold in Stone Mountain made us enemies within our own boundaries and whose wounds still fester. I'm more afraid of my Apache Brothers than I am of a few towel head fanatics. But whatever shortcomings He (Obama) may have in understanding the World Politic, it only does our whole country a great disservice to make up lies about the man to try and get him out of office before his duly elected term expires. I have enjoyed this conversation, you have raise a few valid points and parroted a few hysterical accusations but that has been a part of American political discourse since at least 1750. Some gentle labellings and name calling have always been part of the process I am going to post my comments on my Blog and would like the permission of everyone who has taken part in it so far include their contributions as well. Unlike Fox News I do believe in fair and balanced reporting. when it comes to politics and religion there are as many opinons as participants and I do hope I haven't bored you with this little history lesson.
