“Where is the Democratic Party in Arizona? Why hasn’t it started a recall for Governor Brewer? Her actions in regard to the redistricting commission seem to border on criminal. Why don’t we hear a peep from the Democrats?”
“It is interesting that the news media has not mentioned that Jon Corzine, who is a former Senator and former Governor of New Jersey, is a Democrat. Jon Corzine, who headed MF Global, is now involved in a scandal and investigation regarding $600,000.000.00 funds missing from the firm. If he was a Republican, the press would be all over publicizing that fact.”
“Holder blames Congress for not giving enough support to the ATF. Under Holder the ATF is a runaway agency and should be shut down. So far the only proof shown of guns being smuggled south are those the ATF allowed to go. The system already in place would have stopped them. A case of the Obama administration creating an issue to try and distract from their own incompetence.”
“It is no surprise that a former Air Force pilot considers the F-35 “critical”. There is no shiny new toy the military does not want, cost what it may. Many of the features the writer claims the F-35 sports are yet to be developed. In the end, it may have them or not, and the cost will without doubt be higher than its already astronomical asking price. The U.S already enjoys military superiority on land, sea and air over all other nations. The writer warns us that Russia and China are working on modern war planes too. We already spend more on military hardware than they do. In fact we spend more on war making capability than the rest of the world combined. We must not let unreasonable fear drive us into the poor house.”
“I can’t believe how many people are blaming President Obama for all the things that are wrong with the country today. You never heard of “homeless people” before the Reagan era. He gave us what he knew: that he and all his believers in him were on a Hollywood set, a fantasy where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. George W Bush bankrupted every company that his father let him run and he bankrupted the U.S. Obama is stuck with the fallout just as the investors that believed in Bernie Madoff. It takes more than four years to straighten this out. Wake up people and see who is really at fault here.”

Vent#1: I thought the democrats had the redistricting committee stacked with it's own people. Remember that the so-called independent was a registered democrat and ran for office as a democrat.
Vent#2: You are right about the liberal/progressive/socialist MSM, they don't want to make a big deal of a failed and crooked democrats. They already have one in the White House.
Vent#3: Typical of the White House and it's Cabinet Heads, Duck and cover, deny everything and demand proof. Then always blame someone else.
Vent#4: The joint tactical fighter is designed to be a multifunction fighter. The development of a new weapons system is challenging. This maybe the last of the manned fighters that will be produced. What price is freedom worth?
Vent#5: How much time and money does it take for the president to take responsibility for his actions and his policies? For me he has had plenty of time and money to have his policies to work and they don't. It's Obama's economy and his increasing debt and deficit.

In response to Chatmandu:
#1: By law, the chairperson was a registered Independent at the time of her appointment. She was selected from among 5 candidates by the other four panel members, including two republicans. The only reason that Brewer and conservatives are upset is that the panel actually followed the law by creating more competitive districts (while still maintaining a Republican majority). Sorry, but this was just political grandstanding by a Republican Governor and a Republican state legislature.
#2. I have heard Corzine referred to as "former Democratic governor" many times. As for the "liberal" press, this is just a myth of the far right wing. Some media is liberal (MSNBC), most are moderate, and some are conservative (FOX, WSJ)
#3. Strange, I hear multiple cries about Operation Fast and Furious", but none about Operation Wide Receiver, which Fast and Furious was modeled after. Wide Receiver led to thousands of weapons landing in the hands of the Mexican cartels. Can it be that WR occured under the Bush administration, so the neocons like yourself is afraid to talk about it.
#5. I will be glad for this President talking responsibility for his actions and policies. Under his watch unemployment has increased from 7.8 % to 9.1%. Compare to GWB, who watched unemployment go from 4.3% to 7.8%. While adding to the budget deficit, his actions have been an attempt at fixing a bad economy using temporary spending and tax cuts, while much of the deficit comes from permanent spending and tax cuts that came from the Bush adminstration. And yes, Obama can take credit for the one thing GWB refused to do, taking any means necessary to eliminate Osama bin Ladin. So I'm sorry, but I'll take the current President over anything you have to offer.

Great Job, sdjtaz. Welcome to the cite!

sdjtaz, Get you facts straight. The weapons lost under operation Wide Receiver were a total of 462 and the Mexican government was informed of the weapons.
Under operation Fast and Furious the number of weapons as of Nov 20, 2011 is 2,020 with 389 recovered in the US and 276 recovered in Mexico. The Mexican government was not informed of operation Fast and Furious gun walking.
Do some research before you regurgitate some of the liberal/progressive koolaide facts.

sdjtaz, Ms Mathis is an independent in registration only and a democrat at heart, let a contract without bid to a democrat friendly mapping firm while not abiding by the Open Meeting Law. Gross misconduct for sure.

4th venter: If we didn't/don't keep our Armed Forces STRONGER than many other countries, you wouldn't be able to express yourself as you just did.
5th venter: I remember President Obama statement that he plans to "redistribute the wealth". THAT'S ALL I NEED. He needs to go....
