Maybe Leach believes blowing money we don’t have “in the U.S.-infrastructure,etc.” is better than blowing money we don’t have “outside the U.S.-rest of empire”. I can agree with this sentiment, however, Obama’s recent shift in military philosophy seems to indicate there will be no meaningful reduction in worldwide troop deployment.. Since the “entitlements” are definitely not going to be reduced and you can’t cut interest payments on the national debt, the only meaningful reduction is the military(and in a BIG way-ala Ron Paul). Both parties want “guns and butter” and it didn’t work in the 60’s and it’s obvious it won’t work today. Have a nice day

I hope this is a trend where politicians work toward what is best for our country and not just for their political party. I believe many many Americans are tired of the name calling, the message of hate radio, and placing political parties before country. We face very serious problems in our country. I hope we can all united to make this a place that is better for our children than it was for us.

Why is it that when a republican joins the democrats it is call Bi-Partisan but when a democrat joins the Republicans it is called selling out their side? It is either selling out or working together on either side.
