Jim Webb may ditch the Dems, run independent POTUS campaign. Wish the Republicans had someone with big brass one's I wonder how many Webb could shear off the Demo and the Dumbo voting columns. Semper Fi!

Radio Randy howdja like these beans?

    Jim Webb is the nearest to sane of any of the Democrats running for president.
    I hope he DOES run as independent.
    The more the merrier.

    In thinking of it. To die with that on my conscience? So i wrote the intro to reversing the re-definitions. I don't much care If God forgives me unless the responsible citizens of the country do so first. Viva la counter-revolution!

    Why here? I don't know who will be the man or woman on a white horse (an historical reference to a leader that appears out of nowhere - the horse is to identify the leader on the battlefield - but I can think of far less believable paths than US Marine to Republican to Democrat to Constitutional Independent and a returning to the oath of office we all take in the military. or maybe there is another?

    Thus I uphold my oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign AND domestic. Because it's the right thing to do.

    There is in Nogales, Sonora just across from Nogales, Arizona a statue of a spear being driven into the corpse of a reptilian beast entitled Death of Ignorance. People north of the border would do well to learn the lesson.

    Padre Nacho — A powerful and controversial Nogales priest ...
    http://borderzine.com

    Jun 17, 2010 - Padre Nacho was a long-time icon in Nogales, Sonora. So much ... The Mono Bichi is a huge statue of a Mexican killing a a bat with his trident. The bat represents the death of ignorance, something Padre Nacho cared about. "Bichi is also the local word for uncovered or naked. They even have a Bichi Burger down in San Carlos or a diet hamburger. In this case it meant something far different. But the use of the word exemplifies the contempt Padre Nacho felt for people who reveled in ignorance and he was preaching to Mexicanos.

    Nacho built the original statue it is reported, with his own hands then with others pitching in and helping. Not by being asked nor harangued from a pulpit such as this one. Because ONE individual made a difference and because it was the RIGHT thing to do. That stopped the border riots dead and cold in their tracks.

    Would we had a Padre Nacho north of the border... Instead we have Reverent Wright."

    In any case this is the introduction to Un-redefining The Facts in what should be a two or three part lesson in history on what simple yet heavily distorted terms such as left, center, right, conservative, liberal, extremist and moderate have become. Funny part is ....they are almost back where they started....sort of.

    In studying history one learns to connect the dots. Ask questions. "If this is true then how did that happen?" "If Lincoln and the Republicans freed the slaves and were anti slavery why are African Americans voting for Left Wing Fascist Establishment descendants of the slave owning classes?" I put that in to piss off a certain group of people who I routinely ignore. Demagogues, Bigots, and those who deal in false assumptions, twisted facts, untruths, and re-definitions. Those who can't identify the dots much less connect them. If you are pissed off at that so what? I don't need to identify those who can identify themselves. They have their own moral or immoral values to contend with. Not my problem.

    Ever wonder how the left comes up with the descriptions they use to marginalize or demonize their enemies? They just look in the mirror and describe what they see."

    Thankfully no one could ever mistake me for Hillary. But there is this statue in Nogales, Sonora just across the border from Nogales Arizona.....

    Now I really don't care what happens below. Part II and or Part III are almost written. Then I get to pour gas on the fire and maybe cremate some ignorance like one of my heroes Padre Nacho. Whiy? It is not the Wrong nor the Wright thing to do. It is the Right thing to do.

    Unfortunately, the first time I ever heard of Webb was during the Dumbo Debate.
    I do find, however, that politicians who served in the military often (but, not always) have a far better grasp on reality than those who haven't.

    The establishment stranglehold on the White House and Congress must be broken if we are going to save the Republic and the Constitution.

    It would be a big switch for many of us and a bold step for the real greater good but can anyone comment on Jib Webb as an objectivest number one and a constitutionalist number two Radio Randy seems to know him well?. His Marine and military credentials speak to both of those as very possible. None of us could afford to be anything but practical.

    Thinking Democrat has become an oxymoron. The talking heads laughed at Jim Webb, saying he was complaining that Hillary wasn't suited for the Democrat party of 1948. Look for him to become the new Ralph Nader, drawing off a few percent and gaining the hatred of Democrat elite for stopping Hillary's coronation.

    There are no sides with the Government Party fleeting faces with interchangeable names but only The Party and for them my name is Jack.

    Did a great job as SecNav, his push was always for the members, and he took some flak for it.

    I agree, my wife is a Webb fan, and I was on active duty when he was SecNav. He has flown his flag under both colors, and I really think he does not ascribe to the "mamber of the party, die for the party" philosophy. I do not know what his detailed reasons for his swap was, but I am willing to bet he had some issues with the power brokers in the Repub party, and took a chance on the Dems. Has anyone noticed the last 20 years that both parties have decayed into personality cults? I think it grates on people like Webb who seem to view things more as right/wrong, than as agenda items for specific people or groups.

    It's the optimum time to split the Government Party both their left wing of the left and their right wing of the left. Byi any means available. Make zero mistake Republican = Democrat = left wing socialist fascists. Someone wants to support the demon side that's the RinoHeehaws Party. Anti Citizens.anti constitutions anti freedom and anti the democratic process and the Republic. Who supports them? Overt Socialist fascists, sleeper agents, fellow travelers, propagandists the demon side the dark side. Sorry to embellish your statement so much but some respond to subtlety and some need to get Jack Slapped.

    That would be the optimum situation for the demon side...split the votes...no matter how much they cheat, there won't be enough to garner a win.

    The Democratic party has not always been the rabid group they now are. Jim Webb came from the Vietnam era and probably still had a very bad taste in his mouth, due to the actions of certain well known Republicans. I, myself, voted for Bill Clinton's first run for President, because I had become disillusioned with George Bush, Sr. and the Iraq War situation. We all make mistakes...sometimes, really big ones.
    As for Jim Webb, I was impressed that he chose to run as an Independent, rather than trying to ride on the shirttails of the Republican party. I don't expect he will go far, but if there weren't a better choice...
    We've had some good people come from the Liberal ranks, once their eyes were opened. I understand that Charlton Heston was a flaming Liberal, long before he was the famous president of the NRA.
    There may be some hope for Webb, yet...especially if his comments, during the "debate" where sincere.

    Money is an expression of the value of your work and your worthy. Wealth is anything in excess of current need. It's nothing more than a method of storing and transferring. Money spent as it is earned is gone with something to show for it - in it's place. Anything else is risk capital. Even if the investment is backing future need. No guarantees but the risk can be lessened. One way is to choose a government which protects it's citizens instead of looting them.

    Economics cannot be set down as a series of rigid rules that always works because people are prone to change the rules, not because they make things better, but because they serve the delusion that the change will make the result better. Base Line paying does not lower the debt. Raising the debt limit does not make spending better or relieve pressure. The face value of paper money does not retain its value no matter what. Things do not result the way you want them to just because you want them to. There are fancier ways to say these things, but either way, wishing won't make it so.

    Why the military? Because they are the only part of government that can legally carry out a counter revolution. What happens then is fifty fifty and pick 'em. What happens without that is the end. I hope they will remember not all citizens treated them despicably and they enjoy the support of many.

    The universal push to the hangman's noose by the D's to impose O-care and a litany of other unconstitutional items the marked lockstep to force on us invalidates any D from consideration, at least until none of the perpetrators are left in office.

    The Rs have no need to do what Webb is doing, its his cesspit to wade in or out of.

    The RINOs have their own to muck to foist themselves out of (I highly doubt their idiotology will permit them to do so, even if the public would).

    (apologies it was sloppy and almost incomprehensible)

    Rino = Democrat = Socialist. The lapdogs of the left they do as they are bidden in exchange for puppy chow. Pathetic performance even for street theater. Well....what do you expect from a one party system of government?

    I'll go with a one of the destroyers, the terminators, and absolutely behind any in the military who follow their oath of office. I want to see what comes next before I die laughing.

    Any of the above is the antithesis of None of the above. So far None of the above has won my vote without question.

    Pathetic you want pathetic you have been offered.

    I must be a sucker for punishment, but all day I have been envisioning Trump, despite signing a pledge not to run as an independent, doing just that, and Joe Biden running as an independent also. With four contenders, that would be a horse race!

    On the other hand none of the RINOS and their hangers on had the balls to do what Webb is reportedly doing. None of the RINOS or their hangers on passed the minimal litmus tests to be considered except one and it wasn't Rand. A very big time disappointment but good at ducking questions quack quack quack..

    I'm going to seriously watch and consider what Webb is doing and gauge how many of the Donkeys will follow and then how many of the non RINOS. For sure those numbers subtracted from their winner takes all philosophy is threatened. Add the breakaways, disenfranchised and independents he might pose a more serious threat to the status quo establishment one party crowd and blow the whole thing up in their face.

    Assuming the bimbo parade etc doesn't begin. I see the same flaw in all the so called two major party candidates. Both parties are sadly deficient and both are left wing socialist fascist either corporatist, statist or both.

    None of the splinter parties like Libertarians are offering much .....might be time to light the fuse.

    Don't much care if its C4 or Semtex as long as it does the job at the ballot box. Come to think of it Semtex seems to be more favored in the two faced Government Party.

    Webb obviously has more sense than the rest of his party. That said, he chose to be a democrat which shows a seriously flaw in his judgment that would prevent my voting for him.
