It was 4 years old when I was on and yes, it was clean, spacious and very well air conditioned. It was the flagship for the Gator Navy at the time. The Oklahoma City was the 7th fleet flagship at that time. And unless we were conducting amphibious operations with other elements of the gator fleet, yes we were pretty much on our own. Except for the submarine that was supposedly always within an hour away. They always tied up after us and tours were always available. As a flagship it was pretty Mickey Mouse duty but we pretty much had the best of everything. Riv, you missed the time an ensign fell overboard from the sponson deck, survived by making water wings out of his pants and got picked up a half day later by the Russian Trawler that was always trailing us. We traded cigarettes and ice cream to the Ruskies for him......

Well Ok. Point us to where he does explain. Free Healthcare, Free College and other equalities, will cost more than a little. I did hear him make reference to Taxes in Eisenhower's
day. That was 92% top I think. Sure that was the tax rate for the big fish in the big pond. The big fish in the little ponds paid their fair share too though. You got to the 60% bracket
at about 60 thousand. Then he wants to raise the tax on business! Hell, we have the highest in the world now! That will finish the job, they leave you all standing there with your hand out
and a dumb ass look on your face. Bernie might comfort you but what the fuck is he going to do then?

Yeah it's through my company so we got a big group rate. Did you see how NBC gave Sanders the shaft on the NBC/WSJ poll?

You think I'm worried about a wall street poll?

If you switch to health net you could get a plan for all 9 of you for $1243 per month.

Yes I have a total of 5 kids. I'll get a $550 break when my daughter turns 18 in December, then it's $550 for my son in 2.5 years, then it's $2,800 for my third oldest in 7 years and 2,500 for my 4th in 8 years.
 
It totally pisses me off because I get taxed on my income and I can't write it off. I understand that it's supposed to be all for the kids, but we all know it's not.

I think Joe is a bright guy who is well informed and has an excellent grasp of foreign affairs and is pretty objective about bipartisan issues. I watched him in many debates before he was in the executive branch of govt. He's a guy who will work with any politician in DC for solutions and not toe the party line in order to achieve stalemate after stalemate. Is he the perfect candidate..probably not but given the field...I think he'd shake up the inbalance in choices for the presidential race.

I saw his Iraq proposals when W was still president. ISIS is the result. Not too bright about his specialty, foreign affairs.

ISIS is not Joe Biden's doing...I get that you don't like Joe but is that even necessary? Terrorist groups are the brainchild of Biden's Iraq proposals?

Ding ding ding ding ding! We can fire the president after 4 years! Can we fire Stephen Helmsley?

Yes you can, and exactly the same way (by vote). And you don't have to wait 4 years.

He proposed a federal Iraq. Sunni state (which is ISIS), Shiia state (which is Iraq), and Kurds (also Iraq, but autonomous).

I'm satisfied to call him dangerous. Obama had zero foreign policy chops. Biden's plan was implemented. ISIS.

So if he's dangerous and responsible for ISIS in your view..he must be tried as a war criminal or were you exaggerating just a bit there?

Some people say Nixon was a war criminal for bombing Cambodia. But Obama isn't for bombimg Pakistan.

In my book, he's proven he is not to be trusted.

I don't think he's a war criminal for being wrong.

Joe was the expert, had access to everything Bush did.

So did Pelosi and many other Democrats.

Or the fool was a fool is your best defense?

LOL

I'm not trying to defend Joe...I just said of the field of candidates, he's a better risk than any I can see on the ballot so far. I like that he admits when he's wrong and works at doing his job ..call him a fool..that's you attacking his character..I'm not in court as a defense attorney here. I'm not even lobbying for him. I just think he has a better chance at stopping the horrible options that the GOP presents than the current field of choices do

I actually like Joe as a person. He seems sincere and kind. He's just ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
