Supporting hypocrisy by saying ''others did it too'' sets a bad example for the children.
When people look for answers to why their children turn to drugs and alcohol, and wonder why their children lack a basic morality and exhibit poor ethics..they have only to look as far as their own words and action as examples
I have to admit Dude, you surprised me here. I didn't expect you to come out in support of this.

Wait, I wasn't saying "others did it too", as an excuse.
I was just pointing out that what this guy did was WORSE than the other 107 held up by other Republicans, because at least those were held up nominally because of some sort of moral or ethical question.
Not that I necessarily agree with their points, but at least it wasn't the blatant Bullshit this guy is pulling.
It doesn't matter who else did or didn't do what else. This is either right or wrong on its own standalone merits.
And killing your neighbors dog with a stolen rake is even more wrong.It doesn't matter who else did or didn't do what else. This is either right or wrong on its own standalone merits.
Yeah, I guess that's true.
But there are levels of how wrong some things are.
Stealing a rake from your neighbor is wrong.
Killing your neighbors dog is definitely MORE wrong.

DNC: Shelbys Hold Is Leaving Empty Chairs In The Pentagon
The DNC is going out with a new Web vid that makes the case as directly as possible that Richard Shelbys blanket hold is a threat to our nations safety, charging that Shelbys blocking of national security nominees has left empty chairs in the Pentagon:
YouTube - Empty Chairs
Republican Senator Richard Shelby is holding these nominees up, the vid says, linking Shelbys hold to other GOP obstructionism and efforts to block other nominees: Tell Senator Shelby and Senate Republicans: Shame on you for putting politics ahead of our nations security.
The vid reflects the fact that Dems are growing more emboldened (perhaps belatedly) in making the claim that Republicans, not Democrats, are the ones imperiling our safety. Its another sign that the war over national security heading into the 2010 elections is fully engaged.
But we DO have something from his spokesperson:
Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) spokesperson Jonathan Graffeo sent TPM the following statement this morning on Shelby's decision to place holds on a number of Obama's nominees Thursday:
"Sen. Shelby has placed holds on several pending nominees due to unaddressed national security concerns. Among his concerns is that nearly 10 years after the U.S. Air Force announced plans to replace the aging tanker fleet, we still do not have a transparent and fair acquisition process to move forward. The Department of Defense must recognize that the draft Request for Proposal needs to be significantly and substantively changed.
Sen. Shelby is also deeply concerned that the Administration will not release the funds already appropriated to the FBI to build the Terrorist Explosives Devices Analytical Center."
I guess the impotent patek will say a statement from piggy pig Shelby's spokesman isn't good enough though.
Where's the link fat ass bitch? You got real nerve you worthless ****. No wonder this place is the nexus of your pathetic social life.
It's pretty much come down to the old adage about getting in the slop house with pigs.
The impotent little patek is the pig.
No thanks. I'll just be content to watch as the news of this grows and you are forced to actually think about this for more than a minute and realize HOW FUCKING WRONG YOU ARE.

I posted the link earlier in this thread. What the fuck is your problem?

Is your name "paper view" too?
It was a consortium bid. Most of the components would be built and all of the assembly would be done in America, by Northrop/Grumman and their contractors.They didn't want the Europeans to get the contract for our defense needs. Whether or not it was right or wrong is a different story and can be argued that we shouldn't outsource our defense needs to other countries.
Well well well...what do we have here!!!!????
Political Shift
In the end, many analysts think the contract won't be decided on these exacting requirements but on politics. While the initial award was made when the Republicans were still in power and would have brought jobs to GOP strongholds such as Alabama and South Carolina, the political winds have since shifted. With the Democrats in control, that bodes well for Boeing, since most of its factories and employment hubs are concentrated in blue states such as Illinois, Connecticut, and Washington.Already some Democrats, such as Senator Patty Murray (D-Wash.) and Representative John Murtha (D-Pa.), have pressed the Pentagon to pick Boeing, since the World Trade Organization issued a preliminary ruling in mid-September that European governments had given improper subsidies to Airbus.

The Airbus deal calls for the planes to be manufactured in Mobile, Alabama. According to details of the Boeing proposal released last year, its tanker would be built in Seattle, WA and Wichita, KS.

I was asking what was your problem since you seem to have some serious issues that you have not yet dealt with.
Unless the dog is a total dick.
Then it's ok.
<doglovers, I keed>
<it's cats that should be bopped>
There is going to be some fight over this.Crap, earmarks and pork nothing...Airbus/Northrop/Grumman won the bid to produce something to serve in one of the few actually legitimate functions of the federal gubmint.
You're going to get this when the previously agreed upon rules of the process are thrown out by fiat.
You can bet though that its more then just the contract, the goP had to suck on it while Barry passed a number of questionable apointees into the gov, now they have a say again.
