		<description>Obviously this is all about your love of foreign investment, like Sun Myung Moon&#039;s ownership of the Washington Times and the Saudi Sheik who owns nearly a third of FOX News.  You&#039;re quite the cosmopolitan.</description>

		<description>reg, I use &lt;i&gt;&quot;France!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to &lt;/i&gt;their capablity to fight.  Maybe an Alabama influence will have a positive impact on them.  

I&#039;m willing to take their investment dollars and jobs.  You on the other hand don&#039;t want foreign investments?</description>

		<description>Woody - are you really too stupid to understand the irony of a little shithead peckerwood who uses &quot;FRANCE!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to analysing healthcare - and engages in the most rank nativist bigotry as a mtter of course - defending Richard Shelby&#039;s petulant insult to this country (not because of FRANCE!!!! but his absurd abuse of the &quot;hold&quot; maneuver) with his porky, self-serving Airbus deal. You can argue this till doomsday, but you can&#039;t help but come out looking like a weasel hoist on your own idiot&#039;s petard.  

Get a life, get out of the gutter and get at least a bit of a sense of humor about the asinine nature of your own fucking bigoted rants if you expect us to suffer those steaming piles of horse-shit you relentlessly drop in these comments.  You&#039;re ridiculous.</description>

		<description>reg, is that you with whom I&#039;m arguing on another site?

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;From article:  &quot;...to help a foreign company.&quot;

Woody:  That statement is completely wrong. It shows a bias and intentional deceit.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Slightly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Slightly? It came from Kos and is only &quot;slightly&quot; deceitful? Shelby is defending his state&#039;s interests, not a foreign company.

-----

&lt;i&gt;Woody: Sen. Shelby is trying to help U.S. taxpayers and workers in his state and is trying to get the Obama government to play fair on the contract.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;True, it is simply a side effect that it will put money in a foreign company&#039;s profits.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Since when has the &quot;foreign company&quot; excluded U.S. shareholders? There will be huge financial gains in our nation through construction, workers, and taxes.

A &quot;side effect&quot; is that Boeing&#039;s monopoly within the U.S. will be challenged with workers from another part of our nation. Of course, Democratic repesentatives have compared Southern workers to Bubbas in a garage and said that they aren&#039;t qualified. But, as we&#039;re seeing, workers in Alabama produce &quot;foreign&quot; cars better than heavy-unionized Detroit produce domestic models.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  The Pentagon originally awarded the contract to build new Air Force tankers to a joint venture with a company in L.A., and the plane is to be built in Mobile, Alabama, where, by the way, U.S. workers live.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Yep.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Might I add, non-union workers.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  That plane is far superior to the one that Boeing proposed. It&#039;s larger, more cost effective, and won&#039;t be delayed like Boeing&#039;s because of problems with Boeing&#039;s plane.

After losing, Boeing went to court and whined to a bunch of weasley, crooked politicians who made the Pentagon throw out the award and rebid it with criteria tailored to Boeing.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;Nope. Boeing filed a compaint that the Airbus wasn&#039;t to the RFP specks, and it worked its way through the courts and won.

Not political, legal.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  I notice that you didn&#039;t dispute the part about Northrup&#039;s plane being the best for the Air Force or that Boeing is having major problems with their plane--not that it should matter to you, as it only involves our military.

As I remember, the court never ruled on this. The Pentagon caved to political pressure before it came to that. THAT is political. Also, political is changing the rules to help Boeing and sharing winning bid details with Boeing but not sharing Boeing bid details with Northrop. This is also part of paying back the unions for their support of Obama. Not political?

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  It&#039;s not Shelby holding things up. Those planes should already be in production. The people responsible for the holds are the ones who don&#039;t mind screwing the taxpayers and moving the awarded bid for their own special interests.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  That&#039;s the dumbest spin I&#039;ve ever seen.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  No, without interference by the Democrats, we would never have come to this point. It&#039;s just like a liberal to think that everyone should roll over to give them what they want and blame others who defend themselves. If the Democrats don&#039;t like it, then they can play fair or keep whining and pointing fingers. But, they delayed the deal, and it hurts our military that they did.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  If they want to cheat, they shouldn&#039;t take offense at anyone who tries to block them in a fair way.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  If you have the slightest evidence that Boeing cheated, again, you could make millions.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Where do I collect my money? Boeing has publicly and deeply lied about their competition and the contract, for which there is ample proof, and heavily lobbied an administration that said that it was going to change that aspect of Washington.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Now, pull your partisan head out of your partisan ass and educate yourself. I just gave you a head start.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Funny, that you noticed with your own buried so deeply. You didn&#039;t educate me. You put in your own spin and conveniently left out important information. Frankly, while it may upset you like Sen. Shelby does, people who don&#039;t support job-killing unions, Obama, and lying Democrats aren&#039;t going away...and, we know more than you do.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Apparently, judging from this site and that commenter, the phrase &quot;pulling your head out of your ass&quot; is a universal response from socialists who really can&#039;t argue with the truth.</description>

		<description>Note - that &quot;rodent&quot; line was NOT directed at Jim R, who I also enjoy screwing with.  But Jim R is not a troll, just a guy who confuses his relatively decent intentions with good policy. Big difference and I apologize to Jim if he thought I was putting him in the same barrel as TrollBoy.  I have deep differences with Jim - I think he clings to simplistic &quot;solutions&quot;, but I don&#039;t hold him in contempt.  I&#039;ll admit to being rude, but it&#039;s not intended as a dismissal. Just &quot;the way I roll&quot; when confronted with what I perceive as nonsense.  I&#039;m sure he gets that by now.</description>

		<description>When one reads some the trollbait nonsense, above, its worth pointing out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goforbroke.org/history/history_historical_veterans_442nd.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the truth&lt;/a&gt; is a fine antidote to asininity:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was “go for broke.” It’s a gambling term that means risking everything on one great effort to win big. The soldiers of the 442nd needed to win big. They were Nisei - American-born sons of Japanese immigrants. They fought two wars: the Germans in Europe and the prejudice in America.

The motto was invented by the high-rolling Nisei soldiers who came from the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaii-born Nisei, also known as “Buddhaheads,” made up about two-thirds of the regiment. The remaining third were Nisei from the mainland. In April 1943, the islanders and mainlanders arrived for training at Camp Shelby, Mississippi. Immediately, they fought with each other because of different perspectives based on where they grew up. 

[...]

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated unit for its size and length of service, in the entire history of the U.S. Military. The 4,000 men who initially came in April 1943 had to be replaced nearly 3.5 times. In total, about 14,000 men served, ultimately earning 9,486 Purple Hearts , 21 Medals of Honor and an unprecedented eight Presidential Unit Citations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Truth to bullshit. The truth wins again.</description>

		<description>Just for the record, Woody is supporting Richard Shelby holding every nominee of Obama&#039;s hostage so that Airbus, a FRENCH corporation, gets military contracts and Boeing is excluded from the bidding process.  That&#039;s right - Woody is supporting a blockade of any and all Obama nominations until the Cheese-Eating-Surrender-Monkeys get their tails in the door with Richard Shelby&#039;s help.  Shocking!  Next he&#039;ll be dipping his pork rinds in foie gras during the SuperBowl and washing them down with Fischer La Belle Alsace.</description>

I&#039;m willing to take their investment dollars and jobs.  You on the other hand don&#039;t want foreign investments?</description>

		<description>Woody - are you really too stupid to understand the irony of a little shithead peckerwood who uses &quot;FRANCE!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to analysing healthcare - and engages in the most rank nativist bigotry as a mtter of course - defending Richard Shelby&#039;s petulant insult to this country (not because of FRANCE!!!! but his absurd abuse of the &quot;hold&quot; maneuver) with his porky, self-serving Airbus deal. You can argue this till doomsday, but you can&#039;t help but come out looking like a weasel hoist on your own idiot&#039;s petard.  

Get a life, get out of the gutter and get at least a bit of a sense of humor about the asinine nature of your own fucking bigoted rants if you expect us to suffer those steaming piles of horse-shit you relentlessly drop in these comments.  You&#039;re ridiculous.</description>

		<description>reg, is that you with whom I&#039;m arguing on another site?

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;From article:  &quot;...to help a foreign company.&quot;

Woody:  That statement is completely wrong. It shows a bias and intentional deceit.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Slightly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Slightly? It came from Kos and is only &quot;slightly&quot; deceitful? Shelby is defending his state&#039;s interests, not a foreign company.

-----

&lt;i&gt;Woody: Sen. Shelby is trying to help U.S. taxpayers and workers in his state and is trying to get the Obama government to play fair on the contract.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;True, it is simply a side effect that it will put money in a foreign company&#039;s profits.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Since when has the &quot;foreign company&quot; excluded U.S. shareholders? There will be huge financial gains in our nation through construction, workers, and taxes.

A &quot;side effect&quot; is that Boeing&#039;s monopoly within the U.S. will be challenged with workers from another part of our nation. Of course, Democratic repesentatives have compared Southern workers to Bubbas in a garage and said that they aren&#039;t qualified. But, as we&#039;re seeing, workers in Alabama produce &quot;foreign&quot; cars better than heavy-unionized Detroit produce domestic models.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  The Pentagon originally awarded the contract to build new Air Force tankers to a joint venture with a company in L.A., and the plane is to be built in Mobile, Alabama, where, by the way, U.S. workers live.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Yep.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Might I add, non-union workers.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  That plane is far superior to the one that Boeing proposed. It&#039;s larger, more cost effective, and won&#039;t be delayed like Boeing&#039;s because of problems with Boeing&#039;s plane.

After losing, Boeing went to court and whined to a bunch of weasley, crooked politicians who made the Pentagon throw out the award and rebid it with criteria tailored to Boeing.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;Nope. Boeing filed a compaint that the Airbus wasn&#039;t to the RFP specks, and it worked its way through the courts and won.

Not political, legal.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  I notice that you didn&#039;t dispute the part about Northrup&#039;s plane being the best for the Air Force or that Boeing is having major problems with their plane--not that it should matter to you, as it only involves our military.

As I remember, the court never ruled on this. The Pentagon caved to political pressure before it came to that. THAT is political. Also, political is changing the rules to help Boeing and sharing winning bid details with Boeing but not sharing Boeing bid details with Northrop. This is also part of paying back the unions for their support of Obama. Not political?

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  It&#039;s not Shelby holding things up. Those planes should already be in production. The people responsible for the holds are the ones who don&#039;t mind screwing the taxpayers and moving the awarded bid for their own special interests.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  That&#039;s the dumbest spin I&#039;ve ever seen.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  No, without interference by the Democrats, we would never have come to this point. It&#039;s just like a liberal to think that everyone should roll over to give them what they want and blame others who defend themselves. If the Democrats don&#039;t like it, then they can play fair or keep whining and pointing fingers. But, they delayed the deal, and it hurts our military that they did.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  If they want to cheat, they shouldn&#039;t take offense at anyone who tries to block them in a fair way.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  If you have the slightest evidence that Boeing cheated, again, you could make millions.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Where do I collect my money? Boeing has publicly and deeply lied about their competition and the contract, for which there is ample proof, and heavily lobbied an administration that said that it was going to change that aspect of Washington.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Now, pull your partisan head out of your partisan ass and educate yourself. I just gave you a head start.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Funny, that you noticed with your own buried so deeply. You didn&#039;t educate me. You put in your own spin and conveniently left out important information. Frankly, while it may upset you like Sen. Shelby does, people who don&#039;t support job-killing unions, Obama, and lying Democrats aren&#039;t going away...and, we know more than you do.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Apparently, judging from this site and that commenter, the phrase &quot;pulling your head out of your ass&quot; is a universal response from socialists who really can&#039;t argue with the truth.</description>

		<description>Note - that &quot;rodent&quot; line was NOT directed at Jim R, who I also enjoy screwing with.  But Jim R is not a troll, just a guy who confuses his relatively decent intentions with good policy. Big difference and I apologize to Jim if he thought I was putting him in the same barrel as TrollBoy.  I have deep differences with Jim - I think he clings to simplistic &quot;solutions&quot;, but I don&#039;t hold him in contempt.  I&#039;ll admit to being rude, but it&#039;s not intended as a dismissal. Just &quot;the way I roll&quot; when confronted with what I perceive as nonsense.  I&#039;m sure he gets that by now.</description>

		<description>When one reads some the trollbait nonsense, above, its worth pointing out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goforbroke.org/history/history_historical_veterans_442nd.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the truth&lt;/a&gt; is a fine antidote to asininity:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was “go for broke.” It’s a gambling term that means risking everything on one great effort to win big. The soldiers of the 442nd needed to win big. They were Nisei - American-born sons of Japanese immigrants. They fought two wars: the Germans in Europe and the prejudice in America.

The motto was invented by the high-rolling Nisei soldiers who came from the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaii-born Nisei, also known as “Buddhaheads,” made up about two-thirds of the regiment. The remaining third were Nisei from the mainland. In April 1943, the islanders and mainlanders arrived for training at Camp Shelby, Mississippi. Immediately, they fought with each other because of different perspectives based on where they grew up. 

[...]

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated unit for its size and length of service, in the entire history of the U.S. Military. The 4,000 men who initially came in April 1943 had to be replaced nearly 3.5 times. In total, about 14,000 men served, ultimately earning 9,486 Purple Hearts , 21 Medals of Honor and an unprecedented eight Presidential Unit Citations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Truth to bullshit. The truth wins again.</description>

		<description>Just for the record, Woody is supporting Richard Shelby holding every nominee of Obama&#039;s hostage so that Airbus, a FRENCH corporation, gets military contracts and Boeing is excluded from the bidding process.  That&#039;s right - Woody is supporting a blockade of any and all Obama nominations until the Cheese-Eating-Surrender-Monkeys get their tails in the door with Richard Shelby&#039;s help.  Shocking!  Next he&#039;ll be dipping his pork rinds in foie gras during the SuperBowl and washing them down with Fischer La Belle Alsace.</description>

I&#039;m willing to take their investment dollars and jobs.  You on the other hand don&#039;t want foreign investments?</description>

		<description>Woody - are you really too stupid to understand the irony of a little shithead peckerwood who uses &quot;FRANCE!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to analysing healthcare - and engages in the most rank nativist bigotry as a mtter of course - defending Richard Shelby&#039;s petulant insult to this country (not because of FRANCE!!!! but his absurd abuse of the &quot;hold&quot; maneuver) with his porky, self-serving Airbus deal. You can argue this till doomsday, but you can&#039;t help but come out looking like a weasel hoist on your own idiot&#039;s petard.  

Get a life, get out of the gutter and get at least a bit of a sense of humor about the asinine nature of your own fucking bigoted rants if you expect us to suffer those steaming piles of horse-shit you relentlessly drop in these comments.  You&#039;re ridiculous.</description>

		<description>reg, is that you with whom I&#039;m arguing on another site?

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;From article:  &quot;...to help a foreign company.&quot;

Woody:  That statement is completely wrong. It shows a bias and intentional deceit.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Slightly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Slightly? It came from Kos and is only &quot;slightly&quot; deceitful? Shelby is defending his state&#039;s interests, not a foreign company.

-----

&lt;i&gt;Woody: Sen. Shelby is trying to help U.S. taxpayers and workers in his state and is trying to get the Obama government to play fair on the contract.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;True, it is simply a side effect that it will put money in a foreign company&#039;s profits.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Since when has the &quot;foreign company&quot; excluded U.S. shareholders? There will be huge financial gains in our nation through construction, workers, and taxes.

A &quot;side effect&quot; is that Boeing&#039;s monopoly within the U.S. will be challenged with workers from another part of our nation. Of course, Democratic repesentatives have compared Southern workers to Bubbas in a garage and said that they aren&#039;t qualified. But, as we&#039;re seeing, workers in Alabama produce &quot;foreign&quot; cars better than heavy-unionized Detroit produce domestic models.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  The Pentagon originally awarded the contract to build new Air Force tankers to a joint venture with a company in L.A., and the plane is to be built in Mobile, Alabama, where, by the way, U.S. workers live.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Yep.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Might I add, non-union workers.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  That plane is far superior to the one that Boeing proposed. It&#039;s larger, more cost effective, and won&#039;t be delayed like Boeing&#039;s because of problems with Boeing&#039;s plane.

After losing, Boeing went to court and whined to a bunch of weasley, crooked politicians who made the Pentagon throw out the award and rebid it with criteria tailored to Boeing.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;Nope. Boeing filed a compaint that the Airbus wasn&#039;t to the RFP specks, and it worked its way through the courts and won.

Not political, legal.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  I notice that you didn&#039;t dispute the part about Northrup&#039;s plane being the best for the Air Force or that Boeing is having major problems with their plane--not that it should matter to you, as it only involves our military.

As I remember, the court never ruled on this. The Pentagon caved to political pressure before it came to that. THAT is political. Also, political is changing the rules to help Boeing and sharing winning bid details with Boeing but not sharing Boeing bid details with Northrop. This is also part of paying back the unions for their support of Obama. Not political?

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  It&#039;s not Shelby holding things up. Those planes should already be in production. The people responsible for the holds are the ones who don&#039;t mind screwing the taxpayers and moving the awarded bid for their own special interests.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  That&#039;s the dumbest spin I&#039;ve ever seen.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  No, without interference by the Democrats, we would never have come to this point. It&#039;s just like a liberal to think that everyone should roll over to give them what they want and blame others who defend themselves. If the Democrats don&#039;t like it, then they can play fair or keep whining and pointing fingers. But, they delayed the deal, and it hurts our military that they did.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  If they want to cheat, they shouldn&#039;t take offense at anyone who tries to block them in a fair way.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  If you have the slightest evidence that Boeing cheated, again, you could make millions.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Where do I collect my money? Boeing has publicly and deeply lied about their competition and the contract, for which there is ample proof, and heavily lobbied an administration that said that it was going to change that aspect of Washington.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Now, pull your partisan head out of your partisan ass and educate yourself. I just gave you a head start.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Funny, that you noticed with your own buried so deeply. You didn&#039;t educate me. You put in your own spin and conveniently left out important information. Frankly, while it may upset you like Sen. Shelby does, people who don&#039;t support job-killing unions, Obama, and lying Democrats aren&#039;t going away...and, we know more than you do.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Apparently, judging from this site and that commenter, the phrase &quot;pulling your head out of your ass&quot; is a universal response from socialists who really can&#039;t argue with the truth.</description>

<p>reg twin:  <b>Nope. Boeing filed a compaint that the Airbus wasn&#8217;t to the RFP specks, and it worked its way through the courts and won.</p>
<p>Not political, legal.</b></i></p>
<p>Woody:  I notice that you didn&#8217;t dispute the part about Northrup&#8217;s plane being the best for the Air Force or that Boeing is having major problems with their plane&#8211;not that it should matter to you, as it only involves our military.</p>
<p>As I remember, the court never ruled on this. The Pentagon caved to political pressure before it came to that. THAT is political. Also, political is changing the rules to help Boeing and sharing winning bid details with Boeing but not sharing Boeing bid details with Northrop. This is also part of paying back the unions for their support of Obama. Not political?</p>
<p>- &#8211; -</p>
<p><i>Woody:  It&#8217;s not Shelby holding things up. Those planes should already be in production. The people responsible for the holds are the ones who don&#8217;t mind screwing the taxpayers and moving the awarded bid for their own special interests.</p>
<p><b>reg twin:  That&#8217;s the dumbest spin I&#8217;ve ever seen.</b></i></p>
<p>Woody:  No, without interference by the Democrats, we would never have come to this point. It&#8217;s just like a liberal to think that everyone should roll over to give them what they want and blame others who defend themselves. If the Democrats don&#8217;t like it, then they can play fair or keep whining and pointing fingers. But, they delayed the deal, and it hurts our military that they did.</p>
<p>- &#8211; -</p>
<p><i>Woody:  If they want to cheat, they shouldn&#8217;t take offense at anyone who tries to block them in a fair way.</p>
<p><b>reg twin:  If you have the slightest evidence that Boeing cheated, again, you could make millions.</b></i></p>
<p>Woody:  Where do I collect my money? Boeing has publicly and deeply lied about their competition and the contract, for which there is ample proof, and heavily lobbied an administration that said that it was going to change that aspect of Washington.</p>
<p>- &#8211; -</p>
<p><i><b>reg twin:  Now, pull your partisan head out of your partisan ass and educate yourself. I just gave you a head start.</b></i></p>
<p>Woody:  Funny, that you noticed with your own buried so deeply. You didn&#8217;t educate me. You put in your own spin and conveniently left out important information. Frankly, while it may upset you like Sen. Shelby does, people who don&#8217;t support job-killing unions, Obama, and lying Democrats aren&#8217;t going away&#8230;and, we know more than you do.</p></blockquote>
<p>Apparently, judging from this site and that commenter, the phrase &#8220;pulling your head out of your ass&#8221; is a universal response from socialists who really can&#8217;t argue with the truth.</p>

		<description>Note - that &quot;rodent&quot; line was NOT directed at Jim R, who I also enjoy screwing with.  But Jim R is not a troll, just a guy who confuses his relatively decent intentions with good policy. Big difference and I apologize to Jim if he thought I was putting him in the same barrel as TrollBoy.  I have deep differences with Jim - I think he clings to simplistic &quot;solutions&quot;, but I don&#039;t hold him in contempt.  I&#039;ll admit to being rude, but it&#039;s not intended as a dismissal. Just &quot;the way I roll&quot; when confronted with what I perceive as nonsense.  I&#039;m sure he gets that by now.</description>

		<description>When one reads some the trollbait nonsense, above, its worth pointing out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goforbroke.org/history/history_historical_veterans_442nd.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the truth&lt;/a&gt; is a fine antidote to asininity:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was “go for broke.” It’s a gambling term that means risking everything on one great effort to win big. The soldiers of the 442nd needed to win big. They were Nisei - American-born sons of Japanese immigrants. They fought two wars: the Germans in Europe and the prejudice in America.

The motto was invented by the high-rolling Nisei soldiers who came from the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaii-born Nisei, also known as “Buddhaheads,” made up about two-thirds of the regiment. The remaining third were Nisei from the mainland. In April 1943, the islanders and mainlanders arrived for training at Camp Shelby, Mississippi. Immediately, they fought with each other because of different perspectives based on where they grew up. 

[...]

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated unit for its size and length of service, in the entire history of the U.S. Military. The 4,000 men who initially came in April 1943 had to be replaced nearly 3.5 times. In total, about 14,000 men served, ultimately earning 9,486 Purple Hearts , 21 Medals of Honor and an unprecedented eight Presidential Unit Citations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>Just for the record, Woody is supporting Richard Shelby holding every nominee of Obama&#039;s hostage so that Airbus, a FRENCH corporation, gets military contracts and Boeing is excluded from the bidding process.  That&#039;s right - Woody is supporting a blockade of any and all Obama nominations until the Cheese-Eating-Surrender-Monkeys get their tails in the door with Richard Shelby&#039;s help.  Shocking!  Next he&#039;ll be dipping his pork rinds in foie gras during the SuperBowl and washing them down with Fischer La Belle Alsace.</description>

		<description>Woody - are you really too stupid to understand the irony of a little shithead peckerwood who uses &quot;FRANCE!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to analysing healthcare - and engages in the most rank nativist bigotry as a mtter of course - defending Richard Shelby&#039;s petulant insult to this country (not because of FRANCE!!!! but his absurd abuse of the &quot;hold&quot; maneuver) with his porky, self-serving Airbus deal. You can argue this till doomsday, but you can&#039;t help but come out looking like a weasel hoist on your own idiot&#039;s petard.  

Get a life, get out of the gutter and get at least a bit of a sense of humor about the asinine nature of your own fucking bigoted rants if you expect us to suffer those steaming piles of horse-shit you relentlessly drop in these comments.  You&#039;re ridiculous.</description>

		<description>reg, is that you with whom I&#039;m arguing on another site?

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;From article:  &quot;...to help a foreign company.&quot;

Woody:  That statement is completely wrong. It shows a bias and intentional deceit.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Slightly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Slightly? It came from Kos and is only &quot;slightly&quot; deceitful? Shelby is defending his state&#039;s interests, not a foreign company.

-----

&lt;i&gt;Woody: Sen. Shelby is trying to help U.S. taxpayers and workers in his state and is trying to get the Obama government to play fair on the contract.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;True, it is simply a side effect that it will put money in a foreign company&#039;s profits.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Since when has the &quot;foreign company&quot; excluded U.S. shareholders? There will be huge financial gains in our nation through construction, workers, and taxes.

A &quot;side effect&quot; is that Boeing&#039;s monopoly within the U.S. will be challenged with workers from another part of our nation. Of course, Democratic repesentatives have compared Southern workers to Bubbas in a garage and said that they aren&#039;t qualified. But, as we&#039;re seeing, workers in Alabama produce &quot;foreign&quot; cars better than heavy-unionized Detroit produce domestic models.

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  The Pentagon originally awarded the contract to build new Air Force tankers to a joint venture with a company in L.A., and the plane is to be built in Mobile, Alabama, where, by the way, U.S. workers live.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Yep.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Might I add, non-union workers.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  That plane is far superior to the one that Boeing proposed. It&#039;s larger, more cost effective, and won&#039;t be delayed like Boeing&#039;s because of problems with Boeing&#039;s plane.

After losing, Boeing went to court and whined to a bunch of weasley, crooked politicians who made the Pentagon throw out the award and rebid it with criteria tailored to Boeing.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;Nope. Boeing filed a compaint that the Airbus wasn&#039;t to the RFP specks, and it worked its way through the courts and won.

Not political, legal.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  I notice that you didn&#039;t dispute the part about Northrup&#039;s plane being the best for the Air Force or that Boeing is having major problems with their plane--not that it should matter to you, as it only involves our military.

As I remember, the court never ruled on this. The Pentagon caved to political pressure before it came to that. THAT is political. Also, political is changing the rules to help Boeing and sharing winning bid details with Boeing but not sharing Boeing bid details with Northrop. This is also part of paying back the unions for their support of Obama. Not political?

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  It&#039;s not Shelby holding things up. Those planes should already be in production. The people responsible for the holds are the ones who don&#039;t mind screwing the taxpayers and moving the awarded bid for their own special interests.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  That&#039;s the dumbest spin I&#039;ve ever seen.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  No, without interference by the Democrats, we would never have come to this point. It&#039;s just like a liberal to think that everyone should roll over to give them what they want and blame others who defend themselves. If the Democrats don&#039;t like it, then they can play fair or keep whining and pointing fingers. But, they delayed the deal, and it hurts our military that they did.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  If they want to cheat, they shouldn&#039;t take offense at anyone who tries to block them in a fair way.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  If you have the slightest evidence that Boeing cheated, again, you could make millions.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Where do I collect my money? Boeing has publicly and deeply lied about their competition and the contract, for which there is ample proof, and heavily lobbied an administration that said that it was going to change that aspect of Washington.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Now, pull your partisan head out of your partisan ass and educate yourself. I just gave you a head start.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Funny, that you noticed with your own buried so deeply. You didn&#039;t educate me. You put in your own spin and conveniently left out important information. Frankly, while it may upset you like Sen. Shelby does, people who don&#039;t support job-killing unions, Obama, and lying Democrats aren&#039;t going away...and, we know more than you do.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Apparently, judging from this site and that commenter, the phrase &quot;pulling your head out of your ass&quot; is a universal response from socialists who really can&#039;t argue with the truth.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>reg, is that you with whom I&#8217;m arguing on another site?</p>
<blockquote><p><i>From article:  &#8220;&#8230;to help a foreign company.&#8221;</p>
<p>Woody:  That statement is completely wrong. It shows a bias and intentional deceit.</p>
<p><b>reg twin:  Slightly.</b></i></p>
<p>Woody:  Slightly? It came from Kos and is only &#8220;slightly&#8221; deceitful? Shelby is defending his state&#8217;s interests, not a foreign company.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p><i>Woody: Sen. Shelby is trying to help U.S. taxpayers and workers in his state and is trying to get the Obama government to play fair on the contract.</p>
<p>reg twin:  <b>True, it is simply a side effect that it will put money in a foreign company&#8217;s profits.</b></i></p>
<p>Woody:  Since when has the &#8220;foreign company&#8221; excluded U.S. shareholders? There will be huge financial gains in our nation through construction, workers, and taxes.</p>
<p>A &#8220;side effect&#8221; is that Boeing&#8217;s monopoly within the U.S. will be challenged with workers from another part of our nation. Of course, Democratic repesentatives have compared Southern workers to Bubbas in a garage and said that they aren&#8217;t qualified. But, as we&#8217;re seeing, workers in Alabama produce &#8220;foreign&#8221; cars better than heavy-unionized Detroit produce domestic models.</p>

		<description>Note - that &quot;rodent&quot; line was NOT directed at Jim R, who I also enjoy screwing with.  But Jim R is not a troll, just a guy who confuses his relatively decent intentions with good policy. Big difference and I apologize to Jim if he thought I was putting him in the same barrel as TrollBoy.  I have deep differences with Jim - I think he clings to simplistic &quot;solutions&quot;, but I don&#039;t hold him in contempt.  I&#039;ll admit to being rude, but it&#039;s not intended as a dismissal. Just &quot;the way I roll&quot; when confronted with what I perceive as nonsense.  I&#039;m sure he gets that by now.</description>

		<description>When one reads some the trollbait nonsense, above, its worth pointing out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goforbroke.org/history/history_historical_veterans_442nd.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the truth&lt;/a&gt; is a fine antidote to asininity:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was “go for broke.” It’s a gambling term that means risking everything on one great effort to win big. The soldiers of the 442nd needed to win big. They were Nisei - American-born sons of Japanese immigrants. They fought two wars: the Germans in Europe and the prejudice in America.

The motto was invented by the high-rolling Nisei soldiers who came from the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaii-born Nisei, also known as “Buddhaheads,” made up about two-thirds of the regiment. The remaining third were Nisei from the mainland. In April 1943, the islanders and mainlanders arrived for training at Camp Shelby, Mississippi. Immediately, they fought with each other because of different perspectives based on where they grew up. 

[...]

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated unit for its size and length of service, in the entire history of the U.S. Military. The 4,000 men who initially came in April 1943 had to be replaced nearly 3.5 times. In total, about 14,000 men served, ultimately earning 9,486 Purple Hearts , 21 Medals of Honor and an unprecedented eight Presidential Unit Citations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Truth to bullshit. The truth wins again.</description>

		<description>Just for the record, Woody is supporting Richard Shelby holding every nominee of Obama&#039;s hostage so that Airbus, a FRENCH corporation, gets military contracts and Boeing is excluded from the bidding process.  That&#039;s right - Woody is supporting a blockade of any and all Obama nominations until the Cheese-Eating-Surrender-Monkeys get their tails in the door with Richard Shelby&#039;s help.  Shocking!  Next he&#039;ll be dipping his pork rinds in foie gras during the SuperBowl and washing them down with Fischer La Belle Alsace.</description>

		<description>reg, I use &lt;i&gt;&quot;France!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to &lt;/i&gt;their capablity to fight.  Maybe an Alabama influence will have a positive impact on them.  

I&#039;m willing to take their investment dollars and jobs.  You on the other hand don&#039;t want foreign investments?</description>

		<description>Woody - are you really too stupid to understand the irony of a little shithead peckerwood who uses &quot;FRANCE!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to analysing healthcare - and engages in the most rank nativist bigotry as a mtter of course - defending Richard Shelby&#039;s petulant insult to this country (not because of FRANCE!!!! but his absurd abuse of the &quot;hold&quot; maneuver) with his porky, self-serving Airbus deal. You can argue this till doomsday, but you can&#039;t help but come out looking like a weasel hoist on your own idiot&#039;s petard.  

Get a life, get out of the gutter and get at least a bit of a sense of humor about the asinine nature of your own fucking bigoted rants if you expect us to suffer those steaming piles of horse-shit you relentlessly drop in these comments.  You&#039;re ridiculous.</description>

		<description>reg, is that you with whom I&#039;m arguing on another site?

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;From article:  &quot;...to help a foreign company.&quot;

Woody:  That statement is completely wrong. It shows a bias and intentional deceit.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Slightly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Slightly? It came from Kos and is only &quot;slightly&quot; deceitful? Shelby is defending his state&#039;s interests, not a foreign company.

-----

&lt;i&gt;Woody: Sen. Shelby is trying to help U.S. taxpayers and workers in his state and is trying to get the Obama government to play fair on the contract.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;True, it is simply a side effect that it will put money in a foreign company&#039;s profits.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Since when has the &quot;foreign company&quot; excluded U.S. shareholders? There will be huge financial gains in our nation through construction, workers, and taxes.

A &quot;side effect&quot; is that Boeing&#039;s monopoly within the U.S. will be challenged with workers from another part of our nation. Of course, Democratic repesentatives have compared Southern workers to Bubbas in a garage and said that they aren&#039;t qualified. But, as we&#039;re seeing, workers in Alabama produce &quot;foreign&quot; cars better than heavy-unionized Detroit produce domestic models.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  The Pentagon originally awarded the contract to build new Air Force tankers to a joint venture with a company in L.A., and the plane is to be built in Mobile, Alabama, where, by the way, U.S. workers live.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Yep.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Might I add, non-union workers.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  That plane is far superior to the one that Boeing proposed. It&#039;s larger, more cost effective, and won&#039;t be delayed like Boeing&#039;s because of problems with Boeing&#039;s plane.

After losing, Boeing went to court and whined to a bunch of weasley, crooked politicians who made the Pentagon throw out the award and rebid it with criteria tailored to Boeing.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;Nope. Boeing filed a compaint that the Airbus wasn&#039;t to the RFP specks, and it worked its way through the courts and won.

Not political, legal.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  I notice that you didn&#039;t dispute the part about Northrup&#039;s plane being the best for the Air Force or that Boeing is having major problems with their plane--not that it should matter to you, as it only involves our military.

As I remember, the court never ruled on this. The Pentagon caved to political pressure before it came to that. THAT is political. Also, political is changing the rules to help Boeing and sharing winning bid details with Boeing but not sharing Boeing bid details with Northrop. This is also part of paying back the unions for their support of Obama. Not political?

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  It&#039;s not Shelby holding things up. Those planes should already be in production. The people responsible for the holds are the ones who don&#039;t mind screwing the taxpayers and moving the awarded bid for their own special interests.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  That&#039;s the dumbest spin I&#039;ve ever seen.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  No, without interference by the Democrats, we would never have come to this point. It&#039;s just like a liberal to think that everyone should roll over to give them what they want and blame others who defend themselves. If the Democrats don&#039;t like it, then they can play fair or keep whining and pointing fingers. But, they delayed the deal, and it hurts our military that they did.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  If they want to cheat, they shouldn&#039;t take offense at anyone who tries to block them in a fair way.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  If you have the slightest evidence that Boeing cheated, again, you could make millions.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Where do I collect my money? Boeing has publicly and deeply lied about their competition and the contract, for which there is ample proof, and heavily lobbied an administration that said that it was going to change that aspect of Washington.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Now, pull your partisan head out of your partisan ass and educate yourself. I just gave you a head start.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Funny, that you noticed with your own buried so deeply. You didn&#039;t educate me. You put in your own spin and conveniently left out important information. Frankly, while it may upset you like Sen. Shelby does, people who don&#039;t support job-killing unions, Obama, and lying Democrats aren&#039;t going away...and, we know more than you do.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Apparently, judging from this site and that commenter, the phrase &quot;pulling your head out of your ass&quot; is a universal response from socialists who really can&#039;t argue with the truth.</description>

		<description>Note - that &quot;rodent&quot; line was NOT directed at Jim R, who I also enjoy screwing with.  But Jim R is not a troll, just a guy who confuses his relatively decent intentions with good policy. Big difference and I apologize to Jim if he thought I was putting him in the same barrel as TrollBoy.  I have deep differences with Jim - I think he clings to simplistic &quot;solutions&quot;, but I don&#039;t hold him in contempt.  I&#039;ll admit to being rude, but it&#039;s not intended as a dismissal. Just &quot;the way I roll&quot; when confronted with what I perceive as nonsense.  I&#039;m sure he gets that by now.</description>

		<description>When one reads some the trollbait nonsense, above, its worth pointing out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goforbroke.org/history/history_historical_veterans_442nd.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the truth&lt;/a&gt; is a fine antidote to asininity:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was “go for broke.” It’s a gambling term that means risking everything on one great effort to win big. The soldiers of the 442nd needed to win big. They were Nisei - American-born sons of Japanese immigrants. They fought two wars: the Germans in Europe and the prejudice in America.

The motto was invented by the high-rolling Nisei soldiers who came from the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaii-born Nisei, also known as “Buddhaheads,” made up about two-thirds of the regiment. The remaining third were Nisei from the mainland. In April 1943, the islanders and mainlanders arrived for training at Camp Shelby, Mississippi. Immediately, they fought with each other because of different perspectives based on where they grew up. 

[...]

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated unit for its size and length of service, in the entire history of the U.S. Military. The 4,000 men who initially came in April 1943 had to be replaced nearly 3.5 times. In total, about 14,000 men served, ultimately earning 9,486 Purple Hearts , 21 Medals of Honor and an unprecedented eight Presidential Unit Citations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Truth to bullshit. The truth wins again.</description>

		<description>Just for the record, Woody is supporting Richard Shelby holding every nominee of Obama&#039;s hostage so that Airbus, a FRENCH corporation, gets military contracts and Boeing is excluded from the bidding process.  That&#039;s right - Woody is supporting a blockade of any and all Obama nominations until the Cheese-Eating-Surrender-Monkeys get their tails in the door with Richard Shelby&#039;s help.  Shocking!  Next he&#039;ll be dipping his pork rinds in foie gras during the SuperBowl and washing them down with Fischer La Belle Alsace.</description>

		<description>reg, I use &lt;i&gt;&quot;France!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to &lt;/i&gt;their capablity to fight.  Maybe an Alabama influence will have a positive impact on them.  

I&#039;m willing to take their investment dollars and jobs.  You on the other hand don&#039;t want foreign investments?</description>

		<description>Woody - are you really too stupid to understand the irony of a little shithead peckerwood who uses &quot;FRANCE!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to analysing healthcare - and engages in the most rank nativist bigotry as a mtter of course - defending Richard Shelby&#039;s petulant insult to this country (not because of FRANCE!!!! but his absurd abuse of the &quot;hold&quot; maneuver) with his porky, self-serving Airbus deal. You can argue this till doomsday, but you can&#039;t help but come out looking like a weasel hoist on your own idiot&#039;s petard.  

Get a life, get out of the gutter and get at least a bit of a sense of humor about the asinine nature of your own fucking bigoted rants if you expect us to suffer those steaming piles of horse-shit you relentlessly drop in these comments.  You&#039;re ridiculous.</description>

		<description>reg, is that you with whom I&#039;m arguing on another site?

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;From article:  &quot;...to help a foreign company.&quot;

Woody:  That statement is completely wrong. It shows a bias and intentional deceit.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Slightly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Slightly? It came from Kos and is only &quot;slightly&quot; deceitful? Shelby is defending his state&#039;s interests, not a foreign company.

-----

&lt;i&gt;Woody: Sen. Shelby is trying to help U.S. taxpayers and workers in his state and is trying to get the Obama government to play fair on the contract.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;True, it is simply a side effect that it will put money in a foreign company&#039;s profits.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Since when has the &quot;foreign company&quot; excluded U.S. shareholders? There will be huge financial gains in our nation through construction, workers, and taxes.

A &quot;side effect&quot; is that Boeing&#039;s monopoly within the U.S. will be challenged with workers from another part of our nation. Of course, Democratic repesentatives have compared Southern workers to Bubbas in a garage and said that they aren&#039;t qualified. But, as we&#039;re seeing, workers in Alabama produce &quot;foreign&quot; cars better than heavy-unionized Detroit produce domestic models.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  The Pentagon originally awarded the contract to build new Air Force tankers to a joint venture with a company in L.A., and the plane is to be built in Mobile, Alabama, where, by the way, U.S. workers live.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Yep.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Might I add, non-union workers.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  That plane is far superior to the one that Boeing proposed. It&#039;s larger, more cost effective, and won&#039;t be delayed like Boeing&#039;s because of problems with Boeing&#039;s plane.

After losing, Boeing went to court and whined to a bunch of weasley, crooked politicians who made the Pentagon throw out the award and rebid it with criteria tailored to Boeing.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;Nope. Boeing filed a compaint that the Airbus wasn&#039;t to the RFP specks, and it worked its way through the courts and won.

Not political, legal.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  I notice that you didn&#039;t dispute the part about Northrup&#039;s plane being the best for the Air Force or that Boeing is having major problems with their plane--not that it should matter to you, as it only involves our military.

As I remember, the court never ruled on this. The Pentagon caved to political pressure before it came to that. THAT is political. Also, political is changing the rules to help Boeing and sharing winning bid details with Boeing but not sharing Boeing bid details with Northrop. This is also part of paying back the unions for their support of Obama. Not political?

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  It&#039;s not Shelby holding things up. Those planes should already be in production. The people responsible for the holds are the ones who don&#039;t mind screwing the taxpayers and moving the awarded bid for their own special interests.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  That&#039;s the dumbest spin I&#039;ve ever seen.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  No, without interference by the Democrats, we would never have come to this point. It&#039;s just like a liberal to think that everyone should roll over to give them what they want and blame others who defend themselves. If the Democrats don&#039;t like it, then they can play fair or keep whining and pointing fingers. But, they delayed the deal, and it hurts our military that they did.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  If they want to cheat, they shouldn&#039;t take offense at anyone who tries to block them in a fair way.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  If you have the slightest evidence that Boeing cheated, again, you could make millions.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Where do I collect my money? Boeing has publicly and deeply lied about their competition and the contract, for which there is ample proof, and heavily lobbied an administration that said that it was going to change that aspect of Washington.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Now, pull your partisan head out of your partisan ass and educate yourself. I just gave you a head start.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Funny, that you noticed with your own buried so deeply. You didn&#039;t educate me. You put in your own spin and conveniently left out important information. Frankly, while it may upset you like Sen. Shelby does, people who don&#039;t support job-killing unions, Obama, and lying Democrats aren&#039;t going away...and, we know more than you do.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Apparently, judging from this site and that commenter, the phrase &quot;pulling your head out of your ass&quot; is a universal response from socialists who really can&#039;t argue with the truth.</description>

		<description>Note - that &quot;rodent&quot; line was NOT directed at Jim R, who I also enjoy screwing with.  But Jim R is not a troll, just a guy who confuses his relatively decent intentions with good policy. Big difference and I apologize to Jim if he thought I was putting him in the same barrel as TrollBoy.  I have deep differences with Jim - I think he clings to simplistic &quot;solutions&quot;, but I don&#039;t hold him in contempt.  I&#039;ll admit to being rude, but it&#039;s not intended as a dismissal. Just &quot;the way I roll&quot; when confronted with what I perceive as nonsense.  I&#039;m sure he gets that by now.</description>

		<description>When one reads some the trollbait nonsense, above, its worth pointing out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goforbroke.org/history/history_historical_veterans_442nd.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the truth&lt;/a&gt; is a fine antidote to asininity:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was “go for broke.” It’s a gambling term that means risking everything on one great effort to win big. The soldiers of the 442nd needed to win big. They were Nisei - American-born sons of Japanese immigrants. They fought two wars: the Germans in Europe and the prejudice in America.

The motto was invented by the high-rolling Nisei soldiers who came from the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaii-born Nisei, also known as “Buddhaheads,” made up about two-thirds of the regiment. The remaining third were Nisei from the mainland. In April 1943, the islanders and mainlanders arrived for training at Camp Shelby, Mississippi. Immediately, they fought with each other because of different perspectives based on where they grew up. 

[...]

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated unit for its size and length of service, in the entire history of the U.S. Military. The 4,000 men who initially came in April 1943 had to be replaced nearly 3.5 times. In total, about 14,000 men served, ultimately earning 9,486 Purple Hearts , 21 Medals of Honor and an unprecedented eight Presidential Unit Citations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Truth to bullshit. The truth wins again.</description>

Immediately, they fought with each other because of different perspectives based on where they grew up. </p>
<p>[...]</p>
<p>The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated unit for its size and length of service, in the entire history of the U.S. Military. The 4,000 men who initially came in April 1943 had to be replaced nearly 3.5 times. In total, about 14,000 men served, ultimately earning 9,486 Purple Hearts , 21 Medals of Honor and an unprecedented eight Presidential Unit Citations.</p></blockquote>
<p>Truth to bullshit. The truth wins again.</p>

		<description>reg, bubba, pace yourself. All signs point to the slavering class clawing and clammering  with more vigor until they fall screeching from the parapets. It will get worse and more surreal before The US turns a corner and pathology will no longer be the norm. 

relax, enjoy, feed stray animals and send money to Haiti. Thats what I am doing.</description>

		<description>Just for the record, Woody is supporting Richard Shelby holding every nominee of Obama&#039;s hostage so that Airbus, a FRENCH corporation, gets military contracts and Boeing is excluded from the bidding process.  That&#039;s right - Woody is supporting a blockade of any and all Obama nominations until the Cheese-Eating-Surrender-Monkeys get their tails in the door with Richard Shelby&#039;s help.  Shocking!  Next he&#039;ll be dipping his pork rinds in foie gras during the SuperBowl and washing them down with Fischer La Belle Alsace.</description>

		<description>Woody - are you really too stupid to understand the irony of a little shithead peckerwood who uses &quot;FRANCE!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to analysing healthcare - and engages in the most rank nativist bigotry as a mtter of course - defending Richard Shelby&#039;s petulant insult to this country (not because of FRANCE!!!! but his absurd abuse of the &quot;hold&quot; maneuver) with his porky, self-serving Airbus deal. You can argue this till doomsday, but you can&#039;t help but come out looking like a weasel hoist on your own idiot&#039;s petard.  

Get a life, get out of the gutter and get at least a bit of a sense of humor about the asinine nature of your own fucking bigoted rants if you expect us to suffer those steaming piles of horse-shit you relentlessly drop in these comments.  You&#039;re ridiculous.</description>

		<description>reg, is that you with whom I&#039;m arguing on another site?

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;From article:  &quot;...to help a foreign company.&quot;

Woody:  That statement is completely wrong. It shows a bias and intentional deceit.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Slightly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Slightly? It came from Kos and is only &quot;slightly&quot; deceitful? Shelby is defending his state&#039;s interests, not a foreign company.

-----

&lt;i&gt;Woody: Sen. Shelby is trying to help U.S. taxpayers and workers in his state and is trying to get the Obama government to play fair on the contract.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;True, it is simply a side effect that it will put money in a foreign company&#039;s profits.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Since when has the &quot;foreign company&quot; excluded U.S. shareholders? There will be huge financial gains in our nation through construction, workers, and taxes.

A &quot;side effect&quot; is that Boeing&#039;s monopoly within the U.S. will be challenged with workers from another part of our nation. Of course, Democratic repesentatives have compared Southern workers to Bubbas in a garage and said that they aren&#039;t qualified. But, as we&#039;re seeing, workers in Alabama produce &quot;foreign&quot; cars better than heavy-unionized Detroit produce domestic models.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  The Pentagon originally awarded the contract to build new Air Force tankers to a joint venture with a company in L.A., and the plane is to be built in Mobile, Alabama, where, by the way, U.S. workers live.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Yep.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Might I add, non-union workers.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  That plane is far superior to the one that Boeing proposed. It&#039;s larger, more cost effective, and won&#039;t be delayed like Boeing&#039;s because of problems with Boeing&#039;s plane.

After losing, Boeing went to court and whined to a bunch of weasley, crooked politicians who made the Pentagon throw out the award and rebid it with criteria tailored to Boeing.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;Nope. Boeing filed a compaint that the Airbus wasn&#039;t to the RFP specks, and it worked its way through the courts and won.

Not political, legal.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  I notice that you didn&#039;t dispute the part about Northrup&#039;s plane being the best for the Air Force or that Boeing is having major problems with their plane--not that it should matter to you, as it only involves our military.

As I remember, the court never ruled on this. The Pentagon caved to political pressure before it came to that. THAT is political. Also, political is changing the rules to help Boeing and sharing winning bid details with Boeing but not sharing Boeing bid details with Northrop. This is also part of paying back the unions for their support of Obama. Not political?

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  It&#039;s not Shelby holding things up. Those planes should already be in production. The people responsible for the holds are the ones who don&#039;t mind screwing the taxpayers and moving the awarded bid for their own special interests.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  That&#039;s the dumbest spin I&#039;ve ever seen.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  No, without interference by the Democrats, we would never have come to this point. It&#039;s just like a liberal to think that everyone should roll over to give them what they want and blame others who defend themselves. If the Democrats don&#039;t like it, then they can play fair or keep whining and pointing fingers. But, they delayed the deal, and it hurts our military that they did.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  If they want to cheat, they shouldn&#039;t take offense at anyone who tries to block them in a fair way.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  If you have the slightest evidence that Boeing cheated, again, you could make millions.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Where do I collect my money? Boeing has publicly and deeply lied about their competition and the contract, for which there is ample proof, and heavily lobbied an administration that said that it was going to change that aspect of Washington.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Now, pull your partisan head out of your partisan ass and educate yourself. I just gave you a head start.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Funny, that you noticed with your own buried so deeply. You didn&#039;t educate me. You put in your own spin and conveniently left out important information. Frankly, while it may upset you like Sen. Shelby does, people who don&#039;t support job-killing unions, Obama, and lying Democrats aren&#039;t going away...and, we know more than you do.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Apparently, judging from this site and that commenter, the phrase &quot;pulling your head out of your ass&quot; is a universal response from socialists who really can&#039;t argue with the truth.</description>

		<description>Note - that &quot;rodent&quot; line was NOT directed at Jim R, who I also enjoy screwing with.  But Jim R is not a troll, just a guy who confuses his relatively decent intentions with good policy. Big difference and I apologize to Jim if he thought I was putting him in the same barrel as TrollBoy.  I have deep differences with Jim - I think he clings to simplistic &quot;solutions&quot;, but I don&#039;t hold him in contempt.  I&#039;ll admit to being rude, but it&#039;s not intended as a dismissal. Just &quot;the way I roll&quot; when confronted with what I perceive as nonsense.  I&#039;m sure he gets that by now.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Note &#8211; that &#8220;rodent&#8221; line was NOT directed at Jim R, who I also enjoy screwing with.  But Jim R is not a troll, just a guy who confuses his relatively decent intentions with good policy. Big difference and I apologize to Jim if he thought I was putting him in the same barrel as TrollBoy.

		<description>When one reads some the trollbait nonsense, above, its worth pointing out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goforbroke.org/history/history_historical_veterans_442nd.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the truth&lt;/a&gt; is a fine antidote to asininity:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was “go for broke.” It’s a gambling term that means risking everything on one great effort to win big. The soldiers of the 442nd needed to win big. They were Nisei - American-born sons of Japanese immigrants. They fought two wars: the Germans in Europe and the prejudice in America.

The motto was invented by the high-rolling Nisei soldiers who came from the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaii-born Nisei, also known as “Buddhaheads,” made up about two-thirds of the regiment. The remaining third were Nisei from the mainland. In April 1943, the islanders and mainlanders arrived for training at Camp Shelby, Mississippi. Immediately, they fought with each other because of different perspectives based on where they grew up. 

[...]

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated unit for its size and length of service, in the entire history of the U.S. Military. The 4,000 men who initially came in April 1943 had to be replaced nearly 3.5 times. In total, about 14,000 men served, ultimately earning 9,486 Purple Hearts , 21 Medals of Honor and an unprecedented eight Presidential Unit Citations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Truth to bullshit. The truth wins again.</description>

		<description>Just for the record, Woody is supporting Richard Shelby holding every nominee of Obama&#039;s hostage so that Airbus, a FRENCH corporation, gets military contracts and Boeing is excluded from the bidding process.  That&#039;s right - Woody is supporting a blockade of any and all Obama nominations until the Cheese-Eating-Surrender-Monkeys get their tails in the door with Richard Shelby&#039;s help.  Shocking!  Next he&#039;ll be dipping his pork rinds in foie gras during the SuperBowl and washing them down with Fischer La Belle Alsace.</description>

		<description>Woody - are you really too stupid to understand the irony of a little shithead peckerwood who uses &quot;FRANCE!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to analysing healthcare - and engages in the most rank nativist bigotry as a mtter of course - defending Richard Shelby&#039;s petulant insult to this country (not because of FRANCE!!!! but his absurd abuse of the &quot;hold&quot; maneuver) with his porky, self-serving Airbus deal. You can argue this till doomsday, but you can&#039;t help but come out looking like a weasel hoist on your own idiot&#039;s petard.  

Get a life, get out of the gutter and get at least a bit of a sense of humor about the asinine nature of your own fucking bigoted rants if you expect us to suffer those steaming piles of horse-shit you relentlessly drop in these comments.  You&#039;re ridiculous.</description>

		<description>reg, is that you with whom I&#039;m arguing on another site?

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;From article:  &quot;...to help a foreign company.&quot;

Woody:  That statement is completely wrong. It shows a bias and intentional deceit.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Slightly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Slightly? It came from Kos and is only &quot;slightly&quot; deceitful? Shelby is defending his state&#039;s interests, not a foreign company.

-----

&lt;i&gt;Woody: Sen. Shelby is trying to help U.S. taxpayers and workers in his state and is trying to get the Obama government to play fair on the contract.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;True, it is simply a side effect that it will put money in a foreign company&#039;s profits.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Since when has the &quot;foreign company&quot; excluded U.S. shareholders? There will be huge financial gains in our nation through construction, workers, and taxes.

A &quot;side effect&quot; is that Boeing&#039;s monopoly within the U.S. will be challenged with workers from another part of our nation. Of course, Democratic repesentatives have compared Southern workers to Bubbas in a garage and said that they aren&#039;t qualified. But, as we&#039;re seeing, workers in Alabama produce &quot;foreign&quot; cars better than heavy-unionized Detroit produce domestic models.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  The Pentagon originally awarded the contract to build new Air Force tankers to a joint venture with a company in L.A., and the plane is to be built in Mobile, Alabama, where, by the way, U.S. workers live.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Yep.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Might I add, non-union workers.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  That plane is far superior to the one that Boeing proposed. It&#039;s larger, more cost effective, and won&#039;t be delayed like Boeing&#039;s because of problems with Boeing&#039;s plane.

After losing, Boeing went to court and whined to a bunch of weasley, crooked politicians who made the Pentagon throw out the award and rebid it with criteria tailored to Boeing.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;Nope. Boeing filed a compaint that the Airbus wasn&#039;t to the RFP specks, and it worked its way through the courts and won.

Not political, legal.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  I notice that you didn&#039;t dispute the part about Northrup&#039;s plane being the best for the Air Force or that Boeing is having major problems with their plane--not that it should matter to you, as it only involves our military.

As I remember, the court never ruled on this. The Pentagon caved to political pressure before it came to that. THAT is political. Also, political is changing the rules to help Boeing and sharing winning bid details with Boeing but not sharing Boeing bid details with Northrop. This is also part of paying back the unions for their support of Obama. Not political?

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  It&#039;s not Shelby holding things up. Those planes should already be in production. The people responsible for the holds are the ones who don&#039;t mind screwing the taxpayers and moving the awarded bid for their own special interests.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  That&#039;s the dumbest spin I&#039;ve ever seen.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  No, without interference by the Democrats, we would never have come to this point. It&#039;s just like a liberal to think that everyone should roll over to give them what they want and blame others who defend themselves. If the Democrats don&#039;t like it, then they can play fair or keep whining and pointing fingers. But, they delayed the deal, and it hurts our military that they did.

Frankly, while it may upset you like Sen. Shelby does, people who don&#039;t support job-killing unions, Obama, and lying Democrats aren&#039;t going away...and, we know more than you do.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Apparently, judging from this site and that commenter, the phrase &quot;pulling your head out of your ass&quot; is a universal response from socialists who really can&#039;t argue with the truth.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>reg, is that you with whom I&#8217;m arguing on another site?</p>
<blockquote><p><i>From article:  &#8220;&#8230;to help a foreign company.&#8221;</p>
<p>Woody:  That statement is completely wrong. It shows a bias and intentional deceit.</p>
<p><b>reg twin:  Slightly.</b></i></p>
<p>Woody:  Slightly? It came from Kos and is only &#8220;slightly&#8221; deceitful? Shelby is defending his state&#8217;s interests, not a foreign company.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p><i>Woody: Sen. Shelby is trying to help U.S. taxpayers and workers in his state and is trying to get the Obama government to play fair on the contract.</p>
<p>reg twin:  <b>True, it is simply a side effect that it will put money in a foreign company&#8217;s profits.</b></i></p>
<p>Woody:  Since when has the &#8220;foreign company&#8221; excluded U.S. shareholders? There will be huge financial gains in our nation through construction, workers, and taxes.</p>
<p>A &#8220;side effect&#8221; is that Boeing&#8217;s monopoly within the U.S. will be challenged with workers from another part of our nation. Of course, Democratic repesentatives have compared Southern workers to Bubbas in a garage and said that they aren&#8217;t qualified. But, as we&#8217;re seeing, workers in Alabama produce &#8220;foreign&#8221; cars better than heavy-unionized Detroit produce domestic models.</p>
<p>- &#8211; -</p>
<p><i>Woody:  The Pentagon originally awarded the contract to build new Air Force tankers to a joint venture with a company in L.A., and the plane is to be built in Mobile, Alabama, where, by the way, U.S. workers live.</p>
<p><b>reg twin:  Yep.</b></i></p>
<p>Woody:  Might I add, non-union workers.</p>
<p>- &#8211; -</p>
<p><i>Woody:  That plane is far superior to the one that Boeing proposed. It&#8217;s larger, more cost effective, and won&#8217;t be delayed like Boeing&#8217;s because of problems with Boeing&#8217;s plane.</p>
<p>After losing, Boeing went to court and whined to a bunch of weasley, crooked politicians who made the Pentagon throw out the award and rebid it with criteria tailored to Boeing.</p>
<p>reg twin:  <b>Nope. Boeing filed a compaint that the Airbus wasn&#8217;t to the RFP specks, and it worked its way through the courts and won.</p>
<p>Not political, legal.</b></i></p>
<p>Woody:  I notice that you didn&#8217;t dispute the part about Northrup&#8217;s plane being the best for the Air Force or that Boeing is having major problems with their plane&#8211;not that it should matter to you, as it only involves our military.</p>
<p>As I remember, the court never ruled on this. The Pentagon caved to political pressure before it came to that. THAT is political. Also, political is changing the rules to help Boeing and sharing winning bid details with Boeing but not sharing Boeing bid details with Northrop. This is also part of paying back the unions for their support of Obama. Not political?</p>
<p>- &#8211; -</p>
<p><i>Woody:  It&#8217;s not Shelby holding things up. Those planes should already be in production. The people responsible for the holds are the ones who don&#8217;t mind screwing the taxpayers and moving the awarded bid for their own special interests.</p>
<p><b>reg twin:  That&#8217;s the dumbest spin I&#8217;ve ever seen.</b></i></p>
<p>Woody:  No, without interference by the Democrats, we would never have come to this point. It&#8217;s just like a liberal to think that everyone should roll over to give them what they want and blame others who defend themselves. If the Democrats don&#8217;t like it, then they can play fair or keep whining and pointing fingers. But, they delayed the deal, and it hurts our military that they did.</p>
<p>- &#8211; -</p>
<p><i>Woody:  If they want to cheat, they shouldn&#8217;t take offense at anyone who tries to block them in a fair way.</p>

		<description>Note - that &quot;rodent&quot; line was NOT directed at Jim R, who I also enjoy screwing with.  But Jim R is not a troll, just a guy who confuses his relatively decent intentions with good policy. Big difference and I apologize to Jim if he thought I was putting him in the same barrel as TrollBoy.  I have deep differences with Jim - I think he clings to simplistic &quot;solutions&quot;, but I don&#039;t hold him in contempt.  I&#039;ll admit to being rude, but it&#039;s not intended as a dismissal. Just &quot;the way I roll&quot; when confronted with what I perceive as nonsense.  I&#039;m sure he gets that by now.</description>

		<description>When one reads some the trollbait nonsense, above, its worth pointing out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goforbroke.org/history/history_historical_veterans_442nd.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the truth&lt;/a&gt; is a fine antidote to asininity:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was “go for broke.” It’s a gambling term that means risking everything on one great effort to win big. The soldiers of the 442nd needed to win big. They were Nisei - American-born sons of Japanese immigrants. They fought two wars: the Germans in Europe and the prejudice in America.

The motto was invented by the high-rolling Nisei soldiers who came from the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaii-born Nisei, also known as “Buddhaheads,” made up about two-thirds of the regiment. The remaining third were Nisei from the mainland. In April 1943, the islanders and mainlanders arrived for training at Camp Shelby, Mississippi. Immediately, they fought with each other because of different perspectives based on where they grew up. 

[...]

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated unit for its size and length of service, in the entire history of the U.S. Military. The 4,000 men who initially came in April 1943 had to be replaced nearly 3.5 times. In total, about 14,000 men served, ultimately earning 9,486 Purple Hearts , 21 Medals of Honor and an unprecedented eight Presidential Unit Citations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Truth to bullshit. The truth wins again.</description>

		<description>Just for the record, Woody is supporting Richard Shelby holding every nominee of Obama&#039;s hostage so that Airbus, a FRENCH corporation, gets military contracts and Boeing is excluded from the bidding process.  That&#039;s right - Woody is supporting a blockade of any and all Obama nominations until the Cheese-Eating-Surrender-Monkeys get their tails in the door with Richard Shelby&#039;s help.  Shocking!  Next he&#039;ll be dipping his pork rinds in foie gras during the SuperBowl and washing them down with Fischer La Belle Alsace.</description>

		<description>Woody - are you really too stupid to understand the irony of a little shithead peckerwood who uses &quot;FRANCE!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to analysing healthcare - and engages in the most rank nativist bigotry as a mtter of course - defending Richard Shelby&#039;s petulant insult to this country (not because of FRANCE!!!! but his absurd abuse of the &quot;hold&quot; maneuver) with his porky, self-serving Airbus deal.

Get a life, get out of the gutter and get at least a bit of a sense of humor about the asinine nature of your own fucking bigoted rants if you expect us to suffer those steaming piles of horse-shit you relentlessly drop in these comments.  You&#039;re ridiculous.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Woody &#8211; are you really too stupid to understand the irony of a little shithead peckerwood who uses &#8220;FRANCE!&#8221; as a term of derision when it comes to analysing healthcare &#8211; and engages in the most rank nativist bigotry as a mtter of course &#8211; defending Richard Shelby&#8217;s petulant insult to this country (not because of FRANCE!!!! but his absurd abuse of the &#8220;hold&#8221; maneuver) with his porky, self-serving Airbus deal.

		<description>reg, is that you with whom I&#039;m arguing on another site?

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;From article:  &quot;...to help a foreign company.&quot;

Woody:  That statement is completely wrong. It shows a bias and intentional deceit.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Slightly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Slightly? It came from Kos and is only &quot;slightly&quot; deceitful? Shelby is defending his state&#039;s interests, not a foreign company.

-----

&lt;i&gt;Woody: Sen. Shelby is trying to help U.S. taxpayers and workers in his state and is trying to get the Obama government to play fair on the contract.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;True, it is simply a side effect that it will put money in a foreign company&#039;s profits.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Since when has the &quot;foreign company&quot; excluded U.S. shareholders? There will be huge financial gains in our nation through construction, workers, and taxes.

A &quot;side effect&quot; is that Boeing&#039;s monopoly within the U.S. will be challenged with workers from another part of our nation. Of course, Democratic repesentatives have compared Southern workers to Bubbas in a garage and said that they aren&#039;t qualified. But, as we&#039;re seeing, workers in Alabama produce &quot;foreign&quot; cars better than heavy-unionized Detroit produce domestic models.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  The Pentagon originally awarded the contract to build new Air Force tankers to a joint venture with a company in L.A., and the plane is to be built in Mobile, Alabama, where, by the way, U.S. workers live.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Yep.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Might I add, non-union workers.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  That plane is far superior to the one that Boeing proposed. It&#039;s larger, more cost effective, and won&#039;t be delayed like Boeing&#039;s because of problems with Boeing&#039;s plane.

After losing, Boeing went to court and whined to a bunch of weasley, crooked politicians who made the Pentagon throw out the award and rebid it with criteria tailored to Boeing.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;Nope. Boeing filed a compaint that the Airbus wasn&#039;t to the RFP specks, and it worked its way through the courts and won.

Not political, legal.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  I notice that you didn&#039;t dispute the part about Northrup&#039;s plane being the best for the Air Force or that Boeing is having major problems with their plane--not that it should matter to you, as it only involves our military.

As I remember, the court never ruled on this. The Pentagon caved to political pressure before it came to that. THAT is political. Also, political is changing the rules to help Boeing and sharing winning bid details with Boeing but not sharing Boeing bid details with Northrop. This is also part of paying back the unions for their support of Obama. Not political?

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  It&#039;s not Shelby holding things up. Those planes should already be in production. The people responsible for the holds are the ones who don&#039;t mind screwing the taxpayers and moving the awarded bid for their own special interests.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  That&#039;s the dumbest spin I&#039;ve ever seen.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  No, without interference by the Democrats, we would never have come to this point. It&#039;s just like a liberal to think that everyone should roll over to give them what they want and blame others who defend themselves. If the Democrats don&#039;t like it, then they can play fair or keep whining and pointing fingers. But, they delayed the deal, and it hurts our military that they did.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  If they want to cheat, they shouldn&#039;t take offense at anyone who tries to block them in a fair way.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  If you have the slightest evidence that Boeing cheated, again, you could make millions.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Where do I collect my money? Boeing has publicly and deeply lied about their competition and the contract, for which there is ample proof, and heavily lobbied an administration that said that it was going to change that aspect of Washington.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Now, pull your partisan head out of your partisan ass and educate yourself. I just gave you a head start.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Funny, that you noticed with your own buried so deeply. You didn&#039;t educate me. You put in your own spin and conveniently left out important information. Frankly, while it may upset you like Sen. Shelby does, people who don&#039;t support job-killing unions, Obama, and lying Democrats aren&#039;t going away...and, we know more than you do.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Apparently, judging from this site and that commenter, the phrase &quot;pulling your head out of your ass&quot; is a universal response from socialists who really can&#039;t argue with the truth.</description>

		<description>Note - that &quot;rodent&quot; line was NOT directed at Jim R, who I also enjoy screwing with.  But Jim R is not a troll, just a guy who confuses his relatively decent intentions with good policy. Big difference and I apologize to Jim if he thought I was putting him in the same barrel as TrollBoy.  I have deep differences with Jim - I think he clings to simplistic &quot;solutions&quot;, but I don&#039;t hold him in contempt.  I&#039;ll admit to being rude, but it&#039;s not intended as a dismissal. Just &quot;the way I roll&quot; when confronted with what I perceive as nonsense.  I&#039;m sure he gets that by now.</description>

		<description>When one reads some the trollbait nonsense, above, its worth pointing out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goforbroke.org/history/history_historical_veterans_442nd.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the truth&lt;/a&gt; is a fine antidote to asininity:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was “go for broke.” It’s a gambling term that means risking everything on one great effort to win big. The soldiers of the 442nd needed to win big. They were Nisei - American-born sons of Japanese immigrants. They fought two wars: the Germans in Europe and the prejudice in America.

The motto was invented by the high-rolling Nisei soldiers who came from the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaii-born Nisei, also known as “Buddhaheads,” made up about two-thirds of the regiment. The remaining third were Nisei from the mainland. In April 1943, the islanders and mainlanders arrived for training at Camp Shelby, Mississippi. Immediately, they fought with each other because of different perspectives based on where they grew up. 

[...]

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated unit for its size and length of service, in the entire history of the U.S. Military. The 4,000 men who initially came in April 1943 had to be replaced nearly 3.5 times. In total, about 14,000 men served, ultimately earning 9,486 Purple Hearts , 21 Medals of Honor and an unprecedented eight Presidential Unit Citations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Truth to bullshit. The truth wins again.</description>

		<description>Just for the record, Woody is supporting Richard Shelby holding every nominee of Obama&#039;s hostage so that Airbus, a FRENCH corporation, gets military contracts and Boeing is excluded from the bidding process.  That&#039;s right - Woody is supporting a blockade of any and all Obama nominations until the Cheese-Eating-Surrender-Monkeys get their tails in the door with Richard Shelby&#039;s help.  Shocking!  Next he&#039;ll be dipping his pork rinds in foie gras during the SuperBowl and washing them down with Fischer La Belle Alsace.</description>

		<description>reg, is that you with whom I&#039;m arguing on another site?

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;From article:  &quot;...to help a foreign company.&quot;

Woody:  That statement is completely wrong. It shows a bias and intentional deceit.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Slightly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Slightly? It came from Kos and is only &quot;slightly&quot; deceitful? Shelby is defending his state&#039;s interests, not a foreign company.

&lt;i&gt;Woody: Sen. Shelby is trying to help U.S. taxpayers and workers in his state and is trying to get the Obama government to play fair on the contract.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;True, it is simply a side effect that it will put money in a foreign company&#039;s profits.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Since when has the &quot;foreign company&quot; excluded U.S. shareholders? There will be huge financial gains in our nation through construction, workers, and taxes.

A &quot;side effect&quot; is that Boeing&#039;s monopoly within the U.S. will be challenged with workers from another part of our nation. Of course, Democratic repesentatives have compared Southern workers to Bubbas in a garage and said that they aren&#039;t qualified. But, as we&#039;re seeing, workers in Alabama produce &quot;foreign&quot; cars better than heavy-unionized Detroit produce domestic models.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  The Pentagon originally awarded the contract to build new Air Force tankers to a joint venture with a company in L.A., and the plane is to be built in Mobile, Alabama, where, by the way, U.S. workers live.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Yep.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Might I add, non-union workers.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  That plane is far superior to the one that Boeing proposed. It&#039;s larger, more cost effective, and won&#039;t be delayed like Boeing&#039;s because of problems with Boeing&#039;s plane.

After losing, Boeing went to court and whined to a bunch of weasley, crooked politicians who made the Pentagon throw out the award and rebid it with criteria tailored to Boeing.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;Nope. Boeing filed a compaint that the Airbus wasn&#039;t to the RFP specks, and it worked its way through the courts and won.

Not political, legal.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  I notice that you didn&#039;t dispute the part about Northrup&#039;s plane being the best for the Air Force or that Boeing is having major problems with their plane--not that it should matter to you, as it only involves our military.

As I remember, the court never ruled on this. The Pentagon caved to political pressure before it came to that. THAT is political. Also, political is changing the rules to help Boeing and sharing winning bid details with Boeing but not sharing Boeing bid details with Northrop. This is also part of paying back the unions for their support of Obama. Not political?

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  It&#039;s not Shelby holding things up. Those planes should already be in production. The people responsible for the holds are the ones who don&#039;t mind screwing the taxpayers and moving the awarded bid for their own special interests.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  That&#039;s the dumbest spin I&#039;ve ever seen.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  No, without interference by the Democrats, we would never have come to this point. It&#039;s just like a liberal to think that everyone should roll over to give them what they want and blame others who defend themselves. If the Democrats don&#039;t like it, then they can play fair or keep whining and pointing fingers. But, they delayed the deal, and it hurts our military that they did.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  If they want to cheat, they shouldn&#039;t take offense at anyone who tries to block them in a fair way.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  If you have the slightest evidence that Boeing cheated, again, you could make millions.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Where do I collect my money? Boeing has publicly and deeply lied about their competition and the contract, for which there is ample proof, and heavily lobbied an administration that said that it was going to change that aspect of Washington.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Now, pull your partisan head out of your partisan ass and educate yourself. I just gave you a head start.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Funny, that you noticed with your own buried so deeply. You didn&#039;t educate me. You put in your own spin and conveniently left out important information. Frankly, while it may upset you like Sen. Shelby does, people who don&#039;t support job-killing unions, Obama, and lying Democrats aren&#039;t going away...and, we know more than you do.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Apparently, judging from this site and that commenter, the phrase &quot;pulling your head out of your ass&quot; is a universal response from socialists who really can&#039;t argue with the truth.</description>

		<description>reg, I use &lt;i&gt;&quot;France!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to &lt;/i&gt;their capablity to fight.  Maybe an Alabama influence will have a positive impact on them.  

I&#039;m willing to take their investment dollars and jobs.  You on the other hand don&#039;t want foreign investments?</description>

		<description>Woody - are you really too stupid to understand the irony of a little shithead peckerwood who uses &quot;FRANCE!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to analysing healthcare - and engages in the most rank nativist bigotry as a mtter of course - defending Richard Shelby&#039;s petulant insult to this country (not because of FRANCE!!!! but his absurd abuse of the &quot;hold&quot; maneuver) with his porky, self-serving Airbus deal. You can argue this till doomsday, but you can&#039;t help but come out looking like a weasel hoist on your own idiot&#039;s petard.  

Get a life, get out of the gutter and get at least a bit of a sense of humor about the asinine nature of your own fucking bigoted rants if you expect us to suffer those steaming piles of horse-shit you relentlessly drop in these comments.  You&#039;re ridiculous.</description>

		<description>reg, is that you with whom I&#039;m arguing on another site?

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;From article:  &quot;...to help a foreign company.&quot;

Woody:  That statement is completely wrong. It shows a bias and intentional deceit.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Slightly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Slightly? It came from Kos and is only &quot;slightly&quot; deceitful? Shelby is defending his state&#039;s interests, not a foreign company.

Woody:  Since when has the &quot;foreign company&quot; excluded U.S. shareholders? There will be huge financial gains in our nation through construction, workers, and taxes.

A &quot;side effect&quot; is that Boeing&#039;s monopoly within the U.S. will be challenged with workers from another part of our nation. Of course, Democratic repesentatives have compared Southern workers to Bubbas in a garage and said that they aren&#039;t qualified.

Frankly, while it may upset you like Sen. Shelby does, people who don&#8217;t support job-killing unions, Obama, and lying Democrats aren&#8217;t going away&#8230;and, we know more than you do.</p></blockquote>
<p>Apparently, judging from this site and that commenter, the phrase &#8220;pulling your head out of your ass&#8221; is a universal response from socialists who really can&#8217;t argue with the truth.</p>

		<description>When one reads some the trollbait nonsense, above, its worth pointing out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goforbroke.org/history/history_historical_veterans_442nd.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the truth&lt;/a&gt; is a fine antidote to asininity:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was “go for broke.” It’s a gambling term that means risking everything on one great effort to win big. The soldiers of the 442nd needed to win big. They were Nisei - American-born sons of Japanese immigrants. They fought two wars: the Germans in Europe and the prejudice in America.

The motto was invented by the high-rolling Nisei soldiers who came from the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaii-born Nisei, also known as “Buddhaheads,” made up about two-thirds of the regiment. The remaining third were Nisei from the mainland. In April 1943, the islanders and mainlanders arrived for training at Camp Shelby, Mississippi. Immediately, they fought with each other because of different perspectives based on where they grew up. 

[...]

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated unit for its size and length of service, in the entire history of the U.S. Military. The 4,000 men who initially came in April 1943 had to be replaced nearly 3.5 times. In total, about 14,000 men served, ultimately earning 9,486 Purple Hearts , 21 Medals of Honor and an unprecedented eight Presidential Unit Citations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Truth to bullshit. The truth wins again.</description>

		<description>Just for the record, Woody is supporting Richard Shelby holding every nominee of Obama&#039;s hostage so that Airbus, a FRENCH corporation, gets military contracts and Boeing is excluded from the bidding process.  That&#039;s right - Woody is supporting a blockade of any and all Obama nominations until the Cheese-Eating-Surrender-Monkeys get their tails in the door with Richard Shelby&#039;s help.  Shocking!  Next he&#039;ll be dipping his pork rinds in foie gras during the SuperBowl and washing them down with Fischer La Belle Alsace.</description>

		<description>Woody - are you really too stupid to understand the irony of a little shithead peckerwood who uses &quot;FRANCE!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to analysing healthcare - and engages in the most rank nativist bigotry as a mtter of course - defending Richard Shelby&#039;s petulant insult to this country (not because of FRANCE!!!! but his absurd abuse of the &quot;hold&quot; maneuver) with his porky, self-serving Airbus deal. You can argue this till doomsday, but you can&#039;t help but come out looking like a weasel hoist on your own idiot&#039;s petard.  

Get a life, get out of the gutter and get at least a bit of a sense of humor about the asinine nature of your own fucking bigoted rants if you expect us to suffer those steaming piles of horse-shit you relentlessly drop in these comments.  You&#039;re ridiculous.</description>

		<description>reg, is that you with whom I&#039;m arguing on another site?

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;From article:  &quot;...to help a foreign company.&quot;

Woody:  That statement is completely wrong. It shows a bias and intentional deceit.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Slightly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Slightly? It came from Kos and is only &quot;slightly&quot; deceitful? Shelby is defending his state&#039;s interests, not a foreign company.

-----

&lt;i&gt;Woody: Sen. Shelby is trying to help U.S. taxpayers and workers in his state and is trying to get the Obama government to play fair on the contract.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;True, it is simply a side effect that it will put money in a foreign company&#039;s profits.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Since when has the &quot;foreign company&quot; excluded U.S. shareholders? There will be huge financial gains in our nation through construction, workers, and taxes.

A &quot;side effect&quot; is that Boeing&#039;s monopoly within the U.S. will be challenged with workers from another part of our nation. Of course, Democratic repesentatives have compared Southern workers to Bubbas in a garage and said that they aren&#039;t qualified. But, as we&#039;re seeing, workers in Alabama produce &quot;foreign&quot; cars better than heavy-unionized Detroit produce domestic models.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  The Pentagon originally awarded the contract to build new Air Force tankers to a joint venture with a company in L.A., and the plane is to be built in Mobile, Alabama, where, by the way, U.S. workers live.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Yep.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Might I add, non-union workers.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  That plane is far superior to the one that Boeing proposed. It&#039;s larger, more cost effective, and won&#039;t be delayed like Boeing&#039;s because of problems with Boeing&#039;s plane.

After losing, Boeing went to court and whined to a bunch of weasley, crooked politicians who made the Pentagon throw out the award and rebid it with criteria tailored to Boeing.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;Nope. Boeing filed a compaint that the Airbus wasn&#039;t to the RFP specks, and it worked its way through the courts and won.

Not political, legal.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  I notice that you didn&#039;t dispute the part about Northrup&#039;s plane being the best for the Air Force or that Boeing is having major problems with their plane--not that it should matter to you, as it only involves our military.

As I remember, the court never ruled on this. The Pentagon caved to political pressure before it came to that. THAT is political. Also, political is changing the rules to help Boeing and sharing winning bid details with Boeing but not sharing Boeing bid details with Northrop. This is also part of paying back the unions for their support of Obama. Not political?

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  It&#039;s not Shelby holding things up. Those planes should already be in production. The people responsible for the holds are the ones who don&#039;t mind screwing the taxpayers and moving the awarded bid for their own special interests.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  That&#039;s the dumbest spin I&#039;ve ever seen.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  No, without interference by the Democrats, we would never have come to this point. It&#039;s just like a liberal to think that everyone should roll over to give them what they want and blame others who defend themselves. If the Democrats don&#039;t like it, then they can play fair or keep whining and pointing fingers. But, they delayed the deal, and it hurts our military that they did.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  If they want to cheat, they shouldn&#039;t take offense at anyone who tries to block them in a fair way.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  If you have the slightest evidence that Boeing cheated, again, you could make millions.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Where do I collect my money? Boeing has publicly and deeply lied about their competition and the contract, for which there is ample proof, and heavily lobbied an administration that said that it was going to change that aspect of Washington.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Now, pull your partisan head out of your partisan ass and educate yourself. I just gave you a head start.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Funny, that you noticed with your own buried so deeply. You didn&#039;t educate me. You put in your own spin and conveniently left out important information. Frankly, while it may upset you like Sen. Shelby does, people who don&#039;t support job-killing unions, Obama, and lying Democrats aren&#039;t going away...and, we know more than you do.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Apparently, judging from this site and that commenter, the phrase &quot;pulling your head out of your ass&quot; is a universal response from socialists who really can&#039;t argue with the truth.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>reg, is that you with whom I&#8217;m arguing on another site?</p>
<blockquote><p><i>From article:  &#8220;&#8230;to help a foreign company.&#8221;</p>
<p>Woody:  That statement is completely wrong. It shows a bias and intentional deceit.</p>
<p><b>reg twin:  Slightly.</b></i></p>
<p>Woody:  Slightly? It came from Kos and is only &#8220;slightly&#8221; deceitful? Shelby is defending his state&#8217;s interests, not a foreign company.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p><i>Woody: Sen. Shelby is trying to help U.S. taxpayers and workers in his state and is trying to get the Obama government to play fair on the contract.</p>
<p>reg twin:  <b>True, it is simply a side effect that it will put money in a foreign company&#8217;s profits.</b></i></p>
<p>Woody:  Since when has the &#8220;foreign company&#8221; excluded U.S. shareholders? There will be huge financial gains in our nation through construction, workers, and taxes.</p>
<p>A &#8220;side effect&#8221; is that Boeing&#8217;s monopoly within the U.S. will be challenged with workers from another part of our nation. Of course, Democratic repesentatives have compared Southern workers to Bubbas in a garage and said that they aren&#8217;t qualified. But, as we&#8217;re seeing, workers in Alabama produce &#8220;foreign&#8221; cars better than heavy-unionized Detroit produce domestic models.</p>
<p>- &#8211; -</p>
<p><i>Woody:  The Pentagon originally awarded the contract to build new Air Force tankers to a joint venture with a company in L.A., and the plane is to be built in Mobile, Alabama, where, by the way, U.S. workers live.</p>
<p><b>reg twin:  Yep.</b></i></p>
<p>Woody:  Might I add, non-union workers.</p>
<p>- &#8211; -</p>
<p><i>Woody:  That plane is far superior to the one that Boeing proposed. It&#8217;s larger, more cost effective, and won&#8217;t be delayed like Boeing&#8217;s because of problems with Boeing&#8217;s plane.</p>
<p>After losing, Boeing went to court and whined to a bunch of weasley, crooked politicians who made the Pentagon throw out the award and rebid it with criteria tailored to Boeing.</p>
<p>reg twin:  <b>Nope. Boeing filed a compaint that the Airbus wasn&#8217;t to the RFP specks, and it worked its way through the courts and won.</p>
<p>Not political, legal.</b></i></p>
<p>Woody:  I notice that you didn&#8217;t dispute the part about Northrup&#8217;s plane being the best for the Air Force or that Boeing is having major problems with their plane&#8211;not that it should matter to you, as it only involves our military.</p>

		<description>Note - that &quot;rodent&quot; line was NOT directed at Jim R, who I also enjoy screwing with.  But Jim R is not a troll, just a guy who confuses his relatively decent intentions with good policy. Big difference and I apologize to Jim if he thought I was putting him in the same barrel as TrollBoy.  I have deep differences with Jim - I think he clings to simplistic &quot;solutions&quot;, but I don&#039;t hold him in contempt.  I&#039;ll admit to being rude, but it&#039;s not intended as a dismissal. Just &quot;the way I roll&quot; when confronted with what I perceive as nonsense.  I&#039;m sure he gets that by now.</description>

		<description>When one reads some the trollbait nonsense, above, its worth pointing out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goforbroke.org/history/history_historical_veterans_442nd.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the truth&lt;/a&gt; is a fine antidote to asininity:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was “go for broke.” It’s a gambling term that means risking everything on one great effort to win big. The soldiers of the 442nd needed to win big. They were Nisei - American-born sons of Japanese immigrants. They fought two wars: the Germans in Europe and the prejudice in America.

The motto was invented by the high-rolling Nisei soldiers who came from the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaii-born Nisei, also known as “Buddhaheads,” made up about two-thirds of the regiment. The remaining third were Nisei from the mainland. In April 1943, the islanders and mainlanders arrived for training at Camp Shelby, Mississippi. Immediately, they fought with each other because of different perspectives based on where they grew up. 

[...]

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated unit for its size and length of service, in the entire history of the U.S. Military. The 4,000 men who initially came in April 1943 had to be replaced nearly 3.5 times. In total, about 14,000 men served, ultimately earning 9,486 Purple Hearts , 21 Medals of Honor and an unprecedented eight Presidential Unit Citations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Truth to bullshit. The truth wins again.</description>

		<description>Just for the record, Woody is supporting Richard Shelby holding every nominee of Obama&#039;s hostage so that Airbus, a FRENCH corporation, gets military contracts and Boeing is excluded from the bidding process.  That&#039;s right - Woody is supporting a blockade of any and all Obama nominations until the Cheese-Eating-Surrender-Monkeys get their tails in the door with Richard Shelby&#039;s help.  Shocking!  Next he&#039;ll be dipping his pork rinds in foie gras during the SuperBowl and washing them down with Fischer La Belle Alsace.</description>

		<description>Woody - are you really too stupid to understand the irony of a little shithead peckerwood who uses &quot;FRANCE!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to analysing healthcare - and engages in the most rank nativist bigotry as a mtter of course - defending Richard Shelby&#039;s petulant insult to this country (not because of FRANCE!!!! but his absurd abuse of the &quot;hold&quot; maneuver) with his porky, self-serving Airbus deal. You can argue this till doomsday, but you can&#039;t help but come out looking like a weasel hoist on your own idiot&#039;s petard.  

Get a life, get out of the gutter and get at least a bit of a sense of humor about the asinine nature of your own fucking bigoted rants if you expect us to suffer those steaming piles of horse-shit you relentlessly drop in these comments.  You&#039;re ridiculous.</description>

		<description>reg, is that you with whom I&#039;m arguing on another site?

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;From article:  &quot;...to help a foreign company.&quot;

Woody:  That statement is completely wrong. It shows a bias and intentional deceit.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Slightly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Slightly? It came from Kos and is only &quot;slightly&quot; deceitful? Shelby is defending his state&#039;s interests, not a foreign company.

-----

&lt;i&gt;Woody: Sen. Shelby is trying to help U.S. taxpayers and workers in his state and is trying to get the Obama government to play fair on the contract.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;True, it is simply a side effect that it will put money in a foreign company&#039;s profits.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Since when has the &quot;foreign company&quot; excluded U.S. shareholders? There will be huge financial gains in our nation through construction, workers, and taxes.

A &quot;side effect&quot; is that Boeing&#039;s monopoly within the U.S. will be challenged with workers from another part of our nation. Of course, Democratic repesentatives have compared Southern workers to Bubbas in a garage and said that they aren&#039;t qualified. But, as we&#039;re seeing, workers in Alabama produce &quot;foreign&quot; cars better than heavy-unionized Detroit produce domestic models.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  The Pentagon originally awarded the contract to build new Air Force tankers to a joint venture with a company in L.A., and the plane is to be built in Mobile, Alabama, where, by the way, U.S. workers live.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Yep.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Might I add, non-union workers.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  That plane is far superior to the one that Boeing proposed. It&#039;s larger, more cost effective, and won&#039;t be delayed like Boeing&#039;s because of problems with Boeing&#039;s plane.

After losing, Boeing went to court and whined to a bunch of weasley, crooked politicians who made the Pentagon throw out the award and rebid it with criteria tailored to Boeing.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;Nope. Boeing filed a compaint that the Airbus wasn&#039;t to the RFP specks, and it worked its way through the courts and won.

Not political, legal.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  I notice that you didn&#039;t dispute the part about Northrup&#039;s plane being the best for the Air Force or that Boeing is having major problems with their plane--not that it should matter to you, as it only involves our military.

As I remember, the court never ruled on this. The Pentagon caved to political pressure before it came to that. THAT is political. Also, political is changing the rules to help Boeing and sharing winning bid details with Boeing but not sharing Boeing bid details with Northrop. This is also part of paying back the unions for their support of Obama. Not political?

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  It&#039;s not Shelby holding things up. Those planes should already be in production. The people responsible for the holds are the ones who don&#039;t mind screwing the taxpayers and moving the awarded bid for their own special interests.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  That&#039;s the dumbest spin I&#039;ve ever seen.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  No, without interference by the Democrats, we would never have come to this point. It&#039;s just like a liberal to think that everyone should roll over to give them what they want and blame others who defend themselves. If the Democrats don&#039;t like it, then they can play fair or keep whining and pointing fingers. But, they delayed the deal, and it hurts our military that they did.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  If they want to cheat, they shouldn&#039;t take offense at anyone who tries to block them in a fair way.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  If you have the slightest evidence that Boeing cheated, again, you could make millions.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Where do I collect my money? Boeing has publicly and deeply lied about their competition and the contract, for which there is ample proof, and heavily lobbied an administration that said that it was going to change that aspect of Washington.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Now, pull your partisan head out of your partisan ass and educate yourself. I just gave you a head start.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Funny, that you noticed with your own buried so deeply. You didn&#039;t educate me. You put in your own spin and conveniently left out important information. Frankly, while it may upset you like Sen. Shelby does, people who don&#039;t support job-killing unions, Obama, and lying Democrats aren&#039;t going away...and, we know more than you do.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Apparently, judging from this site and that commenter, the phrase &quot;pulling your head out of your ass&quot; is a universal response from socialists who really can&#039;t argue with the truth.</description>

		<description>Note - that &quot;rodent&quot; line was NOT directed at Jim R, who I also enjoy screwing with.  But Jim R is not a troll, just a guy who confuses his relatively decent intentions with good policy. Big difference and I apologize to Jim if he thought I was putting him in the same barrel as TrollBoy.  I have deep differences with Jim - I think he clings to simplistic &quot;solutions&quot;, but I don&#039;t hold him in contempt.  I&#039;ll admit to being rude, but it&#039;s not intended as a dismissal. Just &quot;the way I roll&quot; when confronted with what I perceive as nonsense.  I&#039;m sure he gets that by now.</description>

		<description>When one reads some the trollbait nonsense, above, its worth pointing out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goforbroke.org/history/history_historical_veterans_442nd.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the truth&lt;/a&gt; is a fine antidote to asininity:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was “go for broke.” It’s a gambling term that means risking everything on one great effort to win big. The soldiers of the 442nd needed to win big. They were Nisei - American-born sons of Japanese immigrants. They fought two wars: the Germans in Europe and the prejudice in America.

The motto was invented by the high-rolling Nisei soldiers who came from the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaii-born Nisei, also known as “Buddhaheads,” made up about two-thirds of the regiment. The remaining third were Nisei from the mainland. In April 1943, the islanders and mainlanders arrived for training at Camp Shelby, Mississippi. Immediately, they fought with each other because of different perspectives based on where they grew up. 

[...]

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated unit for its size and length of service, in the entire history of the U.S. Military. The 4,000 men who initially came in April 1943 had to be replaced nearly 3.5 times. In total, about 14,000 men served, ultimately earning 9,486 Purple Hearts , 21 Medals of Honor and an unprecedented eight Presidential Unit Citations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Truth to bullshit. The truth wins again.</description>

		<description>Just for the record, Woody is supporting Richard Shelby holding every nominee of Obama&#039;s hostage so that Airbus, a FRENCH corporation, gets military contracts and Boeing is excluded from the bidding process.  That&#039;s right - Woody is supporting a blockade of any and all Obama nominations until the Cheese-Eating-Surrender-Monkeys get their tails in the door with Richard Shelby&#039;s help.  Shocking!  Next he&#039;ll be dipping his pork rinds in foie gras during the SuperBowl and washing them down with Fischer La Belle Alsace.</description>

		<description>reg, I use &lt;i&gt;&quot;France!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to &lt;/i&gt;their capablity to fight.  Maybe an Alabama influence will have a positive impact on them.  

I&#039;m willing to take their investment dollars and jobs.  You on the other hand don&#039;t want foreign investments?</description>

		<description>Woody - are you really too stupid to understand the irony of a little shithead peckerwood who uses &quot;FRANCE!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to analysing healthcare - and engages in the most rank nativist bigotry as a mtter of course - defending Richard Shelby&#039;s petulant insult to this country (not because of FRANCE!!!! but his absurd abuse of the &quot;hold&quot; maneuver) with his porky, self-serving Airbus deal. You can argue this till doomsday, but you can&#039;t help but come out looking like a weasel hoist on your own idiot&#039;s petard.  

Get a life, get out of the gutter and get at least a bit of a sense of humor about the asinine nature of your own fucking bigoted rants if you expect us to suffer those steaming piles of horse-shit you relentlessly drop in these comments.  You&#039;re ridiculous.</description>

		<description>reg, is that you with whom I&#039;m arguing on another site?

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;From article:  &quot;...to help a foreign company.&quot;

Woody:  That statement is completely wrong. It shows a bias and intentional deceit.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Slightly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Slightly? It came from Kos and is only &quot;slightly&quot; deceitful? Shelby is defending his state&#039;s interests, not a foreign company.

-----

&lt;i&gt;Woody: Sen. Shelby is trying to help U.S. taxpayers and workers in his state and is trying to get the Obama government to play fair on the contract.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;True, it is simply a side effect that it will put money in a foreign company&#039;s profits.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Since when has the &quot;foreign company&quot; excluded U.S. shareholders? There will be huge financial gains in our nation through construction, workers, and taxes.

A &quot;side effect&quot; is that Boeing&#039;s monopoly within the U.S. will be challenged with workers from another part of our nation. Of course, Democratic repesentatives have compared Southern workers to Bubbas in a garage and said that they aren&#039;t qualified. But, as we&#039;re seeing, workers in Alabama produce &quot;foreign&quot; cars better than heavy-unionized Detroit produce domestic models.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  The Pentagon originally awarded the contract to build new Air Force tankers to a joint venture with a company in L.A., and the plane is to be built in Mobile, Alabama, where, by the way, U.S. workers live.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Yep.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Might I add, non-union workers.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  That plane is far superior to the one that Boeing proposed. It&#039;s larger, more cost effective, and won&#039;t be delayed like Boeing&#039;s because of problems with Boeing&#039;s plane.

After losing, Boeing went to court and whined to a bunch of weasley, crooked politicians who made the Pentagon throw out the award and rebid it with criteria tailored to Boeing.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;Nope. Boeing filed a compaint that the Airbus wasn&#039;t to the RFP specks, and it worked its way through the courts and won.

Not political, legal.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  I notice that you didn&#039;t dispute the part about Northrup&#039;s plane being the best for the Air Force or that Boeing is having major problems with their plane--not that it should matter to you, as it only involves our military.

As I remember, the court never ruled on this. The Pentagon caved to political pressure before it came to that. THAT is political. Also, political is changing the rules to help Boeing and sharing winning bid details with Boeing but not sharing Boeing bid details with Northrop. This is also part of paying back the unions for their support of Obama. Not political?

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  It&#039;s not Shelby holding things up. Those planes should already be in production. The people responsible for the holds are the ones who don&#039;t mind screwing the taxpayers and moving the awarded bid for their own special interests.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  That&#039;s the dumbest spin I&#039;ve ever seen.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  No, without interference by the Democrats, we would never have come to this point. It&#039;s just like a liberal to think that everyone should roll over to give them what they want and blame others who defend themselves. If the Democrats don&#039;t like it, then they can play fair or keep whining and pointing fingers. But, they delayed the deal, and it hurts our military that they did.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  If they want to cheat, they shouldn&#039;t take offense at anyone who tries to block them in a fair way.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  If you have the slightest evidence that Boeing cheated, again, you could make millions.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Where do I collect my money? Boeing has publicly and deeply lied about their competition and the contract, for which there is ample proof, and heavily lobbied an administration that said that it was going to change that aspect of Washington.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Now, pull your partisan head out of your partisan ass and educate yourself. I just gave you a head start.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Funny, that you noticed with your own buried so deeply. You didn&#039;t educate me. You put in your own spin and conveniently left out important information. Frankly, while it may upset you like Sen. Shelby does, people who don&#039;t support job-killing unions, Obama, and lying Democrats aren&#039;t going away...and, we know more than you do.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Apparently, judging from this site and that commenter, the phrase &quot;pulling your head out of your ass&quot; is a universal response from socialists who really can&#039;t argue with the truth.</description>

		<description>Note - that &quot;rodent&quot; line was NOT directed at Jim R, who I also enjoy screwing with.  But Jim R is not a troll, just a guy who confuses his relatively decent intentions with good policy. Big difference and I apologize to Jim if he thought I was putting him in the same barrel as TrollBoy.  I have deep differences with Jim - I think he clings to simplistic &quot;solutions&quot;, but I don&#039;t hold him in contempt.  I&#039;ll admit to being rude, but it&#039;s not intended as a dismissal. Just &quot;the way I roll&quot; when confronted with what I perceive as nonsense.  I&#039;m sure he gets that by now.</description>

		<description>When one reads some the trollbait nonsense, above, its worth pointing out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goforbroke.org/history/history_historical_veterans_442nd.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the truth&lt;/a&gt; is a fine antidote to asininity:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was “go for broke.” It’s a gambling term that means risking everything on one great effort to win big. The soldiers of the 442nd needed to win big. They were Nisei - American-born sons of Japanese immigrants. They fought two wars: the Germans in Europe and the prejudice in America.

The motto was invented by the high-rolling Nisei soldiers who came from the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaii-born Nisei, also known as “Buddhaheads,” made up about two-thirds of the regiment. The remaining third were Nisei from the mainland. In April 1943, the islanders and mainlanders arrived for training at Camp Shelby, Mississippi. Immediately, they fought with each other because of different perspectives based on where they grew up. 

[...]

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated unit for its size and length of service, in the entire history of the U.S. Military. The 4,000 men who initially came in April 1943 had to be replaced nearly 3.5 times. In total, about 14,000 men served, ultimately earning 9,486 Purple Hearts , 21 Medals of Honor and an unprecedented eight Presidential Unit Citations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Truth to bullshit. The truth wins again.</description>

		<description>reg, bubba, pace yourself. All signs point to the slavering class clawing and clammering  with more vigor until they fall screeching from the parapets. It will get worse and more surreal before The US turns a corner and pathology will no longer be the norm. 

relax, enjoy, feed stray animals and send money to Haiti. Thats what I am doing.</description>

		<description>Just for the record, Woody is supporting Richard Shelby holding every nominee of Obama&#039;s hostage so that Airbus, a FRENCH corporation, gets military contracts and Boeing is excluded from the bidding process.  That&#039;s right - Woody is supporting a blockade of any and all Obama nominations until the Cheese-Eating-Surrender-Monkeys get their tails in the door with Richard Shelby&#039;s help.  Shocking!  Next he&#039;ll be dipping his pork rinds in foie gras during the SuperBowl and washing them down with Fischer La Belle Alsace.</description>

I&#039;m willing to take their investment dollars and jobs.  You on the other hand don&#039;t want foreign investments?</description>

		<description>Woody - are you really too stupid to understand the irony of a little shithead peckerwood who uses &quot;FRANCE!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to analysing healthcare - and engages in the most rank nativist bigotry as a mtter of course - defending Richard Shelby&#039;s petulant insult to this country (not because of FRANCE!!!! but his absurd abuse of the &quot;hold&quot; maneuver) with his porky, self-serving Airbus deal. You can argue this till doomsday, but you can&#039;t help but come out looking like a weasel hoist on your own idiot&#039;s petard.  

Get a life, get out of the gutter and get at least a bit of a sense of humor about the asinine nature of your own fucking bigoted rants if you expect us to suffer those steaming piles of horse-shit you relentlessly drop in these comments.  You&#039;re ridiculous.</description>

		<description>reg, is that you with whom I&#039;m arguing on another site?

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;From article:  &quot;...to help a foreign company.&quot;

Woody:  That statement is completely wrong. It shows a bias and intentional deceit.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Slightly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Slightly? It came from Kos and is only &quot;slightly&quot; deceitful? Shelby is defending his state&#039;s interests, not a foreign company.

-----

&lt;i&gt;Woody: Sen. Shelby is trying to help U.S. taxpayers and workers in his state and is trying to get the Obama government to play fair on the contract.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;True, it is simply a side effect that it will put money in a foreign company&#039;s profits.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Since when has the &quot;foreign company&quot; excluded U.S. shareholders? There will be huge financial gains in our nation through construction, workers, and taxes.

A &quot;side effect&quot; is that Boeing&#039;s monopoly within the U.S. will be challenged with workers from another part of our nation. Of course, Democratic repesentatives have compared Southern workers to Bubbas in a garage and said that they aren&#039;t qualified. But, as we&#039;re seeing, workers in Alabama produce &quot;foreign&quot; cars better than heavy-unionized Detroit produce domestic models.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  The Pentagon originally awarded the contract to build new Air Force tankers to a joint venture with a company in L.A., and the plane is to be built in Mobile, Alabama, where, by the way, U.S. workers live.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Yep.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Might I add, non-union workers.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  That plane is far superior to the one that Boeing proposed. It&#039;s larger, more cost effective, and won&#039;t be delayed like Boeing&#039;s because of problems with Boeing&#039;s plane.

After losing, Boeing went to court and whined to a bunch of weasley, crooked politicians who made the Pentagon throw out the award and rebid it with criteria tailored to Boeing.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;Nope. Boeing filed a compaint that the Airbus wasn&#039;t to the RFP specks, and it worked its way through the courts and won.

Not political, legal.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  I notice that you didn&#039;t dispute the part about Northrup&#039;s plane being the best for the Air Force or that Boeing is having major problems with their plane--not that it should matter to you, as it only involves our military.

As I remember, the court never ruled on this. The Pentagon caved to political pressure before it came to that. THAT is political. Also, political is changing the rules to help Boeing and sharing winning bid details with Boeing but not sharing Boeing bid details with Northrop. This is also part of paying back the unions for their support of Obama. Not political?

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  It&#039;s not Shelby holding things up. Those planes should already be in production. The people responsible for the holds are the ones who don&#039;t mind screwing the taxpayers and moving the awarded bid for their own special interests.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  That&#039;s the dumbest spin I&#039;ve ever seen.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  No, without interference by the Democrats, we would never have come to this point. It&#039;s just like a liberal to think that everyone should roll over to give them what they want and blame others who defend themselves. If the Democrats don&#039;t like it, then they can play fair or keep whining and pointing fingers. But, they delayed the deal, and it hurts our military that they did.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  If they want to cheat, they shouldn&#039;t take offense at anyone who tries to block them in a fair way.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  If you have the slightest evidence that Boeing cheated, again, you could make millions.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Where do I collect my money? Boeing has publicly and deeply lied about their competition and the contract, for which there is ample proof, and heavily lobbied an administration that said that it was going to change that aspect of Washington.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Now, pull your partisan head out of your partisan ass and educate yourself. I just gave you a head start.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Funny, that you noticed with your own buried so deeply. You didn&#039;t educate me. You put in your own spin and conveniently left out important information. Frankly, while it may upset you like Sen. Shelby does, people who don&#039;t support job-killing unions, Obama, and lying Democrats aren&#039;t going away...and, we know more than you do.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Apparently, judging from this site and that commenter, the phrase &quot;pulling your head out of your ass&quot; is a universal response from socialists who really can&#039;t argue with the truth.</description>

		<description>Note - that &quot;rodent&quot; line was NOT directed at Jim R, who I also enjoy screwing with.  But Jim R is not a troll, just a guy who confuses his relatively decent intentions with good policy. Big difference and I apologize to Jim if he thought I was putting him in the same barrel as TrollBoy.  I have deep differences with Jim - I think he clings to simplistic &quot;solutions&quot;, but I don&#039;t hold him in contempt.  I&#039;ll admit to being rude, but it&#039;s not intended as a dismissal. Just &quot;the way I roll&quot; when confronted with what I perceive as nonsense.  I&#039;m sure he gets that by now.</description>

		<description>When one reads some the trollbait nonsense, above, its worth pointing out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goforbroke.org/history/history_historical_veterans_442nd.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the truth&lt;/a&gt; is a fine antidote to asininity:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was “go for broke.” It’s a gambling term that means risking everything on one great effort to win big. The soldiers of the 442nd needed to win big. They were Nisei - American-born sons of Japanese immigrants. They fought two wars: the Germans in Europe and the prejudice in America.

The motto was invented by the high-rolling Nisei soldiers who came from the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaii-born Nisei, also known as “Buddhaheads,” made up about two-thirds of the regiment. The remaining third were Nisei from the mainland. In April 1943, the islanders and mainlanders arrived for training at Camp Shelby, Mississippi. Immediately, they fought with each other because of different perspectives based on where they grew up. 

[...]

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated unit for its size and length of service, in the entire history of the U.S. Military. The 4,000 men who initially came in April 1943 had to be replaced nearly 3.5 times. In total, about 14,000 men served, ultimately earning 9,486 Purple Hearts , 21 Medals of Honor and an unprecedented eight Presidential Unit Citations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>Just for the record, Woody is supporting Richard Shelby holding every nominee of Obama&#039;s hostage so that Airbus, a FRENCH corporation, gets military contracts and Boeing is excluded from the bidding process.  That&#039;s right - Woody is supporting a blockade of any and all Obama nominations until the Cheese-Eating-Surrender-Monkeys get their tails in the door with Richard Shelby&#039;s help.  Shocking!  Next he&#039;ll be dipping his pork rinds in foie gras during the SuperBowl and washing them down with Fischer La Belle Alsace.</description>

		<description>Woody - are you really too stupid to understand the irony of a little shithead peckerwood who uses &quot;FRANCE!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to analysing healthcare - and engages in the most rank nativist bigotry as a mtter of course - defending Richard Shelby&#039;s petulant insult to this country (not because of FRANCE!!!! but his absurd abuse of the &quot;hold&quot; maneuver) with his porky, self-serving Airbus deal. You can argue this till doomsday, but you can&#039;t help but come out looking like a weasel hoist on your own idiot&#039;s petard.  

Get a life, get out of the gutter and get at least a bit of a sense of humor about the asinine nature of your own fucking bigoted rants if you expect us to suffer those steaming piles of horse-shit you relentlessly drop in these comments.  You&#039;re ridiculous.</description>

		<description>reg, is that you with whom I&#039;m arguing on another site?

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;From article:  &quot;...to help a foreign company.&quot;

Woody:  That statement is completely wrong. It shows a bias and intentional deceit.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Slightly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Slightly? It came from Kos and is only &quot;slightly&quot; deceitful? Shelby is defending his state&#039;s interests, not a foreign company.

-----

&lt;i&gt;Woody: Sen. Shelby is trying to help U.S. taxpayers and workers in his state and is trying to get the Obama government to play fair on the contract.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;True, it is simply a side effect that it will put money in a foreign company&#039;s profits.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Since when has the &quot;foreign company&quot; excluded U.S. shareholders? There will be huge financial gains in our nation through construction, workers, and taxes.

A &quot;side effect&quot; is that Boeing&#039;s monopoly within the U.S. will be challenged with workers from another part of our nation. Of course, Democratic repesentatives have compared Southern workers to Bubbas in a garage and said that they aren&#039;t qualified. But, as we&#039;re seeing, workers in Alabama produce &quot;foreign&quot; cars better than heavy-unionized Detroit produce domestic models.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  The Pentagon originally awarded the contract to build new Air Force tankers to a joint venture with a company in L.A., and the plane is to be built in Mobile, Alabama, where, by the way, U.S. workers live.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Yep.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Might I add, non-union workers.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  That plane is far superior to the one that Boeing proposed. It&#039;s larger, more cost effective, and won&#039;t be delayed like Boeing&#039;s because of problems with Boeing&#039;s plane.

After losing, Boeing went to court and whined to a bunch of weasley, crooked politicians who made the Pentagon throw out the award and rebid it with criteria tailored to Boeing.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;Nope. Boeing filed a compaint that the Airbus wasn&#039;t to the RFP specks, and it worked its way through the courts and won.

Not political, legal.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  I notice that you didn&#039;t dispute the part about Northrup&#039;s plane being the best for the Air Force or that Boeing is having major problems with their plane--not that it should matter to you, as it only involves our military.

As I remember, the court never ruled on this. The Pentagon caved to political pressure before it came to that. THAT is political. Also, political is changing the rules to help Boeing and sharing winning bid details with Boeing but not sharing Boeing bid details with Northrop. This is also part of paying back the unions for their support of Obama. Not political?

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  It&#039;s not Shelby holding things up. Those planes should already be in production. The people responsible for the holds are the ones who don&#039;t mind screwing the taxpayers and moving the awarded bid for their own special interests.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  That&#039;s the dumbest spin I&#039;ve ever seen.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  No, without interference by the Democrats, we would never have come to this point. It&#039;s just like a liberal to think that everyone should roll over to give them what they want and blame others who defend themselves. If the Democrats don&#039;t like it, then they can play fair or keep whining and pointing fingers. But, they delayed the deal, and it hurts our military that they did.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Now, pull your partisan head out of your partisan ass and educate yourself. I just gave you a head start.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Funny, that you noticed with your own buried so deeply. You didn&#039;t educate me. You put in your own spin and conveniently left out important information. Frankly, while it may upset you like Sen. Shelby does, people who don&#039;t support job-killing unions, Obama, and lying Democrats aren&#039;t going away...and, we know more than you do.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Apparently, judging from this site and that commenter, the phrase &quot;pulling your head out of your ass&quot; is a universal response from socialists who really can&#039;t argue with the truth.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>reg, is that you with whom I&#8217;m arguing on another site?</p>
<blockquote><p><i>From article:  &#8220;&#8230;to help a foreign company.&#8221;</p>
<p>Woody:  That statement is completely wrong. It shows a bias and intentional deceit.</p>
<p><b>reg twin:  Slightly.</b></i></p>
<p>Woody:  Slightly? It came from Kos and is only &#8220;slightly&#8221; deceitful? Shelby is defending his state&#8217;s interests, not a foreign company.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p><i>Woody: Sen. Shelby is trying to help U.S. taxpayers and workers in his state and is trying to get the Obama government to play fair on the contract.</p>
<p>reg twin:  <b>True, it is simply a side effect that it will put money in a foreign company&#8217;s profits.</b></i></p>
<p>Woody:  Since when has the &#8220;foreign company&#8221; excluded U.S. shareholders? There will be huge financial gains in our nation through construction, workers, and taxes.</p>
<p>A &#8220;side effect&#8221; is that Boeing&#8217;s monopoly within the U.S. will be challenged with workers from another part of our nation. Of course, Democratic repesentatives have compared Southern workers to Bubbas in a garage and said that they aren&#8217;t qualified. But, as we&#8217;re seeing, workers in Alabama produce &#8220;foreign&#8221; cars better than heavy-unionized Detroit produce domestic models.</p>
<p>- &#8211; -</p>
<p><i>Woody:  The Pentagon originally awarded the contract to build new Air Force tankers to a joint venture with a company in L.A., and the plane is to be built in Mobile, Alabama, where, by the way, U.S. workers live.</p>
<p><b>reg twin:  Yep.</b></i></p>
<p>Woody:  Might I add, non-union workers.</p>
<p>- &#8211; -</p>
<p><i>Woody:  That plane is far superior to the one that Boeing proposed. It&#8217;s larger, more cost effective, and won&#8217;t be delayed like Boeing&#8217;s because of problems with Boeing&#8217;s plane.</p>
<p>After losing, Boeing went to court and whined to a bunch of weasley, crooked politicians who made the Pentagon throw out the award and rebid it with criteria tailored to Boeing.</p>
<p>reg twin:  <b>Nope. Boeing filed a compaint that the Airbus wasn&#8217;t to the RFP specks, and it worked its way through the courts and won.</p>
<p>Not political, legal.</b></i></p>
<p>Woody:  I notice that you didn&#8217;t dispute the part about Northrup&#8217;s plane being the best for the Air Force or that Boeing is having major problems with their plane&#8211;not that it should matter to you, as it only involves our military.</p>
<p>As I remember, the court never ruled on this. The Pentagon caved to political pressure before it came to that. THAT is political. Also, political is changing the rules to help Boeing and sharing winning bid details with Boeing but not sharing Boeing bid details with Northrop. This is also part of paying back the unions for their support of Obama. Not political?</p>
<p>- &#8211; -</p>
<p><i>Woody:  It&#8217;s not Shelby holding things up. Those planes should already be in production. The people responsible for the holds are the ones who don&#8217;t mind screwing the taxpayers and moving the awarded bid for their own special interests.</p>
<p><b>reg twin:  That&#8217;s the dumbest spin I&#8217;ve ever seen.</b></i></p>
<p>Woody:  No, without interference by the Democrats, we would never have come to this point. It&#8217;s just like a liberal to think that everyone should roll over to give them what they want and blame others who defend themselves. If the Democrats don&#8217;t like it, then they can play fair or keep whining and pointing fingers. But, they delayed the deal, and it hurts our military that they did.</p>
<p>- &#8211; -</p>
<p><i>Woody:  If they want to cheat, they shouldn&#8217;t take offense at anyone who tries to block them in a fair way.</p>
<p><b>reg twin:  If you have the slightest evidence that Boeing cheated, again, you could make millions.</b></i></p>

		<description>Note - that &quot;rodent&quot; line was NOT directed at Jim R, who I also enjoy screwing with.  But Jim R is not a troll, just a guy who confuses his relatively decent intentions with good policy. Big difference and I apologize to Jim if he thought I was putting him in the same barrel as TrollBoy.  I have deep differences with Jim - I think he clings to simplistic &quot;solutions&quot;, but I don&#039;t hold him in contempt.  I&#039;ll admit to being rude, but it&#039;s not intended as a dismissal. Just &quot;the way I roll&quot; when confronted with what I perceive as nonsense.  I&#039;m sure he gets that by now.</description>

		<description>When one reads some the trollbait nonsense, above, its worth pointing out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goforbroke.org/history/history_historical_veterans_442nd.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the truth&lt;/a&gt; is a fine antidote to asininity:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was “go for broke.” It’s a gambling term that means risking everything on one great effort to win big. The soldiers of the 442nd needed to win big. They were Nisei - American-born sons of Japanese immigrants. They fought two wars: the Germans in Europe and the prejudice in America.

The motto was invented by the high-rolling Nisei soldiers who came from the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaii-born Nisei, also known as “Buddhaheads,” made up about two-thirds of the regiment. The remaining third were Nisei from the mainland. In April 1943, the islanders and mainlanders arrived for training at Camp Shelby, Mississippi. Immediately, they fought with each other because of different perspectives based on where they grew up. 

[...]

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated unit for its size and length of service, in the entire history of the U.S. Military. The 4,000 men who initially came in April 1943 had to be replaced nearly 3.5 times. In total, about 14,000 men served, ultimately earning 9,486 Purple Hearts , 21 Medals of Honor and an unprecedented eight Presidential Unit Citations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Truth to bullshit. The truth wins again.</description>

		<description>Just for the record, Woody is supporting Richard Shelby holding every nominee of Obama&#039;s hostage so that Airbus, a FRENCH corporation, gets military contracts and Boeing is excluded from the bidding process.  That&#039;s right - Woody is supporting a blockade of any and all Obama nominations until the Cheese-Eating-Surrender-Monkeys get their tails in the door with Richard Shelby&#039;s help.  Shocking!  Next he&#039;ll be dipping his pork rinds in foie gras during the SuperBowl and washing them down with Fischer La Belle Alsace.</description>

		<description>Woody - are you really too stupid to understand the irony of a little shithead peckerwood who uses &quot;FRANCE!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to analysing healthcare - and engages in the most rank nativist bigotry as a mtter of course - defending Richard Shelby&#039;s petulant insult to this country (not because of FRANCE!!!! but his absurd abuse of the &quot;hold&quot; maneuver) with his porky, self-serving Airbus deal. You can argue this till doomsday, but you can&#039;t help but come out looking like a weasel hoist on your own idiot&#039;s petard.  

Get a life, get out of the gutter and get at least a bit of a sense of humor about the asinine nature of your own fucking bigoted rants if you expect us to suffer those steaming piles of horse-shit you relentlessly drop in these comments.  You&#039;re ridiculous.</description>

		<description>reg, is that you with whom I&#039;m arguing on another site?

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;From article:  &quot;...to help a foreign company.&quot;

Woody:  That statement is completely wrong. It shows a bias and intentional deceit.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Slightly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Slightly? It came from Kos and is only &quot;slightly&quot; deceitful? Shelby is defending his state&#039;s interests, not a foreign company.

-----

&lt;i&gt;Woody: Sen. Shelby is trying to help U.S. taxpayers and workers in his state and is trying to get the Obama government to play fair on the contract.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;True, it is simply a side effect that it will put money in a foreign company&#039;s profits.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Since when has the &quot;foreign company&quot; excluded U.S. shareholders? There will be huge financial gains in our nation through construction, workers, and taxes.

A &quot;side effect&quot; is that Boeing&#039;s monopoly within the U.S. will be challenged with workers from another part of our nation. Of course, Democratic repesentatives have compared Southern workers to Bubbas in a garage and said that they aren&#039;t qualified. But, as we&#039;re seeing, workers in Alabama produce &quot;foreign&quot; cars better than heavy-unionized Detroit produce domestic models.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  The Pentagon originally awarded the contract to build new Air Force tankers to a joint venture with a company in L.A., and the plane is to be built in Mobile, Alabama, where, by the way, U.S. workers live.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Yep.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Might I add, non-union workers.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  That plane is far superior to the one that Boeing proposed. It&#039;s larger, more cost effective, and won&#039;t be delayed like Boeing&#039;s because of problems with Boeing&#039;s plane.

After losing, Boeing went to court and whined to a bunch of weasley, crooked politicians who made the Pentagon throw out the award and rebid it with criteria tailored to Boeing.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;Nope. Boeing filed a compaint that the Airbus wasn&#039;t to the RFP specks, and it worked its way through the courts and won.

Not political, legal.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  I notice that you didn&#039;t dispute the part about Northrup&#039;s plane being the best for the Air Force or that Boeing is having major problems with their plane--not that it should matter to you, as it only involves our military.

As I remember, the court never ruled on this. The Pentagon caved to political pressure before it came to that. THAT is political. Also, political is changing the rules to help Boeing and sharing winning bid details with Boeing but not sharing Boeing bid details with Northrop. This is also part of paying back the unions for their support of Obama. Not political?

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  It&#039;s not Shelby holding things up. Those planes should already be in production. The people responsible for the holds are the ones who don&#039;t mind screwing the taxpayers and moving the awarded bid for their own special interests.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  That&#039;s the dumbest spin I&#039;ve ever seen.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  No, without interference by the Democrats, we would never have come to this point. It&#039;s just like a liberal to think that everyone should roll over to give them what they want and blame others who defend themselves. If the Democrats don&#039;t like it, then they can play fair or keep whining and pointing fingers. But, they delayed the deal, and it hurts our military that they did.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  If they want to cheat, they shouldn&#039;t take offense at anyone who tries to block them in a fair way.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  If you have the slightest evidence that Boeing cheated, again, you could make millions.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Where do I collect my money? Boeing has publicly and deeply lied about their competition and the contract, for which there is ample proof, and heavily lobbied an administration that said that it was going to change that aspect of Washington.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Now, pull your partisan head out of your partisan ass and educate yourself. I just gave you a head start.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Funny, that you noticed with your own buried so deeply. You didn&#039;t educate me. You put in your own spin and conveniently left out important information. Frankly, while it may upset you like Sen. Shelby does, people who don&#039;t support job-killing unions, Obama, and lying Democrats aren&#039;t going away...and, we know more than you do.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Apparently, judging from this site and that commenter, the phrase &quot;pulling your head out of your ass&quot; is a universal response from socialists who really can&#039;t argue with the truth.</description>

		<description>Note - that &quot;rodent&quot; line was NOT directed at Jim R, who I also enjoy screwing with.  But Jim R is not a troll, just a guy who confuses his relatively decent intentions with good policy. Big difference and I apologize to Jim if he thought I was putting him in the same barrel as TrollBoy.  I have deep differences with Jim - I think he clings to simplistic &quot;solutions&quot;, but I don&#039;t hold him in contempt.  I&#039;ll admit to being rude, but it&#039;s not intended as a dismissal. Just &quot;the way I roll&quot; when confronted with what I perceive as nonsense.  I&#039;m sure he gets that by now.</description>

		<description>When one reads some the trollbait nonsense, above, its worth pointing out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goforbroke.org/history/history_historical_veterans_442nd.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the truth&lt;/a&gt; is a fine antidote to asininity:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was “go for broke.” It’s a gambling term that means risking everything on one great effort to win big. The soldiers of the 442nd needed to win big. They were Nisei - American-born sons of Japanese immigrants. They fought two wars: the Germans in Europe and the prejudice in America.

The motto was invented by the high-rolling Nisei soldiers who came from the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaii-born Nisei, also known as “Buddhaheads,” made up about two-thirds of the regiment. The remaining third were Nisei from the mainland. In April 1943, the islanders and mainlanders arrived for training at Camp Shelby, Mississippi. Immediately, they fought with each other because of different perspectives based on where they grew up. 

[...]

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated unit for its size and length of service, in the entire history of the U.S. Military. The 4,000 men who initially came in April 1943 had to be replaced nearly 3.5 times. In total, about 14,000 men served, ultimately earning 9,486 Purple Hearts , 21 Medals of Honor and an unprecedented eight Presidential Unit Citations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Truth to bullshit. The truth wins again.</description>

		<description>Just for the record, Woody is supporting Richard Shelby holding every nominee of Obama&#039;s hostage so that Airbus, a FRENCH corporation, gets military contracts and Boeing is excluded from the bidding process.  That&#039;s right - Woody is supporting a blockade of any and all Obama nominations until the Cheese-Eating-Surrender-Monkeys get their tails in the door with Richard Shelby&#039;s help.  Shocking!  Next he&#039;ll be dipping his pork rinds in foie gras during the SuperBowl and washing them down with Fischer La Belle Alsace.</description>

That&#039;s right - Woody is supporting a blockade of any and all Obama nominations until the Cheese-Eating-Surrender-Monkeys get their tails in the door with Richard Shelby&#039;s help.  Shocking!  Next he&#039;ll be dipping his pork rinds in foie gras during the SuperBowl and washing them down with Fischer La Belle Alsace.</description>

		<description>reg, I use &lt;i&gt;&quot;France!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to &lt;/i&gt;their capablity to fight.  Maybe an Alabama influence will have a positive impact on them.  

I&#039;m willing to take their investment dollars and jobs.  You on the other hand don&#039;t want foreign investments?</description>

		<description>Woody - are you really too stupid to understand the irony of a little shithead peckerwood who uses &quot;FRANCE!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to analysing healthcare - and engages in the most rank nativist bigotry as a mtter of course - defending Richard Shelby&#039;s petulant insult to this country (not because of FRANCE!!!! but his absurd abuse of the &quot;hold&quot; maneuver) with his porky, self-serving Airbus deal. You can argue this till doomsday, but you can&#039;t help but come out looking like a weasel hoist on your own idiot&#039;s petard.  

Get a life, get out of the gutter and get at least a bit of a sense of humor about the asinine nature of your own fucking bigoted rants if you expect us to suffer those steaming piles of horse-shit you relentlessly drop in these comments.  You&#039;re ridiculous.</description>

		<description>reg, is that you with whom I&#039;m arguing on another site?

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;From article:  &quot;...to help a foreign company.&quot;

Woody:  That statement is completely wrong. It shows a bias and intentional deceit.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Slightly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Slightly? It came from Kos and is only &quot;slightly&quot; deceitful? Shelby is defending his state&#039;s interests, not a foreign company.

-----

&lt;i&gt;Woody: Sen. Shelby is trying to help U.S. taxpayers and workers in his state and is trying to get the Obama government to play fair on the contract.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;True, it is simply a side effect that it will put money in a foreign company&#039;s profits.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Since when has the &quot;foreign company&quot; excluded U.S. shareholders? There will be huge financial gains in our nation through construction, workers, and taxes.

A &quot;side effect&quot; is that Boeing&#039;s monopoly within the U.S. will be challenged with workers from another part of our nation. Of course, Democratic repesentatives have compared Southern workers to Bubbas in a garage and said that they aren&#039;t qualified. But, as we&#039;re seeing, workers in Alabama produce &quot;foreign&quot; cars better than heavy-unionized Detroit produce domestic models.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  The Pentagon originally awarded the contract to build new Air Force tankers to a joint venture with a company in L.A., and the plane is to be built in Mobile, Alabama, where, by the way, U.S. workers live.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Yep.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Might I add, non-union workers.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  That plane is far superior to the one that Boeing proposed. It&#039;s larger, more cost effective, and won&#039;t be delayed like Boeing&#039;s because of problems with Boeing&#039;s plane.

After losing, Boeing went to court and whined to a bunch of weasley, crooked politicians who made the Pentagon throw out the award and rebid it with criteria tailored to Boeing.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;Nope. Boeing filed a compaint that the Airbus wasn&#039;t to the RFP specks, and it worked its way through the courts and won.

Not political, legal.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  I notice that you didn&#039;t dispute the part about Northrup&#039;s plane being the best for the Air Force or that Boeing is having major problems with their plane--not that it should matter to you, as it only involves our military.

As I remember, the court never ruled on this. The Pentagon caved to political pressure before it came to that. THAT is political. Also, political is changing the rules to help Boeing and sharing winning bid details with Boeing but not sharing Boeing bid details with Northrop. This is also part of paying back the unions for their support of Obama. Not political?

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  It&#039;s not Shelby holding things up. Those planes should already be in production. The people responsible for the holds are the ones who don&#039;t mind screwing the taxpayers and moving the awarded bid for their own special interests.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  That&#039;s the dumbest spin I&#039;ve ever seen.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  No, without interference by the Democrats, we would never have come to this point. It&#039;s just like a liberal to think that everyone should roll over to give them what they want and blame others who defend themselves. If the Democrats don&#039;t like it, then they can play fair or keep whining and pointing fingers. But, they delayed the deal, and it hurts our military that they did.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  If they want to cheat, they shouldn&#039;t take offense at anyone who tries to block them in a fair way.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  If you have the slightest evidence that Boeing cheated, again, you could make millions.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Where do I collect my money? Boeing has publicly and deeply lied about their competition and the contract, for which there is ample proof, and heavily lobbied an administration that said that it was going to change that aspect of Washington.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Now, pull your partisan head out of your partisan ass and educate yourself. I just gave you a head start.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Funny, that you noticed with your own buried so deeply. You didn&#039;t educate me. You put in your own spin and conveniently left out important information. Frankly, while it may upset you like Sen. Shelby does, people who don&#039;t support job-killing unions, Obama, and lying Democrats aren&#039;t going away...and, we know more than you do.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Apparently, judging from this site and that commenter, the phrase &quot;pulling your head out of your ass&quot; is a universal response from socialists who really can&#039;t argue with the truth.</description>

		<description>Note - that &quot;rodent&quot; line was NOT directed at Jim R, who I also enjoy screwing with.  But Jim R is not a troll, just a guy who confuses his relatively decent intentions with good policy. Big difference and I apologize to Jim if he thought I was putting him in the same barrel as TrollBoy.  I have deep differences with Jim - I think he clings to simplistic &quot;solutions&quot;, but I don&#039;t hold him in contempt.  I&#039;ll admit to being rude, but it&#039;s not intended as a dismissal. Just &quot;the way I roll&quot; when confronted with what I perceive as nonsense.  I&#039;m sure he gets that by now.</description>

		<description>When one reads some the trollbait nonsense, above, its worth pointing out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goforbroke.org/history/history_historical_veterans_442nd.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the truth&lt;/a&gt; is a fine antidote to asininity:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was “go for broke.” It’s a gambling term that means risking everything on one great effort to win big. The soldiers of the 442nd needed to win big. They were Nisei - American-born sons of Japanese immigrants. They fought two wars: the Germans in Europe and the prejudice in America.

The motto was invented by the high-rolling Nisei soldiers who came from the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaii-born Nisei, also known as “Buddhaheads,” made up about two-thirds of the regiment. The remaining third were Nisei from the mainland. In April 1943, the islanders and mainlanders arrived for training at Camp Shelby, Mississippi. Immediately, they fought with each other because of different perspectives based on where they grew up. 

[...]

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated unit for its size and length of service, in the entire history of the U.S. Military. The 4,000 men who initially came in April 1943 had to be replaced nearly 3.5 times. In total, about 14,000 men served, ultimately earning 9,486 Purple Hearts , 21 Medals of Honor and an unprecedented eight Presidential Unit Citations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Truth to bullshit. The truth wins again.</description>

		<description>reg, bubba, pace yourself. All signs point to the slavering class clawing and clammering  with more vigor until they fall screeching from the parapets. It will get worse and more surreal before The US turns a corner and pathology will no longer be the norm. 

relax, enjoy, feed stray animals and send money to Haiti. Thats what I am doing.</description>

		<description>Just for the record, Woody is supporting Richard Shelby holding every nominee of Obama&#039;s hostage so that Airbus, a FRENCH corporation, gets military contracts and Boeing is excluded from the bidding process.  That&#039;s right - Woody is supporting a blockade of any and all Obama nominations until the Cheese-Eating-Surrender-Monkeys get their tails in the door with Richard Shelby&#039;s help.  Shocking!  Next he&#039;ll be dipping his pork rinds in foie gras during the SuperBowl and washing them down with Fischer La Belle Alsace.</description>

		<description>reg, I use &lt;i&gt;&quot;France!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to &lt;/i&gt;their capablity to fight.  Maybe an Alabama influence will have a positive impact on them.  

I&#039;m willing to take their investment dollars and jobs.  You on the other hand don&#039;t want foreign investments?</description>

		<description>Woody - are you really too stupid to understand the irony of a little shithead peckerwood who uses &quot;FRANCE!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to analysing healthcare - and engages in the most rank nativist bigotry as a mtter of course - defending Richard Shelby&#039;s petulant insult to this country (not because of FRANCE!!!! but his absurd abuse of the &quot;hold&quot; maneuver) with his porky, self-serving Airbus deal. You can argue this till doomsday, but you can&#039;t help but come out looking like a weasel hoist on your own idiot&#039;s petard.  

Get a life, get out of the gutter and get at least a bit of a sense of humor about the asinine nature of your own fucking bigoted rants if you expect us to suffer those steaming piles of horse-shit you relentlessly drop in these comments.  You&#039;re ridiculous.</description>

		<description>reg, is that you with whom I&#039;m arguing on another site?

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;From article:  &quot;...to help a foreign company.&quot;

Woody:  That statement is completely wrong. It shows a bias and intentional deceit.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Slightly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Slightly? It came from Kos and is only &quot;slightly&quot; deceitful? Shelby is defending his state&#039;s interests, not a foreign company.

-----

&lt;i&gt;Woody: Sen. Shelby is trying to help U.S. taxpayers and workers in his state and is trying to get the Obama government to play fair on the contract.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;True, it is simply a side effect that it will put money in a foreign company&#039;s profits.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Since when has the &quot;foreign company&quot; excluded U.S. shareholders? There will be huge financial gains in our nation through construction, workers, and taxes.

A &quot;side effect&quot; is that Boeing&#039;s monopoly within the U.S. will be challenged with workers from another part of our nation. Of course, Democratic repesentatives have compared Southern workers to Bubbas in a garage and said that they aren&#039;t qualified. But, as we&#039;re seeing, workers in Alabama produce &quot;foreign&quot; cars better than heavy-unionized Detroit produce domestic models.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  The Pentagon originally awarded the contract to build new Air Force tankers to a joint venture with a company in L.A., and the plane is to be built in Mobile, Alabama, where, by the way, U.S. workers live.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Yep.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Might I add, non-union workers.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  That plane is far superior to the one that Boeing proposed. It&#039;s larger, more cost effective, and won&#039;t be delayed like Boeing&#039;s because of problems with Boeing&#039;s plane.

After losing, Boeing went to court and whined to a bunch of weasley, crooked politicians who made the Pentagon throw out the award and rebid it with criteria tailored to Boeing.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;Nope. Boeing filed a compaint that the Airbus wasn&#039;t to the RFP specks, and it worked its way through the courts and won.

Not political, legal.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  I notice that you didn&#039;t dispute the part about Northrup&#039;s plane being the best for the Air Force or that Boeing is having major problems with their plane--not that it should matter to you, as it only involves our military.

As I remember, the court never ruled on this. The Pentagon caved to political pressure before it came to that. THAT is political. Also, political is changing the rules to help Boeing and sharing winning bid details with Boeing but not sharing Boeing bid details with Northrop. This is also part of paying back the unions for their support of Obama. Not political?

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  It&#039;s not Shelby holding things up. Those planes should already be in production. The people responsible for the holds are the ones who don&#039;t mind screwing the taxpayers and moving the awarded bid for their own special interests.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  That&#039;s the dumbest spin I&#039;ve ever seen.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  No, without interference by the Democrats, we would never have come to this point. It&#039;s just like a liberal to think that everyone should roll over to give them what they want and blame others who defend themselves. If the Democrats don&#039;t like it, then they can play fair or keep whining and pointing fingers. But, they delayed the deal, and it hurts our military that they did.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  If they want to cheat, they shouldn&#039;t take offense at anyone who tries to block them in a fair way.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  If you have the slightest evidence that Boeing cheated, again, you could make millions.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Where do I collect my money? Boeing has publicly and deeply lied about their competition and the contract, for which there is ample proof, and heavily lobbied an administration that said that it was going to change that aspect of Washington.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Now, pull your partisan head out of your partisan ass and educate yourself. I just gave you a head start.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Funny, that you noticed with your own buried so deeply. You didn&#039;t educate me. You put in your own spin and conveniently left out important information. Frankly, while it may upset you like Sen. Shelby does, people who don&#039;t support job-killing unions, Obama, and lying Democrats aren&#039;t going away...and, we know more than you do.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Apparently, judging from this site and that commenter, the phrase &quot;pulling your head out of your ass&quot; is a universal response from socialists who really can&#039;t argue with the truth.</description>

		<description>Note - that &quot;rodent&quot; line was NOT directed at Jim R, who I also enjoy screwing with.  But Jim R is not a troll, just a guy who confuses his relatively decent intentions with good policy. Big difference and I apologize to Jim if he thought I was putting him in the same barrel as TrollBoy.  I have deep differences with Jim - I think he clings to simplistic &quot;solutions&quot;, but I don&#039;t hold him in contempt.  I&#039;ll admit to being rude, but it&#039;s not intended as a dismissal. Just &quot;the way I roll&quot; when confronted with what I perceive as nonsense.  I&#039;m sure he gets that by now.</description>

		<description>When one reads some the trollbait nonsense, above, its worth pointing out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goforbroke.org/history/history_historical_veterans_442nd.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the truth&lt;/a&gt; is a fine antidote to asininity:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was “go for broke.” It’s a gambling term that means risking everything on one great effort to win big. The soldiers of the 442nd needed to win big. They were Nisei - American-born sons of Japanese immigrants. They fought two wars: the Germans in Europe and the prejudice in America.

The motto was invented by the high-rolling Nisei soldiers who came from the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaii-born Nisei, also known as “Buddhaheads,” made up about two-thirds of the regiment. The remaining third were Nisei from the mainland. In April 1943, the islanders and mainlanders arrived for training at Camp Shelby, Mississippi. Immediately, they fought with each other because of different perspectives based on where they grew up. 

[...]

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated unit for its size and length of service, in the entire history of the U.S. Military. The 4,000 men who initially came in April 1943 had to be replaced nearly 3.5 times. In total, about 14,000 men served, ultimately earning 9,486 Purple Hearts , 21 Medals of Honor and an unprecedented eight Presidential Unit Citations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Truth to bullshit. The truth wins again.</description>

		<description>Just for the record, Woody is supporting Richard Shelby holding every nominee of Obama&#039;s hostage so that Airbus, a FRENCH corporation, gets military contracts and Boeing is excluded from the bidding process.  That&#039;s right - Woody is supporting a blockade of any and all Obama nominations until the Cheese-Eating-Surrender-Monkeys get their tails in the door with Richard Shelby&#039;s help.  Shocking!  Next he&#039;ll be dipping his pork rinds in foie gras during the SuperBowl and washing them down with Fischer La Belle Alsace.</description>

I&#039;m willing to take their investment dollars and jobs.  You on the other hand don&#039;t want foreign investments?</description>

		<description>Woody - are you really too stupid to understand the irony of a little shithead peckerwood who uses &quot;FRANCE!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to analysing healthcare - and engages in the most rank nativist bigotry as a mtter of course - defending Richard Shelby&#039;s petulant insult to this country (not because of FRANCE!!!! but his absurd abuse of the &quot;hold&quot; maneuver) with his porky, self-serving Airbus deal. You can argue this till doomsday, but you can&#039;t help but come out looking like a weasel hoist on your own idiot&#039;s petard.  

Get a life, get out of the gutter and get at least a bit of a sense of humor about the asinine nature of your own fucking bigoted rants if you expect us to suffer those steaming piles of horse-shit you relentlessly drop in these comments.  You&#039;re ridiculous.</description>

		<description>reg, is that you with whom I&#039;m arguing on another site?

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;From article:  &quot;...to help a foreign company.&quot;

Woody:  That statement is completely wrong. It shows a bias and intentional deceit.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Slightly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Slightly? It came from Kos and is only &quot;slightly&quot; deceitful? Shelby is defending his state&#039;s interests, not a foreign company.

-----

&lt;i&gt;Woody: Sen. Shelby is trying to help U.S. taxpayers and workers in his state and is trying to get the Obama government to play fair on the contract.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;True, it is simply a side effect that it will put money in a foreign company&#039;s profits.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Since when has the &quot;foreign company&quot; excluded U.S. shareholders? There will be huge financial gains in our nation through construction, workers, and taxes.

A &quot;side effect&quot; is that Boeing&#039;s monopoly within the U.S. will be challenged with workers from another part of our nation. Of course, Democratic repesentatives have compared Southern workers to Bubbas in a garage and said that they aren&#039;t qualified. But, as we&#039;re seeing, workers in Alabama produce &quot;foreign&quot; cars better than heavy-unionized Detroit produce domestic models.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  The Pentagon originally awarded the contract to build new Air Force tankers to a joint venture with a company in L.A., and the plane is to be built in Mobile, Alabama, where, by the way, U.S. workers live.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Yep.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Might I add, non-union workers.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  That plane is far superior to the one that Boeing proposed. It&#039;s larger, more cost effective, and won&#039;t be delayed like Boeing&#039;s because of problems with Boeing&#039;s plane.

After losing, Boeing went to court and whined to a bunch of weasley, crooked politicians who made the Pentagon throw out the award and rebid it with criteria tailored to Boeing.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;Nope. Boeing filed a compaint that the Airbus wasn&#039;t to the RFP specks, and it worked its way through the courts and won.

Not political, legal.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  I notice that you didn&#039;t dispute the part about Northrup&#039;s plane being the best for the Air Force or that Boeing is having major problems with their plane--not that it should matter to you, as it only involves our military.

As I remember, the court never ruled on this. The Pentagon caved to political pressure before it came to that. THAT is political. Also, political is changing the rules to help Boeing and sharing winning bid details with Boeing but not sharing Boeing bid details with Northrop. This is also part of paying back the unions for their support of Obama. Not political?

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  It&#039;s not Shelby holding things up. Those planes should already be in production. The people responsible for the holds are the ones who don&#039;t mind screwing the taxpayers and moving the awarded bid for their own special interests.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  That&#039;s the dumbest spin I&#039;ve ever seen.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  No, without interference by the Democrats, we would never have come to this point. It&#039;s just like a liberal to think that everyone should roll over to give them what they want and blame others who defend themselves. If the Democrats don&#039;t like it, then they can play fair or keep whining and pointing fingers. But, they delayed the deal, and it hurts our military that they did.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  If they want to cheat, they shouldn&#039;t take offense at anyone who tries to block them in a fair way.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  If you have the slightest evidence that Boeing cheated, again, you could make millions.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Where do I collect my money? Boeing has publicly and deeply lied about their competition and the contract, for which there is ample proof, and heavily lobbied an administration that said that it was going to change that aspect of Washington.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Now, pull your partisan head out of your partisan ass and educate yourself. I just gave you a head start.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Funny, that you noticed with your own buried so deeply. You didn&#039;t educate me. You put in your own spin and conveniently left out important information. Frankly, while it may upset you like Sen. Shelby does, people who don&#039;t support job-killing unions, Obama, and lying Democrats aren&#039;t going away...and, we know more than you do.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Apparently, judging from this site and that commenter, the phrase &quot;pulling your head out of your ass&quot; is a universal response from socialists who really can&#039;t argue with the truth.</description>

<p>- &#8211; -</p>
<p><i>Woody:  The Pentagon originally awarded the contract to build new Air Force tankers to a joint venture with a company in L.A., and the plane is to be built in Mobile, Alabama, where, by the way, U.S. workers live.</p>
<p><b>reg twin:  Yep.</b></i></p>
<p>Woody:  Might I add, non-union workers.</p>
<p>- &#8211; -</p>
<p><i>Woody:  That plane is far superior to the one that Boeing proposed. It&#8217;s larger, more cost effective, and won&#8217;t be delayed like Boeing&#8217;s because of problems with Boeing&#8217;s plane.</p>
<p>After losing, Boeing went to court and whined to a bunch of weasley, crooked politicians who made the Pentagon throw out the award and rebid it with criteria tailored to Boeing.</p>
<p>reg twin:  <b>Nope. Boeing filed a compaint that the Airbus wasn&#8217;t to the RFP specks, and it worked its way through the courts and won.</p>
<p>Not political, legal.</b></i></p>
<p>Woody:  I notice that you didn&#8217;t dispute the part about Northrup&#8217;s plane being the best for the Air Force or that Boeing is having major problems with their plane&#8211;not that it should matter to you, as it only involves our military.</p>
<p>As I remember, the court never ruled on this. The Pentagon caved to political pressure before it came to that. THAT is political. Also, political is changing the rules to help Boeing and sharing winning bid details with Boeing but not sharing Boeing bid details with Northrop. This is also part of paying back the unions for their support of Obama. Not political?</p>
<p>- &#8211; -</p>
<p><i>Woody:  It&#8217;s not Shelby holding things up. Those planes should already be in production. The people responsible for the holds are the ones who don&#8217;t mind screwing the taxpayers and moving the awarded bid for their own special interests.</p>
<p><b>reg twin:  That&#8217;s the dumbest spin I&#8217;ve ever seen.</b></i></p>
<p>Woody:  No, without interference by the Democrats, we would never have come to this point. It&#8217;s just like a liberal to think that everyone should roll over to give them what they want and blame others who defend themselves. If the Democrats don&#8217;t like it, then they can play fair or keep whining and pointing fingers. But, they delayed the deal, and it hurts our military that they did.</p>
<p>- &#8211; -</p>
<p><i>Woody:  If they want to cheat, they shouldn&#8217;t take offense at anyone who tries to block them in a fair way.</p>
<p><b>reg twin:  If you have the slightest evidence that Boeing cheated, again, you could make millions.</b></i></p>
<p>Woody:  Where do I collect my money? Boeing has publicly and deeply lied about their competition and the contract, for which there is ample proof, and heavily lobbied an administration that said that it was going to change that aspect of Washington.</p>
<p>- &#8211; -</p>
<p><i><b>reg twin:  Now, pull your partisan head out of your partisan ass and educate yourself. I just gave you a head start.</b></i></p>
<p>Woody:  Funny, that you noticed with your own buried so deeply. You didn&#8217;t educate me. You put in your own spin and conveniently left out important information. Frankly, while it may upset you like Sen. Shelby does, people who don&#8217;t support job-killing unions, Obama, and lying Democrats aren&#8217;t going away&#8230;and, we know more than you do.</p></blockquote>
<p>Apparently, judging from this site and that commenter, the phrase &#8220;pulling your head out of your ass&#8221; is a universal response from socialists who really can&#8217;t argue with the truth.</p>

		<description>Note - that &quot;rodent&quot; line was NOT directed at Jim R, who I also enjoy screwing with.  But Jim R is not a troll, just a guy who confuses his relatively decent intentions with good policy. Big difference and I apologize to Jim if he thought I was putting him in the same barrel as TrollBoy.  I have deep differences with Jim - I think he clings to simplistic &quot;solutions&quot;, but I don&#039;t hold him in contempt.  I&#039;ll admit to being rude, but it&#039;s not intended as a dismissal. Just &quot;the way I roll&quot; when confronted with what I perceive as nonsense.  I&#039;m sure he gets that by now.</description>

		<description>When one reads some the trollbait nonsense, above, its worth pointing out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goforbroke.org/history/history_historical_veterans_442nd.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the truth&lt;/a&gt; is a fine antidote to asininity:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was “go for broke.” It’s a gambling term that means risking everything on one great effort to win big. The soldiers of the 442nd needed to win big. They were Nisei - American-born sons of Japanese immigrants. They fought two wars: the Germans in Europe and the prejudice in America.

The motto was invented by the high-rolling Nisei soldiers who came from the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaii-born Nisei, also known as “Buddhaheads,” made up about two-thirds of the regiment. The remaining third were Nisei from the mainland. In April 1943, the islanders and mainlanders arrived for training at Camp Shelby, Mississippi. Immediately, they fought with each other because of different perspectives based on where they grew up. 

[...]

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated unit for its size and length of service, in the entire history of the U.S. Military. The 4,000 men who initially came in April 1943 had to be replaced nearly 3.5 times. In total, about 14,000 men served, ultimately earning 9,486 Purple Hearts , 21 Medals of Honor and an unprecedented eight Presidential Unit Citations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>Just for the record, Woody is supporting Richard Shelby holding every nominee of Obama&#039;s hostage so that Airbus, a FRENCH corporation, gets military contracts and Boeing is excluded from the bidding process.  That&#039;s right - Woody is supporting a blockade of any and all Obama nominations until the Cheese-Eating-Surrender-Monkeys get their tails in the door with Richard Shelby&#039;s help.  Shocking!  Next he&#039;ll be dipping his pork rinds in foie gras during the SuperBowl and washing them down with Fischer La Belle Alsace.</description>

		<description>Woody - are you really too stupid to understand the irony of a little shithead peckerwood who uses &quot;FRANCE!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to analysing healthcare - and engages in the most rank nativist bigotry as a mtter of course - defending Richard Shelby&#039;s petulant insult to this country (not because of FRANCE!!!! but his absurd abuse of the &quot;hold&quot; maneuver) with his porky, self-serving Airbus deal. You can argue this till doomsday, but you can&#039;t help but come out looking like a weasel hoist on your own idiot&#039;s petard.  

Get a life, get out of the gutter and get at least a bit of a sense of humor about the asinine nature of your own fucking bigoted rants if you expect us to suffer those steaming piles of horse-shit you relentlessly drop in these comments.  You&#039;re ridiculous.</description>

		<description>reg, is that you with whom I&#039;m arguing on another site?

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;From article:  &quot;...to help a foreign company.&quot;

Woody:  That statement is completely wrong. It shows a bias and intentional deceit.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Slightly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Slightly? It came from Kos and is only &quot;slightly&quot; deceitful? Shelby is defending his state&#039;s interests, not a foreign company.

&lt;i&gt;Woody: Sen. Shelby is trying to help U.S. taxpayers and workers in his state and is trying to get the Obama government to play fair on the contract.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;True, it is simply a side effect that it will put money in a foreign company&#039;s profits.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Since when has the &quot;foreign company&quot; excluded U.S. shareholders? There will be huge financial gains in our nation through construction, workers, and taxes.

A &quot;side effect&quot; is that Boeing&#039;s monopoly within the U.S. will be challenged with workers from another part of our nation. Of course, Democratic repesentatives have compared Southern workers to Bubbas in a garage and said that they aren&#039;t qualified. But, as we&#039;re seeing, workers in Alabama produce &quot;foreign&quot; cars better than heavy-unionized Detroit produce domestic models.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  The Pentagon originally awarded the contract to build new Air Force tankers to a joint venture with a company in L.A., and the plane is to be built in Mobile, Alabama, where, by the way, U.S. workers live.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Yep.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Might I add, non-union workers.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  That plane is far superior to the one that Boeing proposed. It&#039;s larger, more cost effective, and won&#039;t be delayed like Boeing&#039;s because of problems with Boeing&#039;s plane.

After losing, Boeing went to court and whined to a bunch of weasley, crooked politicians who made the Pentagon throw out the award and rebid it with criteria tailored to Boeing.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;Nope. Boeing filed a compaint that the Airbus wasn&#039;t to the RFP specks, and it worked its way through the courts and won.

Not political, legal.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  I notice that you didn&#039;t dispute the part about Northrup&#039;s plane being the best for the Air Force or that Boeing is having major problems with their plane--not that it should matter to you, as it only involves our military.

As I remember, the court never ruled on this. The Pentagon caved to political pressure before it came to that. THAT is political. Also, political is changing the rules to help Boeing and sharing winning bid details with Boeing but not sharing Boeing bid details with Northrop. This is also part of paying back the unions for their support of Obama. Not political?

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  It&#039;s not Shelby holding things up. Those planes should already be in production. The people responsible for the holds are the ones who don&#039;t mind screwing the taxpayers and moving the awarded bid for their own special interests.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  That&#039;s the dumbest spin I&#039;ve ever seen.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  No, without interference by the Democrats, we would never have come to this point. It&#039;s just like a liberal to think that everyone should roll over to give them what they want and blame others who defend themselves. If the Democrats don&#039;t like it, then they can play fair or keep whining and pointing fingers. But, they delayed the deal, and it hurts our military that they did.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  If they want to cheat, they shouldn&#039;t take offense at anyone who tries to block them in a fair way.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  If you have the slightest evidence that Boeing cheated, again, you could make millions.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Where do I collect my money? Boeing has publicly and deeply lied about their competition and the contract, for which there is ample proof, and heavily lobbied an administration that said that it was going to change that aspect of Washington.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Now, pull your partisan head out of your partisan ass and educate yourself. I just gave you a head start.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Funny, that you noticed with your own buried so deeply. You didn&#039;t educate me. You put in your own spin and conveniently left out important information. Frankly, while it may upset you like Sen. Shelby does, people who don&#039;t support job-killing unions, Obama, and lying Democrats aren&#039;t going away...and, we know more than you do.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Apparently, judging from this site and that commenter, the phrase &quot;pulling your head out of your ass&quot; is a universal response from socialists who really can&#039;t argue with the truth.</description>

		<description>Note - that &quot;rodent&quot; line was NOT directed at Jim R, who I also enjoy screwing with.  But Jim R is not a troll, just a guy who confuses his relatively decent intentions with good policy. Big difference and I apologize to Jim if he thought I was putting him in the same barrel as TrollBoy.  I have deep differences with Jim - I think he clings to simplistic &quot;solutions&quot;, but I don&#039;t hold him in contempt.  I&#039;ll admit to being rude, but it&#039;s not intended as a dismissal. Just &quot;the way I roll&quot; when confronted with what I perceive as nonsense.  I&#039;m sure he gets that by now.</description>

		<description>When one reads some the trollbait nonsense, above, its worth pointing out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goforbroke.org/history/history_historical_veterans_442nd.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the truth&lt;/a&gt; is a fine antidote to asininity:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was “go for broke.” It’s a gambling term that means risking everything on one great effort to win big. The soldiers of the 442nd needed to win big. They were Nisei - American-born sons of Japanese immigrants. They fought two wars: the Germans in Europe and the prejudice in America.

The motto was invented by the high-rolling Nisei soldiers who came from the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaii-born Nisei, also known as “Buddhaheads,” made up about two-thirds of the regiment. The remaining third were Nisei from the mainland. In April 1943, the islanders and mainlanders arrived for training at Camp Shelby, Mississippi. Immediately, they fought with each other because of different perspectives based on where they grew up. 

[...]

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated unit for its size and length of service, in the entire history of the U.S. Military. The 4,000 men who initially came in April 1943 had to be replaced nearly 3.5 times. In total, about 14,000 men served, ultimately earning 9,486 Purple Hearts , 21 Medals of Honor and an unprecedented eight Presidential Unit Citations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Truth to bullshit. The truth wins again.</description>

		<description>Just for the record, Woody is supporting Richard Shelby holding every nominee of Obama&#039;s hostage so that Airbus, a FRENCH corporation, gets military contracts and Boeing is excluded from the bidding process.  That&#039;s right - Woody is supporting a blockade of any and all Obama nominations until the Cheese-Eating-Surrender-Monkeys get their tails in the door with Richard Shelby&#039;s help.  Shocking!  Next he&#039;ll be dipping his pork rinds in foie gras during the SuperBowl and washing them down with Fischer La Belle Alsace.</description>

		<description>reg, I use &lt;i&gt;&quot;France!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to &lt;/i&gt;their capablity to fight.  Maybe an Alabama influence will have a positive impact on them.  

I&#039;m willing to take their investment dollars and jobs.  You on the other hand don&#039;t want foreign investments?</description>

		<description>Woody - are you really too stupid to understand the irony of a little shithead peckerwood who uses &quot;FRANCE!&quot; as a term of derision when it comes to analysing healthcare - and engages in the most rank nativist bigotry as a mtter of course - defending Richard Shelby&#039;s petulant insult to this country (not because of FRANCE!!!! but his absurd abuse of the &quot;hold&quot; maneuver) with his porky, self-serving Airbus deal. You can argue this till doomsday, but you can&#039;t help but come out looking like a weasel hoist on your own idiot&#039;s petard.  

Get a life, get out of the gutter and get at least a bit of a sense of humor about the asinine nature of your own fucking bigoted rants if you expect us to suffer those steaming piles of horse-shit you relentlessly drop in these comments.  You&#039;re ridiculous.</description>

		<description>reg, is that you with whom I&#039;m arguing on another site?

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;From article:  &quot;...to help a foreign company.&quot;

Woody:  That statement is completely wrong. It shows a bias and intentional deceit.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Slightly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Slightly? It came from Kos and is only &quot;slightly&quot; deceitful? Shelby is defending his state&#039;s interests, not a foreign company.

-----

&lt;i&gt;Woody: Sen. Shelby is trying to help U.S. taxpayers and workers in his state and is trying to get the Obama government to play fair on the contract.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;True, it is simply a side effect that it will put money in a foreign company&#039;s profits.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Since when has the &quot;foreign company&quot; excluded U.S. shareholders? There will be huge financial gains in our nation through construction, workers, and taxes.

A &quot;side effect&quot; is that Boeing&#039;s monopoly within the U.S. will be challenged with workers from another part of our nation. Of course, Democratic repesentatives have compared Southern workers to Bubbas in a garage and said that they aren&#039;t qualified. But, as we&#039;re seeing, workers in Alabama produce &quot;foreign&quot; cars better than heavy-unionized Detroit produce domestic models.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  The Pentagon originally awarded the contract to build new Air Force tankers to a joint venture with a company in L.A., and the plane is to be built in Mobile, Alabama, where, by the way, U.S. workers live.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Yep.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Might I add, non-union workers.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  That plane is far superior to the one that Boeing proposed. It&#039;s larger, more cost effective, and won&#039;t be delayed like Boeing&#039;s because of problems with Boeing&#039;s plane.

After losing, Boeing went to court and whined to a bunch of weasley, crooked politicians who made the Pentagon throw out the award and rebid it with criteria tailored to Boeing.

reg twin:  &lt;b&gt;Nope. Boeing filed a compaint that the Airbus wasn&#039;t to the RFP specks, and it worked its way through the courts and won.

Not political, legal.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  I notice that you didn&#039;t dispute the part about Northrup&#039;s plane being the best for the Air Force or that Boeing is having major problems with their plane--not that it should matter to you, as it only involves our military.

As I remember, the court never ruled on this. The Pentagon caved to political pressure before it came to that. THAT is political. Also, political is changing the rules to help Boeing and sharing winning bid details with Boeing but not sharing Boeing bid details with Northrop. This is also part of paying back the unions for their support of Obama. Not political?

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  It&#039;s not Shelby holding things up. Those planes should already be in production. The people responsible for the holds are the ones who don&#039;t mind screwing the taxpayers and moving the awarded bid for their own special interests.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  That&#039;s the dumbest spin I&#039;ve ever seen.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  No, without interference by the Democrats, we would never have come to this point. It&#039;s just like a liberal to think that everyone should roll over to give them what they want and blame others who defend themselves. If the Democrats don&#039;t like it, then they can play fair or keep whining and pointing fingers. But, they delayed the deal, and it hurts our military that they did.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;Woody:  If they want to cheat, they shouldn&#039;t take offense at anyone who tries to block them in a fair way.

&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  If you have the slightest evidence that Boeing cheated, again, you could make millions.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Where do I collect my money? Boeing has publicly and deeply lied about their competition and the contract, for which there is ample proof, and heavily lobbied an administration that said that it was going to change that aspect of Washington.

- - -

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;reg twin:  Now, pull your partisan head out of your partisan ass and educate yourself. I just gave you a head start.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Woody:  Funny, that you noticed with your own buried so deeply. You didn&#039;t educate me. You put in your own spin and conveniently left out important information. Frankly, while it may upset you like Sen. Shelby does, people who don&#039;t support job-killing unions, Obama, and lying Democrats aren&#039;t going away...and, we know more than you do.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Apparently, judging from this site and that commenter, the phrase &quot;pulling your head out of your ass&quot; is a universal response from socialists who really can&#039;t argue with the truth.</description>

		<description>Note - that &quot;rodent&quot; line was NOT directed at Jim R, who I also enjoy screwing with.  But Jim R is not a troll, just a guy who confuses his relatively decent intentions with good policy. Big difference and I apologize to Jim if he thought I was putting him in the same barrel as TrollBoy.  I have deep differences with Jim - I think he clings to simplistic &quot;solutions&quot;, but I don&#039;t hold him in contempt.  I&#039;ll admit to being rude, but it&#039;s not intended as a dismissal. Just &quot;the way I roll&quot; when confronted with what I perceive as nonsense.  I&#039;m sure he gets that by now.</description>

		<description>When one reads some the trollbait nonsense, above, its worth pointing out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goforbroke.org/history/history_historical_veterans_442nd.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the truth&lt;/a&gt; is a fine antidote to asininity:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was “go for broke.” It’s a gambling term that means risking everything on one great effort to win big. The soldiers of the 442nd needed to win big. They were Nisei - American-born sons of Japanese immigrants. They fought two wars: the Germans in Europe and the prejudice in America.

The motto was invented by the high-rolling Nisei soldiers who came from the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaii-born Nisei, also known as “Buddhaheads,” made up about two-thirds of the regiment. The remaining third were Nisei from the mainland. In April 1943, the islanders and mainlanders arrived for training at Camp Shelby, Mississippi. Immediately, they fought with each other because of different perspectives based on where they grew up. 

[...]

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated unit for its size and length of service, in the entire history of the U.S. Military. The 4,000 men who initially came in April 1943 had to be replaced nearly 3.5 times. In total, about 14,000 men served, ultimately earning 9,486 Purple Hearts , 21 Medals of Honor and an unprecedented eight Presidential Unit Citations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Truth to bullshit. The truth wins again.</description>

		<description>Just for the record, Woody is supporting Richard Shelby holding every nominee of Obama&#039;s hostage so that Airbus, a FRENCH corporation, gets military contracts and Boeing is excluded from the bidding process.  That&#039;s right - Woody is supporting a blockade of any and all Obama nominations until the Cheese-Eating-Surrender-Monkeys get their tails in the door with Richard Shelby&#039;s help.  Shocking!  Next he&#039;ll be dipping his pork rinds in foie gras during the SuperBowl and washing them down with Fischer La Belle Alsace.</description>
