Her prosposals ( Mrs. Pueshal) are so daffy as to disqualify her out of hand. But then, that is just me thinking out loud. Go vote tomorrow.

Just fyi, I have approved all posts so far. But know I do not sit at the computer all the time and therefore there is going to be lag time

Not sure which part continues to be missed.. but one more try, with all respect.

Bob Black's website shows he was military for several years (no question there) and then lists a series of work with private companies, and it is THAT private sector work I am interested in finding out if it was under government contracts.  It was not I who joined the two statements.  There is a question mark at the end of my comment, if you notice, which creates the question, not a sentence, not a statement.  And there is the word "FOR" in reference to the govt as in contractors.. It is an inquiry.  Is that wrong to do?  I hope not... as it makes 'vetting' for me more complete.

For clarification, I was asking what Paul was discussing in his comment, which has he yet to respond to... and I was trying to determine if his statement was in reference to my comment or someone else's... Is that wrong to do?

Ken, it was not I who tried to make the military vs. defense contractor connection.  I know the difference, and have much respect for our men and women in uniform, not so much for bloated defense contractor.  Just a personal opinion.   I support our military.

If comments are not being posted a member may want to talk directly with the author of the blog?  I am seeing alot of posts from a variety of folks...

Who paid for buses to go to Tally? AFP. Who paid for trips to Iowa fro the caucuses? Who paid for Ginny Thomas to show up? All these things were paid by AFP. Who, trrue to form, put Debbie Gonzales on their direct payroll.

AFP president is a guy named Tim Phillips. Tim it seems back in the day was in business with Jack Abramoff and Ralph Reed. Now Tim and Ralph were paid off by Abramoff to entice their Christian followers to support their efforts to have "Made in the USA" label put on clothes made in the Marianna's because supposedly they were being converted to Christians. Instead they were placed in forced prostitution and forced abortions by their employers.

Later, they, Phillips and Reed, at Abrmoff's behest had their Christian followers fight against a casino being built by a native American tribe, in effort to curb gambling. Instead, it was because Reed, Phillips and Abramoff were making a fortune from the tribe whose casino interest they were representing.

Tim Phillips is bad news. He is a chronic liar. He cynically uses people's true interests to subvert the process. He is a dirty liar. Not at all in for our interests, only those of his paying clients. Which is as it should be, but don't be fooled when he says he cares about your values. It is a lie.

Roma, you questioned whether I considered Mr. Black's time in "military service government work" and you said you "wouldn't" (that was your stated opinion below)... 

My original question was: While he operated within his private business experience (as he puts forth on the link http://bobblackdistrict4.com/uploads/District_4_About_Bob_Black.pdf  and the mailers he sent out in the US Mail,)... were these companies for whom he worked, working FOR the government under govt contracts?  If so, then the taxpayer would be ulitmately paying the salaries...   I am researching, but busy with daily work and haven't finished.   There is, as I am sure you know, lots of wasted govt money spent on government contracts... taxpayer money.  If I find Mr. Black's private business experience was mainly through govt contracts it will impact my personal, I repeat, my personal opinion.  

.. Last time I checked, the military budget falls under the federal budget.  If your pay comes from the Feds then you work for the government.

FYI _ Disclaimer:  I am not endorsing any candidate nor discrediting any candidate.  I am questioning the data put forth by the candidate and/or blogs to be better informed. 

Thanks.. have a great day.

Paul, I do not want to misinterpret your comment.  Are you referring to Roma's opinion when she wrote: "Unless you call his military service government work...I wouldn't" .. (in reference to my comment about Bob Black) ?

Is the US military no longer a part of the federal government? Last time I checked the federal budget I thought that it was, in fact, the department that is the primary recipient of tax dollars.

 I like to wait until the last day so the Dems don't know how many people will be voting AGAINST them.

Will do, Roma, once I do the research on the companies, and will let you know.
The information about the bankruptcy/selling of interests came directly from Black's link you provided. His words.
