anyone watching this. its absolutly stupid
webb is talking a 5% tax break for those that sign up for military service, the only thing I can give him over allen is he actually did sign up.
however, myself,and most vets posting on this board will tell ya 5% tax break would have ment maybe ten buxs a year.
its very funny that the interviewer has asked both simple yes or no questions and has gotten 3 min dissertations yet no answer. its sad the interviewer allows it.
its one of the sad facts of popular journalism. no one will keep hammering a yes or no question but all seem to accept 3 minutes of blah blah blah as an answer.

I noticed. It seems that politicians think that a question is an invite to change the subject. They simply cannot answer a question directly. In some cases they blah, blah, blah on a subject totally unrelated to the question. Allen is a master at this.

webb was holding his own with blah blah blah.
I also saw a small portion of todays debate, you guessed it, more of the same.
very good chance I wont bother watching another.

This country needs more Jim Webbs in Congress. If you want to learn a little about him, read The Nightengales Song.
