Get your facts straight....
You reported that even with the "defense budgt increasing"...
NO...not really...it's 17Billion more than last year, BUT ONLY because the cost of the wars in Iraq & Afghanistan are now in the military budget...
That really equates to a $200Billion cut in military spending.

Jason: Being the unbiased journalist I know that you are please clarify a statement you wrote that Jerome Corsi is a discredited journalist. This is in reference to a DVD being distributed inside newpapers in Ohio about Obama and Corsi is cited as one of the sources being interviewed.
Jason:
I've been participating in the Veepstakes every week and it was completely irritating to hear/see Chuck Todd's dissmisal of Hillary Clinton from day one.
So now that she has made it to the top 2 (which to some degree must have surprised and dissapointed him), he does the intro for the final 2 (Hillary and Biden) this week and he and David Gregory go on and on and on about how great Biden is and how Biden should be the one who Obama picks---only saying a few words about Hillary, and then, only pointing out her negatives and not saying a single positive thing about her (focusing on Bill and how Obama doesn't like her, as if they really know)!!!
Chuck and David completley tried and are skewing the final vote. I think it is totally unacceptable to have such a biased intro to the final Veepstakes voting and it should be removed or modified---this is suppose to be a news organization. The current intro not only fails to show both the pros and cons of the final two candidates, but is it so "vote for Biden" and serves (whether intentional or not) to influence the voting.
