Big Ed:There needs to be a discussion on how we are going to pay for this war

Sharpton's alright but he and Ed should have their hours switched as Ed is just a better, more dynamic and persuasive speaker.

I wish Ed would run for office instead of those mealy mouths so called "Dems" we have there now.

When They want war, They don't talk about the cost, period. They will demand offsets, period.

The question of cost is of course secondary the question of WTF. Flailing ineffectually to demand payment is only going to get SS/Medicare cut that much sooner.
