I've represented disability claimants for 30 years, and if West thinks it's easy to just sign up & start getting a check (as a lot of idiots seem to think), I could easily disabuse him of that notion. For one thing, there is an entire corps of Administrative Law Judges ("ALJ's"), about whom no one knows or hears unless & until s/he applies for benefits, waits about 4-6 months through the 1st 2 denials, & has to reach the administrative hearing stage; and I can assure you that many ALJ's are in full sympathy with - and about as knowledgeable as - Field Marshal West. Many of them are military retirees, i.e., 20 years in the JAG, i.e., in most cases couldn't find their way into or out of a real courtroom. Not only no judicial experience, but precious little legal experience or experience of the real world outside the military bubble, period. Worse, it's almost impossible to get rid of one of them. I literally believe it's a simpler matter to impeach a U.S. District Judge than to remove an ALJ, no matter how lazy and/or crazy s/he may be.BHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12991272246814476124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-56956831332607612992012-07-11T13:29:38.330-04:002012-07-11T13:29:38.330-04:00IMO, Romney is a great American--the epitome of ev...IMO, Romney is a great American--the epitome of everything that America stands for. An "America is the greatest country ever" wetdream of a man. Of course, my opinion of America (and capitalism, which the American experience fetishizes) is that the longer it survives, the less chance the human race has of seeing the 22nd century.Raenellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12031586239927965106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-10170263364784376442012-07-11T13:05:32.839-04:002012-07-11T13:05:32.839-04:00My half-breed grandmother raised this bastard boy ...My half-breed grandmother raised this bastard boy as Born Just Fine The First Time, Thank You Very Much.

If elected, would Romney work to eliminate the kinds of legal tax advantages that he uses now? (For that matter, would Obama work to eliminate them.)<br /><br />I think even the moral/legal distinction misses the point. Maybe using billionaire Superpacs is legal but immoral, and yet Obama is (at least trying) to do that. But unlike Romney, Obama opposes that and other campaign finance excesses.<br /><br />So to me, it's not whether its legal or even moral. It's whether the candidate thinks it <i>should</i> be legal.Peter Janovskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07590229306105292675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-6538530997154324272012-07-11T10:49:54.561-04:002012-07-11T10:49:54.561-04:00Pretty much throws that whole not lie, cheat, stea...Pretty much throws that whole not lie, cheat, steal, talk shit or covet your neighbor's cow thing out with the toilet water, aeh?Ten Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594307610015584119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-70245782722396380672012-07-11T10:32:16.685-04:002012-07-11T10:32:16.685-04:00GOP = Greedy Old Parasites.
