If you want to get the goat of oldgoat you have to use stealth. I believe he’s a good debater and has help from some students there at the school where the server is located to do research on articles on Boeing for him. I don’t know if he is directly linked to Boeing or not but It’s quite possible. If it wasn’t for this Boeing mess I’d probably like the OLD GOAT. If you talk to him on other subjects you’ll see his responses are shorter and not sure of him self. He seems really primed for just this one subject.

NO offense to my elders! I have behaved and refrained from calling him that on the Kansas.com forum-miracle of miracles!lol

carl , and of course you and working4u, do you remember the movie 9to5, i am thinking of us girls and oldgoat here.

My sarcastic sense of humor missed its mark-I meant our politicians are acting like regular southerners, sitting on the porch, drinking ice tea. But hey, I’ll be glad to provide the porch and tea, if anyone wants to commiserate together. Or if you need something stronger, bring it-just nothing illegal-lol.

Of course they(Boeing and those KS, Washington people) are happy-they have forced them from being a fair competition to one in which money buys political favors. But hey, what’s new.Boeing has been buying politicians for years in DC.

I want our politicians to get out of sleep mode and fight this thing. Otherwise it was pointless for us to have gone into the bid to begin with. If Boeing pulls this off, to come back and take this contract out from under NG/EADS, that is setting a precedent that no one has a chance against Big Brother-in this case Boeing and the bought politicians. It says to America, that if you are rich and well connected, you can buy anything you want,including DC. It will also make Alabama a laughing stock-imo, especially since we are sitting back and waiting to see what will happen. Anyone want a nice glass of ice tea on the porch?
