“I too am a Navy wife( my husband is now retired). When he was in the Navy serving overseas in the first election Clinton won, absentee ballots were passed out by officers who then told everyone who to vote for. Then the ballots were collected by the officers, to be mailed off. This is not an isolated incident by any means. A friend of ours who was until recently a marine told us that a friend of his who is currently in Iraq was also instructed who to vote for, and was left with the certain knowledge that if he didn't go along, he would be very sorry.

“Hannity also claimed we import 70% of our oil from Saudi Arabia. That's simply not true. The largest exporter of oil to the US is Canada; and we get 11% of our oil from them.

“If Hannidy said that he is wrong. We import about eighteen percent of our oil from the Middle East. Canada is our biggest supplier. "Everyone has a right to his or her own opinion. No one is entitled to his or her own facts."”

“I responded to this before, apparently Huffpo objected to my choice of words. Let me try again. Voice- how many of these children have you adopted?
