18. Which is why I asked--has he brought up this issue before? Or is he coming to Jesus?

Look, you can get all shirty and blame-y with me, but here's a real truth--if Marco Rubio becomes the GOP nominee, or even the VP nom, expect this issue to LEAP to the fore of discussion. Why? Because Rubio is Up To His ASS in Private Prison monies. His Chief of Staff is a former lobbyist for the industry. Those guys will probably serve as an ATM for him, if needs must.

It's kinda important, in light of this information, that any potential nominee of ours, for either slot, be fully vetted and "clarified" when it comes to this issue, doncha think?

Or is it more important to just put happy faces on everything and wave pompoms?

You might want to adjust and clarify your SOP if you don't want real discussions here. As I've said, that's ENTIRELY your right to do that, and if you want to put your foot up my ass and show me the door, FINE-- but to this point, your SOP does not prohibit "critique" like some others do.

CCA was incorporated in 1983. Headquarters in Tennessee. No CCA prisons in Maryland. Koinos Nov 2015 #4

I understand that, but the optics remain poor. nt MADem Nov 2015 #5

LOL, the optics are poor? That's quite a stretch. O'Malley railed against the FSogol Nov 2015 #6

There are two facts at play, here: MADem Nov 2015 #7

I have provided you a link that shows you where the largest offender is incorporated. MADem Nov 2015 #20

What does Marco Rubio have to do with O'Malley? FSogol Nov 2015 #21

If O'Malley gets the nomination (a long shot, but who knows?), Rubio could well be his opponent. MADem Nov 2015 #22

Laughably naive. FSogol Nov 2015 #23

So, you try and prove your point by posting an article by a Hogan promoter? FSogol Nov 2015 #32

Some prison systems hire their own, state-employed, doctors and nurses. MADem Nov 2015 #33

Go make your unfounded allegations in some other group. n/t FSogol Nov 2015 #36

I assume that you did not realize you are posting in a protected group. Koinos Nov 2015 #3

I don't think you meant to talk to the person who started this thread, but that is what you are MADem Nov 2015 #12
