LOL,i wrote in Ron Paul...and that is my point.

If there was one third party candidate to rally around then we have a chance of being viable,but as long as we are splintered it is in vain.

If we could just get Martin Sheen to handle Ron Paul's public speaking duties and debates ..

regards,p1976

U.S. agreed to transfer the F-18 Super Hornet fighter jets' technology to Brazil if the Brazilian government chooses to purchase U.S. jets.

Brazil is looking to modernize its air force and replace its current Mirage 2000, F-5M and A-1M fleet — though another priority is to achieve technology transfer and have some plane components produced at home.
...

"For us, the purchase of this fighter plane has a sacred component for Brazil: technology transfer, and the possibility to produce some of this plane in Brazil," he said in comments translated from Portuguese into French. A network spokesman said the interview was recorded Thursday.

In Brazil, where a decision as to the winning platform is expected over the coming weeks, the Gripen is believed to be better placed. Having already been down-selected by the Brazilians in September 2008, the Gripen NG is up against the F/A-18E/F and the Rafale. France has offered Brasilia desired technology transfer in an effort to sweeten its bid, while Boeing is believed to have offered Brazil F/A-18 component production work should it win.
