This recruiter on Randi Rhodes right now...
...what is his point. He started out saying that Randi has no idea how hard it is being a recruiter these days but then goes on to talk about all these kids who come to HIM. If they are coming to him then why is recruiting so hard? What is he talking about?

1. He was doing good
Well he was telling the truth up until he talked about the kids coming up to him.

4. His intro made no sense.
You have no idea how hard it is being a recruiter these days

Huh??? I'm sure we can all imagine. In fact it's been in the news that recruitment goals are not being met. I'm not sure what the point was that he was trying to make.

3. She smacked him down...
The first part of the interview was exactly what she kept saying. He wasn't truthful. If he had called and said hi I am a recruiter maybe he would have haad some credibility.

5. I thought she dealt with the schmuck beautifully.
He wanted to run over her with his rhetoric that he was indoctrinated with. Randy rightfully call him a liar.

8. He seemed to want to convince her...
...that he knew some people who did not regret their military service. You can always find people who regretted nothing and are willing to go back. You can also find just the opposite.

6. Randi was not being an idiot.
She is a veteran of the USA Armed Forces (Air Force)and thus has the experience to back up her arguments.

9. Hah. I get you. I concede defeat.
What can I say. I wasn't accusing her of being wrong, just being a little ... vitriolic. But if the right can have Rush, I suppose Randi can go with her bad self.

15. Randi is nothing if not passionate and outspoken. She speaks her mind.
I like a straight shooter. I listen to enough parsed and careful language from politicians.

7. Did he threaten her or did she overreact
I was distracted and had to break up a fight between my mastiff and my kitten. My kitten was ahead on points.

(to bring you information on recruiting)" Randi said "I think that's a threat. Just send me the same paperwork that you send the (potential) recruits."

11. I think she was erring on the side of caution.
You don't want some guy you've never met saying that he'll show up at your place of employment with a bunch of his friends.
