Kendall: Wow! I never dreamed The Republican National Committee had that kind of clout! I think it was a shame that the fort built in the 19th Century had to be done away with. That is a piece of history that should have been preserved.

As to other base closings, if we don't need 'em, why keep them open? I know it requires that a lot of people find work elsewhere, but, in my opinon, it is not the federal government's responsibility to provide people with jobs if there is no need for those jobs. You probably don't agree, but then you are a Liberal and I'm a Conservative so what else is new? :>)
