Of course they can. Anyone thinking they have a say is foolish ...other than those empowered to do so through the process that exists.

This is kind of a non-issue. Who really cares what the Navy names their ships?

You realize in the 9 months or so since she was shot that she accomplished pretty much as much as Obama and the people in Congress who supposedly went to work every day?

There's nothing sad about it. I rejoice at the thought of having a Dem, including Obama, in the WH for the next four years. The Repubs haven't done a damn thing except say NO to everything Obama has proposed. To hell with them.

And if she was a "publican" you wouldn't be bitching about it.

The whole point of this is why you would name a ship after a congress woman who hasn't done much of anything. You name ships after military or leaders/presidents that have done something to help this country. I think this was all an Obama thing.

That would make sense considering the attention surrounding her retirement at the State Of The Union address

If that irks you I can only imagine how you might feel about the U.S.S. Quillback named after a freshwater fish of the "Sucker Family" or the U.S.S. Quirinus, a ship named after the early Pagan God of the Romans.

I don't give a fuck what they name the ship. I want to know how they are paying for it.

Good point. It's a Littoral Combat Ship, which has been a complete disaster.

What only the ones that don't fit your political view?

Come on quit moaning

It's a ship, just a ship.
Move on to something more important.
