Excuse #82 to why repukes don't enlist: We're just too insensitive to them
Edited on Tue Aug-30-05 12:37 PM by LynneSin
Thanks KOS for posting this one - I can't see the video at work due to firewall but they actually got this one on tape!!

JEERS to Kum By Yah Republicans. The new young GOP coward's excuse for not heeding their leader's "higher calling" to go to Iraq and fight the evildoers (quoting directly from this must-see video) goes something like this:


"You need to be more sensitive... There's some people here tonight that would like to serve our country and would like to go, but for one reason or another they're unable to. Okay, so you need to realize there are people out there who would do that...people right in this room. You're not being sensitive to those people who don't have the opportunity to do that for one reason or the other..."

Video is here: http://operationyellowelephant.blogspot.com/2005/08/touchy-feely-college-republicans.html

So in a nutshell we progressives are a bunch of insensitivie meanies to these warmongering repukes who talk the talk but refuse to walk the walk!

Just like with Delay...

I'm terribly sorry for not understanding the agony of flat feet.

Oh wait - my husband, a soldier, has flat feet.

2. Great video, however...
...I wish they'd have picked someone more assertive than the guy they picked to hand out these recruitment flyers. When Mr."You Need To Be More Sensitive" got in his face the guy seemed to turn to jello. He didn't even ask--at least not that I could hear--for the guy to tell him one of the "reasons" that these young Republicans were unable to serve in Iraq.
