Frankie Mayo on "Buchanan/Press" hawking for Soldiers in Iraq's Needs!

[KoKo]

She sounded so sincere saying she's mailing heating/air-conditioning units to our troops in Iraq. She saying her son is over there and she's mailing "Christmas Trees" inspite of "religious concerns." She says the company that makes our soldiers boots are supplying the WRONG boots and they don't have "ripple soles" so she's trying to send the correct boots!

I'm think OMG! This woman is an ANGEL! She's exposing the "fraud" of Shrubby and his military support. She looks about 30 but she says she has a son over there.....she's got Buchanan and Press in a dither over how bad the troops are suffering for "lack of proper equipment."

She has me onboard....I check out the website she gives.....don't get anything but some "chatroom site." I then put her name in a "Google Search" and come up with this! Is she an angel or operative.....that's the question. A RUSH site comes up in "Google" under her name. Has Rush had a transformation after his "druggie" intervention.....or is Mayo for real? Any Rush listeners out there who know the truth of this?

Listen to Rush...
(…tell the amazing story of one American, Frankie Mayo, doing the extraordinary)
(…talk more about Frankie Mayo’s organization: www.operationAC.com)
(…talk about the overwhelming response to Frankie’s efforts and what it means)

12:10 PM ET BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

What I first want to focus on here is an unbelievable story. In addition to everything else that our troops face from the remnants of Saddam's regime, they face the searing heat in Iraq. Temperatures on some days have been recorded as high as 130 degrees. And this story started typically and innocently enough. A housewife in Delaware named Frankie Mayo has a son who's in Iraq, and he wrote her a letter describing the searing heat, describing the temperatures and the practically inhumane conditions that they all face, so she sent him a single air-conditioner. And that one act of sending her son in Iraq an air-conditioner has now changed her life, because since that air-conditioner arrived, Frankie Mayo has been deluged with requests from other troops for air conditioners, so Frankie Mayo got in gear. And she organized OperationAC.com to provide air conditioners to as many soldiers as possible. She's a former systems engineer, so she did a feasibility study, and she got a little support from the Home Depot and others to get the units, the air conditioners packaged for shipment.

Now, so far, she has successfully sent 400 air conditioners to the troops in Iraq. Now, let me ask you a question at this point. This is the United States of America. The most powerful nation on earth, the most prosperous nation on earth. At this point in the story, are you a little surprised that, with our defense budget being what it is, $300 billion with more being added on because of this war in Iraq, are you surprised to hear that an individual citizen is arranging for air conditioners to be sent to the troops in Iraq? I will admit that I was. But then I got to thinking about it, and after I thought about it, I said I'm not surprised. In fact, this is very typical, and, in fact, this is yet another great example of what we're always talking about on this program. If you wait for the government to take care of your needs, forget desires, if you're waiting for the government to take care of your needs, you're going to be waiting the rest of your life. The government just can't do it regardless of the amount of money we send them, regardless the size of the federal budget, the federal government simply can't take care of the needs of the citizens of this country. It's having a tough time taking care of the needs of its own troops in battle in combat in Iraq. So Frankie Mayo has sent over 400 air conditioners already to Iraq; she has over 500 additional units ready to be shipped, to make a total of just over 900 air conditioners sent to Iraq because of the acts of one American citizen.

1. A kick so the "reader challenged" have some time to digest this! Not Good

that this woman is out there, or she's an angel. Which?

[KoKo]

2. Another Kick for this.......what's up with Limbaugh and Mayo?

:kick:

[Ksec]

3. Bombs not AC

Money is wasted on star wars and such. How can they have any left over for the soldiers?

[KoKo]

4. But why is Mayo linked to Limbaugh when we have DU'ers here who are

trying to send supplies to our soldiers in Iraq? Why was she the feature on Dobbs or Williams tonight when she's a Limbaugh person?

We have sincere Dems worried about our troops in Iraq and they feature this person that is linked to Limbaugh? Please! what gives here??????

[Ksec]

5. We all know why..media is in the Repubs pocket

Its really sickening whats happened to media. No amount of persuasion seems to sink in to the corporate mindset. Repubs supposedly give them more money.

[karlschneider]

6. I'm afraid I can't make much sense of this. Why would anybody "mail" an

air-conditioner halfway around the world? They can be bought in Iraq, it would cost more to ship it than to buy it...and where would they plug the thing in, anyway? And how do you install an a/c in a tent? The amount of power to run 100 air conditioners that would cool off a couple hundred people would power one big one that could refrigerate a large building. And it isn't hot there now - it's almost winter there just like here.

This is a :wtf:

[KoKo]

7. Karl.......I posted this post and keep kicking it....because I have the

same questions! Why is this on Mega Cable tonight when there are so many flaws in Mayo's position. She sounded like a Dem...worrying about the troops being "deprived of equipment" they need and yet "Google" shows a link to Limbaugh?

I posted because of the inconsistency. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered. This whole thing is bizarre, and I think we Dems need to look at this as the "story...under the story" that's being reported. IOW, somthing is wrong with this picture!!!!

I agree with you.....

[KoKo]

8. Kick! Could someone tell me what's going on here? Why did Rush support

her! I feel this is an important story and I'm getting ho....hum....whatever.... There's something significant here but I cant get any help with my thoughts.....stamping foot....what's wrong with this. Woman tries to help troops with equipment which Dems know they lack....and Limbaugh takes up her cause?????

What.......??????????? :argh:

[KoKo]

9. Another Kick.....why doesn't anyone think this is important? Stamping

foot in my Thanksgiving Pie! (well, not really that exteme, but almost!)
