We apparently have our share of Freepers here in Sheboygan too.
Lady, here's a quarter. Buy a frikkin' clue!

Letters: We shouldn’t criticize president in wartime

I was very disturbed by a letter sent recently to the editor about the Bush administration being phony with visuals.

She talks about how hard the Clinton administration and herself worked to send out a positive message to the nation, and how accurately it worked. Well, I have to admit, the main image I still see is of him on my TV screen literally telling a lie to our country during his impeachment trial. But that is in the past.

Right now I don’t see how it is a good thing to slam our president during a war that is not finished. Maybe if we weren’t being shown so many stories about Gitmo and Abu Graib or Dick Durbins’ speech to the Senate, we could see some stories of progress that has been made. Yes, there has been some progress.

We are also not shown visuals of our president visiting with families of deceased soldiers. Also, our soldiers have been polled as to who they want to be their leader. Overwhelmingly, 3-1, they choose Bush. They are the ones taking the bullets for us. So why can’t we trust them and let them finish the job with dignity?

Many of them are very proud of what they are doing for their country and Iraq. I’m sure they don't mind that one of the turkeys at the Thanksgiving table was plastic. They will always remember the children and their families that they have helped and that is a good thing.

It’s easy to scrutinize a president during a lengthy war with many deaths, but how is it helpful to your fellow country men and women?

1. My answer in the form of a Google search:

Your search - "president visiting with families of deceased soldiers" - did not match any documents.
Suggestions:

- Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
- Try different keywords.
- Try more general keywords.

"...on my TV screen literally telling a lie to our country..."

That's funny, that's the exact same image I have of Bush!

3. AHA! So there was a method to his madness after all.....

Start a (phony) war so no one can criticize him.

Sheer brilliance.

4. Maybe there are a few more liberal/progressives in Sheboygan itself,

but out here in the boondocks (about 9 miles SW of Plymouth), they're rather difficult to find. I am not at all surprised with the LTTE. There are a lot of 'them' in this area.

I do not discuss politics with friends or relatives. Keeps me sane and out of prison.

Hello :hi: Hello :hi:

5. perfect bush 'war' (w/out a real enemy)

and with a liarmedia eager to pretend anything that makes the bushpig look good...pandering to 1/2 wits who get their ideas from tea leaves and chicken innards or fox'news' or images burnt in slices of toasted bread...

6. I thought the Bush admin didn't release the totals of the soldier's vote?

but, i could be wrong

7. There was some NON ANONYMOUS poll, I think it was in Stars and Stripes

or something, skewed towards officers and senior enlisted/NCO that had results favoring the shrub. That's the only thing I've heard of.

If you recall, a lot of overseas military votes were "filtered" through central collection sites overseas or actually allowed to be faxed (!), so I have little confidence in the legitimacy of those...
