1. There..

needs to be a MAJOR attack on our troops over between now and election day. I'm talking 500+ dead. It would be tough, but like some say about Hiroshima, it would save lives in the end if it would help Kerry get elected.

2. Get out of here

I don't know if you're a freeper or not but that's just unconscionable.

3. I'm not

saying I want it to happen, but it would encapsulate (sp) the insanity of this war. Besides, it would no doubt get Kerry in office

4. You are sick

Wishing American Dead to get Kerry elected...Kerry would not accept or want that event to happen. You are one sicko.

When I post these daily numbers here I'm saddened to see them increase...when are you joining up with the Bush Brigade to fight the Iraqi freedom fighters?
