GREAT open letter to Cindy on VetVoice.com!
From Navy Blue Wife in response to Cindy's vile comment that "the day that Sen. Obama decided to cast a vote to not fund my son when he was serving sent a cold chill through my body."

Dear Cindy,
I noticed that you are now in the passenger seat on the Smear Talk Express when it comes to our military. Shame on you!

snip

Let ME talk straight to you since it appears the Smear Talk Express has lost more than one wheel.

Your husband tried this same FALSE attack against Obama in the first presidential debate. And he FAILED miserably when Obama came back with the smackdown.

An estimated 55 million people watched this debate, and they all saw this scare tactic FAIL. Were you paying attention? After all, YOU WERE IN THE AUDIENCE.

But Cindy, let me ask you a few things, blue star family to blue star family.

-----------------------
Did you get a cold chill when your husband FLAT OUT REFUSED to support the new GI Bill?

Did you get a cold chill when your husband was voting AGAINST troops' safety equipment for Iraq and Afghanistan on 3 separate occasions?

Did you feel even a cool breeze when your husband opposed mandatory downtime for our troops instead of continuing the endless swinging door of war theater tours?

Did you feel even a slight shiver when your husband voted LOCK STEP with Bush on invading Iraq and starting a war that had NOTHING to do with 9/11?

Do you feel anything knowing that 4,181 troops have been killed and 30,702 have been injured to date in Iraq and Afghanistan?

And did you even feel when your husband talked about staying in Iraq for a hundred years, risking hundreds of thousands of more troops lives?

1. K&R These people don't seem to have any shame at all.
You'd think with family out there fighting in this disgrace of a war, they would have a little better grasp on the situation.

6. The McCains are lifers who see war- any war- as a way to earn promotions
and therefore war is "good".

Mercifully that mindset is not the mindset of all those serving in the military. Just the lunatic fringe.

2. This is really a moving plea
from a woman who lives with McCain's lies every day. Her emotion is raw and real. I wish her and all Blue Star Families good luck, and love, and most of all Peace. K&R! :dem:

4. I wish VetVoice would speak out against SR636 commercials

These commercials are all over California.

ETA: They are anti-Obama commercials couched in a resolution thanking the Surge Veterans.

9. Do you really like her? I find her creepy.
Maybe I've just seen her too much here in AZ to think much of her.
