Bush who spend his national guard duty "campaigning" instead of risking his life in Vietnam? These Repukes are all alike!

1. C H I C K E N H A W K S ......
His statement was a slap in the face to everyone who has lost a loved one while they served in the military when (who knew?) they could have been out campaigning instead.

Disgusting.

6. Question for the Mittster
Edited on Wed Aug-08-07 01:57 PM by sarge43
If any of his sons were derelict in their campaigning, did they face conviction of a federal offense and some quality time in one of Sugar's less than pleasant penal facilities?

(cue crickets)

Didn't think so.

7. How come the first Republican president
had his son serve during the Civil War? The people weren't too pleased that he waited until he graduated from Harvard, and he was blasted in the press for not enlisting sooner.

8. Yeah,
driving around Iowa is real dangerous. Those cow pies can explode at anytime and render you legless. Scary stuff, that campaigning.

And then there all that diner food. :scared: And shaking hands. :scared: :scared: Those boys are so brave to be taking on the insurgents of Iowa.

Someone give them medals of Freedom right now.

9. Does anyone else here think that statement deserves an official Democratic response?
This should be brought to the public's attention ASAP, and have a severe Democratic response attached to it.

I am still appalled by this. And horrified.

10. My husband (retired military, Nam vet) just said Mittster
should trot over to Walter Reed and repeat that tap dance for the amusement of the troops.
