Poll question: Are the Right Wingers Cowards?
Edited on Sat Jan-14-06 04:51 PM by stepnw1f
Seriously folks, they never aproach an issue honestly or transparently. They hide behind God, they wrap themselves in a flag they never fought for and give away their Freedoms out of fear.

That may explain the over-compensating of their tough guy act.

2. Republicans are fearless
Fearless in the face of Liberal Media Bias, fearlessly send other folks kids overseas, stand firm in the face of facts proving they're lying, corrupt and evil.

3. Yes, that's why Young Republicans dont join the military, just like their
chickenhawk leaders ~ and that's why they tolerate cowards, who went AWOL, as leaders. It assuages any guilt real heroes, like Murtha and Max Cleland, John Kerry, General Clark and all the other Democratic veterans who make them look like wimps. Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Ledeen, Feith, Condi, (what a cowardly crew) Rush, Coulter, Savage et al make them feel better about being cowards.

5. The leadership is certainly full of cowards,
but it is hard to make a case that rank and file republicans don't go to war when the leadership points that way. Take a look at the percentage of those within the military who voted for the chimp. (Twice) No, those folks certainly are willing to join the military. It is just that many who scream the loudest to sell wars are not willing in the least.
