"I'm sad for Duckworth's physical loss and for the emotional pain that is sure to come someday when she realizes she was used as a prop and pure political gain by the Democrats.

Except for Sestak, who CNO Mike Mullen relieved of command, none of the military vets the Dems are running have the credentials or experience to live up to the expectations of the voters that the Democrats have oversold. "

WELL SAID.

They are all props. The Victim-Card props - Michael J Fox, Duckworth, Sheehan, etc. .. the Democrats are a party of victims and dependents.

I wouldnt assume a junior grade officer or below cant be a good politician. Bob Dole was just an infantry man. However, using the uniform as a cover for very nasty, divisive and defeatist foreign policy prescriptions is poison to our political climate. It's a non-verbal way of doing to the troops what Kerry did this past week.

Whew!

"Olbermann said that no one could criticize Duckworth about anything because she lost her legs in the war.'

But it's OK for Kerry to call everyone of those souls memorialized on the wall, stupid.

Hey, the National Organization for Women didn't endorse Kathryn Harris. In fact, I bet they support Nelson! Think that'll make AP?!

A man convicted of bribery, impeached and thrown off the bench, is the best the rats can find to chair the Intelligence Committee in the House of Representatives of the United States Congress. That is beyond shameful.

But the Republicans on the campaign trail don't even mention this amidst all the rat cries about a handful of corrupt Republicans who either stepped down or are drummed out by their own. But what do rats do with their corrupted members and child molesters? They elect them to congress and place them in charge of vital committees. What Republican on the stump has even mentioned the rats' plan to place an impeached judge convicted of bribery in charge of such vital and sensitive information? For the right price from the Iranians, Hastings would sell our country out, but not a word from the Republicans about this.

I don't know about the rest of your list, but Benedict Arnold died some thirty years before the rat party was formed.

Never mind, rfp, I thought I replied to you instead of Doctor Raoul, but I see I replied twice to him instead of to each of you.

I think I'll give up for the time being, lol! :>

NO...remember Max Cleland??

Do you ever notice every time a democrat is critical of the military, they trot out (oops! I meant roll out) Max Cleland to defend the scoundrel. This move is listed on page 14, paragraph 3, of the democrat playbook. Doesn't Max get tired of being the go to guy for this.

That was a joke...they were all veterans, that was what they had in common.

Boy, do we miss Lee Atwater. Fight fire with fire, I say.
If either house is lost Tuesday, a change in strategy is in order. The rats will have to be exposed beginning January 2007, not a few days before the 2008 election.

Since the administration or the GOP won't do it, it will be up to FR and its allies.

Has anybody had some local polls on this race?

I am really concerned about it since I just saw a Zogby poll that shows her up 13 points.

13 points...that is even outside the range of liberal poll bias.

We could lose this seat, very easily. In fact, if that poll is anywhere close to right, we have lost it.

Zogby, raghead that he is, has a terrible track record in the polling business.

But I realize he's doing his best to help his Islamobrethren.

And the VFW Cooties passed out BU11$hit protector ear covers for when JF'nK spoke.

At the dedication of the WWII Memorial in Washington, JF'nK was attempting to shake hands of WWII Veterans for a photo-op. The Veterans retracted their hand, and crossed their arms when JF'nK approached. Suddenly a pseudo-veteran from JF'nK's staff donned an unlabeled Veteran's cap, and ran around to shake JF'nK's hand for the cameras. At that point I realized what a phony JF'nK really was.

BTW, Senator Robert Dole was surrounded by a crowd of well-wishers at the same event.
