It's Duckworth who has some splainin to do. She trashed the President and by extension her fellow troops. Said we ought not be in this war, that the money should have been spent on health care and education.

Getting wounded does not give you dispensation from the FACTS.

[Uriah_lost]

Service should be honored but should never, ever be a guaranty of an endorsement....hell, how many criminals were veterans? Should we send them all to elected office too?

[darkwing104]

Two words "John Kerry"

[TexasTransplant]

>>>>>""They should be ashamed of themselves," he said. "They have some explaining to do to their members."<<<<<<

Mayb thay shuld have jon cary esplain et four them.

[sittnick]

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

[Txsleuth]

Okay...this is the "vet card"...right??

If she wants to come home and join the party of cut and run, which would effectively make the loss of her legs for NOTHING...she shouldn't expect the rest of the vets to back her..

[rocksblues]

Sen. Bob Kerrey, a veteran who lost a leg in Vietnam. "They should be ashamed of themselves," he said. "They have some explaining to do to their members."

So according to Senator Bob a veteran should be endorsed even if they are running as a sheeple cut and run Democrat.

Bob did you vote for George 41, did you vote for Bob Dole?

[Jezebelle]

I am so sick and tired of the rats dragging these haters out of the woodwork simply because they have a sad story/injury/tragic loss, etc..

[msnimje]

Just because a person loses their legs means they would be a good congress critter?

[CPT Clay]

VFW is Right

[Doogle]

...it's the democrats who should be ashamed of themselves for harking the "sympathy" vote. See in this case it's clear, you either vote or support "our" legless candidate
or your shameful
(another rat technique they don't want exposed)

The VFW has an obligation to it's members to support the candidate who is most likely to share their values and to represent and protect their interest. I strongly suspect that the endorsement was predicated on a careful examination of these matters.

[Texas_Jarhead]

Since when do Dims care a wit about the VFW? Answer, since they saw an opportunity to attack.

[EDINVA]

how often have they endorsed her fellow-vet, Jon Carry ?

He DID serve in Vietnam, ya know!

[Argus]

Has anybody sent a dinghy out to his yacht to get John Kerry's reaction? I'm sure he'd like to weigh in.

[rottndog]

"They should be ashamed of themselves," he said. "They have some explaining to do to their members."

So, the VFW should endorse a veteran, regardless of the fact that she is actively undermining the troops she used to fight with?

Bob Kerry, John Kerry, they should all just STFU!

[Minus_The_Bear]

Hey Bob, war criminals need to STFU!

[middie]

My very short tenure with both the VFW and American Legion taught me that they both are comprise of beer-gut prone inveterate bar stool occupants who know every condemnatory fact regarding politics, foreign policy and how to run the U.S. government. That, along with skewed memories of the past and not at all reluctant to tell the world how they alone saved a battle, captured a battalion of enemy, won the war (at least one that we really won) while slugging down beers and peanuts, yet, they contribute nothing of worth to the social structure or contemporary debate. Each month my mail contains entreaties to re-join to save the nation while implying in not too subtle terms that there must be something sinister about my not wanting to be among that bunch of dead weights.

Instead, it has been rewarding to serve the USO at a nearby airport to welcome and chat with young kids and mid-level officers who stop in to await their flight and contribute dollars to an organization with real life rather than the smell of stale beer and feigned bravado.

[WalterSkinner]

..Max Cleland was also wrong on the issues and should not be in office.

Liberals are shameless.

[isthisnickcool]

as well as national figures such as former Sen. Bob Kerrey, a veteran who lost a leg in Vietnam...

Bob Kerrey: "What's you names!!?? I want the names of everyone on this thread!"
