ZOT!!
This is a misleading list.
Wow, talk about cherry-picked.
It's interesting that they all served when there was a draft.
Volunteers tend to be republican. That's why the dems try to block the military vote.
"George W. Bush: failed to complete his six-year National Guard; got assigned to Alabama so he could campaign for family friend running for U.S. Senate; failed to show up for required medical exam, disappeared from duty."
Wrong!
Where is George H. W. Bush?
When over 70% of the military votes republican, why is this list relevant? It simply shows how out of touch these dems are with their former colleagues. Why are these listed people democrats? Are they traitors?
this one has been going around for years now.........nothing to see, please move on..........
And all the Democrats have turned spineless
coward traitors with no stamina, political,
military, or otherwise...much less courage.
They rail like shrieking harpies at the thought
of having to act like men, and defend even their
own, from those that seek to take all our lives.
Dimocraps are worse than useless...they are a
knife at the back of any good american. They
prefer to be simpering perverts, and suck up
to their enemies, until they are butchered
Bill Clinton dodged the draft. He was not deferred. He was later pardoned by Carter.
Ken Starr is a Democrat.
?
Where's Gen Eisenhower
Duke Cunningham
Samuel Johnson
John McCain
Duncan Hunter
The list goes on and on. Two of these guys were prisoners of war.
That crap about George Bush has been refuted several times.
Dan Rather was forced to reesign over the fake memo about it.
Where's Bob Dole?
Of course there is a list of republicans who served. But that is not the point.
BTW, When did Chris Matthews become a republican?
This list isn't worth discussion, but since it is here, notice that even with McCain they don't say he enlisted, or the years he served, like the do for the Democrats.
And they don't say that Bush signed up, or how long he served, just that he got out early -- but they say exactly what Kerry did, without saying he got out early.
But this is not a battle that we should even fight. We should reject the premise.
People who serve in the military should be honored FOR THEIR SERVICE. But having done so does not insulate you from criticism for subsequent acts. Chambliss didn't "question" Cleland's patriotism, he ran commercials truthfully pointing out Cleland's votes on the Homeland Security bill. A vote that Zell Miller said was unpatriotic, but heck, we can't control those crazy democrats.
BTW, this is a great point. The democrats always point to the 2002 election to say that Bush "questioned the patriotism" of Cleland by saying Cleland put the unions ahead of national security.
If that is "questioning patriotism", than it is clear that saying the President lied to get us into a war, putting his oil buddies ahead of 2000 dead soldiers, is most certainly "questioning HIS patriotism".
I don't think it is in either case, but the democrats insist they are not questioning anybody's patriotism.
Have you noticed how often the Democrats have to insist they are patriotic, even though nobody is saying they aren't? Guess they know the truth, and can't handle it.
He picked up this list and posted it.
Ha, ha, ha....Don't think our military is dumb. Just send them this list and let them comment on it, ok? Consider the state and where it's from.
And I betcha Illinois State Sen. Howard W. Carroll voted for him in 1992 over George H.W. Bush (Distinguished Flying Cross) and in 1996 over Bob Dole (2 purple hearts and bronze star).
Who Served? (Needs FReeper de-bunking)
Included this information:
Guess who else did not serve in the military? Former Illinois State Senator Howard W. Carroll (D-Chicago) who signed this letter. He has been either an elected or appointed politician his entire life. He graduated from Loyola University Law School in 1967 and spent his whole live serving in either the House or Senate of the Illinois state legislature.
It also had a web site that gives a list of all the former military people in congres. It is quite a list for both democrats and republicans.
What about Hitlery?
