Hearsay, of course. We called that kind of soldier a "sham artist" or "skater" as I recall. That still doesn't nullify the fact that he won the Democratic primary and is still their candidate! LOL

McCain was a terrible naval aviator too, but no one much cared when his daddy and granddaddy were admirals.

“But I think he is a smart person. I asked him why he didn’t go to Officers Candidate School since he has a bachelors degree [from the University of South Carolina] and he answered, ‘Why would I do that since that would require more work?’ After he said that I realized what he was doing. He was being very lazy and working the system to get by. Even though it’s obvious that he suffers from some kind of mental illness, I have worked with people that suffer from alcoholism to bipolarism and they would put more effort into what they did during their day to day life then he ever did

Pretty much a text book Democrat...What’s the Problem???

I find it incredibly interesting that the dims have resorted to contesting their own elections.

I almost wish Greene would defeat DeMint in the general election.

Can you imagine the eyes of the world being focused on Rep. Alvin Greene (Dem)?

He make Cynthia McKinney look professional.

The only reason he won was because he’s black and black voters will vote for anything, no matter how dumb, that shares their skin color. I think this has gotten worse since the election of Obama, actually (who obviously needed a lot of white guilt votes to get elected, too, since he had nothing substantive to offer to people of any race), because I think a lot of blacks may not be that happy with him and feel that they therefore have to be even more defensive and make sure they only “vote black.”

A sad state of affairs. But the Dems have spent every waking moment since the 1960s cultivating this racial obsession among blacks because they felt it would help the Dem party...and now it’s come back to bite them.

haha, we are dealing with a 1st lt like this except he is coherent. got fired from 2 jobs in Iraq, keep bouncing him arond to different positions until one was found that didn’t matter if he screwed it up. we are praying he never gets any command time. My guess his airforce “intelligence” stint didnt last very long.

Actually, that sounds perfectly reasonable to me!

Still spent more time in uniform than most of those flag-burning DemoKKKrat bedwetters who want to lynch his candidacy.

(said by ‘x’) ““I guess he had nothing better to do. I don’t think he was put up to this. I think he just did it to do it.” “

The AMERICAN DREAM.

That's pretty telling. Greene saw OCS as too much work, then ran for the Senate.

Has Greene proposed pouring Brawndo in the Gulf to clean up the oil spill?

Maybe. There's also the fact that his name appeared in the RAT column. The voters obviously didnt know who this guy was but they sure knew what column he was in.

So what ‘x’ is saying is that Greene was behaving THEN, like Obama is NOW.
