Dems Hiss GOP Punch Line (You'll never believe what the girlymen are whining about NOW...!)

John Freakin' Kerry (the MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE) should remember that Timothy McVeigh served in the military and was honorably discharged, but I wouldn't vote for him for President!

I don't believe Timothy McVeigh is eligible to run since he is dead. Only the Democrat dead can run (and vote)

"Hiss? Wasn't he a Democrat?"

Something about being on Stalin's payroll?

Too bad we don't have access to Ho Chi Minh's payroll records.

LOL

[Alissa]

Anyone notice how you cannot criticize the Vietnam War, but you can trash the war we are fighting today? Something is wrong with this picture!

"I think it's despicable," Cleland said. "It seemed the impact, or the intent [of the comment], was to say, 'Hey, I'm a Vietnam veteran and that's my main qualification to be President.'"

Hey Cleland, you ignorant lib dimbulb, ain't that been the stinkin' message for the last 6-7 months?

Thats all I've heard, to the point of nausea.

"Sorry Cleland,sorry Kerry.I applaud service to our country,but it does not mean you deserve to lead this nation.You hated the war,Kerry, and take every opportunity to mention your service.HYPOCRITE"

Since I also had a tour in Nam, maybe I should throw my hat in the ring. After all, that service should qualify me, right? Well said, MEG33.

[MEG33]

You would make a much better candidate I'm sure than Kerry.Thank you for serving our country.

[Reaganesque]

I was just thinking. The Republicans are known as the GOP, right? The Grand Old Party. Given the incessant whining coming from the left, I propose we refer to the Democratic Party as the POP. The Perpetually Offended Party. Has a nice ring, doesn't it?

[sinkspur]

I love it. The Bush administration has gone right to ridicule.

When a man can be ridiculed, believeably, the American people will never vote for him for President.

[StriperSniper]

could these weepy whiners possibly be any more effeminate

LOL! A caller that was just on C-SPAN called the Senate(both parties) 'Ovarian Men'.

[RedEyeJack]

Following the War Between the States many politicians ran for years on the basis of their service. Most apparently were true heroes (Joshua Chamberlain, for example). What we have with the Democrats this is is a very poor attempt to follow that model, known as "waving the bloody shirt".

Kerry's wounds were superficial and as best I can tell from what I have read he probably wrote his own award recommendations. His arch defender, a "bloody shirt" waver cum laude, former Senator Cleland, for whom I have much sympathy, was not injured engaging the enemy but from accidental circumstance and an apparent lack of basic situational awareness. He did not receive a Purple Heart for his wounds as I understand it. (Wonder how he really feels about Kerry's 3 PH's?).

Between them they are making way too much of the thirty year old events in which they were involved. As a Viet Nam era Vet (Two ARG Alpha pumps off the coast) with many, many friends who have multiple PH's earned the "hard" way, I resent both of them acting so proud of their service... Cleland, I feel sorry for, he had had a serious physical struggle all his life (I have met him and talked to him and remember him as a kind and generous person long before he became a Senator) but he chose to be a Democrat and to vote for their socialist, anti-defense agenda as a Senator. Kerry is just a arrogant poseur and an opportunist who got nominated because he was the least wacko in a field of losers.

'I lost 3 million jobs

They're going to get creamed in the debates. There are two or three million more jobs now than when Bush took office. So if he lost three million in the recession, that means he has created five million jobs in the last year.

The dems are using million man math.

[demkicker]

Kerry and Cleland are Yada Yada Yahoos!

[MEG33]

You have every right to criticize either war,just don't be the hypocrite about it that Kerry is.

He needs to emphasize his association with the Jane Fonda,Winter Soldier investigation and use his testimony accusing his comrades in arms of widespread atrocities,torture,rape and dismemberment.

He compared them to the rampaging hordes of Ghengis Khan.Then he glorifies his service.He ought to also recall that his testimony was used to taunt our POWs.

" "When you trash one of my fellow Vietnam veterans ... you're trashing me and my 3.5million fellow veterans who [served]."

You mean like when you call my fellow Vietnam veterans WAR CRIMINALS?

BAM! Beautiful, Barry-Bonds-style, steroid-induced home run! Bravo! How I wish somebody would've been there to drop that on Cleland!

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I love it. The Bush administration has gone right to ridicule.

110% correct. In refusing to allow the 'Rats to "frame" the terms of debate, by playing along with their tired, played-out "oh-look-how-you-offended-me-just-now-you-big-mean-brute-you!" routine: they're taking C.S. Lewis' ages-old advice, re: handling Satan.

To wit: "The Devil is proud, and cannot bear to be mocked." :)

[cold_dead_fingers]

Since the Dems are technically an older party, you could refer to them as the Perpetually Offended Older Party (POOP).

[TontoKowalski]

Hiss? Wasn't he a Democrat?

You're thinking about Hess, Rudolph Hess.

And yes, he was a Democrat.

[MEG33]

Bravo!.. and thank you for serving our country.
