You tipify the liberal mindset of suckling from the pap of society without bothering to contribute to its development and growth.

What's interesting about that is if you look at the US Senate, more Democrats (generally liberal) served their country in the military than Republicans. Why is that?

I'll tell you why. They can talk the talk, but they can't walk the walk. Just call them "chicken hawks".

Are we talking John "Rice Sack" Kerry caliber of service? Or are we talking about John McCain caliber of service?

Between Kerry and Cleland, I wouldn't be bragging about who served and who didn't.

John Kerry being one of them. You do know how he served his country, don't you? By meeting with the North Vietnamese during a time of war. By associating with Communist groups. By "earning" three Purle Hearts in, like, two days - including nominating himself for one of them after being turned down by his commanding officer.

By publicly lying and selling out his comrades, EVEN AS THEY WERE BEING TORTURED AND KILLED.

You're pathetic. As is he.

Easy - democrats on average are older, more were 'of age' back when there was a draft.

Next...

Why is what? Your assertion is false.

I just tallied it up and out of 100 Senators, 11 dems have some military experience and 11 Republicans.

None of the women have military experience. I suppose now you'll argue percentage, but the difference would be so small when one considers the shifting dynamics as elections bring changes, it is foolish to make such an outlandish generalization.

Your assertion is strange, in addition to false. It entails looking at one narrow aspect of the background of a person and declaring it the single issue to judge by. What nonsense.

Notice you're the one casting aspersions here on who served and who didn't. Not us.

I'll go by the military who is serving and how they regard the administration the serve under and how they respect their commander-in-chief. They love and respect President Bush.

So what's your point?

Did you serve your country?

Bull pucky.
More Democrats think that having served instantly grants them license to go wherever they want without regard for their character.
Republicans generally don't try to use their service as a free ride ticket.
