"I think I'm getting that "sometimers" disease.Sometimes I remember, and sometimes I don't! LOL."
Tis called living in America in the twenty first century with a bunch of detracting goons from the left. Hang in there.

" The media and dims talk about how the R's are "besmirching" a war hero.What nonsense.Have you heard them even mention the fact that Duncan Hunter is a Vietnam combat veteran? "

Last night the scumbags on the Democrat side of the aisle ( and it was more than one person ) hissed and booed when the chair asked that Sam Johnson, a Vietnam POW for 7 years- be given an 3 extra minutes to finish his speech.
I think the past year and especially the last few months have finally driven a stake into that ridiculous notion that " Democrats support the troops."
Democrats support Al Queda, is more like it.
Joe Lieberman is the only Democrat who understands the WOT and has respect for the military.

Considering we have disposed of two authoritarian governments, allowed 50 million people to create a new constituion, knocked off the 5th largest military in the world on their home turf, enabled free elections, prevented Libya from securing nukes, rebuilt large amounts of infrastructure including schools, electricity, oil wells, medical facilities and more. All this with the loss of less than 10,000 Coalition livesl is nothing short of Amazing. Mistakes? God, I hope we continue to fail so successfully.

Perhaps no one thought to ask them which troops they supported?

Interestingly, the press is giving a pass to all of the liberals I hear saying that there is something about the Iraqi people that makes it impossible for them to grasp the concept of and live under a deomcratic govt. In a different circumstance, if a conservative said that we would be called racists.

Some people's idea of bravery is to call someone else a chickenhawk.

Good afternoon.
"Have you heard them even mention the fact that Duncan Hunter is a Vietnam combat veteran?"

I watched all of the discussion and I was struck by how many Republican reps are former Infantry, Ranger, or Airborne.

It made me feel warm and fuzzy knowing they are on our side, though being a vet is not necessarily an indication of intelligence and high moral standards.

Good afternoon.
"Murtha is either senile, or Pelosi and the Dem leadership made some big promises to get him to speak out like this."

Don't forget all those FBI files.

1. The instant, I first heard the phrase "Chicken Hawk", I immediately recognized it as a moronic logical fallacy.

2. Anyone who uses this phrase (or the associated assertion) in an argument, self identifies themselves as either an idiot or a liar.

3. When you catch a liberal using this, you can and should make a total fool of them.

4. Since this is part of the left's catechism you should have plenty opportunities.

5. If possible humiliate the liberal in front of as many witnesses as possible.

I saw that portion with Sam Johnson.

For the Democrats to think that their juvenile vileness whould have any effect on a man such as Sam, is all the proof I'll ever need of the vacumn between their ears and the hollowness of their hearts.

Sam, as we would expect, showed dignity and honor in the way he handled it.To him,they were as insignificant as a fly buzzing past.

God forbid a man as vain and self-promoting as General George A. Custer would have become president in 1776 as he planned to do.

George A. Custer 1839-1876

Now just how did Custer plan to do this since he died 100 years after 1776?

The Rookies

.

When it comes to pulling congressional stunts,

We can see who are champs and who are the runts.

Team captains like Reid and those other fool wusses

Are like Nagin in N'awlins: they missed their own busses.

.  

By the time they discover that they're in a rout,

The game is all over, the team bus has pulled out.

So their players are outraged, Pelosi is pissed,

The only Marine that they like has been thoroughly dissed.

.  

And while Republican players are smirking and gloating,

Second-string Kerry decries Murtha's Swift-boating,

A stunt that got John boy kicked out of the game,

By proving his play stats were doctored and lame.

.  

It hurts to admit it, but here's the straight skinny:

One honest Dem player is Cynthia McKinney,

Who true to her heart, which is Red to the core,

Voted boldly but badly to cut and run from this war.

.  

While her timorous teammates who trash-talked so loud,

When faced with the game play, got lost in the crowd.

The Dems' rookie captains are showing fatigue;

Will their fans ever see they're playing out of their league?

....................

I think the entire Murtha episode shows how naive, inept and desperate the Dems have become. They apparently chose Murtha to make the pull-out statement confident that his decorations made him immune to criticism.
Murtha might be any number of things, including stupid. I think he was talked in to taking one for the party since he probably won't run again. If this is true where are his values?
