I wonder if voters will see through a rent a vet strategy.
Other vets that served with these rats are lining up to tell the truth about these dim "warriors". A dim (even a JAG lawyer rat) can't hide what he or she is. People serving with kerry knew, and TRUTH will once again win the day!

The appeal of Paul Hackett is that he's running against DeRino.
I am not kidding.
Hey Dims, actually try GETTING an agenda instead of dreaming up more stupid PR schemes to fool the voters. This one is particularly stupid. People who honor Military Service are going to be turned off listening to the trash talk Hate America Propaganda coming out of these "Vets" mouths.
Duckworth is their best???? She doesn't live in the district where she is running.
Any Swift Boat '06 groups forming against these people?
Luckily for our nation, the Howard Dean wing types of Democrats rarely serve our country. It's probably safe to say that those who do are one of the smallest special interest groups you can find in a unit or base. I only met a few in my Air Force career and observed that they were some of the most miserable people ever. Talking to them, you could almost swear they were draftees. Most said they joined to get training or money for college but I personally thought they were there as a fifth column.
Yup :)
Thankfully we have Kerry and Murtha as examples that just because someone is a veteran doesn't mean necessarily that they won't backstab their country.
Yep it's the Rent a Vet Program... After serving under five different CICs it was obvious that pay and readiness take a hit when a Dem is running the show. I see these guys as having sold their souls.
"A Democratic campaign aide in Washington, asked which veterans showed the most promise, listed two: Tammy Duckworth, in Ill.-6, and Patrick Murphy, in Pa.-8."
Five of these Democrat"Kamikazes" are crashing into GOP incumbents who won unopposed in 2004.
Forty six will be serving themselves up to keep the minority party from being without a candidate in races against Republicans who won with 60% or more ( 4 are in a primary to suit up and fly into a Republican aircraft carrier). Many of these Republican “targets” won with numbers in the 70s and one with 86%.
Of the twelve Iraq vets running under the anti war party’s banner just one, Bryan Lentz Pennsylvania 7 CD has had the courage to say we should pull out immediately. In fact of the total 56 "brothers" only 4, three men and one woman, including Lentz, have the stomach to stand up and demand an immediate pull out.
This means the other 52 are no different from the run of the mill socialist Democrat. Their websites call for welfare reform, protectionist job policies, repeal of the Patriot Act and of course more money for Education.
The winning margins for the incumbent Republicans the "pull out immediately" Kamikazes will be battling, ranges from 59% to 84%. How much courage does it take to yell “Pull out now!” in races like these? Why aren't the military veteran Democrats in the close races? Why aren’t the vets offered a chance to run against Republican incumbents who could conceivably be defeated?
The answers are obvious. The minority party is using these veterans. The Democrats don’t really care about these people. They are useful now, but for most,if not every single one, the day after Election Day will be very cold indeed.
These men and women have been recruited by the minority party to project a false image of Democrat strength and concern when it comes to keep America safe. How believable is this sham if they can find just 4 people willing to actually spout their anti war "pull out and surrender now!" line?
This whole project is just another example of how the democrats look at what drives voters. The Democrats think the messenger is more important than the message and they always have.
For the record, neither Duckworth, nor Murphy has found the courage to actually call for an immediate pull out.
Where’s the power in this strategy?
Someday America's black voters will realize this.
The article could be summed up:
DEMOCRATS WORRY THEY CAN'T QUITE HOLD VETERAN/CANDIDATES AS TIGHTLY TO THE FOLD (BY THE HUEVOS) AS NEEDED
Funny thing about those warriors. No matter where they come from, they have a sense of independence not seen often in the party of appeasers. This is going to be fun.
Duckworth lives in Melissa Bean's (D) district.
Bean lives in Mark Kirk's (R) district.
The guy running against Kirk lives in Hyde's (R) district, where Duckworth is running.
Is that legal?
