Saved for eternity ping.
Seems a bit unhinged to me.
Perhaps the Allen campaign should pay for him to have an open mike. Might hang himself.
George Allen would defeat Jim Webb if the election of U.S. Senate in Virginia were held today. That's the finding of a statewide News-7 poll conducted this week. This is the first SurveyUSA poll since Jim Webb won the Democratic nomination to face Republican incumbent George Allen.
SurveyUSA interviewed 1,200 Virginia adults Sunday through Wednesday of this week. Of them, 984 were registered to vote. Of them, 533 were judged to be "likely" voters. The breakdowns in "Survey Details" reflect likely voters.
Fifty-six percent of the likely voters said they'd vote for Allen. Thirty-seven percent said they'd vote for Webb.

Kerry had a bunch of medals too.
Exactly. The liberals believe that unless you personally have gone through what the liberal has, then your 1st Amendment rights are somehow nullified.
Jim Webb - your intemperate rhetoric is extremely damaging in a time of war. If you were running for office during World War II, would you have smeared FDR because FDR had no military background? As a former military officer, have you forgotten what it means to exhibit decency and professionalism in your personal conduct?
By their standard then, they have no right to criticize the Iraq War because they've not experienced what our military people have experienced in trying to fight on that front in the war on terror.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Any former soldier who thinks he can use his past service as a weapon has forgotten why he served to begin with.
Ed Rogers, a Republican strategist was on Hairball a few minutes ago...and Bob "Loser" Shrum was telling Chrissy how many "easy" wins over incumbent Reps the Dems would have this year...
George Allen being one of them...but, Ed Rogers seemed pretty sure that Allen would have no problem with Webb.
He even said that the Reps are glad that Webb won the primary, because the dems will spend A LOT of $$$ to get him elected..and lose it...LOL

But he probably wishes they hadn't.

True, Jim Webb was a hero. This doesn't mean that he can not be attacked on his views. I've really been disappointed with Jim Webb, he hasn't writen a good book in the last 15 years and his politics is a little wacky.
To be fair it's his campaign manager saying this, not Webb himself.
And Benedict Arnold was the hero of the Revolution. It didn't lessen or immunize his subsequent betrayal. While we can acknowledge and honor the service of any serviceman, it doesn't grant one lifelong immunity from criticism nor does it confer infallibility.
