Remember on Tuesday evening when I said, "What are our troops thinking, watching this election?"

Now we know.

Worth your time and thought...

Aaron:
I and probably most people on this forum did everything we could to prevent this from happening. I went and voted the straight ticket, RINOs and all, to keep the Demoncrats from getting control. We are in a war on the home front here, too, although we're not being shot at yet. We're up against entrenched evil in the form of scum like Kennedy, Kerry, and the other Demons. A petition has been sent to the Justice Dept. requesting that Kerry be prosecuted for treason for his actions during the Vietnam era. The case is strong, but the Dept. refuses to act, just as they did nothing meaningful about Sandy Burglar. We need an Administration which realizes this war has a fifth column, and acts against domestic treason, an Administration which will crush malicious leaks of classified information, etc. We don't have that. We understand your anger; we're angry too.

[Quix]

FAR TOO TRUE for any comfort.

[The South Texan]

To our Men and Women over there,

We here on FR have your back. Their are a bunch of us in this country that will not let the Liberals spit in your faces like they did to your predecessors that came back from Vietnam. I will personally punch someone and go to jail if I ever saw someone do that to an American Solider.

Again, CONSERVATIVE America has your back. The Moderate and Liberals are the Spaghetti spines.

This week I am NOT proud to say that I am an American..........I think it is obvious why...

Well, this is the only statement I don't see eye-to-eye with. I will NEVER be ashamed to be an American. I don't care who's in charge of what.

[PISANO]

Tragic..........deja vu for me and many on this board circa 68'. I can't believe my country did this to their Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines......AGAIN!!!

Aaron is correct. We are a nation of wimps! We don't deserve our troops respect.

I posted several responses yesterday about the real losers in the election and I will reiterate it here today.

Our Troops' morale was gut punched today and we slapped them in the face with our votes!! It is almost surreal for me because I feel exactly like I did in the late 60's and early 70's. I don't have the words to express my utter disgust for the American people who did this to our troops in a time of war!!

I am just plain sick with sadness for our men and women......OVER THERE!!

[ilovew]

I promise it's not over. The good guys can still prevail. President Bush won't allow the dems to cut and run. He's still in charge.

heart breaking ping.

Some of us tried, cp124. Really we did.

God bless you and please keep safe.

[BeHoldAPaleHorse]

Amen.

Beautifully expressed. Thank you for this posting.

POWERFULL words from someone who knows. We know and we gave it our best but there were others, ... they are described all to well in the soldiers letter, that just don't give a damn!

[R_Kangel]

I heard a couple of soldiers on talk radio on the way home from work about a half hour ago basically say the same thing. I had to pull over to the side of the road and take a few deep breaths for a few moments.

Because too many people were so busy using this election as a stupid political chess game that we forgot about the human cost.

My lord, we let our men and women in uniform over there down.

[do the dhue]

I support the Troops and the Iraqi people who voted for a hope and a future. I am damn proud of them all.

I am ashamed of the media and the Demorats. We lost 2,700 intrepid Troops in 4 years. We lost almost half a million in four years of WWII. 2,700 Marines and Sailors lost their life in the first 2 and a half days of fighting on Iwo Jima. I went to Gettysburg this summer. I stood on ground that soaked the blood of 2,500 NY Calvary in one day. They told us we would lose 10,00 going to Baghdad.

I think our brave young men and women have done a great job for being in the heart of a land that hates us and burns our flag. I am proud of them. I think our media and the Demorats owe our Troops an apology.

Our Troops should remain proud of what they are doing. I know I am.

[Doctor Don]

As a Viet Nam veteran I understand his comments. Take heart! I'm not worried. It is still true that...God is on His throne and prayer changes things. God can and does use pagans to accomplish His purposes. Watch and see.....the next 2 years are going to be pivotal in history.

[beckysueb]

I understand how you feel because thats the way we feel. We spread your message as far and wide as we could. You and your comrades were the first reason we gave to the folks when we asked them to vote Republican. Believe me Aaron, I am as disgusted with some of my fellow Americans as you are. My husband and I and all of our immediate family voted straight Republican. My husband is a VietNam vet. He is very concerned about whats going on in American politics. We are going to win back the house and senate for you guys in 08!

President Bush has been demoralized by constant pounding from the left and the media. He seems to be in a state of shock. I don't think he thought this could happen. I hope he snaps out of it soon cause he still has a country to run. He can get alot done before January when the traitors take office.

God bless you, Aaron. We love and appreciate you so much!

[Mike Darancette]

The troops should come home now, our young heroes should only fight when they are allowed to win. To fight so that you can withdraw at a date certain is not winning.

[grcuster]

Don't fret none. I know we lost this battle and from being from a long line of family combat veterans and also a veteran of Desert Storm, I know my family won't let the Marines, Soldiers, Sailors, and Airman down. I still remember the day my Father returned from Viet Nam and it was not a pleasant site to see and I will be fit to be tied to see this happen again. Keep the faith knowing that you all are in our prayers and we will win this war.

[jbarkley]

I went out and voted, yet I feel so sad reading this.

I'm sorry that some self-absorbed "conservatives" were more worried about themselves than our finest and bravest.
