Washington has a way of quickly acculturating people, especially those who are most susceptible to derangement by the derivative dignity of office. But Jim Webb, Democratic U.S. senator-elect from Virginia, has become a pompous poseur and an abuser of the English language before actually becoming a senator.
I didn't know anything about the organization she belongs to. I was defending her right to protest. I still do.
Bless you, Celeste Zappala. Your son fought and died for your right to protest a failed Secretary of Defense receiving an award. You are in my prayers.
You might as well have been cheering on Jane Fonda. In fact, you did with your vote for Jim Webb.
Yes, I was supporting her. I've told you I didn't know about her organization. I still support her right to protesst. And, if he's not a failed SecDef, he'd still be there.
So you support a failed SeDef nice...
Not to mention a number of Freepers who thought his insolence toward the president was just fine, because after all, "he has a son in combat"...sort of like Cindy Sheehan has absolute moral authority.
I agree we should be seeking another approach in Iraq - and apparently departing Secretary Rumsfeld feels the same way.
Thanks, Semper, and thanks for your service.
They were thinking, "Hey, let's vote out a truly good man."
I don't buy it that you don't know what kind of person would go out and protest Rumsfeld. You've been around FR too long to not know better. You used to join us in protesting them. Now, you vote for them.
Good point. Bush can't win no matter what he does.
Are you calling me a liar, Kristinn?
Yes, Boss Hogg. Thanks.
Problem is that only 10% served and have the "moral authority" to criticize those who did serve and are flaming socialists. The rest of us were fighting the communists right here at home.
Notice how the MSM only finds military vets who agree with them as having moral authority. Senator Dole or our President who served in the ANG never get that type of hands off treatment.
Ann Coulter nailed this in her book, how they give people who agree with them Sainthood and the rest are Wearing Hoods.
Pray for W and Our Troops
We all know that, except for you, apparently.
Enough of the assumptions and cheap shots.
I saw a thread where a mother of a fallen son who was exercising her constitutional right to protest. You've made an accusation. Have the courage to withdraw it or answer the question.
I wondered why Allen's Jewish heritage was made an issue. Now I understand. The Dems are playing an increasingly dirty game.
You're the one who voted to turn over the Senate to Ted Kennedy, John Kerry (who served in Cambodia), Hillary Clinton and James Webb. You're the one blindly supporting a leader of the anti-American left. I have nothing to apologize to you for.
What has gotten in to you? (that's rhetorical)
You couldn't have made a more feeble attempt at changing the subject - - all of which is BS. I expected more.
See ya.
There are now two Virginias...NOV and ROV...Northern Virginia (government trough dwellers and hangers on) and the Rest of Virginia. Here in Chesterfield County we went for Allen although a fair number of the consequence-challenged went for Webb.
