After constantly praising the military experience of Wesley Clark and John Kerry and what a benefit it would be for them if they were elected President, all of a sudden a military background is a drawback. I`m shocked.

Neville Chamberlain: "Churchill's military background could be dangerous."

Hitler: "Well spoken Neville."

“hard time thinking beyond” the “world view shaped by” his military family upbringing, and also said it “can be pretty dangerous.” Harkin

It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)

Mr. niteowl77 (on Tom Harkin): "Everything is looked at from his life experiences, from always having been pals with communists, and I think that can be pretty dangerous."

Daniel Ortega, Hugo Chavez, Barack Hussein Mohammed Obama... Iowa's greatest living "I lied abut flying combat missions" pilot never met a red messiah he doesn't like.

"Washington, Teddy Roosevelt, Eisenhower...Very dangerous..."

Tyrants of history to the U.S. - "Oh yeah? You and whose Army?"

(Later): "Oh. THAT Army."

Yes, but...

Harkin rakes in the pork for his constituents.

As long as he does THAT, he can probably SAY ANYTHING and get away with it.

Not as dangerous as a radical Islamic upbringing.

Damn the torpedo's Johnny ... full speed ahead ... and under.


McCain wanted these Marxist socialists, while openly shunning the Constitutional conservatives.

He better be able to swim, because his "Straight Talk Express" is taking on water.

Harkin: "Everything is looked at from his life experiences, from always having been in the military, and I think that can be pretty dangerous."

He says that like it's a bad thing.

Harkin's take on the military is so bad that he's had to embellish and lie about his own military record on several occasions in laim attempts to gain votes......

Iowa, it's about time you sent Mr. Harkin home.....
