Great analogy and great points! Funny to boot!

Harkin Lied About Vietnam War Record

[CommerceComet]

US SEN Tom Harkin (SCUMBAG-IA) = coward, lowlife, dirtbag, garbage, trash, lib-dem filth, junk, crap, traitor, seditionist, saboteur, leftist, commie, socialist, hate-America, sodomy-supporter, homo-enabler, punk, etc. IMO

I STRONGLY DISAGREE. Those are facts, not opinion. ;-)

[do not press 2 for spanish]

AMENDMENT TO POST #14:

LIAR!

[popdonnelly]

“I think that can be pretty dangerous.”

Military service can make you run for office as a phony war hero, like Mr. Harkin did.

[do not press 2 for spanish]

I bow to your disagreement, Mr CommerceComet. I’ve also amended my Post#14, in Post #25, sir.

(;^O)

In fact, rather than doing his part to beat back global Communism, Harkin was actually an aider and abettor to Moscow’s cause.

Unnoted in today’s Journal report: In 1986 Harkin famously traveled to Managua, Nicaragua, to assure Fidel Castro’s proxy Daniel Ortega that Senate Democrats were working overtime to thwart President Reagan’s efforts to bring Democracy to the region.

With him on the mission - fellow peacenik Sen. John Kerry.

Nothing seems to have changed in 30 years....

He would’ve hated George Washington.

[Mr. Mojo]

Or Grant, or Ike, or Teddy Roosevelt......

[E. Cartman]

The lunatics really are running the asylum.

Would Adlai Stevenson have ever said that Dwight Eisenhower’s experience was shaped too much by the military to ever be elected President? I don’t think so. Even the left wasn’t that crazy back then.

Yet he is in the Senate. Does that tell you something about this government? Does it tell you something about the Senate? Does it tell you that you all have been bamboozled into voting in this CORRUPT "Two-Party Cartel'?

[Churchillspirit]

Nailed it!

[kalee]

Harkin said "there's nothing wrong with a career in the military…but now McCain is running for a higher office. He's running for commander in chief, and our Constitution says that should be a civilian. And in some ways, I think it would be nice if that commander in chief had some military background, but I don't know if they need a whole lot." What a crumb he is. Most of our Presidents have served in the military, twelve achieved the rank of general. Should they have been disqualified? Washington, Jackson, WH Harrison, Taylor, Pierce, Johnson, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, B Harrison and Eisenhower.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Harkin is a joke.Flew F-4s out of Japan not over Vietnam.

[BenLurkin]

Without a doubt.

And the feeling would have been mutual.

[fkabuckeyesrule]

Well I geuss the Treason Party cna’t prop up their chickenhawk lines this time around so they have to go back to the babykiller routine they reserve for military people. This line by Harkin is every bit as pathetic as Harkin himself.

[hinckley buzzard]

No doubt Harkin would have preferred Adlai Stevensoin over Dwight Eisenhower too. Losers just never know when to quit.
