RE: Oh, I forgot. Santorum was never in the military. Another empty suit.
Was John Adams ever in the military? If not, was he an empty suit?
If the definition of an emptry suit is NEVER, EVER having served in the military, then I guess most women politicians are empty suits ( Sarah Palin included ).
Busted!
Santorum declared: “I didn’t see working in government service and being in politics as anything but serving your country, and doing in some ways — in a civilian sense — what a lot of folks did in a military sense"
The hell it is! Until a soldier serving in the military is paid $174,000 a year with all expenses paid and is not risking his life, IT IS NOT the same thing.
Santorum never has experienced combat and should keep his ignorant opinion out of something he has no clue about.
The modern Military absolutely, has a place for Women. Considering the highly technical equipment involved, there are now, many tasks that give Women the advantage over men. Since wars are being fought from a whole new perspective and objective, there is no way to compare them.
Adams and Palin are no empty suits, obviously. They both did significance things before getting to the national stage.
As a Pennsylvanian, I do have a sense of what Santorum is all about.
I don't doubt his sincerity. But he is an empty suit. Sure, he says the right words. But what experience, what accomplishments, does he bring to the table?
Can you see Santorum staring down Putin? I can't. No more than I can see Obama staring down Putin.
I'm not saying this with any glee. I sure wish we had a solid, accomplished conservative in the race today. But we don't.
Oh, and one more thing.
Can I see Palin staring down Putin? You betcha.
