Using VETS for the party political machinations is SICK!

Is JOHN KERRY going to head the DNC committee to search out potential vets or is Chelsea Manning?

The Dems know they have run as far to the left as they can go and now have to try to play themselves up as a centrist party to regain power. They are going to ditch the radical Bernie faction and scramble towards the middle as fast as they can, cloaking themselves in the flag they have long sought to burn.

Part of the reason for associating Trump with the Russians is that the Dems are going to try a “visual” party switch where they convince the mooshy middle that the Democrats are the real inheritors of the Reagan revolution and the Republicans are the abode of old Russian-loving communists.

Recall they pulled something similar years ago in trying to ditch their racist history by falsely associating it with the right, claiming the parties “switched” when all that really happened was that the communists took over the Democratic Party and hid their overt racists under their bed in case they needed them some day.

As a vet, I can’t understand how any other vet could vote or join the DNC that hates America and the military. Then again, I met some very strange people in the military who were nothing close to conservative.

Hey Dems, you are going to lie as usual? You liberals hate Vets, so the military won’t vote for libs. Why not try running Americans who are for the Constitution and Freedom...?

It’s why they want gays in the military. Not to serve, but rather, so that the gay lobby candidates can get “veteran cred” to run for office, fool the voters, and push more culturally destructive programs.

There are military veterans who profess to be Democrats.

Some, like Jack Murtha, were in relatively well-isolated positions nowhere near the enemy. Others, like Tammy Duckworth, or Max Cleland, were severely wounded, and trade upon their veteran status to promote their own political careers. Still others, like John F. Kerry, overly embellish their military service, then express righteous anger at what they thought were “excesses” of the military and the Administrations that sent men to fight and die in a war called for by old men.

Most veterans, who also claim to be Democrat, or at least anti-Republican, just do not have that strong a portfolio when it comes to relevant exposure to enemy fire, like Al Gore, son of a prominent Democrat politician, who returned to become a Democrat politician in his own right.

You cannot be a sincere patriotic American and a Democrat both. At least, if you expect to go anywhere at all within the Democrat party. Just look at the spectacular resume of Jim Webb, seeking the nomination to be the candidate for President on the Democrat ticket in 2016.

He barely got onto the stage.

The Democrat Thug Party sends them off to war then cuts funding to support them.

The dems place everything on “titles”. But, most of us take a look at the person. McCain is a vet. The Muslim shrink of Fort Hood infamy was a vet. There are a lot of vets that are not good people.

I hope that after these veterans win the Dem primary, that those who are “stolen valor” are unmasked and ruined.

I doubt the Dems will do a very good job of vetting these vets.

well look what they’ve done to some of our blacks in the ghettos. Keep them on the plantation. Even some of the educated blacks want the ghetto blacks to stay there by
keeping them on welfare. Watch the black liberal press “reporters”, they could care less for the ghetto blacks.

An US Armed Forces veteran who ran for a House seat to help the Democrats use the House to impeach President Trump is a seditionist by definition.

Ted Lieu, who is a colonel in the USAF Reserves, commits sedition almost daily.
