Elizabeth [Edwards] questions Limbaugh's draft deferment

Nope.
Your elitist thinking is the problem.

I’ve served and don’t consider myself special just because of that. I now contribute to the American economy by working in manufacturing, helping my company and its shareholders pay their taxes. I work alongside people who are the undeniable ENGINE of America.

There are plenty of Americans out there working jobs, running factories, growing our food. To declare yourself special because you served in the military is exactly the type of thinking Our Founders were guarded against.

We wouldn’t have the bullets nor beans if not for the American CITIZENS who created this economy, paid the taxes and built the weapons that arm our military.

The military exists to SERVE, not to rule.

Her ‘husband’ served honorably in Vietnam and received twelve purple hears. No draft dodger he.

why is MR Betty Edwards like a lobster?

They could make only monkeys eligible to vote and it would be just as bad an idea.

Never said it was a good idea, just that voting eligibility is left up to the states, and so the federal constitution has little to do with it. Oh it does proscribe some reasons for not allowing someone to vote, but "not a veteran" isn't one of them.

[SJSAMPLE]

Agreed.

[Sue Perkick]

The timing is at least.....interesting.

Thank you DC. It’s good for a laugh anyway and we have posted the song, “I Feel Pretty” on Edwards graphics a few times, lol.
