"Can’t stand Matthews but just a little gentle advice to Ted, don’t be critisizing a veteren with 2 purple hearts when you’ve never served yourself."

John "I served in Viet Nam" Kerry has three purple hearts. Does that make him above reproach?

B.S.!

Honor their service, but they are NOT immune to correct and honest criticism NOW just because they served.

Military service, even war-time service, does not mean you are untouchable, just that that service should be honored.

Same crap reasoning was used to shield a shameful man, McCain, on many occasion from RIGHTEOUS condemnation for his crappy actions, including his umpteen attempts at Amnesty.

I agree. Even a military hero cannot cash in at the public's expense. If private people want give money to a military hero without any expectation of a government benefit, fine.

I read CLINTON CASH. The case is obvious and compelling that the Clinton's used Hillary's position as Secretary of State for personal enrichment. They're disgusting, but the media will only cover the subject to imply that Republicans are not fair to Hillary. Remember when they left the White House and stole things from there? They're twisted power hungry freaks.

Hagel is a putz no matter the number of purple hearts he has and a crook is a crook.

“... just a little gentle advice to Ted, don’t be critisizing (sic) a veteren (sic) with 2 purple hearts when you’ve never served yourself.”

___________________________

As a military wife, I applaud Senator Cruz for going after Hagel. My husband is equally in favor. Bless him for his service but, for the rest, the guy is ridiculously out of his league and lacks basic wisdom. Anyone who tows the line for Mr. Obama deserves to be criticized, particularly if he is a veteran.

I dislike traitor Hagel as much if not more than I do RINO McCain, but I’m looking at this from a political perspective. Among my circle of conservative friends (including several vets) whenever I’ve enthused about Ted Cruz I sometimes only get a lukewarm response. One doesn’t like the fact that he’s from Canada and until last year held dual citizenship. Another made some snarky response about what’s a Cuban doing in Canada, why isn’t he in South Florida like the rest of them. Then notes that Cruz’s father was a supporter of Fidel. And both of these guys are stalwart Republicans. Somehow I doubt either one of them is going to be thrilled with Cruz attacking Hagel, much as Hagel might deserved to be attacked, it’s more of an emotional reaction with them. Personally I’m more interested in policy than the other stuff, but not everyone necessarily sees things the way I do. Just saying.

I feel sorry for Ted having to deal with the spittle.

It’s not wisdom to view things from a mere political perspective, particularly in these times. In addition, there are several bits of misinformation that some people (even of a conservative bent...like the Republicans you mentioned) are naively or purposefully latching onto regarding Senator Cruz and his father. In my opinion, both parties are pretty much useless these days, with the exception of a small few.

To be honest, at this point, I find myself wondering if we will even have elections as usual...particularly given the historical instability of the world financial systems, the most corrupt and inept government situation in our history, the ideological division, immorality and ignorance of over half of our population, the manipulated weakness of our military readiness, and the vast global unrest and spirit of lawlessness. It does not bode well as the saying goes.

I wonder when larger numbers of us are going to finally realize that we need to return to God and His ways...much like the Israelites of old. Will we learn our lessons more readily than they did? God IS the solution.

By the way, from what I have seen so far, Senator Cruz has spoken of this more forcefully than all other candidates. Thus, he is the first choice for my husband and I and many military and other hard-working and intelligent friends of ours.

Let us continue to pray for our nation with great urgency and sincerity.

It’s disappointing that Cruz isn’t picking up more steam. I hope the debates will get him more notice and support.

And Chris Mathews is an ass.

John Kerry has 2 Purple Hearts. Is he also above criticism?
