Will any retired military support Bush at his convention ?

[DaveFL99]

I know some soldiers on active duty will speak for Bush, they have no choice, and the religious wacko general will but do you think anyone with stature like Stormin Norman will stand up for Bush ?

1. James Bath, maybe?

other than that, who?

[DaveFL99]

4. That would open a nice can of worms.

[DemBones DemBones]

9. You read my mind!

I only came here to say "Besides James R. Bath?"

Of course, it would be something if he did show up. . .

[in_cog_ni_to]

2. Supposedly he has 100 Military

people who are going to be there. I have no clue what their ranks are though. They were probably ORDERED to show up, or else.

[DaveFL99]

7. That's why I'm looking for RETIRED military brass

People from policy making positions who are now free to withold their support.

Colon doesn't count, he has to be there.

3. After the Democratic convention...

... you can bet Rove is going through his Rolodex right now. :P

[supernova]

5. Schwartzkopf

maybe, since the Bushes prize loyalty above all.

I'm sure Colin and Condi will speak, being as they're the token A-As.

[DaveFL99]

17. Norman has been awfully quiet

I don't think he'll be there.

6. Well, that goofball that debated Kerry in the 1970's will.

I don't remember his name, but he's been on several TV shows saying how he still resents what Kerry did when he came back from 'Nam.

11. O'Neill's not exactly in a league

with Clark, I loved it when he was introduced a former Supreme Military Commander of Nato. Or the General who's name I can't possibly spell General Sh...

[blm]

8. The military has loads of fundamentalists and highly paid yesmen.

Just like any other area in American life. Of COURSE you'll see them front and center.

What you WON'T see is anyone from the Alabama Air National Guard sharing stories of his time spent with AWOLBush.

[Walt Starr]

10. I don't believe active duty military personnel can participate

I believe it's a violation of the UCMJ if I'm not mistaken.

[Bandit]

12. For any officer that is true

I don't think the same holds true for enlisted personel.

[benddem]

13. Active duty cannot participate

because of the Hatch act. But that wouldn't stop this bunch. Also there is the Admiral who is leading the anti Kerry hate along with O'Neill

[lagniappe]

14. Not sure, but the 'Band of Chickens' certainly will be there.

Bush
Cheney
Rumsfeld
Rove
Wolfowitz
Oreilly
Limbaugh
Hannity

I hope I haven't omitted any from this august group of super patriots.

[Shakespeare]

15. Thanks, I just spit food all over my monitor....

GREAT line! :7

[SoCalDem]

16. re: your emblem.. have you seen this one??

[lagniappe]

18. That's hilarious. I love the AWOL patch on his arm.

I must admit that I posted the Chicken Hawk Patch from the official Chicken Hawk website:
