1. I have 4 sons serving, and I'm ready for all of 'em to die alone overseas
That's pretty much what I heard from this airhead.

9. Oh, I used to live in Houston
Now I'm in Kentucky. What can you do? I was fortunate enough to live in California, but wouldn't you know it, I couldn't afford to stay.

15. To be fair
That was bitter and satirical shortcut on my part. She did mention having 4 sons in Iraq, Afghanistan, special forces, etc. Then she set into Democrats because we want her sons to come home. So I just took a short cut and got to the meat of the thing.

the soldiers he visits and other mothers' and fathers' sons and daughters put a higher value on their lives.

24. Support the pathalogical liar..
who was pumped up by the whorepress and now the truth is coming out in waves and broken levees and some people still can't find time to get their heads out of their collective ass and investigate what the bush crime syndicate is doing to their country?

6. Since she lived through WWII
Edited on Fri Nov-18-05 09:39 PM by Lancer
you'd think she might remember this country had a REAL president back then. They're replacing her Ensure with Kool-Aid.

Edited to add: and a REAL war.

14. What a loony
Where I am they have these party hacks carrying the official the party line and they have rooms full of persons dialing non-stop to hog call in programmes. No doubt it's the same tactics - probably calling from Dobson or Robertson's church hall.

16. dumbasses
I don't watch these call-ins and votes. I'd be in a looney bin by now if I did. Some of them I know are just ditto heads. But the ones like that grandmother, and the fighting for our freedom idiots. This woman right now, oh my god, STUPID STUPID STUPID.

I have to change the channel. Let me know how the vote turns out.

19. her tongue was dipped in poison
What a nasty old bag.
Bet she didn't respect the PREVIOUS commander in chief, Clinton.

I just home HER C-in-C gave HER gardnsons enough body armor.
And that they can afford to pay for their own hospital food if they get wounded.

21. And the woman after her: "why can't the Dems understand
that we don't want to fight the terrorists on our streets?" What an absurd comment. She bought all the RW talking points. Can't think critically for herself about anything.

25. She said something to the effect...
..."How many American soldiers did that Democratic president get killed in that other war? A million? Bush should be able to at least do that without being hassled" she said.

28. Sounds like a variant of Keyboard Kommandos
I hear a lot of BS about military service. Practically everybody knows someone or has relatives in the service - that does not have anything to do with the issues.
