1. I thought they had some safety-valve

in their brains to counter truths like this.

[Stockholm]

6. No, this poster takes the grand patriot prize

So did Timothy McVeigh.
But Bill Clinton didn't.
Neither did Hillary.

Leftists just don't learn, do they?
When they get selective with their facts, we just slam them with all the facts.

Like the "pull out or not" vote, we need a list showing ALL congresscritters' service status. The result will likely destroy the above propaganda.

He attempts an old "guilt by association - ploy" but is too dumb to pull it off (or a DU mole). As a cat lover I often remind people that Baudelaire, Churchill and Hemingway loved cats, while Nixon and Hitler owned dogs.

2. Love this rationale -- "BluH20" is one stupid MFer

"Who gives a rat's arse about who served. It has zero place in this discussion concerning Iraq."

"~80% of the soldiers who are actually IN Iraq and Afghanistan are republicans. That's all you need."

Thrusters in Full Denial, Captain! Launch Logic Interceptors!

:rofl:

[skypilot]

3. That was my favorite as well.

Zero place in this discussion?!?! Dumbass just can't figure out where the "place" in the discussion is.

[StellaBlue]

23. And, like Alan Jackson, they probably don't know where Iraq is, either

Or the difference between Iraq and Iran.

[Hissyspit]

5. Those statistics aren't true. nt

[Swede]

4. A warmonger who never served, that promotes war is a chickenhawk.

A peacemaker that never served is a dove. Most rationale human beings know who the better person is.

[marbuc]

7. The percentage of Republicans in the military just keeps increasing

doesn't it?

To: BluH2o
1: I'd think a comprehensive and accurate list would look much different

2: ~80% of the soldiers who are actually IN Iraq and Afghanistan are republicans. That's all you need.

11. Using their logic, send the Democrats home then.............

how do they figure 80%.

[Village Idiot]

8. This is the stupidest list ever created.

No wonder they call Dems 'moonbats' and idiots.

Make a COMPREHENSIVE LIST, fer fucksakes. Perhaps include ALL of those who served and ALL of those who didn't and perhaps then people might take you seriously.

Until then, grow up, those of you who actually think that this says ANYTHING.

[Toots]

16. I disagree

This is a list of the most vocal on both sides and goes to show their background. I am sure if you did a study in the USA you would find about equal service between Republicans and Democrats but those people aren't shooting off their mouths. It goes to credibility and I believe that is important whether you do or not.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

20. Incredible. Sad, but totally incredible. Speaking of "growing up",....

...perhaps you might try offering some concrete constructive criticism in the future, instead of just coming across as rather insulting in a juvenile sort of way.

[jsamuel]

25. touchy

geez... are you feeling ok tonight? Did you have a bad day or something?

[AlCzervik]

9. wow that op is getting the smackdown from uber defensive freepers

you know i think some of those freepers that claim to have served and have medals might just be, dare i say it----fibbing?

[MadHound]

10. So this is how they rationalize their stand

"As a taxpayer, EVERONE serves"

Classic, hillarious, stupid freepers. Like paying a thou or two every year is somehow comparable to putting your life on the line when the shit is hitting the fan.

Sorry you dumbass freep, but service actually requires you getting up off your fat ass and going out and doing something.

[Toots]

17. But they don't want to be tax payers

They want to eliminate taxes or make it so only the poor pay. Hypocrites without a solid thought process.

[FreedomAngel82]

21. Oh brother

LOL. The 101st Keyboarding doesn't count. :eyes:

[hopeisaplace]

24. LOL..

reminds me of the movie "Armagedon"..where one of the guys going to save the world wants, as a payment, "never to pay taxes again"...

In fact, I think anyone who serves SHOULD never have to pay taxes again, but then again, giving veterans a job, financial aid, and health care would be a better start!

Repugs who are for this war, should be obligated to serve. I can't imagine supporting something like this and believing someone else should die, but not my family!! I just don't get this thinking!! *arghhhhh*

[Loonman]

12. They can't spin this

although they think bringing up clinton ad nauseum changes anything to the overall assumption that 95% of Republicans are tough tali kg weasels.

[ComerPerro]

13. One point they seem to be missing (the FReepers):

Where is the list of Democrats that didn't serve?


Who cares? It is irrelevant. They aren't the ones pushing this war.


Also, another comment there:

~80% of the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan are Republican

First off, thats probably bullshit. I'd like to see a source there. And Rush or Drudge don't count. And, given our current troop shortage, I have a better question: How many supporters of the war who are of the appropriate age group are actually serving in Iraq?
I bet its a pretty low percentage

[progressoid]

14. I'm surprised it hasn't been pulled

[koopie57]

15. Well, I keep thinking they can't be that stupid, but

dang, this is one of the few times I did follow a thread and for crying out loud they are one stupid bunch of fools. I bet their neighbors and co-workers and family must just cringe when they open their mouths. I'm thankful they will not be at my house on Thanksgiving.

[maximovich]

18. Freeps Like Political Hacks More Than Real Veterans

who actually fought in war. That's all to it.

[Loonman]

19. Spin, baby!

True, you do not have to be in the military to be a good wartime president.

26. After stating you don't have to be in the military,

they turn around and attack Clinton for not being in the military.

[Sparkly]

22. The cognitive dissonance must be making their hair hurt. nt

[ismnotwasm]

27. How many of those FR assholes

Are sending care packages to our soldiers? In the adopt a soldier program? Who actually give a shit about how they're living over there? How many of them volunteer at VA hospitals, visit old WW11, or Korean or even Vietnam vets at nursing homes on veterans day? How many of them follow how many FUCKING years it took to get benefits for Agent Orange exposure? How many of them stood with John Kerry and John McCain on the MIA's? How many of them are writing their congressmen telling them that our armed forces needs to have to best, safest and most up to date equipment in the world during wartime (they don't) They are disgusting armchair warriors who put ignorant, demented ideology over the lives of our soldiers.
I know. My daughter serves in the US army served a year in Afghanistan and quite possibly will go to Iraq and she tells me what's going on.
That's what's happening freeper assholes. Those kids get back from one deployment, turn around twice and are sent back to another one. Kids left with grandparents, other caregivers for months and months at a time. If both parents are serving, both get deployed.
And once they get out guess how long they get medical? 6 months. That's right. 6 months. Not to mention other lovely budget cuts our Veterans will be facing that your chickenhawk repuke politians are busy voting in.

The politians who have served and have wartime experience, the Generals who tried to give advice and were ignored by goddam chickenhawks tried to lead the war on terror in a different direction. Old soldiers know what happens during war. You FR assholes evidently don't, or don't care.

[kskiska]

28. " They mentioned Ted Kennedy. How about Robert?"

Robert F. Kennedy left Harvard to join the Navy in WWII.

[upi402]

29. good point

It would be interesting to see a complete list of congress' service records.
If it were in Republicans' favor it would be funded and done ASAP.

[NMMNG]

30. I love this one

To: BluH2o
Been around for years. I DID sever. I served as a Infantryman not a REMF like most of these "Macho" Democrats. I do not remember ever reading that the 1st Amendment was restricted to people who server in the Military. As a taxpayer, EVERONE serves. This attempt by neo-Socialist Democrats to smear their political foes should be treated as the contemptible gutter politics it is. People who circulate this gutter political smear from the political office they hold should be fired by the taxpayers.

I guess that means every single one of us has served in the military by virtue of the fact that we pay taxes. :crazy:

[hayu_lol]

31. This list, so terribly hated by Freepers, was originally published...

in the New Hampshire Gazette about 4-5 years ago. Not only did the original list those 'leaders' who did serve...it also listed those solons who failed to serve...and in some cases, gave the reasons they avoided service.

[NMMNG]

32. I can understand why they hate it-they always seem to hate the truth

:evilgrin:

[Skittles]

33. unbelievable how pathetic freepers are

you read their responses and just shake your head.....someone calling Kerry's home state TAXACHUSETS - good LORD - they'll say THIS after republicans have been stealing the country blind for FIVE YEARS ?
