Letter in the Orange County Register: A red-state National Guard?
A red-state National Guard?

If President George W. Bush is going to activate more National Guard units, he should take them from only the red states that voted for him and who think everything he does is right. After all, his buddy, the California governator, says all the blue states are losers, so take the cream of the crop from the red states.

Alot of the families in the blue states might not be able to subsidize the private contributions to their soldiers welfare in combat as some families in the red states.

This morning on MSNBC they interviewed a woman whose family spent $2000.00 on items for their son who went to Iraq.
