This could go into the GD forum, but it's worth spending a thread to post it here.

Just in case anyone has forgotten what this election is all about:

Today we took our daughter to the airport for her flight to Paris - she's spending a summer semester studying in the Champagne region. We saw a young soldier from Fort Drum sitting with his wife and baby waiting for his flight out. I don't think he's headed to France for a summer semester!

2. No, I don't suppose he is.

3. We watched a PBS documentary on Walt Whitman

And they showed a lot of photos of the Civil War... the looks on the young boy's faces... I couldn't help but think of all the faces going to, and in Iraq... and Afghanistan... and those who will probably find themselves in Iran... because Bush just won't give up until we are ruined beyond repair.

Vote for a Democrat.

And stop the bullshit hating going on around here! All that wasted energy is pretty disgusting when there are faces like this in our world.

4. That is exactly what this is about

and if Bush gets his war with Iran... it might be your daughter in that uniform on her way to war

People don't realize this is happening too

5. This was not a wasted post

It is vital that we remember what this election is really all about.

6. I think a lot of people here have forgotten - there is a big thread on LBN

about Obama addressing a reporter as "sweetie"!
