It's Dick Cheney who hates the troops!
Just read this at Sully:

http://time.blogs.com/daily_dish/2006/11/vive_la_resista_1.html

From an e-mail:

I am a moderate living in Colorado Springs. The main thing that bothers me about those on the far right is their hypocrisy, with Ann Coulter and Ted Haggard being the latest two examples. Another comes to mind here locally as well: ads for the local Republican candidate for the House that classify his opponent (a retired lieutenant colonel by the way) as a liberal, yet the administration that he is supporting has run up the greatest debt in our history.

I drive my kids and two of their friends to school in the morning and yesterday I was originally not supposed to pick my daughter's friend up as she was to greet her father returning from Iraq. She called and told us she needed a ride as they had evidently received a call that her dad would not be coming home yet, and we did not question as we were hoping nothing happened to him. Today I believe that I saw the reason why. Mr. Cheney will be here for a campaign stop this weekend part of which will be to greet the troops as they return.

So their reunion should be delayed for political purposes.




ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!

3. Wow
I seriously can't imagine a President Kerry doing that. You would think they could let them return and come back to the base for a nice celebration with Cheney. (or not so nice ... well they could have good appetizers etc

4. You know
being a military wife for 20 years this is despicable.

In our case being in the Navy, my husband went on 6 month cruises and you start counting down the days till their return, the minute the ship pulls out. A few hours to a few days of extra waiting for their return is just more strain to any military family. But to do this for political purposes is just downright immoral.

These bastards , these fucking bastards.

5. Beachmom
you need to post this on the Kerry blog.

Speaking of the Kerry blog isn't it amazing how it is back to normal over there. All those posts from a few days ago, that was a direct attack at JK by the other side,they had no idea a Kerrry blog existed before that, they were directed to go there. I hate these son of a bitches.

6. I was thinking the same thing, and did so, but I'm not sure if it has
shown up yet.

OT: Hey -- are you going to the election party Tuesday night?

8. Well, it was on the paper that we'll use to open/close precincts
But I received an e-mail about it, too (I'm on the VB Dems list). I was just wondering if you were thinking about going, because it would be great to meet you.
