    Democrats, vs Republicans, Military Service---An Eye Opener !!!!

    The attached is an aged e-mail that I came across. It says a lot about the
    hypocrisy of the Iraq war loving Republicans of our Congress. Some of these
    Democrats were forced from office as a result of lies used against them
    during the campaigns by war-dodging and cowardly Republicans. Among this
    group of Republicans were U S Senator, Saxby Chambliss of Georgia.



    Please let the nation know who the real draft dodgers are.



    NOTE: Some of these people are no longer in the public eye.

    This is an eye-opener ..........>

    Who, exactly was forced from office? And who, exactly, forced them from office? What offices were forcefully vacated?

    You've gone from ammusing to ridiculous.

    An interesting and totally bizarre presentation that has a statistical relevence of <0.

    Currently there are 30 members of the senate who are vets.
    16 Repubs and 14 Dems.

    And in the house, there are 101 vets
    55 Repubs and 46 Dems.

    Actually, true hypocracy is skewing facts to support a narrative.
    BTT suggests that Repubs serve less then Dems.
    And I just showed he is full of Bigonio.

    Now if you want to ignore the facts and continue your agenda. Good luck.

    Perhaps YOU should visit the Eye doctor and get your prescription updated.

    A SHORT list of cowards from a party that proudly trumpets "God's will," "Family values," "smaller government" and other lies while "talking tough,"

    The Grand Old Perverts sure love sending OTHERS to their deaths to fight wars that make their friends and selves money.


    BOTH parties are trash, but at least most of the Dems have had the NADS to do what the armchair toughguys, the warmongers have been too scared to do;"Proudly serve their country by defending it in the armed forces."

    Also ironic is how little support the troops have been given by the G.O.P.;The GI bills voted against, the deplorable state of military eqpt in Iraq includinggggggg....Body armor, mainly thanks to the G.O.P.'s lack of funding so more $$$ can go to thugs like Blackwater and cowards like Halliburton.



    But shhhhhhhh...If you ever happen to confront a tough-guy cowardly politician or tough-talkin' cowardly celebrity on that nasty Repub
    lican allergy to war, they'll get kinda angry and ask:

    "What kind of American questions the patriotism of another, you commie?!"

    "I serve my country in OTHER ways, I'm proud to be a Republican and I'm a good citizen!"



    I HATE WAR but that list speaks volumes;Its undeniable and
    before you McCainiacs forget-
    For MOST of his time in office, McCain has voted AGAINST bills to support other veterans, the poor and middle class ones-Until recently-When he HAD to look good for the record.

    Forget what vets you've seen at the G.O.P. convention;Veterans groups
    HATE McCain

    The same as:

    NYS Firemen and Police associations HATE "Rudy"

    Come on BTT, an aged e-mail that I came across? Really? This is a short list of websites that seem to have the same list. And all are very recent. Please don't insult everyone intelligence here, as if you have had this list for a while and just found it recently. I find this kind of crap repulsive and divisive. Which of these websites did you really copy/paste this list from? Be honest for once.

    This stat only matters to the left wing nuts.
    The troops don't care, they vote Republican the majority of the time.
    The Dems know this and have tried to prevent our soldiers from voting absentee.

    Actually, it's the Repubs who have a history of this. Well, at least when it's possible that the absentees might vote for the Dems:

    http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpag...54c0a9679c8b63
    (in 2000)Their goal was simple: to count the maximum number of overseas ballots in counties won by Mr. Bush, particularly those with a high concentration of military voters, while seeking to disqualify overseas ballots in counties won by Vice President Al Gore.
    A six-month investigation by The New York Times of this chapter in the closest presidential election in modern American history shows that the Republican effort had a decided impact. Under intense pressure from the Republicans, Florida officials accepted hundreds of overseas absentee ballots that failed to comply with state laws.
    In an analysis of the 2,490 ballots from Americans living abroad that were counted as legal votes after Election Day, The Times found 680 questionable votes. Although it is not known for whom the flawed ballots were cast, four out of five were accepted in counties carried by Mr. Bush, The Times found. Mr. Bush's final margin in the official total was 537 votes.
    But your being a dick
