I have a problem here. Isn't it the GOP that is so gung ho to help and support our armed forces?

Yet they belittle 2 men who fought in a war that very few in thier position did (white middle class). Both recieved numerous medals and ribbons and both were injured in the line of combat. THEY (THE GOP) DO THIS SOLELY FOR THIER OWN GAIN. If Cleland or Kerry were Republicans and the Dems. challenged thier records then we'd hear an outcry far louder than what we hear from the Dems. defending those men's records.

From the top of Mount Limbaugh to the shores of Hannity, to the plains of Glenn Beck to the rivers of Ms. Coulter and the depths of Lake O'Reilly, we'd hear every day, pounding it into us how evil the Dems. are to savage people who served thier country with honor and dignity.

I'll tell you something. I know more than a handful of Vietnam Vets. and trust me there was "No safe zone" so yes, Cleland got injured on the line of combat and therefore deserves OUR RESPECT. These are men who wore the uniform with pride, when a vast majority wouldn't (including the president and his predecessor).

So to condemn these 2 men's records of service to further YOUR OWN FUCKING PERSONAL AND POLITICAL GAINS IS DISRESPECTFUL TO ALL MEN WHO WORE THE UNIFORM. IT IS IN MY OPINION FAR MORE PATHETIC AND SHOWS ME YOUR TRUE FEELINGS ABOUT THIS COUNTRY THAN ANYTHING I CAN THINK OF. IT IS THIS LEVEL OF LOWNESS THAT SHOWS HOW ONE PARTY IS WILLING TO DESTROY THE VERY FIBER OF OUR COUNTRY.

WILL THE REPUBLICANS STOP AT NOTHING TO KEEP THIER PRECIOUS POWER?

PS Yes, I did wear the uniform, I proudly served in the UNITED STATES NAVY and did so with honor and love of country and I was HONORABLY DISCHARGED.

How did Limbaugh, or Hannity or O'Reilly or Beck serve? Oh they have radio shows that tell us if we don't think thier way then we are dumb, ignorant and don't deserve our freedoms. What fucking hypocrites.
