A conservative is a man who sits and thinks, mostly sits.
Woodrow Wilson
28th president of US (1856 - 1924) Â Â Â You know, I just cannot believe how often republicans in this GOP will try and use our soldiers as political leverage. Need I remind you of the body armor problems when it was a republican congress, or about Walter Reed? How about McCain saying he was against, then not voting for the most recent GI bill that passed? How about his great achievements as one of the BOTTOM five in the military academy or his 20% rating from all, non-republican funded veterans groups (which is about all of them except for that vets for freedom crew). Is the political memory hole that small, because when I read stuff like this I just want to gag....
Republican John McCain's campaign on Saturday sharply criticized Democratic rival Barack Obama for canceling a visit to wounded troops in Germany, contending Obama chose foreign leaders and cheering Europeans over "injured American heroes."
Obama's campaign called the accusation "wildly inappropriate." His spokesman has claimed that the visit to a military hospital in Germany was scrapped after the Pentagon raised concerns about political activity on a military base. Earlier, though, the campaign had said Obama decided the visit might be seen as inappropriate politicking. However, the Pentagon said the senator was never told not to visit...
When troops struggle to get just partial disability for missing limbs or brain injuries, and McCain tours the U.S. getting 100% disability and over $50,000 a year on top of his money for being a U.S. Senator because he can't raise his arms over his shoulders I can't help but wonder. Are we really that stupid to buy this?
OK, it is a fact that the oil companies might sell their products in places other than the U.S. but it is NOT A FACT that they will sell us short. That's just an imaginary hope you hold out so that you can be justified in your hatred of "Big Oil".
Please explain for me if you can how a shortage of oil is not fixed by an increase in supply? As I see it if I'm starving to death and I find food doesn't that solve my starvation problem? Now if I know you your going to give me some jive about "but that's not a solution, its a band-aid..." OK then, let's say I'm bleeding to death and that band-aid can stop the bleeding.
You Libs and Obama supporters want to yammer on about eco-friendly solutions that are 20 or more years away while you simply (and I have no idea how you do this) ignore the fact that we're all bleeding to death. You really don't see the insanity in this????
