support the troops [Report this comment] Posted by: dougo on Oct 24, 2006 3:26 PM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] The proof is in these charts of who supports the troops and who doesn't. Republicans should hang their heads in shame for the lies they have told. It takes more than a lapel pin. It takes sacrifice on the part of ALL Americans. It isn't done by tax cuts for the already wealthy and it isn't done by cutting benefits for veterans and their families. So many military wives must stand in line at the food bank to feed their children while dad is off fighting Bu$hes oil war. More brain trauma, Bu$hco and his republican cohorts cut the funding by millions. Can't afford this, gotta give tax cuts to my base, the haves and the have mores. Fuck'em! Combat pay? Fuck'em! Better armour for their bodies and their Humvee? Fuck'em. Let 'em dig through the trash to up-armor their Humvee. Fuck'em!Let Cher buy them helmets so their brains don't turn to jelly from IED's. Re-electing a Republican majority to the House and Senate? Fuck'em! Fuck'em all to hell!!! Worthless lying bastards!

I think its ashame that the troops don't have all they need and there families should be taking care of with no problem . I think we should be ashame of ourselves of how some of us don't even pray or think about our men and women who are over there fighting and given there life for all of us to have what we have. and how stupid peopke are the way they think or I should say don't think that they say its there job bullshit, and that our troops are baby killers and all kinds of bad thinkgs they say I think these people if they don't back our troops up should be put on a plane and send there asses out of the United States Of America. our Vetertains should be Saluted every time one walks pass you and thank them for being who they are..... Love and Hugs Linda J , and GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS. [« Reply to this comment] [Post a new comment »] [Rate this comment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5] SEN. BILL NELSON OF FLORIDA SHOULD NOT BE WITH THE DEMOCRATS [Report this comment] Posted by: SALLY EVANS on Oct 27, 2006 8:40 PM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida not only has supported Bush's lying war but also supports Bush's torture ideas. HOW CAN ANYONE SAY THAT NELSON SUPPORTS THE TROOPS? Something is VERY WRONG here! FLORIDA MUST SUPPORT THE INDEPENDENT CANDIDAATE [« Reply to this comment] [Post a new comment »] [Rate this comment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5]
