Clipmarks | Vietnam ClipsRepublicans Suddenly Agree with Wes Clark on John McCainclipped by: cptenaudby: Brandon FriedmanWed Sep 03, 2008When General Wesley Clark (Ret.) appeared on Face the Nation and stated that John McCains time as a POW in Vietnam was not a qualification to serve as President, yappers on both sides of the aisle flipped out. As we all remember, it became a media hyperventorama. And it was all unwarranted. Its nice to see then, that for some reason, the Republican Party has suddenly decided that it agrees with General Clarks assessment: [Video] Yes, thats former Senator and failed presidential candidate Fred Thompson. And yes, during his speech on Tuesday night at the Republican National Convention, he said essentially what Clark said two months earlier. MSNBCs Keith Olbermann also happened to catch Thompsons remark, and he quizzed a confused David Gregory about it: [Video] The point is this: People noticed. So, will Fred Thompson be apologizing on Wednesday? Or was Clark right? GOP Campaign Themesclipped by: cptenaudclippers remarks: They also find it Very Easy to Condemn those that give Service to Their Lives and Freedoms! Last election cycle they Laughed at and Mocked the Military Service of one of the Presidential Candidates who Served This Country In Vietnam, just as I Did, and being in the same service branch, the U.S. Navy, they Spit on my Service, All my brother and sister Naval personal who served In-Country, and All the other Service Personal, but most of All, All Those Who Have Served This Country and Received Its Highest Honor For That Service, The Purple Heart!!! I was waiting to see how they would Slam their Fellow Americans this year. Well they started early, peppering their talking points with the words needed, leading up to their Convention, and Let Both Barrels Go, Loud and Clear!! by: jimstaroThu Sep 04, 2008These people have No Self Worth, Im talking about those that just hang to this imaginary, once proud, Republican Tag. Even still calling themselves Conservative! They allow themselves to be led around like the robots theyve become, and frankly some on the Democratic side are just as willing, but the fall into line and march in lockstep Falls Souly on the GOP! Theyve been Silent and Accepting of the Lies that led our Troops into Occupations and All that has come about because of that, the torturing, the no-bid contracts, the corruption, the deaths and maiming s................................................, and oh so much more! Theyve been Silent and Accepting as our Freedoms have been slowly stripped away, and Accepting of Rule by Executive Branch Alone ignoring the fact they have hired others to Represent Them! All Those Who Have Served This Country and Received Its Highest Honor For That Service, The Purple Heart!!!
US Military Deaths, Just a Numberclipped by: Imncladyclippers remarks: Only, declined, the casualties first suffered, since, the latest, at least 4,153, since....2003 These words used in the article seem to detach themselves from the fact that "our " brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, husbands, and friends are being killed in a war with Iraq. It makes me think that people may be viewing this as just " war " and maybe compared to " the Vietnam War " and not as " the war on terrorism " or " the fight for freedom." Maybe " that " is why people protest this war, not against the soldiers that are led there, but " the Politics behind it ". I may be wrong and you may not care what I think, but I hope " I still have the freedom ", to say it.  |
