I was just on C-Span.........

[converted_democrat]

I was talking to the Rep. Rep from California. I told him I just left the Republican party. He said come back to the Rep. party, I said no way. I told him I'm tired of hearing Dems don't support the troops when we aren't the ones sending our men and women into war on bad intelligence, and we aren't the ones trying to cut vets benefits.

18. Me too, left the GOP in the early 80's. Due to Environmental Issues,

Equal Rights issues, and the Radical Religious Right-Wing.

Now I have added Subsidization of Corporations and the Wealthy at the expense of working people.

However -- good to hear you made it, and spoke truth to truth.

24. Congrats...That Was Duncan Hunter...

Country Club Repugnican Chickenshit. He is the money man for General Dynamics and Grummond and all the large defense contractors. He's also chairman of the Defense Appropriations committee...the one whose writing in all those special deals for Haliburton that go into the supplementals that get only a quick up or down floor vote.

This scum cares little about veterans since they're a drain on his beloved military profiteering.

Congrats on getting on. It was good to see this oxygen theif get a few seconds of the real world.

Cheers!
