3. they have no respect for our soldiers

they are lying turn-coats that see the soldiers the same way a child in the sand box plays with their toy soldiers. And they have the audacity to wrap themselves in our flag.

6. And the troops support them wholeheartedly. Why? Conservatives support the troops.

7. if i remember correctly,19 of the 20 vets that ran in the last cycle(2008)

ran as Democrats.I know because I worked on David Harris' campaign against...sigh...Joe Barton.

IAVA has traditionally supported Democratic candidates for this reason.

9. True. Vets seem to have gotten facts right. Republicans mouth national defense.

But screwed active military families and vets, especially vets that needed extensive medical care or psychological counseling.
