RK ARCHIVE - GOP Attacks Montoya, Webb, & Fighting Dems

Two, I read his blogs about attacking Jim Webb and his patriotism calling him a "Benedict Arnold". Listen buddy, tell that to the Marines in Iraq. Here's the truth, Republicans for the most part have not and do not serve. They don't even have their kids serve.

Democrats on the other hand do. Democrats on the other hand have had many people step forward into harms way. It isn't what party is better for the troops or not. It's that Republicans have distorted the TRUTH. It's time for a little reality check.

Comments

To all veterans and service men and women: Thank You (RayH - 8/29/2006 12:24:25 PM)

Drmontoya, you were right to be outraged by a partisan attack on the service record of Jim Webb. This is a man who fought bravely and selflessly, and who has remained consistent to the highest ideals of patriotism throughout his life. His courage under fire is the kind of grit that we need in the US Senate today.

I actually heard the Benedict Arnold comment (David M - 8/29/2006 1:36:05 PM)

on primary day while I was standing out in from of my poll trying to encourage people to vote for Jim.

The guy's voice was dripping with contempt. I pretty much have never heard such hatred coming from one person in my life. I guess this is what it means to be a Republican under Bush. A party that has nothing to offer but fear and hatred itself.

List of Bush Administration war heroes: 0

We're talking donuts here.

Members of the Republican elite that took a pass to serve their country when they could have become battlefield patriots:

George Bush: Privileged Spot in Nat. Guard Goes AWOL.

Dick Cheney: 5 Deferments, Most likely a National Record, but what do you expect from a guy who had "other priorities" and flunked out of Yale not once, but TWICE.

Karl Rove: Too busy teaching Young Republicans dirty tricks and falling in love with a young AWOL flyboy, whom he later installs as America's first monarch.

Rush Limbaugh: During Vietnam, Captain Viagra actually had an "anal cyst" discharge, I mean deferal.

David Lumbaugh: Less talented brother of Rush most likely had hemrhoids, who knows, he's still a stupid, angry prick like his older flaccid, more infamous brother.

Paul Wolfowitz

Scooter Libby

Don Rumsfeld (another token flyboy-no combat served, plenty of opportunity, how American soldiers have suffered ever since.)

John Ashcroft

Clarence Thomas

Antonin Scalia

Newt Gingrich

Bill Bennitt

Jerry Falwell

Bill O'Reilly

Sean Hannity

Frank Gafney

Christ, I'm sick of this stench already, here's the f*cking link. Go make your skin crawl.

Note: Not for the faint of heart.
