It is as bad as Pat Robertson’s cover on his book the Cross and the Switchblade in which he was featured as a Marine officer with some sort of “combat” experience as I recall reading the jacket years ago.

Robertson was in and out of combat zones or hostile fire zones but I don’t think that he was a Marine with actual combat experience.

The same goes for most Veterans. There are many support personnel for the actual combat personnel.

However, veteran’s do suffer in silence. Sitting at a keyboard and letting go shock & awe type of technology, may be more horrifying upon relection, later in life.

el presidente; Nobody here suffering in silence my good man, just a Democrat goof making it up as he goes…pretty much boiler plate operations.

And a very sick man.

I think that perhaps TwoPuttTommy (TPT) and I have a few things in common, besides occasionally using UPPERCASE letters.

There are many inwardly wounded war veterans who mostly suffer in silence.

There is nothing phony about their veteran status.

2punk’s the little squirt on the left.

It’s easy enough for me to ask next time I drop by VFW Post 425 for a couple of beers with some genuine VWV’s. They already *love* 2punk, they’ll *really* love this latest bit.

After all, what vet doesn’t appreciate a lefty scumbag who uses a phony “vet” status to trash the country?

I’ll let you know what I find out about our “war hero”, BK.

And someday, you might even get a clue.

Hmmmmm HUA LI’I I KA WAINA . . . too much singing in our 50th State [taken during the Spanish-American War].

Perhaps I am included in the mixture with other “indigenous” people.

Ahhh. . . the Islands [Nicollet & Harriet] of the Twin Cities call me!!!

Guess you really are the coward I called you out to be.

Got your bike shined up?

I know, it would effect you your income as you must be paid to post here.

Still, I say you are the biggest hypocrit here and sure can run your mouth but offer nothing to back it up.

Is your discharge even honorable? One must question that considering how you lie about everything else. That or I bet you were one of the guys who the others teased and put your dick in the dirt a few times maybe? Then again, I bet even as a young man you were someone who talks tough in the shadows and has never really been able to say what he wants directly to someones face.

So puddles, care to take the bet, or just admit you know Norm is going to win and now it sure looks like Hitlery is going to ruin any chances for a democrat in the white house.

If that was really little stones, there woulda been many more ;-0 and some gratitious four-letter-words tossed in, too.

If you’re gonna make fun of little stones, ya gotta be more authentic, Typical Frightened Rightwingnut Guy!!!

Poor guy, must suck going through life not only wrong on everything you believe, but not even able to make an arguement for what you believe. Makes one wonder why you believe what you do when clearly you can never defend or explain it.

You are a very sad excuse for a man puddles.

How about that bet about old Norm Coleman who you seem so sure is going to lose this November.
It is very easy to point out what a sissy you really are. You can come here drop your attacks and run off into the shadows before someone calls you on it.

Well man up puddles! Let’s put or right to post here on the line. My guess is more lame excuses as to why you cannot back up the shit you post.

go lay by your dish boy

Do try to keep up, won’t you?

Many Dems agree with him. They don’t see precipitous withdrawal as logical. We have to recognize the mess that is there and deal with it. You can’t please all the people all the time and Ashwin has proven that he can stand up for his position whether or not the Kucinich Dems support it or not. He makes sense and people don’t have to agree – just understand.

And to continue combat operations against Al Qaida. (do you want to see the quote?)

He wants to continue combat operations indefinetly.

Hey, I agree with him, but I’m not sure all of his supporters would agree with that bit.

“And you still do not address…” I don’t answer Two-bits stupid questions.

How can you possibly disagree with that?

Or would you rather see helecopters on rooftops and a massive ethnic cleansing?

And you still do not address how you think we should all be sharing in the sacrifice or paying for these wars.

Madia wants to keep US troops in Iraq on combat missions with no time table for withdrawal.

I wonder if all those netroot types he’s raised money from know that.

Surely, if you feel these wars are essential to security, you think everyone needs to sacrifice and pitch in, doncha?

Well, bein’ of the GreedOverPrinciples party, you probably don’t.

But, Captain Madia believes we ALL need to sacrifice a little. So, yes – he just might believe that we need to pay for these wars, now, and for the care our veterans are going to need, later, with tax increases.

You, presumably, would rather put the tab on plasic.

My radical brother would tell you that he is a member of the Vietnam War generation, and if our government tries to take away social security from his generation- the generation that has lost everything to outsourcing, Enron and he could go on for hours like this-that this country has not seen protests like the ones that will happen the first month they don’t get their checks in the mail. My brother doesn’t care about his soul anymore. And he really left the republicans in 2004 because Bush did not deliver on his promises.

My parents are not senile, but your Mother wears Army Boots.

If your brother is over 60, I can only assume your parents are over 80 (or dead, which doesn’t exclude DemocRATS from voting…just ask the Dem Machine in Chicago). Hopefully, you’ve taken their car keys from them because they seem to be quite senile.

As for your brother, the reason the GOP lost its way is because they governed like DFL-lite. Your brother fits the perfect mold: Gimme my goodies, even if you lose your soul.

Raising taxes on all Americans

and

Legalizing Gay Marriage

doesn’t sound like a moderate to me.

I am not forgiving the Dems who waste our money (and a few have), but the reality is for the last 10 to 15 years it has been the republicans who have been very fiscally irresponsible.

And my older brother, a radical conservative, is now voting for Democrats because he turned 62 and wants his share of those social welfare programs.

Honestly, I never thought I would se the day when my ultra-conservative family decided that the party who takes better care of the country is the Democratic Party!

AS for that bonding bill, things are being struck off of it left and right so that it can get passed. Keep watching. I certainly have been!

Reminds me of Norm a bit that way.

I think if anybody better had stepped up Paulsen would be yesterday’s news.

He is also so worried about his house seat that he asked SD42 to hold a second mini endorsing convention after the CD convention instead of endorsing at their regular SD convention.

Ashwin Madia is going to be a great Congressman! And you republicans will like him even if you can’t admit it to anyone!

The DFL just gave us the largest tax increase in modren history. I also read in the paper that they are breaking the state debt limit with their bonding bill to pay for things like $11 million for a gorilla exhibit and a quarter million for a sheet music museum in Chatfield! As Marty Seifert once said, the DFL treats the suburbs as an ATM machine for DFL pork projects.

The current democRat party has become the home of leftist liberals!! Fashist liberals at that who do whatever they can to keep any opposition quiet as well.

Madia is far more conservative than any democRat posters here for sure! I know for a fact he is far more conservative than you will be comfortable with.

Funny, social moderate and fiscally conservative, no such beast exists. How can you be for social welfare programs and claim to be fiscally conservative?

Once again the liberals prove how they just do not live in the same reality the rest of the world does.

Insert your own jokes here.

Madia is a moderate. That’s what many in the DFL are in actuality. Social moderates and fiscally responsible. It’s your modern Dem party.

Madia will be a great congressman.

Bonoff is a flaming liberal who has been proven ineffective and a bit of a screeching whiner as of late.

Ramstad is gone because he knew he was going to have a hard time getting the Republican nod when the fool has voted with Pelosi on almost every issue. Conservatives like the idea of Ramstad going away.

I have talked with Madia, I think the left has been fooled, the guy is no liberal by any means.

Did you hear Paulsen claim he’s a moderate republican, in the model of Frenzel and Ramstad??!?

When are you going to start the hatchet job? You got started early on Bonoff.
