How could any veteran or active duty GI support George W Bush ?
Yeah, they have all heard the Jane Fonda rumors and fake Purple Hearts, etc about John Kerry. But George W Bush put his tail between his legs and got his Daddy to get him into a champagne unit of the Texas Air National Guard. Even then, he couldn't keep his commitment to do his time in the Guard. Nobody knows where he was at for several months during his supposed service in the guard. There is no one that has come forward to say they recall serving with George W Bush...and there has been a reward offered!

On top of all that, he sat on his ass and let our nation be attacked on 9/11. He ignored intelligence and went on vacation to Texas. He was nodding off at the wheel. And he sent our troops to Iraq without the necessary equipment that was needed because he was in a hurry. He lied to every GI and to every American. And he cut veterans hospital and veterans aid. And some of these fools still support him? Where are their heads? Up their asses? :mad:

2. Simple
He is being defined by RoveCo; it is working. It needs to stop. Kerry is helping them by goofing up as well. Lies and Smears WORK

3. Because many of them are un-educated, macho, misinformed...
or just trained so well to follow their commander-in-chief that they will do it no matter what.

7. not just media
my dad FOUGHT the nazis, was almost killed. spent a YEAR in military hospitals

YET, he came home, and joined the John Birch society

much more to it for those folks than media. most of them have been socialized by their backgrounds, AND military careers

I gotta go......something's up, but will try to come back to this

this is an IMPORTANT subject.

fifteen percent of voters are vets!!!

8. It Baffles the Mind, Kentuck.
They'd rather destroy and eat the flesh of a man who was a real soldier, who signed up to fight in a real war overseas than find fault in a chickenhawk and coward who plays soldier.

Groan!

10. Hero or zero
How can any thinking person support the idiot bush? He has failed at every thing he tried his whole life. His family bought his way thru college. He was a roaring drunk of 40 years. He drove every company he ever toughed in to the ground. He is a convicted felon (DUI) as well as indicted by the SEC for insider trading, of course those records are sealed. He has not made one correct decision or policy since stealing the White House.
IS this the reason he is running on Kerry's record?

9. Denial
Edited on Wed Aug-18-04 07:30 PM by Piperay
they are all in denial just the way all repukes are. They convince themselves that they are on the side of good no matter how evil their side really is. x(
