Republicans prefer soldiers to be seriously maimed or they will mock them.

7. Republicans Don't Even Want To Hear About Them

The Chickenhawks. You think Bush or Cheney wants to hear how their policies maimed others, when they snuck out of going to Nam? Don't think so.

[Sugarbleus]

8. Except for Max Cleland... where's the "hugs" for him???

The "Wingers" only care about veterans who come back and join the republican party. All the rest of the vets are scum and probably should have died in combat.

I say; NEVER allow your kids to go to war if there is a republican in office. Make the republicans kids serve FIRST.x(

9. Bush and Cheney continue to assault our military

(Post to a dozen newspapers)
Apparently it's OK for people who support Bush to attack the validity of Kerry's medals and thus question the validity of how our troops are given medals by our military. The military give medals of valor after much examination and review. To attack that priniciple (especially 35 years after the fact) can only be seen as shameful, desperate and unpatriotic.

As for the SBVFT and their accusations, NONE of them actually served with Kerry and ALL of them have LIED about various accusations against their own brothers who served this country honorably.

Bush and Cheney, both draft-dodging chickenhawk cowards who were either missing from duty or had multiple well-crafted excuses not to serve, have a history of attacking veterans who served this country.

Whether it was decorated veterans like Max Cleland (D), Charles Robb (R), Chuck Hagel (R), John McCain (R) or John Kerry (D), these chickenhawks find it convenient to challenge those that suited up and served our country and use it for cowardly, disrespectful political gain.

It's easy for a coward to attack someone who displayed courage when they can get others to do their dirty work.

It's now apparent that the Bush-Cheney campaign is linked to groups attacking the integrity of veterans and decorated soldiers who bled and fought for our country.

It is no surprise to anyone except those that are blind and refuse to face the truth that the Bush-Cheney campaign will stoop to gutter-level poliics and run false advertisements to try to grab the vote through shameful and deceitful means.

What the Bush-Cheney pattern of lies tells you is that future Republicans who weaseled out of serving in Iraq can then challenge those soldiers fighting now in Fallujuh. They can (and probably will) challenge the sons and daughters who are serving now in Iraq that dare run for office.

These new neocons will use the same playbook Lee Atwater trained Bush and Rove on: abandon your own conscience or courage and attack those that proved they served this country.
This next generation of cowardly Republican charlatens can look back at how Bush trashed our military and those that served without even wondering how shameful it really is to our country.

Yes, they can smile and pose in the mirror as they practice the big line about their opponent who served. Get their campaign manager to find out if their opponent was injured enough or not...
