The Democrats made the Republicans look like Boy Scouts.

Most of the people who hate the military also hate the Boy Scouts.

Grey Mule, I'll ask again: Do you even know that there are 300,000 homeless veterans in this country? That number will be skyrocketing in the next two years. What do you do to contribute besides making these bizarre statements?

So you DON'T do anything to help our veterans, you just have these catchy bumper sticker platitudes to bark out. That's what I thought. That's the usual contribution, because first you have to recognize that there's a problem, and then you have to agree to take some responsibility for the problem. That's not happening.

The reason for the comment that you repeated in bold: There is a list of prominent Republican leaders compared to prominent Democratic leaders, and the Democrats who served in the military outnumbered the Republicans by something like three-to-one. Guys like war heroes John Kennedy and George McGovern. McCain, Dole and Bush 41 were about the only Republican guys on the list. But the list of Republican chicken hawks was impressive. Some of the biggest voices, like Deferment Dick Cheney and Newt Gingrich.

And you see that is the infectious disease we continue to exhibit in this country. Your a conservative, liberal, democrate, republican, black, right wing, nazi, ............. and the list goes on.

Do we have anybody out there saying I am satisfied just being an American and doing things in the best intrest of America. That is being a true Patriot in my book. Like Kevin, I am sure he can care less what color, party affiliation, or religious background the veterans are, they are Americans that were willing to give their life for their country and it's the least he can do to repay them.

I might be the oddball here but I am dam well proud of it.
