Who Supports Our Troops: Republicans or Democrats

Bob Geiger has the answer, and he's put it in a great table, listing grades by party. The information was garnered by the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA). I think they'd know who does it best, having actually served in a war theater, unlike Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld...

As a matter of fact, check out AWOLBush.com to see which prominent Democrats and Republicans actually did serve in our Armed Forces. It's an eye opener.

Hank has a job! And a Rant.

Woo hoo! Full-time, great benefits and a good schedule, so we actually see each other!

It will take a while for us to catch up on our bills (mostly my medical bills), because he still doesn't make what he used to, but at least he has a steady, fairly well paying job.

Good economy? Please. I could give a Rattus norvegicuses posterier about what the Bush Spin Machine says: unless you are already rich, the economy sucks, especially for those stuck at the minimum wage and have to work two or three jobs to barely make ends meet.

Herein begins the Rant:

There are those who have no health care, or poor health coverage.

There are those whose children are recieving poor education because No Child Left Behind.

Our natural resources are being ravaged.

We are at war because of lies, and our men and women go to combat with poor resources.

We are more at risk of terrorist attack because the "GWOT" is a political concept, not a reality.

Katrina, Katrina, Katrina, Katrina, Katrina, Katrina, Katrina, Katrina, Katrina

And Darfur. Genocide.

And the list goes on.

Don't take my word. Seek out the truth for yourself. Go the the International Version of CNN, to the BBC, to other foreign papers. Watch Keith Olbermann (on MSNBC), a voice of reason in a sea of drek.


VOTE ON NOVEMBER 7TH to return
America to the ideals of our Founders!
