REPUBLICAN VALUES AS THEY APPEAR TO MANY AMERICANS

10 Comments

Great Post!

Although I have to say 2 things I think could be wrong. Our current president has essentially lied about Iraq and the Middle East in general. I think we can prove that, also under this administration veteran's benefits have gone down in the form of combat treatment.

I think if you truly believe in what you say you should be looking at the only candidate suitable for the job. Ron Paul.

Veterns Benifits respones to mavtek

Combat treatment is better today in my opinion. The survival rate is higher, better prosthetics and better patient care. Also much greater emphasis on the Psychological treatment of the Veterens.

The statement that mavtek made about VA combat treatment is subjective. VA hospitals in general have a reputation for being less then we could want. That has been true for a long time, long before Pres Bush took office.

he fell in to the exact trap I describe above. You take a Subjective statement that the quality of care is bad, slop it on the adminsitration and banter it about as a fact.

The VA hospitals are aging many built after WWII and Korea are still in use. On the other hand there are also new and modern facilities. Our training and treatment for things like PTSD are greatly improved and documentably so.

As to the Iraq war lies , again same thing , sloganism or jingoism, What are the lies?

ROn Paul? well thanks for the smile.

Ronnie Paul's ALCOAettes are SOMETHING aren't they :)? Hal Donahue, Robert/Rocky and MikeR are other Clinton Kool-Aid Drinking, Bush Bashers who claim to be ex-Military. They go on about how APPALLED they are at the treatment of soldiers under GWB. BUT, they think a MILITARY HATER'S WIFE will make a GREAT PRESIDENT! My next post will be on Liberal Values and will be ready in 2-3 days. If there is ANYTHING I can do for you or your family stateside, you have but to ask.

God Bless You and Keep you safe.

Also I was reffering to Combat treatment

Again COMBAT TREATMENT.

Educate yourself, watch the video. The way the troops are being treated by KBR is disgusting.

No U tube here blocked by KBR

cant watch U TUBE
Cant watch U TUBE since i am in IRAQ but I can tell you first hand experience that Combat treatment of our soldiers by KBR is first rate. Not sure what you are seeing on the U tube so cant address a specific issue. If it is medical issue then it seems strange because our hospitals and aid stations are not KBR (same with our meddevac).

man it is really funny when someone tells me about the way we are getting treated over here.

I am on third time in theater out of 5 total combat deployments (also did bosnia and kosovo)

Now was the the Civilian Contractors that Pres Clinton used to support us in Bosnia + Kosovo better then KBR? Oh wait, HE used KBR also.

LOL

OK

I actually know someone, his name is Zack, he also served in Iraq. He told me that what we were doing over there he was ok with as long as we finished the job. He was an ardent Rudy supporter, after I spoke with him about Ron Paul he's an ardent Ron Paul supporter. Mainly because Zack realizes that Ron Paul takes his oath to the constitution more seriously than any other politician.

I didn't lead him to that conclusion, he found his way there on his own. I support Ron Paul because of his record, and the man is a profit in many ways.

Tinsldr2,

Just looking through the comments with explanations is very good. I also agree with Georgetwin. Ever need any thing just yell it out.

Another interesting thing on the news today was Sean Penn coming out in support of The Midget the big K. I think that is was a good pairing. I'm sure that it will throw many more votes in the Midget's one gene pool.

My favorite statement of the week though is from the comment's posted in the Examiner, DC editon about Mitt Romney's speech about Mormanism.


9:52 PM MST on Thu., Dec. 6, 2007 re: "Romney firm on faith and Mormonism"

Examiner Reader said:
"Romney clearly wants religion at the heart of politics--maybe not Mormonism, but religion. Those who chose not to believe, as well as gays, have plenty to fear from this man. I mean, just watch South Park."

I don't doubt this reader's worldly knowledge but just to get a 2nd opinion I'll just hop over to The Simpsons and get their take on the subject. Ron Paul being a profit? I'll just have to check the above proven sources before I can comment.

Stay very safe and please make sure everyone knows that we support them and pray for them 24/7.



Stay safe!

I am impressed by your thoughtful comments, and your lefty impression of Conservatives and Conservatism.

If you have the time, I'd like you to go to my blog and comment if you like. I have 2 blog items that may interest you -- one called "Let's Be Optimists" and one called "IT'S ABOUT TIME", about Mitt Romney's speech.

BTW...Rush Limbaugh may be a blow hard, but I like his take on lefties, and find him to be entertaining. He usually is right on, in my opinion.

Mom in Wisconsin --P.S. Come home safely!
