Hawking the poltical spinners.
LAUGHABLE...
Published on October 1, 2004 By hitparade In Politics
Because Kerry pounded lie after lie against President Bush in sound bites, rather than wordy Senatorial ESE, he's now the man for the job? He has no moral compass. In one week, uno, I guarantee the polls show Bush decisively pull ahead.

So get over it, Dems. … simply because Kerry pulled his long-winded foot out of his mouth, using simple and direct attacks doesn't change the irrevocable fact that he flips and flops. Don't you get it: Kerry believes the answer is blowing in the wind ... until the wind changes direction. The truth shall set you free!

Unless, of course, Kerry flips and flops. I got in some fishing by the way. The fish on the deck of a boat reminded of Kerry.

Clever, I like that. Yes, in some opinion polls, Bush is winning MO. . I can only go on your word and Lee's when referring to the military on your area, I know how things are here at Whiteman (you know, home of the B-2) and the reasons given for voting Kerry seem to jive. I'd like to hear why some of these servicemen would want to vote Bush.

This is good question, does Kerry reflect my value system? No. Neither does Bush, but that is beside the point, when you say Kerry has no moral compass, it is hard for me to imagine him running around town playing the devil. Do you think Bush accurately portrays what you believe to be a reflection of your own value system? No, I don't think so, if you do believe Bush has yours at heart, I think that you are mistaken. There are other reasons why I am voting this year. The ass in the white house has started America bleeding, now I don't think I'm going to find a doctor, but I will put another ass (the most likely contender, not Nader, nice try) in the white house and tell Washington that I'm not happy with what I got last time. Maybe he'll do better, maybe not, but I know what I'm NOT GETTING.

Clear?

1. Kerry's testimony in front of Congress in the 1972 (enough said).

2. Kerry's not funding body armor and armored Hummers. (Please don't through that old saying that Bush should have done something about it before the war. Because that legacy extends through Clinton and Bush Sr. Kerry voted against the budgets that increased the funding for these items. This was part of the axes to the defense budget and un-funding of military police actions that the military had to strip these programs in order to keep the readiness of Aircraft over 50%. Bush only had one year (his first years funding was passed before he came to office) to use the budget he was given to bring that readiness up again, but still managed to issued armor to Infantry. He had not gotten to the support troops at that time.)

3. Kerry and DNC keep relating the Army in general as a bunch of undisciplined frat boys because of the Prison scandal. (Every soldier in theater wishes to choke to death those guys)

4. He keeps saying everything is going to hell, giving the enemy that they fight every day more hope that they are winning.

5. Having to build bridges, roads, schools, and power networks to here that nothing has been done in Iraq to improve the standards of living from Kerry.

6. The Worse of all is having to look into the eyes of an Iraqi citizen wanting the US to stay and know the Kerry is most likely to pull the US troops out to early because it is more politically advantages to his political career.

7. This is an extension of number 6: Having to look into the eyes of an Iraqi soldier and Governmental employee fighting to bring liberty and freedom to their country, and then know that they will be the first to be beheaded when everything turns to Chaos because of number 6.

8. Know that they will have to be ordered to follow someone that was a glory hound, medal hunter, and left his comrades to fight for another eight months in Vietnam. Sure soldier don’t like serving tours of duty, but they don’t like when people leave early for no good reason other then to start a political career. (The book "Unfit for Command" is very popular there. Unlike many people, they know that the facts in Unfit matches reality more then Kerry's accounts)

The sad thing is, I could add more to this list myself. But these are just the reasons I heard from them.

This list was made from Army National Guard, former Active Army and Active Marienes joining the Guard units localy that serviced in Iraq.

That's My Two Cents

Thanks for the post, not all the soldiers see it that way, if they are voting at all.

Why Bush? I know that on 911three thousand (3,000) Americans were horrifically slain. One of the 23 police officers was a friend of mine. I know that the media did not show the droves, hundreds upon hundreds, who leaped to their death that day. Leaping so as not to be burned to death.

I know that a man named W stood on the ruble of what once was the twin towers and picked back up a Nation that buckled if not down right collapsed on that longest day in American history.

C’mon! You remember, Deference, cowering. W also picked you back up. C’mon! Admit it. Poppa Bush is who we all turned to. Your boy Kerry did as well-- looked to Poppa Bush for protection that longest day.

All of the mighty congressmen ran from the Capital that day. I will give Kerry this much credit. When fleeing, he stops and takes a good hard look to the sky as if looking for incoming. Who knows-- maybe he has a pair of balls to fight the war on terror? If elected, we'll see soon enough.

No problem.

I don't think all soldiers will vote this way. Because I know some do not think like the majority. But I will have to say one of the highest turnout rates of any group will be military personnel.

Now I remember that day, and I appreciate you reaching out, but I didn't look to politicians to cure my angst. I don't believe this administration handled that day, the days before (in hindsight), or this day as well as they could have and I don't believe they represent my interests, particularly keeping in mind the many policies and manuevers they've blazed trails on. I've repeated this line before, I don't think Kerry is some Godsend, but an example has to be made, the guy in office is screwing up and replacing him is the only option.

I don't have a problem with Bush's record being challenged. Comparing the records of the two candidates, Bush is the winner hands down. Is the incumbent a bit handicapped in these debates by virtue of the LOTFW/Candidate conundrum? Always. I, for one, think the majority of people will work their way past the style points scored by Kerry and remain focused on the substance. Just like it was too soon to consider the election over on Wednesday, it's not over on Friday, either.
