you forgot this one much more recent history.

Horseshit! Unlike you, that man saw first hand the end result.

Ask an Iraqi citizen how they feel about it. They're certainly more appreciative and thankful to the brave men and women of the US Armed Forces than alot of Americans.

So much for patriotism, honor and freedom.. So much for respect.

ANYONE WHO PUTS THEIR OWN LIFE ON THE LINE TO BENEFIT THE WELL BEING OF ANOTHER HUMAN BEING DESERVES NOTHING SHORT OF HONOR AND RESPECT, IRREGARDLESS OF THE INTENT OR REASONS PRESENTED BY THE GOVERNMENT.

Are you fucking illiterate? I am referring to the soldier who lost his limb, not McCain.

You forgot Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein.

to that video i say STFU and get a job, i've had enough of this partronizing soldiers, fight for my country and shit when i see innocent women being raped and blown up for being simply an Iraqi, fuck that

GTFO of Iraq.

just as i suspected... no one here knows or are you heading out to google to start looking shit up..

classic... :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I will tell you,obama is the first politician that ever moved me.

My bad...

Was Reagan for me. :winkwink:

20 years ago you were.....?

Republicans and their beloved economy killing Reagan :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

i will be the first to admit that i dont know much detail of their plans.. a know a little, but what i am basing my decision on is that when you have a mixed party congress and president, almost nothing gets done.

i am voting for obama (the first time i voted since i voted for perot) because congress is democrat. i am hoping that with a democrat pres and congress some shit might actually get done.

i also like obamas pledge to open up govt to the US people by making more of the political process viewable on tv or the web.. i really hope this happens even if mccain wins..

people need to see whats really going on in washington...

Fuck you pal! You pick on a soldier because of what a few people did? Get over it and if you do not like it move the fuck to France!

This is not a typical soldier, this is one who turned himself or allowed himself to be turned into a political message using his disability as an emotional stimulant. Comments directed at him or the video should not be taken as addressed at the military as a whole or all soldiers.

When you make yourself part of the campaign you also make yourself open to criticism.

15 whats your point?


20 years ago you were..... ?

How many has Bush killed?

A charismatic candidate with radical marxist underpinnings, offering a promise of national salvation and sweeping social change, who inspires a cult-like following of true believers to near-religious zealotry should scare the living hell out of every American.

wtf.. none of you other than tony has a reason why they are voting for a particular person?

you are a die hard republican.. you should be able to answer the question i have asked 3 times in this thread, right?

Your such a fucking fake, Soldiers right out of boot can work in S1 for the Army its an Administrative Section, for the USMC its Personnel Office.

If so outline the first 4 chapters of the FMI manual.

S1 - Personnel / Administrative
S2 - Intelligence
S3 - Operations
S4 - Logistics
S5 - Civil Affairs
S6 - Computers/Automation

Just so you know the biggest tax increases during peacetime in the history of this country happened during reagan.

national review not a liberal publication

I concur.

Reminds me of Pol Pot, Mao Zedong, Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.

Was that in 2003 that he won the best President in History? :winkwink:

He won it according to who? He is not greater to this country than thomas jefferson or at least 5 others off of the top of my head not even fucking close. Also what does that have to do with him raising taxes?

still waiting for people to step up to the plate.... :Oh crap

yes, you especially sticky.... :thumbsup

It was a nationwide vote, was a 2 or 3 day special they ran on Nbc. Matt Lauer was the host for it. You were only allowed one vote per phone number.

Whats it have to do? It has to do with that apparently people like him a lot, so I guess they just ignored their taxes being raised.. lol

Going into specifics when discussing politics on gfy? Are you serious. Isn't that like trying to teach a 2 year old advanced meta physics?

so, you dont know why you are voting for mccain?

According to the Congressional Budget Commission on Pg.5 OTA U.S. Department of Treasury he didnt raise taxes.

Reagan placed tax policies based on supply-side economics of a critical budget bill, written by Dems. The signed legislation raising the Social Security tax rate that was part of the budget bill that was in Congressional limbo for over months.

So whats he going to do not sign the budget bill for the nation? Or move the county forward and release funds. Regan broke the Democrats back for 4 months over the budget bill until it was unanimously agreed upon. Further more the President can't raise or lower taxes. That is a function of the Congress by way of the House Committee on Ways and Means and the Senate Finance Committee, along with the members of both bodies.

On a side note, the bill he signed was a stack of paper about 10 inches in thickness. He displayed it on TV in disgust as a sign of displeasure by what the Democats had become.

You can educate yourself by reading the Supply-Side Tax Cuts Policy Analysis but i doubt anyone will do it, most everyone on here is to lazy to care.

Personally I wouldn't of picked any of the candidates that are up this year. Am I a big McCain fan? No not really. Do I trust Obama to be our president before I would trust McCain? Nope not even close. Regardless of a signal I wouldn't vote for him. He comes off as untrustworthy, and transparent. The majority of Americans will be voting with me imo. But time will tell.

What exactly makes them "elitist"? And isn't it a good thing to have an "elite President". I mean if I'm going into surgery, I'll take the "elite doctor" over the average one.

thank you... thats a legitimate answer...

so far only you and tony offer up a reason as to why you are voting for a particular candidate thats not based on what the media has told you...

Then why aren't you fighting in it? Weird how so many people are passionate about what the war did but not passionate enough to actually enlist. So all human beings are entitled to freedom as long as you don't have to do any of the stuff to make it happen.

Pardon me? Know who the fuck your talking to/about before jumping to baseless conclusions.

It's a serious question. There are people going on their 3rd and 4th tours. If you've been in the military, why not re-enlist? If not, why not enlist?

Thats the weakest argument, and most common.

Not really. If you're passionate about the reasons for war, then why not fight in it? You're healthy and would benefit the cause. If I felt the need for war was necessary, I'd enlist immediately.

Guess it's just easier to send poor kids over to die for your cause than to do it yourself.

i support the troops, but i do not support the war.. therfore, i would not enlist in any armed service...

if the US was ever invaded, i would be the first to go sign up... :2 cents:

DOD prohibits the enlistment of any applicant who has more than two dependents under the age of 18. I have three.

are you a single parent?
