They want war as long as they aren't the ones to fight in them. Then they don't want to do anything to help the vets that return with broken bodies and broken emotions.

“Military men are just dumb stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.” – Henry Kissinger

What a disgusting, pathetic bunch the republicans are.

According to the discussion linked. The quote marks go from "dumb" to "used"

It's a disgusting sentiment and should be considered unpatriotic. It's no wonder that Cheney/Bush tapped him to be involved with the 9/11 "investigation". And no wonder that he had to step down.

Absolutely!

The right says all the right words about freedom not being free, but they don't want to lift a finger or pay a dime to those who have sacrificed themselves, their lives, their families, their careers, their emotional and financial well being, and more in the name of defending this country's freedoms.

I have had those kinds of stuttering episodes frequently, usually when I'm nervous or am talking too fast. I bust my way through them by using my hands to pound out the syllables until I've finished a sentence or two. But I don't think I see that being the issue here for O'Donnell. Makes me a little worried. :-/

evade all responsibilities

let others pay, suffer or take up the slack

lie, cheat or manœuvre

garner wealth, credit or power to which you are not even remotely entitled.

Mitt Romney is a despicable unprincipled man.

Money, his family and the Mormon church are the only things he values.

He doesn't care how he attains his money.

He doesn't care how many people or families are destroyed in his quest for money.

His allegiance is not to the United States.

His allegiance is to global corporations and spreading Mormonism around the globe.

Wars is for little people, like the 47 percent he scold as un-necessary and just a waste of time... If it was up to Romney and CO, the little people, should just be kept in barracks, ready to be served as military cannon fodder for the big coporations...

To them the 47% are nothing more than a necessary evil to drag out for their wars and labor when need be because we are considered to be expendable.

Remember that skeevy POS who got on the teevee and encouraged people to join the war? Of course, he didn't.
