Vietnam...never surrender!

Thanks go only to people like Kerry who had the courage to speak up and save the lives of our young American soldiers, and Vietnamese lives, too.

1. Yes,
All war, all the time. They and their friends thrive on it. They are the Military Industrial Complex.

2. Well the children of most Republicans would still be in finishing school
but ... point taken.

3. Excellent point.
There is really no reason to argue. Vietnam was the biggest mistake this country made in the 20th century. Once again we're seeing how stubborn and die-hard the belligerent right wing militarists in this country were then and are now. Iraq really is Vietnam all over again in more ways than one.

4. Yes, and Dan Quayle's vice president would now

be running for his second term as president.


Nixon wouldn't have resigned, so Gerald Ford would never have been president.

Jimmy Carter would never have been president, either, because Reagan would have run and been elected four years earlier.

That puts Poppy Bush in the White House four years earlier, too.

Dan Quayle (or some other puppet) would have been put in in 1992 and re-elected in 1996.

Quayle's Veep (or some other puppet) would have been put in in 2000 and be running for a second term in 2004.

If Republicans' dreams all came true. . .

5. Send future Democrats to Die!
The Grand Strategy of the Republican Party is to send mostly young and poor kids to war, to die, knowing that if they live they will likely be Democrats! What more effective way to suppress the Democratic vote?
