McHero? The GOP is into symbols...and the best Symbol for Politics are HEROs
But is McSame a Hero?...a real hero, a hyped up one, or a false hero?

So who are Heros?

Those that perform above and beyond the call of Duty...usually throwing ones self on a grenade saving the rest of the squad, etc

But what of them blokes who broke the Japanese Code...thereby saving tons of lives and made it possible to win Victories in naval Battles??? Where are their Medals?

and the Peace Corp guys??? Where are their Medals???

There are so many other Heros in almost every aspect of our lives....Acts/Deeds/and Ideas that save misery, energy, and Lives..all missing Recognition on a National Scale...

instead we see a Freedom Medal going to George Tenet...who fucking lied to our Nation...WTF?? A Medal for LYING????

We are so fucked....

7. He didn't even vote against torture
when he had the chance.

He's no longer a POW, so what does he care.


Not his problem.

Wife gets injured? no problem. Divorce her and get a new one.


What a piece of garbage he is.

3. A symbol
is only as valid as its connection to some reality. They trash real symbols in our party and hype up lies for theirs. The relative success of both processes- which never work in full because of the reality limits of the lie- depend on fraud in media and election fixing to even have a show of working.

The only symbol of the GOP campaign is an ironic one. A prisoner in shackles bowing to brutal psyops power.

10. Kerry....Who is a REAL HERO....when his own troops vouched for him
described a decision to reverse the boat for a fallen crew member at great risk...and was over shadowed by swift boat crap...ya know these GOP fuckers are SATANIC and EVIL...violating the Good Lords Bible and code of conduct..

Kerry earned his medals

McFriendMyAss got his but is mis-using them to advance his AMBITION....

Thats not a Hero we can believe in.....
