7. What swine these people are. They send troops into combat
under trained, keep rotating them back in, set them up like bowling pins without a recognizable enemy, feed them bad food and bad water, neglect to issue them fucking ARMOR, neglect their care when they get home and then they dare to claim they "support the troops".

With friends like these.

8. Not to mention that they could have tanks that would prevent
a lot of the loss of limbs and death. But hey, Bush only cares about killing Iraqis and our own troops are out of luck. We should put him out there without proper training, no body armor and a tank that should have been retired by now for much better technology. He is a disgusting, inhumane person. :evilfrown:

13. And he's been enabled by creeps like McConnell for years.
We focus on Bush but he's had plenty of support from the Greedy Old Party.

9. They support the troops the same way that
Their tax policy helps the middle class and *small* business

The same way that their health care policy allows us all the freedom to choose whichever doctor or medical treatment that we desire

The same way that their policies on the environment, and food, drugs and personal care products allows us to watch endless commercials describing the benefits of an endless supply of toxins to ingest, emit and consume, without ever mentioning the poor oversight? (Care for a little GMO in your jelly while I spritz the room with benzene to ward off odors?)
