Good point Subman, but I still hope there is somebody else there to remind some of the undecided into this vitriolic guy who is part of Obama's past associates.

Most military are conservatives, if you haven't noticed. Not all though. But you are on a military related website.

Liberals like getting rid of weapons, so it doesn't make much sense to find them here, unless they are European.

Hey, they can be conservatives, nothing bad with that.. I just don't see what the racist/almost fashist and religiously zealous views of the other half of Republican ticket have anything to do with conservativism any more. If anything it is the Ultra Right Nationalist ticket these days...


but ok, here's to cheer up our military friends, a little military cartoon. :)

It would be most appropriate if Obama and Biden where in your army man pictures. Historically, Democrats are the most likely to go to war, especially when there hasn't been an attack on US interest.

If you don't like war, you are less likely to get one with a Repub in office.

And Conservatives like killing people with weapons.

See, I can act like an ass, too. However, the difference is, it's an act for me.

Doesn't look like republicans like McCain that much....

I know that he is trying to beat Obama, but at least he still shows some decency in how he conducts himself.

This is kind of a cool map:

Shows how many troops died under each party - up to present day.

PeriscopeDepth 10-12-08 08:21 PM

Gosh! You get to attack Dems for being both spineless wimps and warmongers, that hardly seems fair or logical.

World War I--Woodrow Wilson, Democrat
World War II--Franklin Roosevelt, Democrat
Korea--Harry Truman,Democrat
Vietnam--John Kennedy/Lyndon Johnson,Democrat/Democrat
Somalian Debacle--William Clinton,Democrat
Kosovo--Bill Clinton, Democrat

You can do the math on the casualties, although casualties is not the subject

Granada--Ronald Reagan, Republican
The Noriega Caper--Ronald Reagan, Republican
Gulf War I--George Bush the Senior, Republican sort of
Gulf War II--George W Bush, Republican in name only

We lost more men in one day at Tarawa than all the Republican wars combined.

In fairness, the Democratic party before Lyndon Johnson would all be Republicans today. Kennedy, for example, was the first president to preach and use supply side economics. I remember my Republican parents being totally opposed to Kennedy's tax cut that resulted in an unprecedented surge of prosperity for the country. All Reagan did was copy Kennedy's great economic comprehension.

But as far as the OP is concerned, there will be no President McCain. He failed in communicating his ideas in a compelling way. It isn't enough to believe the right things. If you can't lead or can't communicate the right ideas in a way that compels people to adopt them, other ideas will win. McCain had several softballs float right over the plate during the last debate, a couple of them tossed by Obama and he didn't even swing at them. I'm voting for him but he deserves to lose. Too bad Obama doesn't deserve to win.

That's actually a major issue when you are counting war casualties by political party for the past several hundred or so years and tabulating them in two neat little columns. Unfortunately for the guy who posted that link with wars and casualties, those two columns have only existed in their present form since the mid 20th century.

But hey, like that web site's tag line says: "See 231 years of history in 90 seconds".

And the post before he says to a forum member:
"If you ever went to college, you would know that."
And I just don't have it in me to stoop to that level of "intellectual superiority" that belittles forum members for their supposed lack of education while posting links to websites that let you "See 231 years of history in 90 seconds".

So really, you should vote Whig, or Federalist, or Democratic Republican, since they have the best records.

I'm a 3rd party advocate myself. One of the guys, can't remember his name right off, I just got up, but his slogan is, "We gave this nation liberty once before, so it looks like it's up to us to do it again".

Though it would be refreshing, it would be a great culture shock to not have government in an intrusive manner. It would take some getting used to.

Where was this hiding during the primaries? http://www.metacafe.com/watch/827544...es_uncensored/

Here's a little joke,

Washington DC is the only place in the world where you can run for ten square miles, and never leave the scene of the crime.
