If I was a Democrat: Say that my candidate is for one side of an issue in one speech and then against it in the next. That makes sure you can get voters on both sides of an issue to vote for you. If I was a Republican: Point out the fact that a candidate can't be on both sides of an issue. But since I'm an Moderate Independent: cry into my d
Actually GX What is not reported here much is that Germany has a large number of troops there. I still have a few German friends, from when I lived in Germany, that are bewildered that the US news media does not point this out. My friends feel the main reason for them not sending troops now, is because they are helping us more in Afghanistan. Why should they remove troops from a place
I would like to take a moment to congratulate Afghanistan for holding their first elections. They can now be called a Democratic country. Bravo to you Afghanistan. No major acts of violets was even committed. Lets give them three cheers people” HOORAY, HOORAY, HOORAY <img src="../images/s
Riddle me this Steve: Which guy during the debate said that there will be no Draft while they are President and while which avoided the answer? One hint: The man who is implying that there will be one, is the same one that is avoiding the answer. Now if your basing your vote on wanting a draft, then Vote for Kerry. But if you are just wanting to try and scare some weak knead draft dodgers that gets their only news from Moveon.org,
The most interesting thing about the debate was the fact that the moderator Mr. Gibson had to ask twice about how they were going to cut the deficit Once after Mr. O’Brien’s about spending: GIBSON: I both — I heard you both say — I have heard you both say during the campaign, I just heard you say it, that you're going to cut the deficit by a half in four years. But I didn't hear one thing in the last three and a half minutes that woul
No Suprise here. Look at what Clinton and Gore got away with China. They even wanted to make China Strategic Allies. What make anybody think that Kerry is not going to do the same path, but with other countries. He still refuses to state what countries have contacted him offering him support if he become President. The Saudis (Bush's Allies) have scheduled thei
I do agree when it comes to reservist units that poor follow up training does happen. (My first year in service was a reservist). They are some times called stocking stuffers, during mobilizations. But I have been dealing with National Guardsmen as of late. I would have to say over 50% of the National Guard force are prior military. Allot depends on the unit and State that they are in. The Nevada Armored Cav. Bn. is the reserve Bn. to the

Texas Wahine, dharmagrl, drmiler, and Grim Xiozan Sorry, for not replying since lunch time. Life has over taken me for the next two days. I also know of the hard conditions that a young soldier faces. I myself do not see how a E-3 and below can effectively raise a family. Yet alone having them forced in by a draft. My first paychecks was only $351.00. The Military pay has increased more in the last four years then any other time

She's talking to the same kind of people I'm talking to. People who are walking the walk, and are serving their country, not just those who sit around and talk. People are getting out left and right, basically because they're getting treated like shit. Underpaid, overdeployed, overworked, undertrained....the benefits aren't wha
Oh, and who wrote this article? I don't think it was you, as far as I can see you haven't written anything yet. Can you link to it, please? I wrote the post, but the info came from the Army Times. Link <br
Believe what you'd like...I was relaying an acedotal story (that, by the way did occur)...you are free to disagree, but please refrain from calling me a liar. I'm not calling you a liar.

I had drinks a couple of weeks ago with two guys training for the Special Forces. They were voting Bush and I asked why. The quieter, more thoughtful one told me "we were ordered to." I laughed, and he said, "no, really, we were." Apparently when they were filling out their forms for absentee ballots, they were told that they co
Echoing previous Military Times polls and other research, the survey found a group with a close affinity for the Republican Party. About 60 percent of those surveyed identified themselves as Republicans, while 13 percent consider themselves Democrats and 20 percent independents. This is correct, I misquoted the Star as say
The biggest difference between John Kerry and Bush--particularly in a time of war--is that John Kerry actually shed blood for his country. That’s no a proven fact yet. Kerry refuses to release that info (Check out the Kerry web site his medical records are not posted, Why?). <TABLE cell
Daiwa,. A good start to a plan for securing Iraq would have been--as Shinseki argued for and Bremer now admits--putting more troops on the ground to prevent the looting and to provide security. I think they honestly expected to be welcomed as liberators...fools. This just shows that they were wrong to go in and beyond that, they
Are you kidding I got my weapons from the future nice awesome laser rifles! Cool Slice them and cook them at the same time. Ummmmm, roasted Dinosaur. Save me a leg, man.
Interesting that Edwards never brought up one of the main topics of their health care plan: Cut Your Premiums John Kerry and John Edwards will cut family premiums by up to $1,000. That's $1,000 in real savings people can use to buy groceries, pay the bills, and save for their children's future. And that will mean more jobs and more competitive American businesses. http://www.johnkerry.com/issues/health_care/ I th

Unless they are the same poll for the entire military or was it Branch Oriented? It was the entire military Active, Guard & Reserve. The Army, Air Force, and Navy Times all use the same base stories, but each of them research stories for their respective branchs too.
If Bush is a Chaney or Rove puppet. Thats ok with me. You have said the they are Geniuses. I would rather have a President having his strings pulled by a genius, then have a President who is an idiot and gets his strings pulled a diffrent way by every opinion poll published to futher his own career at the cost of others. That's My Two Cents
I agree. You notice that after the first question Edwards didn't smile at the camera again until the final statements. I also didn't see Chaney smile once, just a cool CEO doing his job. I've always thought Chaney was the real President and Brush is nothing more then a puppet. But a puppet that is still getting his strings pulled by a smart Cookie is OK with me. I also think the moderator did a good job on both side.
Unfortunately GX, we can go back in time and have then die in a better place.
