First off, some republican had the balls to email me and act like he knew something he didn't.

Two, I read his blogs about attacking Jim Webb and his patriotism calling him a "Benedict Arnold". Listen buddy, tell that to the Marines in Iraq. Here's the truth, Republicans for the most part have not and do not serve. They don't even have their kids serve.

Democrats on the other hand do. Democrats on the other hand have had many people step forward into harms way. It isn't what party is better for the troops or not. It's that Republicans have distorted the TRUTH. It's time for a little reality check.

Breathtaking list... (Loudoun County Dem - 8/29/2006 11:33:26 AM)
...Damn I'm proud to be a Democrat!!!


Easy Response (buzzbolt - 8/29/2006 11:38:50 AM)
drmontoya,  tell your Republican "friends" that the Army is taking recruits up to age 42.  If they are are under age 42 and have not signed up yet, they are Chickenhawk Hypocrites. 


To all veterans and service men and women: Thank You (RayH - 8/29/2006 12:24:25 PM)
Drmontoya, you were right to be outraged by a partisan attack on the service record of Jim Webb. This is a man who fought bravely and selflessly, and who has remained consistent to the highest ideals of patriotism throughout his life. His courage under fire is the kind of grit that we need in the US Senate today.



Here are some Americans of Indian Descent you can point out (Doug Garnett-Deakin - 8/29/2006 1:13:08 PM)
and a damn fine diary slamming Allen again.

Yes, This is one of the best written diaries I have read... (Loudoun County Dem - 8/29/2006 1:27:30 PM)
...I recommend it as well...


I actually heard the Benedict Arnold comment (David M - 8/29/2006 1:36:05 PM)
on primary day while I was standing out in from of my poll trying to encourage people to vote for Jim.

The guy's voice was dripping with contempt. I pretty much have never heard such hatred coming from one person in my life. I guess this is what it means to be a Republican under Bush. A party that has nothing to offer but fear and hatred itself.

List of Bush Administration war heroes: 0 

We're talking donuts here.

Members of the Republican elite that took a pass to serve their country when they could have become battlefield patriots:


Christ, I'm sick of this stench already, here's the f*cking link. Go make your skin crawl.

Note: Not for the faint of heart.
