Who Served, Who Didn't: Do We See A Pattern Here?

 

BushWatcherNewsLink: http://www.rense.com/general58/pattern.htm

Please Cross Post!RECOGNIZING THOSE WHO SERVED It is interesting to note who is willing to put his life on the line for what he believes in...and who is not. This could be the last election where military service in Vietnam has any political currency. But just for the record, it's worth noting who really served among the heavyweights in each of the major political parties. Be sure to check out the bottom of the list where the people who spend their time jabbering about military service, (the TV pundits) have their military credentials exposed. Read it and weep...for your country.

Hi Rita and Others,

While I appreciate many of your posts, I'm just

curious, how will this stuff help someone accross the

world to make a difference, when that person's

objective for joining this list is purely a passion

for environment ?

 

If anything, partisan content like this would make any

american even with republican leanings look at this

list through the tinted shades of political

skullduggery rather than focus on issues, where

particular parties may be taking a less than mature

approach towards environment.

 

If anything, Republican supporters have proven in past

that they can get Bush to shift on issues he is

otherwise indifferent to just because the issue is

important to a certain branch of Bush supporters (as

happened in the case of Bush's rollback/change of path

on his stand on wetlands, because he felt he'd

alienate republicans who were into hunting).

 

What do you think ?

 

Best Wishes and Regards,

 

NS
