I see no irony. Only corporate w h o r e s can be elected president in this country, be they Dem or Repub.

Big morons don''t have big money. They bet on the outcome and the influnce they can buy.

Obviously, big money isn''t betting on the Repubs. That''s obvious.

The Republicans took the Republicans down in 2006. Not the Liberals my friend.

[hillaryin08]

Just follow the money...the Dem candidates have raised about $250 million to date while the Repubs have raised just a little over half that amount.

Says it all.

Awareness of suicide among Iraq and Afghanistan veterans was heightened earlier this year when the Army said its suicide rate in 2006 rose to 17.3 per 100,000 troops %u2014 the highest level in 26 years of record-keeping.

The Department of Veterans Affairs tracks the number of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who commit suicide, but only if they have been discharged from the military.

The Pentagon tracks the number of suicides in Iraq and Afghanistan. For an earlier story, a Pentagon spokeswoman told The Associated Press the military does not keep track of whether active duty troops who took who took their own lives served in Iraq or Afghanistan.

The majority of Americans dont hate the Republicans. Only the far left wing of America does. Remenber lib, the leftys of yesterday took down the Democrat party in 1968 not the Republicans.

(CBS) A CBS News investigation found that, in 2005, an average of 120 people each week who had served in the military committed suicide.

Ok libs, mabe you should take time to read the study by CBS and also see how they changed their toon in the past four weeks. The origional article four weeks ago said "120 people each week who had served in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan" so which is it?

CBS also failed to mention that Firefighters, Police and a half a dozen other high stress occupations follow the same suicide demographics as the military.

The latest revelation now is 120/wk people whe have ever served in the military which constitutes 6% of the US population (18 million). Get it straight CBS......

The administration points to the "fact" that military suicides are reflective of the suicide rate among the civilian population.
See%u2026we really don%u2019t have a problem here folks. Let Johnny blow his head off%u2026that%u2019s one less vet we have to pay benefits to. That savings can then be directed to funding additional wars%u2026it%u2019s a great scheme. If more people thought like republicans do, then the war industry in the country would be a LOT more profitable than it already is!!! So, using my new found admiration for the neocon thought process, I say, go ahead Mr./Ms. Vet, blow you head off and help an industrialist! It%u2019s the American thing to do! 4 more years! 4 more years! 4 more years! Whoo%u2026whoo%u2026whoo!!!! Join the neocon thought process folks%u2026there%u2019s bliss in oblivion.
