Boxer's Low Blow

Boxer's remarks, despite your opinion of them, are fairly accurate - neither she nor Rice have family members in Iraq, so they aren't really the ones who will be paying the price when our soldiers are killed, are they?

no matter how much you grasp to that straw MM, it will slip through your fingers...

that's the difference .....

Democrat lie... I did not have sex with thatwoman....result of lie..... stained dress.

My kids are tooyoung to serve.... result of lie.... Mysterman beats breast.



Republican lie.....they have weapons of mass destruction capable of reaching American soil..... results of lie.... sovereign country.... ruthless dictator or not... blown into servitude to American strongmen and blown back into the 19th. century... uncountable lives lost and ruined.... greatest country in the world reduced to object of either hatred, butt of jokes, or both.

The only problem I have with what Boxer said is this...SHE LIED!!!

She said her children were to old,when she knows that isnt true.
Her children are in their 30's,and they are within the age limit to join the military.

Assuming that Bush lied,which I dont believe,you are then saying that a lie is perfectly acceptable and should be allowed?
So it depends on the severity of the lie?

The overwhelmingingly vast majority of soldiers have not died nor been injured in this war.

The overwhelmingly vast majority of the members of the House and Senate do not have children in military service.

To try and make a point that "only families with military members" are paying the price is flat ignorant and/or stupid.

EVERY AMERICAN will pay a price for this war and EVERY AMERICAN has an interest in the outcome.

Blowhard Boxer is once again using a cheap tactic to demonstrate her inability to ask a relavant question by going the "BOO-HOO" route.

Do you have a point to make ??

Are you suggesting only those people who have children/family in Military servce should determine the actions of our military?

What is it exactly you are trying to point out with you senseless post?

Are you suggesting that when a war is undertaken, casualties should have no part in the deliberations?

As for your snide "Boo Hoo" comment when the issue of casualties is brought up-well, you said it, you're stuck with it.

Boxers comments were insulting to not only the Secratary of State but insulting to me personally.

Mysteryman, cut the baloney, will you?

Just what percentage of the people in Iraq or Afghanistan are people who first signed up for the military when they were in their thirties?

Notice I did not say were in their thirties when they were over there. Signed up when they were in their thirties. Because of the people over there in their thirties, the overwhelming majority first entered the Guard when they were in their teens and twenties and were called up later.

How many times have you heard of somebody who was 33 years old, had never been in the military before, going down to the military recruiters to sign up?

Please.

The more you strain and strain to try to make a case here, the more idiotic you look.

No they weren't.

You may have decided to feel insulted, but her words weren't insulting to you; they were the truth, namely, that you don't have a kid in the war who will come home in a body bag someday.

So when we discuss the price of the war, it doesn't hit home quite as hard for you, does it?

Now, if you do have a kid in Iraq, I take it back; but I'm guessing you don't, and therefore, what Boxer said is accurate. It's easy to send others away to their deaths. Makes a more cavalier attitude about the whole thing when there is no personal involvement.
