the closing remarks by former pow rep i think from texas was powerful.. it really wakes you up how we see the same situation so differently. one man a general cut and run . the other support the sacrifices our men and women are making to protect our country. our system may not be error free,, but it is free, one can call someone a coward and several can run across the aisle but we didn't come to fist fights, shootings, car burnings. majority ruled. well looked like it was all make believe when it was over. democrats voted to what polls say vs what they feel again to hold their jobs. free to bad mouth on talk shows, but when it comes to vote ,, vote what the majority of public poll says vs. what i feel.

thousands of our military are as pleased as I am with the results. The military hates game playing. The active duty responses I've read indicate they feel like their government is playing a game and they are the ball getting kicked around. This political game was an enormous mistake. War is not a game to those on the front lines. Like Clinton's crew (and Kerry's), the current crop of dumb demos have succeeded in making some military members feel like suckers. I predict huge repercussions. These men won't demonstrate loudly as the pols do. They will vote with their feet... silently. Watch the reenlistment numbers over the next six months. I predict a significant drop and it will be directly attributable to a feeling of lack of mission support. Nobody wants to be the last soldier killed in a war in which their government surrenders.
