1. Thank you for your humility and honesty in admitting that.....
My husband comes home from his second 15 month tour in Iraq in a couple of weeks, and in his behalf as well, I thank you for your candor.

It's not easy to admit something like that.

2. I'm a vet .. and since W got into office I have dedicated my life to getting him out.
I knew we were going after Saddam, the excuses were just yet to be made public.

A small thing like going to vote ... a small inconvenience, a little chore.

And so much misery, debt, and death.

5. All those Dems who didn't show up in '04 are just as guilty. All those 40 yr olds registering -
to vote for the first time in this election are just as guilty.
