I just read a thread suggesting Romney might be McLame's running mate.

[lpbk2713]

And then I read another thread (as I have read many other similar threads) pointing out how McLame thinks no one other than people who have served in the military have no right to express any opinions regarding anything to do with the military.

It leads me to this observation ... if Romney has several military age sons will they do the would-be McLame Administration proud and sign up? Or would they have something else to do that they would like better? Would it be just as well with them if someone else's sons or daughters went off in their place?

It seems chickenhawks like to talk a good game but when it comes time to put there money where there mouth is ... well, it's a different story.

It certainly won't be anything out of the norm for them not to serve. There are so many of their RW peers who decided they didn't want to back up their chickenhawk mantra when it was time to stand up and be counted.

The rethuglicans and their 'distinguished' records of defending their country ....

[Warpy]

1. I really don't give a rip who he picks

There is no way I or anyone I know is going to vote for that nightmare of a man to have his finger on the button.

2. I agree

IMHO McLame is going to go down in flames just like his five Navy jets.
