Senator Carl Levin for example. Too often there are a few key Democrats who let the Republicans win on these issues.

How? Shipping possible opposition(The 47% who feel entitled) to foreign lands to die for Corporate interests.

Romney's "kids" couldn't be bothered to serve. Romney couldn't keep out of France during Vietnam.
Newtered cried to daddy to keep money flowing so he could just play in college...He couldn't be bothered to serve.
Cheny's 5 deferments speaks loudly of his cowardice. At Least GW and poppy served in the military...They still have a distain for the little people.
Koch brothers...'nuff said.
Oreilly...fuck him
Limbaugh 50-million a year to talk hate...too chicken shit to serve his country. Talks tough, can't walk the talk.
Rubio
Boehner
Carnival Cruz
Palin
Blaugh-mann I mean Bachmann
Issa

These and other evil people (corporations are people, my friends) are what the military is defending..Not you or me, we do not count, we are not valuable to those Americans.

Why else would some of the best minds on the planet wage war on humanity, if they didn't expect to live here or somewhere else? They aren't suicidal and have a strong will to survive. Just putting in words the worst nightmare we have, being eliminated from the gene pool.

What are they defending? I think we know the answer. The bloat is completely unjustified.

Everyone here knows that, but that truth needs to be spread far & wide and show up on election day.
