GOLD Star Mother's & HILLARY... If You Haven't Read It Yet... Here It Is!!
This may have been posted already... don't know, but what I DO know is that I've received this email from THREE different STUPIDIOS today! Bold 24 Point type at least! I'm not exactly a Hillary supporter at this point in time. I once was really hyped about her, but was ALWAYS nervous about HER being the Dems 2008 nominee! What you are about to read was the FIRST reason I felt it would be wrong for Dems to make her the nominee. I've been getting Clinton crap up the Wa-zoo lately, pot shots at both of them.

So I ask you, if this is what I'm getting now, what do you suppose they'll be sending me next??? I graduated from high school at Killeen, TX... many of you may already know that this is also known as Ft. Hood, TX, about 40 miles from Crawford. I went to school with people who graduated and made their home there, I go back for Class Reunions... they know my political views even though I no longer "go there" with them. Some aren't Bushies, but many that are just can't help themselves and keep sending this crap to me! I posted another rather nasty piece of email here last week, but more keeps filling up my mail box. For the most part I simply ignore them and don't act like I even saw the mail... but it's getting DEEP NOW!

THEY have Hillary targeted, shot and hung out to dry... these are the "scary" people who don't seem to "get it" and blindly follow The Royal Idiot no matter what. More than TWO YEARS OUT, and they have begun the assault! If anyone thought "Swift-boating" was bad, just sit back for the ride they have in store for Hillary! I could go on and on, but just getting to the point... is THIS what Democrats want to answer to over and over and over and over if Hillary is the nominee??? Just remember this was sent in BOLD 24 POINT type, just for that "added extra" affect. I don't intend to reply to anyone, I'll ignore them, but this stuff IS NOT going to stop! Now Read The Message! Sorry if it's been posted, but this says a lot and maybe some didn't see it yet. I have never checked into sizes or fonts here, so use your imagination! BOLD/24 PTS.

You really should be

sitting down when you

read this one.



Gold Star Mothers is an

organization made up of

women whose sons were

killed in military combat

during service in the

United States armed forces.



Recently a delegation of

New York State Gold Star Mothers made a trip to Washington, DC,

to discuss various concerns

with their elected

representatives.



According to published

reports, there was only

one politician who refused

to meet with these ladies.



Can you guess which politician

that might be?





Was it New York Senator

Charles Schumer? Nope, he met with them.




Try again.




Do you know anyone serving

in the Senate who has never

showed anything but

contempt for our

military?




Do you happen to know

the name of any politician

in Washington who's

husband once wrote of his

loathing for the military?

Now you're getting warm!

You got it!






None other than the

Queen herself, Hillary Rotten Clinton.
She refused

repeated requests to meet

with the Gold Star Mothers.






Now, please don't tell me

you're surprised. This

woman wants to be President

of the United States --- and

there is a huge percentage

of Voters who are eager to

help her achieve that goal.





May you sleep in peace

always...and please....hug or

thank a Veteran for that

privilege.




Think about this one !!!






Don't forget, our girl,

Hillary Rodham Clinton,

as a New York Senator,

now comes under this

fancy congressional

Retirement and Staffing

Plan..



It's common knowledge

that, in order for her to

establish NYS residency,

they purchased a million+ dollar house in upscale

Chappaqua , NY.





Makes sense.




Now, they are entitled to

Secret Service protection

for life.




Still makes sense.




Here is where it becomes interesting. The mortgage

payments hover at

about $10,000 per month.

BUT, an extra residency

had to be built within the

acreage in order to house the

Secret Service agents..





The Clinton's now charge

the Secret Service $10,000

monthly rent for the

use of said

Secret Service residence

and that rent is just about

equal to their mortgage

payment, .meaning that

we, the tax payers, are

paying the Clinton's

mortgage, their

transportation, their

safety and security, their

12 man staff, and it's all

perfectly legal.





Sincerely, Cdr. Hamilton McWhorter USN (ret)






PS: Please forward this to as many people as you can. We don't want this woman to even think of running for President. So, just how many people can you send this to? It will take no more than 2 minutes. Thanks

8. May Be Old.... But They're Digging It Up & Many Of "Their Kind"
don't even care! THEY BELIEVE IT ANYWAY! And WHY should I even acknowledge the email?? Sure I'd love to fire off some really "stick it to ya" stuff, but then that makes me just "one of them!" I've already stopped emailing one person because of this crap. She doesn't know she's off my list, but it will soon become evident. She won't get an answer from me either.

You know, I tried to find "middle ground" with them, told them we could be friends and NOT do the "political" stuff, but for some reason they just want to wallow in it. I'm sure I COULD find plenty to send them, but NEVER have! I mean, we have ALL KINDS OF STUFF that gets posted here. I send it around to like-minded friends, but have stayed away from going 12 rounds with THEM. I tried in the beginning to present "issues" that we could debate, but this is how it's ended up.

I've known some of these people for 20 years, we were high school pals... now I'm feeling like I want to nail them. But you know what they'll say? Oh, can't you take a joke?? That's how THEY act, don't want to tell the real truth, still want to be my friend... but for them it's OKAY!!

Yeah, my reaction is to say "Bite Me" but if they don't get a rise out of me they'll just have to wonder why. It's not going to stop either way, it could get worse!

9. Do you think we have a candidate the Repubs WON'T Swiftboat?
Any candidate running for any office can be smeared, pilloried, etc. by those who are willing to lie.

Look what they did to John Kerry. Or to Max Cleland (the triple amputee vet whose image they morphed with Osama bin Laden's ).

The reason Hillary is coming under so much vitriol is because she's currently the leading candidate.

Whether or not she's the best nominee shouldn't be decided on the basis of who the Republicans will attack. We know what they do now. They'd Swiftboat J.C. if they had the opportunity.

12. Point Taken... But They Have A "Double-Whammy" With This
Punch! They aren't going to just "DO" Hillary... they're going to "DO" BUBBA!!!

Over & Over & Over & Over!

I get what you're saying, but I'm getting PLENTY of Billy stuff too! I'm an Edwards supporter, I have wondered what they will pull out on him, but I really think the LONG NAILS are out for Hillary more than anyone else!

15. One thing I like about Hillary; she's not going to roll over and play dead
I think she has the capacity to fight back. . . but we'll see.

I don't know who I'll vote for in the primary but I'll be 1000% behind our eventual nominee.

11. I do not! want HRC for president, BUT Democrats should stand up
for the truth about her. You're right these are crazies, and no amount of truth is going to change their minds, but that does not change our responsibilities for the truth and for defending one of our own.

13. So You Say I Should Do A Number On Them??
I KNOW I have it in me, I can take 'em on, get down and dirty with the best of 'em. Some have even told me they "won't even do politics with me" because they know how closely I follow it.

Maybe I could use the "kill 'em with kindness" tactic, then throw in that "fool me once, shame on me type thing" that The Royal Idiot tried to pull off.

I'm thinking about it. I'm also thinking of telling them that each and every time I get one of their emails I send it to the blogs to show everyone just how STUPID they are. I know there are many ways to "swing the rifle" so to speak! Oh, I'm getting wound up now!

18. I hope you do, but . . .
don't lose them. If you tell them you're posting their crap here, they'll go underground on you and you won't be able to alert others to what the lies are specifically. There'll just be this increased level of hositlity toward HRC et al that we won't know how to counter specifically.

14. Remind them that both of the Clintons are best-selling authors and
that Pres. Clinton brings in a hefty sum for speaking appearances (as do all former Presidents).

THAT is where the mortgage payments are coming from.

What scum!

20. Thanks For The Interest... Just Got Back From A Meeting With
a financial adviser and need to do the "din-din" thing. I will look at the stuff you posted later this evening after din-din, dishes and walking the dog. Appreciate your interest... these people are real nut cases, but as I said. other than the political stuff we have been friends for quite some time. And ONE of them is my sister! She stayed in Texas and lives in Round Rock. My other 4 sisters are all Dems! Must be a Texas thingie! I know. it really isn't... but out of 6 girls and only one Repuke???

Rock & A Hard Place Time!!
