Duncan Hunter is insane- unofficial house debate thread

[itsmesgd]

"We never had body armour when I went to vietnam"
-in response to the criticsm of shrub sending them without armour.

so what's everyone complaining about- is the gist of his speech. Now we get a picture show of the troops supplies and uniform.

We should send them with the best that we have. We fought the revolution with muskets, so I guess our troops should be glad that they have more than a musket today.

[ourbluenation]

1. He just said that the troops are not under equiped. n/t

[AlCzervik]

2. i'm waiting for his Duke Cunningham like problems to break

and he'll be gone.

[GreenTea]

27. You may be waiting for years...can't wait we must take the offense!!!

ALL Republicans are filthy, dirty, lying, greedy criminals...but we can't just say well, I'll wait and hopefully someday they might get him...maybe they won't look how many of these criminals sit in congress everyday.

[justiceischeap]

3. I love how he keeps bringing up how we have so much more

Than we did in the Clinton administration.

[GenDem]

17. That was infuriating me

How many troops died under Clinton?

How about this dick Randy Forbes? Blaming the media for putting pressure on his colleagues, instead of the 70% of Americans that oppose this.

Now he's on World War II and Omaha Beach. Wonder what his service record is? How can this dick compare this illegal war with World War II?

[bluerum]

4. Yeah. And thousands died on D-day. What whiners we are. eom

[villager]

5. Friendly redundancy alert: (Republican name) and "insane" in any sentence...

;-)

[Breeze54]

9. LMAO!! SOP!

:rofl:

Yes! DH IS insane but what rethug isn't?? :shrug:

[itsmesgd]

12. sorry, I'll watch that next time

I guess as long as we don't lose as many troops as we did every day in Normandy then it's a victory?
HFS, these guys need to be run out of town.

[villager]

15. as long as they -- or their families -- aren't fighting,

it's a "victory" for them, since the spondulicks keep rollin' in...

[AlCzervik]

6. omg Randy Forbes, WTF???

[Eurobabe]

7. Hes'a nutcase

That schematic was over the top, and unreal.

[Union Thug]

8. And Charlemagne didn't have fully automatic weapons...

So, by that logic, our solidiers should be fine armed with bows and arrows and swords.

[SoCalDem]

10. don't forget his protestations about the Guantanamo prisoners..

TWO SERVINGS OF FRUIT.....AND CHICKEN....

I guess he thinks the should be fed sawdust patties or something like that..

[Graybeard]

19. He looked so stupid showing the food...

...that I said I wouldn't even hire him as a waiter. Now he wants to be Prez!?

[genie_weenie]

11. Well, everyone knows the troops of today

don't have the "balls" of those of yesteryear. And I'm not even bringing up that they let girls play soldier these days.

Yee-Ha Duncan Hunter excellent Front Man for the MIC!

[Sapphire Blue]

14. Now Forbes is re-living the 'D' Day Invasion. Oh, I see...

he said his daddy told him about it. And where did you serve Randy? Randy......?

[AndyA]

16. I'm praying for Forbes to get a sudden case of turbo diarrhea, but it hasn't happened yet.

That should shut him up quickly. I don't think anything else will.

[GenDem]

21. Ike Skelton just quietly bitch slapped him.

[NYC Liberal]

26. He's already got it, 'cept it's spewing from his mouth rather than the other end!

[BlueManDude]

18. Dornan was insane - Hunter is just loopy.

What is it with these crazy Cali GOP congress critters.

[cali]

20. He really IS nuts.

Anyone see that insane press conference he gave last year that was broadcast on C-Span? He had this plate of chicken and described in loving detail how this was the delicious food we served in Gitmo, and how we pampered the inmates there. Then he sat down and ate it, or pretended to eat it. Fucking loony.

[itsmesgd]

22. Jim Marshall D- 3rd GA is shaming me

A "D" for shit's sake.
We dems are never going to get anything together.

He's a Vietnam vet who is bitching about the anti-Vietnam protestors. Telling our troops not to be discouraged.

I have talked to troops. I live near the Airfield where thousands have left and are still leaving for the war. What discourages them is when BUSH cuts VA funding and sends Halliburton to feed them nasty food and dirty water. This is the democratic way of life that they are defending over there. If we just sit quiet and let the king rule without chek or balance, they are fighting for nothing.

Hallelujah, holy shit, pass the tylenol.

[Monkeyman]

23. He wants to run for President Nope

Hey dum crap we in Vietnam did not have updated equipment or you would of had it

[abluelady]

24. I Don't Know A Heck of Alot About the Military

But it seems to me that perhaps the equipment in the past was different because the weapons and ammunition were different. It was my understanding that we were sending our soldiers unequipped for the war they were fighting. Am I missing something here?

[ComerPerro]

25. please let him be the GOP nominee, we could crucify him with these quotes
