"Pull me out, too."
"Surprising Political Endorsements By U.S. Troops

Only moments before speaking with ABC News, the troops had been listening to Vice President Dick Cheney give a rousing speech, but it didn't change their political preference.

Spc. Imus Loto said he supported Obama. "It will be something different. But he's out there and he'll probably support us a lot more."

By support, Loto meant pulling out troops. "Pull me out, too." he said."

Spc. Loto ----> :patriot:

1. Cheney? Rousing?
I would need video and a notary.

2. I think it was meant to read "rousting". Maybe even "roasting".

5. I'm gonna guess "rusting"
Next time, spring for the stainless steel heart, Dickie.

3. Lower ranked soldiers have a tendency to go dem...
more than the officers and higher ranked soldiers. They usually go repuke for the most part.

The lower ranked...like this Spc. is only an E4...go Dem much of the time.

My nephew is on his third tour right now and he'll tell you that most NCO's and enlisted despise bush and cheney. Rumsfeld is hated far more than bush and cheney combined. He doesn't know a soldier who would say one good thing about Rummy.

4. If it was cheney, they probably left the "G" off
and meant grousing.
