An Urgent Call to Republicans

[hadrons]

Hey, Republicans! If you voted for this war, go fight in it.
By Donald Trader

I'd like to put out an urgent call to Republicans to make sure their sons and daughters volunteer for active military service. Uncle Sam needs you. National Guard and Army Reserve recruitment is falling short by some 50%, and it's getting tougher and tougher for the Marines, the Army and the other services to get the kind of recruit they want. Wait a minute -- the Marines and the Army ought to be flooded with volunteers!

...

Some 59,000,000 Americans voted for George Bush and the Republicans. That includes the majority of the people in Tennessee. So why are we short of recruits to fight in Iraq? We ought to be inundated with enthusiastic volunteers. Tomorrow morning, I'd like to see 59,000,000 SUV's pulling up in front of Marine Corps and Army enlistment offices. I see Tax Cut Hummers full of happy families, including healthy looking young people, whizzing by U.S. recruitment offices, and I wonder what the problem is: brake failure every time you get close to signing up to fight in a war you supported for a President you elected?

Now if you're a young Republican who hates taxes and supports the war in Iraq, you can't get away any longer with a ridiculous yellow ribbon on the back of your car. You're going to have to pay for the war, and you're going to have to fight in it. Who did you think was going to do that, if not you? Democrats?

precisely BECAUSE they can't look at themselves in the mirror without hurling. You think a little hypocrasy is going to bother them?

5. Simple enough to be understood

by the rethugs. And how can they argue with someone who offers to drive them, and agrees that they aren't "cowardly blowhards"? I think he's got 'em there. Of course they still won't do it, but how can they argue with him?
