"Support Our President, Support Our Troops"

[Sparkly]

Oh, how they LOVE to conflate those two!! (How on earth is supporting this Chimperor supporting the troops?!?)



Jorgi Sanders, left, argues with Luke Lundemo, both of Jackson, Miss., prior to the start of a silent 'vigil for Cindy Sheehan,' at the War Memorial in Jackson, Wednesday evening, Aug. 17, 2005. Sanders proclaimed her unqualified support for President Bush and his military actions overseas as well as her support for the military overseas. Sanders claimed she had a son serving in the military, but refused to identify him. Lundemo was one of 50 people who gathered in support of Sheehan. (AP Photo/Rogelio Solis)


By the way, the Yahoo slideshow on this page is phenomenal:

1. I bet she does, what a liar

She is one of the last remaining bush-bots. They will fall off soon.

[renaissanceguy]

34. Sorry woman in picture,

a stupid placard and a magnet ribbon does nothing to support the troops. Go shove your head up your ass and inhale deeply.

[bluestateguy]

2. OK, but I want to know how we get this woman voting Democratic

The DLC says we need to "connect" with these people, so let's figure out how to do it.

The floor is open people.

[FrenchieCat]

4. Shake her hard with both hands on her shoulder.....

and show her this....

[Sparkly]

6. Some are too far gone.

I suspect this is one of them.

[Imagevision]

35. Bush/Rummy still haven't made good on requested ARMOR!!!

This is the way Bush supports our troops, the god damn liar!!

[mondo joe]

10. We don't need to connect with the FAR right. We need the middle.

And she's not it.

Take a lesson from Karl Rove: you don't need every voter, you just need enough.

[HughBeaumont]

20. Another lesson from Rove: "And after that . . . Diebold helps a little."

[mondo joe]

23. Even if there was electoral fraud, that it was as close as it was

considering the opposition, the results of the last 2 elections was humiliating.

But no one needs to get - or is going to get - 75% of the vote or more.

Instead of worrying about the FAR right we should remain focused on the middle ground.

[HughBeaumont]

37. And from the polls lately . . .

That doesn't seem too insurmountable a task. LOTS of buyer's regret out there.

[bluestateguy]

42. NO. I want that vote!

I want to know WHAT needs to be done to get these white fundamentalist Christians in Mississippi voting Democratic.

They voted Democratic 50 years ago.

[lumberjack_jeff]

38. I don't agree. We can't reach them...

... we must marginalize them.

My biggest frustration with people generally, and we Democrats specifically, is inability to learn from experience. Republicans have eaten our lunch in the last several elections not by winning hearts and minds to their ways of thinking, but scaring people away from us by marginalizing our ways of thinking.

Define and marginalize the enemy. The freeper who drove over the crosses is an excellent example. We should identify him as the poster child of the new Republican party.

Talking about the issues is fine, but the primary issue is them.

Politics punishes the timid.

[MrBenchley]

3. That would be the pResident who sent them out without armor

and other necessities, and who can't tell us why they're there...

Look at the veins stand out on her neck! Good thing she isn't part of the hate-filled, irrational left or anything (snicker)...

[Child_Of_Isis]

12. That's how you can spot 'em.

The hatred oozes from them. I prefer not to connect with toxic people.

[MrBenchley]

26. She reminds me of the woman in Fahrenheit 9/11

who jeers at the grieving mother whose son was killd...

[jackster]

31. I was thinking more like...

I don't know

CRUELLA DEVILLE!!!!

SHE'S THE SPITTIN' IMAGE OF HER!

[Snotcicles]

15. Support our President Support our Troops another trickle down theory

Good Sign material.

[MrBenchley]

25. Bush Lied...People Died....

Think this "lady" was running around screaming "Support our President" at right wingers lying about Bill Clinton?

Me neither.

[Snotcicles]

27. Another Fox News slobber mom n/t

[Avalux]

5. Boggles the mind, doesn't it?

Their inability to separate the two and understand we can support the troops and not the rat turd is bizarre.

[hfojvt]

21. Funny they had no problem separating the two

when Clinton was President.

[Avalux]

22. That was different!

Clinton was immoral!!!! :sarcasm:

[The_Casual_Observer]

7. 9/11- Saddam , they have a lot of practice.

[mondo joe]

8. How about SUPPORT THE TROOPS SUPPORT THE TRUTH

The President is an office, not a person.

[Snotcicles]

9. The fear and anger on her face goes all the way to the bone. n/t

[Solly Mack]

11. Oh, fuck their president

[beyurslf]

13. How mean and angry she looks! And how peaceful he appears....

[Terran]

18. Thinking the same thing...

You really can judge a book by its cover, quite often. She looks like she has a lot of hate and fear and guilt in her heart.

[Skidmore]

14. Wasn't it Trent Lott who once said that you can support the

troops without supporting the president? Seemed to work for them then.

[TexomaDem]

30. here are some quotes that will make you go...

:grr: :grr: :grr:


"Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is." -- Governor George W. Bush (R-TX)

"You can support the troops but not the president." -- Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)

"Well, I just think it's a bad idea. What's going to happen is they're going to be over there for 10, 15, maybe 20 years." -- Joe Scarborough (R-FL)

"Explain to the mothers and fathers of American servicemen that may come home in body bags why their son or daughter have to give up their life?" -- Sean Hannity, Fox News, 4/6/99

" President . . . is once again releasing American military might on a foreign country with an ill-defined objective and no exit strategy. He has yet to tell the Congress how much this operation will cost. And he has not informed our nation's armed forces about how long they will be away from home." -- Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA)

"I had doubts about the bombing campaign from the beginning . . I didn't think we had done enough in the diplomatic area." -- Senator Trent Lott (R-MS)

"I cannot support a failed foreign policy. History teaches us that it is often easier to make war than peace. This administration is just learning that lesson right now. The President began this mission with very vague objectives and lots of unanswered questions. A month later, these questions are still unanswered. There are no clarified rules of engagement. There is no timetable. There is no legitimate definition of victory. There is no contingency plan for mission creep. There is no clear funding program. There is no agenda to bolster our over-extended military. There is no explanation defining what vital national interests are at stake. There was no strategic plan for war when the President started this thing, and there still is no plan today" -- Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)




:grr:

[sakabatou]

39. Holy shit... so much hypocrisy....

:puke:

[Sparkly]

40. Here's one more from Chimpy.

"I'm going to be judicious as to how to use the military. It needs to be in our vital interest, the mission needs to be clear, and the extra (exit) strategy obvious." (from one of the 2000 debates: http://www.debates.org/pages/trans2000b.html)

[Lex]

16. Fanatical support of the Dear Leader, be he right or wrong . . .

sounds quite the OPPPOSITE of what America is all about.

[WI_DEM]

17. There side always looks so angry and irrational while our side looks calm

because we know we are on the side of right.

[Crankie Avalon]

19. At this point, those two things are mutually exclusive...

...you can do one or the other, but not both.

Of those two things, I choose to support the troops.

Incidentally, the caption says 50 people showed up to support the troops and Cindy Sheehan, yet the photo concentrates on the one loon who is there to support Bush. 50 to 1, and the 1 gets all the attention.

[johnnie]

24. I love the look on Luke's face..lol

He looks so interested.
As for Ms Sanders, a quick check of her on the net reveals that she does have a son. Actually she has 2 sons (twins) and as of March 2003 neither were serving in any military. I wonder if she is just fibbing to make herself seem important? Not that a repuke would do anything like that. :eyes:
Oh, and the little search I did also shows that she is extremely devout to her Lord and saviour...imagine that.

[Snotcicles]

36. Funny how the more devout you are, the quicker you are to lie.n/t

[Arianrhod]

28. Jorgi, you ignorant slut. :) n/t

[HughBeaumont]

29. WHY THE PRESIDENT FIRST, ASSHOLE???

Especially if what you claim is true, you have a son in the military? You think that cockknocker you elected deserves support over men and women put in harms way for two years now over a LIE?

Is Lancelot Shithead spraying the remains of his fellow soldiers off of sidewalks and tanks?

Is Lancelot Shithead being exposed to hostile fire almost every day?

Is Lancelot Shithead avoiding rock attacks, insurgents and roadside bombs?

Is Lancelot Shithead part of a single unit that lost 20 of it's own men in a period of 50 hours?

Is Lancelot Shithead going to live with horrid memories of death, butchered kids and wholesale ruin?

pResident Link deserves, along with his entire PNACabal, to be thrown in a cell and starved. Chicken-war-hawks deserve no support.

[nadinbrzezinski]

32. Aren't they amazing?

You can see the anger in her face, while the arguee is all calm and collected

[Sparkly]

33. Would it be bad to post this...

http://www.bellegladehighschool.com/BGHS_Profiles.htm

And to mention the last name Crews, and to point out that neither son is mentioned as being in the military?

Mods, please delete if this info goes too far. :hi:

Edit: Not sayin' it's proof neither's in the military, contrary to her claim; just sayin'.
