Isn't every soldier's family/friends gonna vote blue just to get them home

safely and quickly? I'd hate to be outwardly brimming with confidence but I smell a massive blue midterm wave. If not, I will blame diebold.

1. I wouldn't be so sure of that

Just read this recent post. This friend of a member of the DU doesn't sound like she will be voting blue.

4. See your point but then again, that lady's brother is in the Air Force.

He is not on the ground subject to IEDs and snipers. I jus can't see loved ones of grunts and national guardsmen (and women) voting red. I have been wrong before though.

2. John Sweeney has a mother of a dead soldier , promoting the same

people that sent her son off unprepared , unequipped .Where does Kkkarl find these people? In an ad For Sweeney ,her Mantra is the same old " I don't believe in the war ,but I believe in our soldiers".

3. Too many are swelled with the pride

of serving their country in the war against terra, they will self delude to avoid the obvious complacency in the death of so many including their own.

And diebold's upcoming treason is a given.

5. We have to get Majority in November....!

...Not only will redeployment begin but IMPEACHMENT proceedings will be executed.

6. My Republican parents were all for the Vietnam war up to the bitter end

Even though I would have been drafted if the draft hadn't ended in 1973. They would have been proud (actually damn proud) to have had a son (me) die like a dog face down in some rice paddy on the other side of the world for nothing.

And that was after over 50,000 American soldiers had already been killed there.

Nixon was their hero and to this day they think he got a bad deal. So I am not so sure about your theory.

7. I'm sure some will, but some will feel it's their duty to support Bush

I've seen that attitude firsthand from relatives of husbands and sons in Iraq.
