(19,186 posts)Those are the three words republicans are going to have to come to grips with before deciding which candidate they're going to choose.
COUNTRY or party. The choice is abundantly clear to me.

(25,816 posts)who were lifelong Republicans? Clearly they have not been paying attention at least since 1980.

(6,699 posts)Mixed feelings when I see or hear about GOPers who see this draft dodging coward con artist as "a bridge too far". Guess I should be happy...but your point is my reaction exactly.

The same thing can be true of religion. We may reject the religious traditions we were raised with, but going to church with family or friends can bring back as many good memories as bad.

(4,459 posts)... has always leaned republican because of a perception that the military gets more money from republican administrations, and democrats want to take money away for social programs, health care, education, feeding people - you know, useless stuff that doesnt blow anything up. Of course, its not that simple, because really republicans favor government contracts with the military, not the actual military. But thats nuance, and republicans are good for soldiers has been the spin for 50 years.
So if the pentagon leans republican, and youre a soldier, you lean republican. At least until you leave and become a vet, and realize it was a sham.
I think its a significant sign that veterans are doing commercials for Biden. Itll have an impact.

(2,458 posts)In my opinion, this looks like the face of someone deeply disturbed. To sum up this ad, our illegitimate W.H. squatter is a military coward! He's a draft dodger with 5 deferments. He also is a do nothing fake pres., especially when it comes to our soldiers with Russian bounties! What about Americans? Do we have bounties too? Is that why there's so many unnecessary C-19 deaths & HE DOESN'T CARE? He has the AUDACITY to berate those who serve our country & rewards those who don't! He's pardoned criminals that SHOULD NOT be pardoned! It seems he lies every damned day to the American people & the world! He thinks C-19 will disappear. Why doesn't he just do us a favor & disappear back down into the bowels of HELL where he came from?!!!
