And even if a Democrat is a combat veteran like Max Cleland or John Kerry, they will still be deemed suspect, "not you know, a real veteran. He still may not love America, but of course (he heh) reasonable people can disagree".

And if a Republican so much as served in the National Guard for two weeks never got his uniform dirty and never went on a mission, then we still must all hail him as a great War Hero.

That is how it works.

5. MSNBC talkers crucified Richard Blumenthal

who received 5 DEFERMENTS just like Romney. I hope to see the same talkers
take on romney.
Chris Matthews on the news that Richard Blumenthal was not truthful about his Vietnam service. Matthews says he'd have nothing to do with anyone who helps Blumenthal become a Senator.
Democrat Ed Schulz says he can't defend Richard Blumenthal in Connecticut.
Bill Press says: Blumenthal is dead in the water
Andrea Mitchell says that Connecticut Democrats are having second thoughts about Richard Blumenthal, and predicts that he will not be the Democratic nominee
Johnthan Capehart, Repeatedly saying or implying that you were in Vietnam when the record shows five deferments and Marine reserve duty that had you hunkered down on the East Coast is pretty low

And these "talkers" don't believe or care that they are depressing the base and voter turn-out. They all sound like republicans when it comes to bashing democrats. Just maybe one day since "Citizen United" Democrats will learn that, self-righteous, bashing other democrats, don't WIN elections. The only thing it does is keep you employed by your republican tv bosses.

Clock is ticking.............

8. Need More Good Reporters

The country needs more good reporters who call people like Mitt Romney out on stuff like this. Mitt Romney and other Republicans have made a number of statements that should be questioned. From student loan debt to female unemployment Romney and other Republicans have been able to say things without being forced to answer questions about the effect of their policies.
