Veterans must find new place to live

2. With "support" like this, who needs foreign enemies.

RIGHTWING; the right wing of the House of Parliament. Ie the HOUSE OF LORDS.

Why anyone other than multi-millionaires would ever vote republican is way beyond my ken.

4. This kind of thing is what worries me....

about the terribly wounded vets from this clusterfuck of a war.

As long as they're young and the war is fresh in the minds of the Murikans (a very short time, actually), vets are actually honored for their service. By the time they are 50, those vets will just be seen as brain-damaged old amputees that are a drain on our resources.

Since this country obviously has no soul, those old veterans will just get pushed out of the system like the vets in Georgia.

7. Of course they are -- they have to carry the weight of the

"less government" for more money Republicans.

I feel so horribly for these vets. I've copied this article and sent it to my local paper. The community organizers that Palin mocked will be the only hope these guys have now that the guy who STOLE the office in Georgia via the vote switching device Spoonamore found is kicking them out of their homes.

Way to go, repugs.
