* offers to take a wounded soldier running..

A young soldier who lost a leg, part of the calf muscle on the leg he kept, and lost two fingers on his right hand, was visited by *..

Ole photo-op offered to take him running :puke:


It amazes me how callous this group is.. Every soldier who had been wounded, needs toreceive a paper that is signed by the president that GUARANTEES them FREE medical care for the rest of their lives..At the closest facility to them..not just some VA clinic that is 4 hours away.. No questions asked.. no paperwork...no lawyers...no appeals..

If you leave part of your body in a foreign countyry at the order of the president, you DESERVE no less..

The military should be ready to fully rehab and guarantee a job or assistance for these young guys too.. It's one thing to yell bravo to a young amputeee for being so resilient, but someday that guy will have a family and he will be 40 something, and may not be able to work..

But then terrorist causes terror.My mind is also going, but I swear I heard Bush say this.

week, Dick Durbin ranted about an amendment that passed the Senate 96-3. The amendment granted about 23,000 soldiers (I think National Guard) that worked for the Federal Government and were presently in Iraq extra pay equal to the salaries they were making in the Government to help support their families. Behind closed doors, when the House and Senate were doing the Conference Report, the Republicans ripped out that amendment. No extra money for them.

So they make nice to the soldiers when they are on the Floor before the cameras, and they undo it behind closed doors.

No GOP was going to give a sailor one GD thing and we all knew it.

people associate the GOP with the klan, and make sure that everyone in the gop is a closet member?

?

Bush was shaking his hand and then he offered to take him running with him.. The guy was in rehab with his artificial leg:(
