Send Kids of War Supporters
The Democrats in Congress should try to get an amendment placed in this Republican bill that is attempting to say U.S. troops should stay in Iraq. The amendment should say that anyone who votes for the U.S. troops to stay in Iraq has to have their kid sent to Iraq. Lets see how many of these Republicans will want to keep troops in Iraq if they have to send their kids there. I know the Republicans have the votes to vote down the amendment, but Democrats should bring up the amendment just so the Republicans have to vote it down. That would show just how much the Republicans do not support this war. If they support the war so much and believe the U.S. should stay in Iraq then why can they not send their kids. It seems to me that if they really supported the war they would be willing to send their kids to Iraq.

1. And/or themselves.
They tell us to support.

Support is more than buying a stinkin' magnetic ribbon made in some country that probably doesn't like the war in the first place.

3. It's a republican bill. They push something like this, they
should send their kids. But by the same token, Hillary should be suiting up Chelsea. I mean, Chelsea may not support the war, and that's too bad. But Mamma thinks we should stay, and therefore somebody's kids got to go do the deed. It would only be fair if Mamma Hillary had the same risk and everyone else. Then maybe she'd feel differently. Talk is cheap if you don't have much to lose.

5. Republican Bill
I only talked about the Republicans in that they were the ones pushing this bill. In addition, I do believe there are more Republicans in Congress claiming to support this war than Democrats. However, I am definitely for sending the children of the Democrats who sign on to support this bill. They all should be faced with sending their children to this war.
