Ready for the Big Tear Jerker Tomorrow?
When Gibson trails along behind Caribou Barbie sending her son off to Iraq? She's going to show how a "real" American Patriotic Family Values driven family sends their beloved son off to fight for his Country and keep us safe.

I want to throw up and hit somebody right now! The coverage of this circus is really starting to get to me.

1. On this day, of all days,
these Republican whores will lay any way the customer wants them to lay. Using her own son to get traction - that's about as bad as could be. At least LBJ's son-in-law was already a Marine officer when he proposed to Lynda Byrd and got sent to Vietnam after the wedding.

It's nauseating, that's for sure.

3. As long as they do the same for Joe Biden
Isn't he also saying goodbye to a son?

I wish Beau good luck...I'm glad he is in the Jag Corps and not the actual combat troops. Track failed to get into college on a hockey scholarship so he joined the army on 9/11...betcha it was on Momma's request. Beau joined the national guard and is already a lawyer and he was needed to help some solders with some legal paperwork.

12. Nor will I.
I'm sure she's just beaming with pride that her son was forced to choose between joining the military or going to jail.

10. She was as far away from NY as possible on 9-11...

That doesn't stop her from using her son to capitalize on it though. She's a seriously sick woman!

14. When my son went to Iraq
I went see him off, the second time I saw him off too. And the third time when he went to Afghanistan I saw him off too. There were no news people just families with worried looks on their faces, trying to be strong for their soldiers. Being a viet nam vet it was very hard for me each time I waited till he left before I cried.

You know what folks we really have to take the fight to them. When these people mention Mccain, I say Oh did you know he was a POW. The same same thing they did to John Kerry. We have to hit them on this.

Remember what they said about Kerry, He only marries Rich women!

He went to Nam to pad his resume!

He shot himself to get a Purple Heart!
They made him out to be the worst veteran. We can't let them forget That Mcbush Voted against the vets every time.In 2004 I swore I would not them forget!

Remember, remember, the Fourth of November!!!!!
