Local Veteran and Military Leaders Call for Kimball to Apologize

GOP Chairman used death of servicemembers as political fodder in Hillsborough County

In video that surfaced yesterday, Republican Party Chairman Jack Kimball reduced the sacrifice of thousands of men and women in uniform to a political punch line when he declared about America’s servicemembers, “In my view, if we reelect this man , all that all of the people fought and died for is completely in vain.”


Yes - NH has indeed tipped over the edge

2. Long way from the days when you didn't dare criticize the President during a war
Wasn't that just one administration back?

If the GOPers want to pay for permanent wars, I say levy a 20% income tax against anyone who votes Republican. If that doesn't pay the bills then we'll have to cut most of the 800+ bases that we have overseas so that we can focus on a war without end or any meaningful goal towards resolution.
