|Senators:
|
|Your vote against an amendment to the immigration Bill 1348…. to make
English America’s official language is astounding.|
|
|
|On D-Day, no less, when we honor those that sacrificed in order to secure the
bedrock, character and principles of America,|
|I can only surmise your vote reflects a loyalty to illegal aliens.
|
|
|
|I don’t much care where you come from. What your religion is. Whether you’re
black, white, or some other color…male or |
|female……Democrat, Republican or Independent……. But I do ca re when you
are a United States Senator representing |
|Citizens of America …and Vote against English as the official language of
the United States |
|
|
|Your vote reflects Betrayal. Political Surrender.. Violates Your Pledge of
Allegiance. Dishonors historical |
|principle. Rejects Patriotism. Borders on traitorous action and, in my
opinion, makes you unfit to serve as a United |
|States Senator…impeachment… Recall……..Or other appropriate action is
warranted, or worse. |
|
|
|
|
|Four of you voting against English as America’s Official Language are
Presidential Candidates: Senator Biden, Senator |
|Clinton, Senator Dodd and Senator Obama.
|
|
|
|Four Senators vying to lead America, but won’t, or don’t, have the courage to
cast a vote in favor of English as America’s|
|Official Language when 91% of American Citizens want English officially
designated as our language. |
|
|
|This is the second time in the last several months this list of Senators have
disgraced themselves as ‘political |
|Hacks’….. Unworthy as Senators and certainly unqualified to serve as
President of the United States . |
|
|
|If America is as angry as I am, you will realize a backlash so stunning it
will literally ‘rock you out of your |
|socks’……… And preferably totally out of the United States Senate.
|
|
|
|The entire immigration bill is a farce… Your action only confirms this
really isn’t about America… it is |
|about self-serving politics……despicable at best. It has been said: ‘Never
Argue with an Idiot….They’ll drag you down |
|to their level!’

|
|PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN SAID: ‘Congressmen who willfully take actions
during wartime that damages morale and |
|undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, quickly tried and
hanged!!!’ | |

POWs are morons and should have killed themselves when captured. No problem of USA. We will just given then coffins and proper burials. McCain being last in his class is also a moron.

But now, I am already free of this moronness and idiocy and “un-love” of my American soldiers whose business is to protect me.

1. Small soldiers matters.
2. Small soldiers are heroes.
3. Soldiers captured in battle indicates how lucky I am as an American; instead of them, I should have been in their position.
4. Soldiers are not pawns. They are my protectors.

Clark only indicated how abase and lowly he thinks of the small soldiers like McCain. He forgot that any other soldiers, my protectors, America will always honor McCain for his valor and courage and tenacity. These are 3 essential elements of President who served America as a soldier.

Good luck Mr. Clark. You don’t even deserve now to be called General. Because you humiliated your own service as a soldier.

Since Sen Obama has many fewer leadership roles on his resume, drawing attention to what Sen McCain does have seems like a loser.

But what do I know? I’m afraid that I’ll have to vote for McCain as the lesser of the two Democrats on this election.

The media which produces “he rides in a fighter plane” shows the mindset of todays journalism. That McCains experience was some isolated movie snippet and an aircraft commander is merely some actor going through his lines.
The military bearing , qualifications, and officer training that precludes and continues through a military career. The discipline necessary as well as the decision-making used throughout one of the most disciplined and structured organizations in the world, the United States military, are incomperable when dealing with friend and foe alike.

Herein lies the reason , above all, that McCain is indeed qualified to lead the country.

Add to that: Combat, the stress of combat tours, the battle and survival, then years of torture and capture: give a perspective to a presidential canditate that is unassailable.

Kennedy didn’t ” ride in a PT boat “. Eisenhower didnt ” ride in a jeep” Bush didn’t “ride in a torpedo bomber” ….the military is no “ride” ! what it does do is eminently qualify one to lead, organize, maintain balance through historical perspective and negotiate in the light of tested knowledge.

A man who knows the horrors of war first hand. A man who took what he learned in the field and became an effective senator, whether you agree with him or not.

Choosing Wesley Clark as a team member for Obama also speaks of character.

On the other hand, this Obama is really something. he first creates the atmosphere that he is going to be a victim of Republican dirty tricks so every subsequent attack on him, legitimate or not, becomes presto – dirty tricks! Then his military supporters attacks McCain’s services and he conveniently “disowns” their statements. This tells two things about Obama – Either he could not control his supporters or he let them do the real dirty work so he could look “above politics.”

Perhaps the best judgment of Barack Obama, and quite ironic given the bitter Democratic Primary, is that this so-called candidate of change is actually the Slick Willie of his generation
