What do you see in him victoratgaimproper? His voice is extremely insincere and if he had a chance or was even a legitimate democratic candidate, that ad would be on tv (paid media) rather than youtube (free "media"). He is such a sorry excuse of a candidate and thank hamilton the people that help get candidates elected can see that. Hence his inability to raise enough money to advertise. He has been at it for almost 4 months and still has less than $100K raised. For those that do not know how pathetic this is, most college students, with professional help, can raise $100k in 2 months or less. Just like Ray Mckinney, Dale cardwell is having a mid life crisis that he needs other people to finance. I just watched that cardwell ad…what a loser! What do you see in him victoratgaimproper?

Do they become angels incapable of misrepresenting the truth when they're on duty? If so, do they lose angelhood status when they leave duty? Sorry guys, the Freedom I believe in isn't one in which we're not free to question policy. "with us or against us" doesn't leave room for debate about how to fight the fight, so of course that's what Republicans prefer. But It's NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

His first combat experience was as a General, just like Dumbya's was as Chickenhawk-in-Chief. He did get shot by one of his own troops in Kentucky, however. Do you get a Purple Heart when you're shot in peacetime? Max Cleland has a Purple Heart due to the loss of three limbs in a grenade explosion. Four days prior to this loss, Captain Cleland earned a Silver Star in action around Khe Sanh. The citation reads, in part...

My contention is that ludicrous speech is ludicrous speech, and the attack on Gen. Petreaus crossed the line, and the ad against Cleland did as well. A logical criticism of Cleland's policies and positions would have been entirely appropriate, but the ad sought to blur the lines and left the voters with the impression that he was cowardly, weak and disloyal. But again, a criticism of the actual issues would have tossed aside quick sound bites and images of Osama bin Laden. It also would have delved more into the specific reasons why Cleland voted the way he did ... and not suggested that he was against protecting the homeland. Regarding the issue of unions, to this day I still don't know why some folks hold so much venom against the ability of workers to collectively bargain for fair wages and safe working conditions, but no matter.
