I know I'd be a complete wuss about joining the service, which is why I have the opinion I do..
Not saying you have to share it
That still doesn't make them better "Americans".

Lee Greenwood...are you serious?InvincibleCakeEater wrote:That's why I'm going to leave it alone.

I guess I'm talking about those who put their lives on the line (and on hold) to go overseas to get shot at, and to shot at others. To me, that makes them better Americans than I am. Like my Great Grandpa in WW I, my Grandpa in WW II, my Dad in Vietnam, and my cousin in Iraq. Call me crazy I guess.

Re: Obama/Biden vs. McCain/Palin: The Thread
ghost, you're rich in objectivity. I like it.It's her first major speech. It's not at all uncommon to introduce family members, especially in the case of a newcomer. Obama brought his kids on stage.
I think she's doing just fine. More importantly, she's doing what I hoped she would do - introduce herself to America and set the tone for her role in the campaign. She's not the attack dog. She's the relater, the touchy-feely side of america. The girl-next-door who went into politics to help her family, her community, and reform corruption.
Sure, that's rhetoric, but it's going to sell, and it has legs.

Re: Obama/Biden vs. McCain/Palin: The Thread
After Michelle Obama made a substantive speech. By the way, she's not a potential first lady, she's the the VP candidate. I'm hearing clement's warning about the dumbing down of the Republican party. I would drink a beer with her, though.ghostrunner wrote:It's her first major speech. It's not at all uncommon to introduce family members, especially in the case of a newcomer.
