25. Democrats are soft on defense
Thu Nov 1, 2012, 05:13 PM
Nov 2012

and they've demonstrated over and over it's about their hawkish ideology, not whether candidates have served in the military. Witness W and Cheney, and now Romney and their respective cowardice, yet nothing but "USA USA" chants result from their breathren. Hell, Cheney dodged Vietman five times and gets a hero's welcome in front of military crowds. Kerry, who DID serve in Vietnam, got mocking Purple Heart bandaids at the RNC convention.

Now they want to define Obama not be tracking down and killing the world's most wanted terrorist in a gutty make or break ambush, but by Benghazi. Had a conservative president got bin laden, they would have already carved their likeness on Mt Rushmore.

Their hyprocisy is staggering...
