Mexmissages and such.
When Bush supporters say the "What kind of message does this send to our troops?" or the "mexmissages" question why don't you bring this up?

President (then-candidate) George W. Bush
Bush, in Austin, criticized President Clinton's administration for not doing enough to enunciate a goal for the Kosovo military action and indicated the bombing campaign might not be a tough enough response. 'Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for the president to explain to us what the exit strategy is,' Bush said.


My response is:
Silencing the truth does not raise morale -- The president says speaking the truth is harmful. Are people that stupid to believe this sound bite? And when he twists the words of Mr. Kerry saying we need to pass a certain test so everyone understands why we did what we did doesn't mean we let others decide for us. It means we make the right decision. HELLO, WE ARE THE GOOD GUYS! I think some Bush supporters have thrown that concept out the window.

Those who disagree with the president when he is wrong help the country. This crazy thinking that you are un-American if you speak the truth is insane. We are not UN-ourselves. And it doesn't undermine our troops when you address problems that will help them.


May this find everyone happy and well,
Vinnie

1. Another option: "The troops KNOW it's a mess. They're the ones...
... getting shot at 24 hours a day, with no exit in sight."

Let these nitwits know they're insulting the intelligence of our troops. :grr:
