It's the media's fault
and not the fact no republican has signed up there son or daughter to go fight. Oh let's not even ask these people to pay just a little more money to pay for their war. Heaven forbid they DO anything for this war THEY wanted.


Several Senate Republicans denounced other lawmakers and
the news media on Thursday for unfavorable depictions of the Iraq war and the Pentagon urged members of Congress to talk up military service to help ease a recruiting shortfall.
Families are discouraging young men and women from enlisting "because of all the negative media that's out there," Sen. James Inhofe, an Oklahoma Republican, said at a U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee hearing. Inhofe also said that other senators' criticism of the war contributed to the propaganda of U.S. enemies.

2. They're flinging the same
shit against the wall as they did in the 70's to see if maybe this time some of it will stick. It won't. Hint: It's the body bags stupid!

3. Whats the Republican message?
If I don't lie to you here you can't die for me there?

Do as I say not as I do?

Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for me.

Listen to my propaganda not the enemies.
