1. No, but I spend a lot of time w/war supporters trying to talk them into
enlisting. They want the war, they should fight the war.

Alas....Chickenhawks are "too busy" to think about what I find obvious....:(

2. Nice...
That is a great idea. I am sick of those loud mouths supporting the war from the safety of their homes. My favorite response is: "why aren't you in Iraq?"

3. from Hardball:
.......... Chris Galloway is president of the Young Democrats of America.


Jason Mattera is the spokesman for the Young America‘s Foundation, which is a conservative group.

(GOP'er)



Let me ask you about—both you gentlemen, but starting with you, Jason. What are you guys—what do people your age think about the war in Iraq right now, as it is going, as we‘re fighting this to try to get the Iraqis to take over the fighting? What‘s the view of your group?

MATTERA: I think my group is supporting President Bush on this matter. We‘re looking to defeat the terrorists.

MATTHEWS: Where? In Iraq.

MATTERA: In Iraq. Of course in Iraq.

And there—you won‘t see on college campuses, as you did in the 1960s, these rampant protests, these obstruction of classroom, these—the book burning, everything that went down. I think kids are more conservative today. And I think groups such as the Young America‘s Foundation help that—help mold that conservatism.

MATTHEWS: Would you like to enlist them? You‘re 21. You‘re eligible to serve. Would you like to serve in this war?

MATTERA: I‘m fighting the battle for ideas. I‘m fighting...

(CROSSTALK)

MATTHEWS: No, I‘m just asking a particular question. Would you like to enlist in this war?

MATTERA: No, because I‘m fighting a separate battle. I‘m fighting—we‘re fighting the culture war here, but I‘m also supporting the battle that‘s raging in Iraq.

MATTHEWS: Well, what kind of people should fight in this war, if not you?

MATTERA: Those who want to, those who want—who feel the desire, who have the passion to go over to Iraq. I have many friends who are in Iraq myself, people from my church, people who I graduated with.

MATTHEWS: Yes.

MATTERA: They went to go fight over there. I‘m here. I‘m fighting

the culture war right now. Both need to be fought and both need to be won

by conservatives.

MATTHEWS: Paul Hackett, a Democratic candidate for Congress who just lost that close election in Ohio, referred to the president as a chicken hawk, somebody who supports war, but doesn‘t fight it. What do you think of that phrase, chicken hawk?

MATTERA: I don‘t like the phrase chicken hawk.



Democratic speaker:Chris Galloway


MATTHEWS: You‘re laughing, Chris Galloway.

Let me ask you, Chris, do you—Democrats, by the way—what is the position of your crowd, your young crowd, Democrats, on this war in Iraq?

GALLOWAY: Well, we don‘t like the war.

MATTHEWS: Oh, you don‘t?

GALLOWAY: We think most Americans don‘t like the war.

MATTHEWS: You don‘t?

GALLOWAY: And we know that most young people don‘t support the war and don‘t like the war.

(CROSSTALK)

MATTHEWS: You know, I‘m waiting to hear your party speak clearly on this subject.

(CROSSTALK)

MATTHEWS: You mean, as a group, the Democratic young people of this country are against this war? I have yet to hear that said officially, sir.

GALLOWAY: Absolutely.

The Young Democrats of America are not supportive of this war. The young people that I talk to are not supportive of this war. The young people I talk to are scared to death that they‘re going to be sent to fight in this war.

note: as you see the young publicans are opting out of the war in Iraq to fight the "culture war" here in the US........lol..thats the lamest of lame.

Our Democratic speaker.just came right out and said we don't approve of this war.

Big difference in this 2 young mens stand!

5. Too bad the YRF dont' even posses the courage of their convictions
to strap on a gun and go fight. They are cowards and would be the first to cry, whine and try to get out of serving if drafted.

Rich and soft around the middle is what they are.

4. And I'm fighting the war on poverty
And don't forget the war on drugs. Yup, I'm fighting that, too. Can't you see how busy I am?

6. "Young America's Foundation," aka Young College Republican's
Young College Republican's had to do a little name changing due to some bad press on thier CONing the elderly for money during the last election, their big soiree in Las Vegas came up $25,000 short to pay the bills and they were reported pissed off because the Republican Party officicals wouldn't bail them out (just like a bunch of rich spoiled brats) and their recent keg party in DC showing pics of fat gutted Young Republicans swilling hooch from a trophy cup to celebrate their changing of the guard.

While the troops are off fighting and dying for these punks the re-named Young America's Foundation (like name America's gives them respectability???) claims they are "fighting the cultural war at home." Lifting that trophy cup of booze is the hardest work these young men and women will ever do in their life.
