7. WELL ITS OBVIOUS THE WEALTHY AREAS OF OHIO

don't give a rats ass about those soldiers!! by their vote for more of the same from the rethugs!!

i really think the only way to wake the wealthy who won't put "their " kids in harms way is a draft...

i see it with my wealthy friends in fla and nj..they don't give a crap how many are dying daily..but mention their kids going to fight..well those are fighting words!!
i had a aquaintence the other day laugh when i said her kid could get drafted..she said..my kid fight??..ohhh no he would be incapable of fighting...i asked why.. she said he wouldn't know how to take the garbage out..( they have maids) ..or make his bed..let alone pull a trigger!
so i said ..well if you support bushes policies why don't you feel it nessesary to send your kid to fight for those policies..she said..quote.."only the dumb and poor send their kids to this war"!!

i felt vietnam de ja vue all over again...i told her to go to hell!! and walked away!
