The Yellowest Elephant


Rick Santorum:


And yet we have brave men and women who are willing to step forward because they know what's at stake. They're willing to sacrifice their lives for this great country. What I'm asking all of you tonight is not to put on a uniform. Put on a bumper sticker. Is it that much to ask? Is it that much to ask to step up and serve your country.


Just stunned. Video at the link.

1. As Bill Maher so eloquently put it ...

... if you support the troops, put a bumper-sticker on your car. It's the VERY LEAST you can do - LITERALLY!

2. Mmmmm, Ricky is going to piss off Rummy!

You know how thicked off the military got when Murtha said he wouldn't enlist today! I wonder what they're saying to Ricky?

4. nothing!

He will probably get a medal for saving lives.

:eyes:

(I wonder if he ever figured out how to make ice cubes?)

5. We always knew that repugs think supporting repugs only true service to US

Voting Republican, not military service, is patriotic. Why else would they hate Kerry and Murtha and Cleland? Why else would they waste our troops in a dumb war witout a strategy and without proper equipment?

All Santorum did was close the circle, by telling them the way to serve the US is not in the military but by voting for him.
