Republicans are the lowest slime in the Universe.

[rhett o rick]

This morning I found something on my chest and got to get it off.

This isn’t a revelation to anyone here but I still have to rant.

The living conditions at Ft. Bragg are deplorable as were the conditions at Walter Reed Hospital. And I am guessing at many, many more of the veterans facilities. It took a father’s video tape and placement on Youtube (not the so called liberal media) to break the story. Apparently Army inspector and so-called journalist aren't even looking.

After Walter Reed the Army should have inspected all other vets facilities for living conditions. Failure to do that should result in at least a General getting fired.

Republicans will tell you they’re patriot because they wear lapel pins and have magnets on their cars. But they consistently vote down every bill aimed at helping our vets. The vets who are risking and giving their lives and limbs to support the republican war agenda are snubbed by those very same republicans. How low can you get? They are more concerned that Exxon make half a trillion dollars a year than to treat our vets decently. Republicans are the lowest slime in the Universe.

1. rant on - repubs are vile*

vile vile vile people

* see Gov Siegleman for even more proof

[SammyWinstonJack]

2. Yes, they are.

[commander bunnypants]

4. I agree

and with Rush Limpballs constantly saying I am unpatriotic. Sorry at least I had the balls to join for my four years.

3. On behalf of the lowest slime in the Universe

May we say that we are offended to be compared to Republicans.

[rhett o rick]

8. My greatest apologies to the lowest slime, and I realize it is a matter of pride

for the lowest slime to be such, but I must at least say that republicans (small r) are challenging you for your title.

5. Ft Bragg barracks

Are not for the vets. It is for current soilders.

[rhett o rick]

9. You are right and I stand corrected. I incorrectly, tend to group vets and

current soldiers in one group. Thanks for pointing that out.

[orangerevolution]

13. Also, new barracks being built

right next door. So, something is being done for long term, the short term is an immediate problem. This video has done well to get this corrected.

[raccoon]

6. They "talk the talk" but sure don't "walk the walk."

They are so disgusting.

:puke:

[orangerevolution]

11. If you see at the end of the video

there is a reporter pointing out new, but yet to be occupied, barracks that will replace those in deplorable conditions.

[rhett o rick]

15. They have had years and an unlimited budget, there is not excuse. Slime. nm

[Richard Steele]

18. Because building new ones puts more $$$ in some Repub's pocket than routine maintenence would. nm

[orangerevolution]

21. Did you stop and think that bulding new

is in response to troop request? Keeping the old is not always the cost efficent way.

[Richard Steele]

23. I've stopped and thought that you spend a lot of time on this board defending the RW crap .

And I think that most DUers who took a minute to search your
posts would think the same thing.

That's what I think.

[rhett o rick]

29. Sorry, I don't at all understand your point. Hundreds of billions of dollars have

been given to the military. There is absolutely no excuse for this. This barracks should have been destroyed 30 years ago. Republicans are slime.

[rhett o rick]

22. Also, when the republicans give no bid contracts to their cronies, they are too inept or greedy to

actually complete the order.

[Richard Steele]

26. Yup. What do you want to bet that...

...building maintenance on those rotting barracks was outsourced
to some Repub-crony-owned private firm a while back?

That's not even a "bet" these days; it's just standard procedure.

[OHdem10]

7. The problem is--Which Democrat(s) are willing to go into their

districts and firmly point this out???

Which Media Organization(s) are willing not only to report this
situation but firmly lay it in the Republican's Lap??

The GOP have always been able to slide bexause Democrats
do not believe in fighting???

The Democrats live in the DC bubble and never seem to pick
up on issues and use them to their advantage.

Good post and I understand how you feel.

[rhett o rick]

10. Thank you and for what it is worth, I sent copies of the op to my congress-

critters and the local media (which is pro republican).

[electropop]

12. Republicans are cannibals.

They are running up a debt that will take food from the mouths of our children.
They are poisoning the water our children will drink.
They are poisoning the air our children will breathe.
They are plotting to roast our children alive under a fossil-fuel CO2 blanket.

Republicans are cannibals.

[ogsbee]

14. Treasonous slime

Republicans = exposing own troops to depleted uranium munitions (not to mention millions of Iraqi citizens), shocking conditions in VA hospitals, ignoring PTSD, charging disabled soldiers that percentage of their hiring bonus represented by the time the soldier failed to serve (due to his disabling injury), charging them for everything from haircuts to travel home after duty period, on and on. The phrase "Support the troops" is simply part of the Republican liars' culture. Fighting men and women are simply "dumb stupid cattle" to them (Kissinger quoted by Woodward). Un-American, anti-patriotic slime.

[defendandprotect]

16. They been brutalizing our military for their war of aggression...they don't care at all--!!!

Soldiers are just part of the PNAC program and a way to load their pockets with blood money!!

[defendandprotect]

17. I noticed the article but never saw the video....Where's the LINK . . . ????

[rhett o rick]

19. sorry I should have included it. See below

[defendandprotect]

32. Thank you -- it doesn' seem to be working right now-maybe just me...I'll try later.

[rhett o rick]

35. You can also go to youtube.com and search for "Fort Bragg". nm

[rhett o rick]

20. Is there a republican out there that has seen this video that is outraged at what's been done

with the hundreds of billions of dollars that we have provided the military? The answer is no. republicans only care about making sure Halliburton gets their cut. Here is a link i should have included in the original op.

[slackmaster]

25. There are plenty of Repubs out there who are outraged by the war and everything

Go to a VFW hall and have a drink with some real vets some time. I guarantee you will meet some thoughtful, well-informed GOPers among them.

Or look up a group like Republicans For Choice. Or Log Cabin Republicans.

They're not all wackadoodles like their leaders.

[rhett o rick]

28. So do they vote republican? Do they enable this administration to continue the destruction

of our country? Since no republican Congress person has openly spoken out against the administration's assault on our Constitution and country I must assume they all condone the behavior. Does the term lock-step mean anything? How many of these people in 2004 voted for Bush? They may bitch now but will they vote for a Democrat? Probably not.

[slackmaster]

39. A lot of veterans did not vote for GWB in 2004

Now, they may well vote for McCain because he is one of theirs. That is unfortunate but not much we can do about it at this point. We blew our chance on that one.

[rhett o rick]

40. There are a lot of good republicans out there that don't like the war nor the economy, etc

but they keep voting for republicans. Therefore they are enabling the tyranny and are as guilty as the administration.

[slackmaster]

24. I have rediscovered recently that there are still some decent Republicans out there

The problem is, they aren't the ones in charge at the moment.

[rhett o rick]

27. I come from a long line of republicans and I was one until Nixon.

But today, with all the horrendous things the republican administration and republican members in Congress have done, I do not believe there is a decent republican out there. If they vote for any and let me emphasize ANY republican they are enabling this RAPE of our country. I also know some republicans that are decent people, but they live in lala land and vote for the criminals. They have no excuse. Damn them.

[slackmaster]

41. My mom was the last in a long line of Republicans

She quit about 10 years ago when the fundamentalist wackadoodles finished their takeover of the GOP.

I remember very clearly her saying, in 1974 the day Nixon resigned, that we wouldn't see another Republican President for a whole generation.

1974...

[malaise]

30. They forgot everyone has a camera these days

Rethug talk is always cheap but cell phones with cameras are cheaper.
Truth will out!!!!

It's all good. I hope the Dems are using those photos for ads.

A rout is coming this November.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

31. The living conditions at Ft. Bragg and Walter Reed,

looked very similar to the conditions of a lot of the barracks I lived in and most of that was under Bill Clinton. I think people are just more willing to complain now and it's easier to do in the internet age. Having said that these problems should be fixed no matter what administration is in power. I always tried to take care of troops under my command and always spoke out when living conditions were less than acceptable. Sometimes things got fixed and sometimes I got told to shut up. I stayed with my guys anyway so at least they had company.

[rhett o rick]

33. I am trying to point out the hypocrisy of republicans. To them patriotism is wearing a lapel pin and

not passing increases in funding for vets. Also, they are the ones that want our soldiers to go in harms way but not willing to go the extra step to give them decent equipment or living conditions.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

34. I appreciate that.

I'm just trying to put it in perspective from my personal experience. I'm sorry if that doesn't help you make your point.

David

[rhett o rick]

36. And I do appreciate that. nm

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

37. No worries, our troops and vets deserve the best.

I appreciate you trying to further that goal.

David

[Laverdadtelibrara]

38. Look..............

the only reason the repugnicans are doing what they're doing is because they think they can get away with it. Because we let them walk the halls of power with impugnity. This is partly our fault.

[JCMach1]

42. you forgot the slime that is Holy Joe Lieberman

[rhett o rick]

43. You mean that slime that has at least a 50-50 chance of being our next vice president? nm
