Christian Science Monitor (2-22-06):
"They call themselves the Band of Brothers, about 50 men - and a few women - all Democrats, all opposed to the Bush administration's handling of Iraq, and all military veterans.
One more thing: They're all running for Congress this year.
Not since 1946 have so many vets from one party come together in a political campaign, they claim. Their wildest dream is to give the Democratic Party the extra edge it needs - by boosting its weak image on defense and patriotism - to end Republican control of the House."
Many of these have lost limbs and are physically scarred for life after going to war for their country. So, seriously, why are they running as Dems? And, no, most weren't Dems to start with. They are even recruited a Republican.
