This proud Republican stated he supports the war in Iraq as long as his children do not have to fight. His words flowed out of his mouth like this " If my kid had to go in I would be against the war "BUT" as long as other people are losing their kids then I'm all for the war". That....is a true republican!!

Erudite, I always admire your courage and stamina, but don't stereotype all Republicans.
Many encourage their children to go to the various armed forces, at least, from what I have seen among individuals.
I would hate for my own people to be stereotyped this way (as we often are).
I think the real issue is POLITICIANS. I don't see many of their children serving from any political party.
Let's be real here...most people protect their own. It is a sad fact. People would ask other people or other people's children to do what they would not. And it is everyone..I can give an example from any political party or group of people.
If you feel this strongly, write this person and tell him that he should be willing to allow his children to fight too.

Is it a real Republican? Judging from the help that I observed for Ron Paul's concepts to charm to lower back troops international huge final evening on the best Fox information chat in the process the Republican debate, you may in basic terms be incorrect approximately that. it is an previous dinosaur breed of Republican it is loss of life out and is without delay being replaced by using a sparkling theory.

Are you kidding? Tell me what Democrat said " I only represent people who are white and could care less about anyone else". I'll give you a clue, it was the brother of the man who you quoted. Their names are No One and Nobody. When will the ignorant stop making up "facts" to support their arguments. There is plenty of ammunition out there for both sides to make their arguments. It takes a truly lazy or ignorant person to not see and take advantage of the information out there to make their points. Your post is just more Republican bashing with out any substantiation. Truly pathetic. Try listing names and documentation so we all can see that you truly have no clue.

Why do you assume the individual was a Republican?
How many Democrats, who supported the war at the beginning, have sent their children?
How many Democrats have, in typical fashion, changed their spots to meet the prevailing winds of public opinion?
Why do you insist on wasting our time with your incessant trolls? Why are you such a complete jerk?

This raises a good point: one of the reasons the war isn't even less popular is that the military is all volunteer; they wanted to go and fight. So those who didn't want to fight don't have to (we just have to pay for it).
However as the cost in lives and treasure mounts with no measurable successes, even those on the sidelines have grown weary.

Since you are anti-Republican, nothing we say should shock you, we are your sworn enemies, n'est pas?
And since you failed to point out who said this, your argument is pretty sad, much like your opinion, but you are entitled to it.
It is just sad, a friend of mine started counting all the stupid people he saw when he was about 8 years old. He stopped counting at 5,000, and sadly there is no way to convince a stupid person to change their mind, so why bother trying?
I'm sorry, alleged mind that is.

I consider myself a Republican and I do not support the war in IRAQ, I support the troops though. It's not nice to generalize like that.
I am also shocked by this statement though, I say we send this guy to IRAQ and see if he still supports the war.

I do not believe you. Also, what Republican? FYI, if this is true why are so many of our fine military men and women Republican? And Conservative Democrat?
