When Al Gore went to Saudi Arabia he told them the American government "abused" Muslims after 9/11. A reporter asked him what he ment by that comment and Gore said we expelled Muslims with expired visas. This he calls "abuse" after 9/11?
Then John Kerry goes saying our troops terrorize Iraqi women and children when they do their house to house searches.
Now, most of the democratic candidates (except for Biden) appear to show the same anti-military attitude in their silence. An overwhelming % of American's are against MoveOn.org's ad trying to assassinate the character of General Petraus.
Are the democratic candidates displaying the same anti-military, anti-American sentiment their predisessors did?

I don't think all of them are, but I think a large portion of them tend to be Anti Military. They don't speak it publicly ( most of the time) because they are afraid of backlash from the American people.
The Democrats decided to make a shift to the hard left (I think because that is where their campaign contributions were coming from) They are very supportive of the Anti War part of the United States.
When those in the democratic party come out in favor of the military they do just about everything they can to discredit them (Joe Lieberman)
I think they are making serious mistakes and ultimately will be the end of the democratic party. When we are attacked again the country will kick them out of office permanently, with the exception of states like Vermont, Massachusetts and California

Actually, you should document something like that and look real hard at how many innocent Iraqis are killed each day directly related to our presence in Iraq. In any event,such alleged statements do NOT represent anti american or anti military sentiments in any way. Even if you look at the moveon.org panic attack, it's being overplayed and hyped beyond reason, as the "an overwhelming % figure" given for against any such 'political' ad. Most just shrug and say, 'What's News?'...
(your question seems an ill prepared political statement rather than any curious onlooker wishing to get in the know.)

First of all, it is nt true that "an overwhelming % of American's (sic) are against MoveOn.org's ad...." Millions signed the petition in favor of it. And, why does it mean we are anti-anything (except more lies) if we disagree with Petarus?? He obviously got his "talking points" from his boss--the "Commander in Chief".
If I didn't care about America, do you think I'd stay here and protest, sign petitions, write on Y!A, and try to show people how we've been lied to and duped by the Bush Administration?? Heck no--I'd be across the border and into Canada, begging for citizenship, in a minute. I love this country, but I will NOT back it when it's WRONG!!! (That's like all those mommas of juvenile delinquents saying, "...Not MY baby...") Darn it! If we're wrong, we're wrong, and shutting up and going along with the "program" only enables its continuance.
Wake up and do some research before you blindly follow the General off to war.........

Notice the Senators who voted no to condemning personal attacks on the honor and integrity of General Petraeus. The traitors who want to become Commander in Chief of the military they despise. Wow! What a shock! ( yeah right) All of the nays are Democrats. Same ones who if elected will downsize the military (like Clinton) and leave us wide open , undefended in attacks.

As for as Gore and Kerry, they are a joke anyway, we knew they were anti military years ago. I doubt anyone takes these two serious anymore.

Gore and Kerry are both liberal sickoes and traitors.
Gore needs to undergo a thorough mental evaluation to see if he's fit to stand civil trial for his global warming lies perpetrated upon the American people and the international community.

This Moveon ad will be the albatros around the neck of Democratic Presidential Candidates and will bite them in the butts for the rest of their runs at the White House.

Nope. All leaders, Democrats or Republicans are just pure power-crazy and only aim for maximizing profits for self purposes.
