Disavowel(?)

[Irish]

I don't even know if that's a word.This is not a "political"
statement but this has been bugging me,for days.One of the
Presidential candidates is a vetern.In not ALL,but in some speeches,he has(erroniously)claimed,to represent ALL veterns.
I am a 10% disabled vetern & just want to say that he doesn't
represent me or many veterns,that I know.I'm not publicly,
supporting anyone,but I just wanted to say that!Thank You! Irish

[jennaflower]

Irish...

He certainly isn't representing this Veteran either... and I would hope to think that MOST veterans see through his stunt... I would think that a democratic president is the last thing our military needs...


opppps... Did I just make that a political statement... YIKES... I feel a pouncing coming on.... hmmmm.... I NEED A POUNCING. ROFL ;)

[LixyChick]

It's all typical of any political race! They use their one and only characterisitc that they think might cut to the heart of the masses (ingratiate themselves into your life) and seperate them from the incumbent....and somehow make them seem like the better candidate! In this case GWB is NOT a military man.....so they'll use that against him if/when they can!

Politicians would do just about anything to get elected! The prize for them isn't to do all the good things they talked about in their speaches.....but to collect that all mighty dollar that is guaranteed them when their reign is over!

Yikes! That sounds a might jaded...don't it? OK....there may be a few political figures who have actually followed through with their campaign promises....but I'm hard pressed to name any at the moment!

[Catch22]

You can have our politicians if you want.

You pretty much sumed up my opinion of anyone who runs for office. They are not doing it for the people like they say when they are running, but for there own pocket.

None of it is being done for the reason it was intended when it was started way back in the begining. That in my opinion is the problem with our so called government today. They are not there for the people anymore, but themselves.

P.S. ((((Irish)))))

I am such a pain in the ass about my own spelling....(please don't notice I spelled "speech" wrong and didn't realize it till now and time is up for editing...not only in this thread....but I digress.....lol!)......I thought I'd help you ease your wonder!

Disavow=To refuse to acknowledge
Erroneously=Mistakenly

OK.....ok.......I did preface this with....."I'm such a pain in the ass"!!!!! Just thought I'd help is all.....*runs from thread*

[dicksbro]

Good question, Nikki. Haven't found it if there is.

[Oldfart]

Listen to Catch22.

We have some of the best politicians money can buy.

[Irish]

I don't know either,Nikki.There are Pro & Con websites on just
about everything.Perhaps,someone,who is more familiar,with
websites can help you.I am almost "computer illiterate" but some
of the members,know ALL about websites.Sorry! Irish
P.S.The person.that I was referring to is a Democrat.Perhaps there is a Democratic website?My wife & I,are registered independants,so No help there!

[Catch22]

This appears to be Deans homepage.

Who are the others running?

[Lilith]

Kerry appears to be the Dem front runner, Catch22.

[Catch22]

What is his first name?

[Catch22]

John Kerry

http://www.johnkerry.com/

[Lilith]

John, I think.

I suggest that people also search by issues, the ones that are important to you. Then you may be able to see who the groups that represent your feelings, are backing.

[Lilith]

Too quick for me Catch22 ;):D

[Catch22]

The guy that was the NATO General. What is his name?

[Irish]

Catch22---I THINK that you're referring to Clark,but I'm not sure!

Nikki,

At one point Slate Magazine was reviewing the various Democratic contenders. I'll see if I can find a link.

Just for the sake of accuracy, TWO of the democratic candidates are veterans. John Kerry, and Wesley Clark.
