I can't believe what I'm reading here. I don't know Aunty M but I can say this. If she is the spouse of a Vet, more power to her. I served 8 years in the 60s. The standing joke was, "If the military wanted you to have a wife they would have issued one." The truth was most carreer military that had wives, had a life. They didn't need to find it in the bottle or downtown. Wives are as important to the military as any support troops. To even insuinuate sarcastically or seriously that they are not entitled to their spouses pension and benefits smacks of everything I hate about liberals.

The chicken chit, rock tossing, foul mouthed protesters of the 60 s and 70s deserved every broken tooth and lip they got and I'm proud to say I
even got to break a few myself. I have no quarrel with the protester who stands his ground and fires rhetoric. The ones who tossed balloons full of urine, bags of feces and sailed sharpened coffe can lids into the police ranks are the ones who I despise. Yup and guess what! They harrassed military families too. Encouraged by yuppie professors who could not get a job in the real world and spewed hatred in the classes, the liberals snorted it thru their noses like pigs at a slop trough.

If anything Vets and their families do not get enough benefits. One of the strongest selling points of a military carreer was the knowledge your spouse and kids would be taken care of. Try going off to a remote assignment during wartime and leaving your wife and kids at home!


I had to "sell" enlistments that last year of my tour. We promised the enlistees they would always have at the minimum, health care at VA facilities even if they were not carreer. Anyone want to guess who put a stop to that? I was recently told by the VA that I made too much money to get VA benefits. So if I had been a deadbeat druggie and made no effort to get a job I would qualify!

My wife will receive 90% of my pension upon my demise. She earned it. I made sure of that option when I retired.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JHook, thanks for your service, and anyone who ever berates a vet in any way for his service deserves whatever end of a boot that vet gives him, wherever he plants it.

That, however, is not what this thread is about.

I agree, so why the backhanded slams on Aunty M?

Maybe 'cause secretly, Todd likes Marsha, and this is the only way he knows to try to catch her eye. We've all seen the kid in the schoolyard
picking on a girl 'cause he likes her and doesn't know any other way
to get her attention.. Watch out Auntie, he wants to sniff your panties!

She made her bed, now lies in it.

Women got nothing to do with it.

Because she's a big mouthed knowitall who pitches out insults and names like jellybeans, and then whines like a little girl if she gets some back, denying that it ever happened that way...funny thing is, I think she actually believes it, which makes her a bit deranged.

She not only has similar health coverage to what the public option would be, but she doesn't even have to go to work or pay her own taxes to get it...yet thinks that no one else should have that option.

It's another version of her usual hypocrisy, and it's worth pointing out whenever she interjects her ignorance into yet another thread, turning the thread to crap.

I love women, and I don't care what their political beliefs are...I'd dislike Marsha and her ridiculous prejudices, attitudes, and "centrist" beliefs whether she were a man, a woman, or one of KK's goats...that's just another one of her "victim" cards she likes to play.

Yeah...


BUT:










(With 11K posts, I doubt ANYONE opened their mouth before her.)

Elitism and class warfare.

True That!!!! Truly sad.....

Reminds of school yard bullys thinking they have a victim.

And as soon as you ascertain the individual differing from your point of view is a "liberal idiot", the course of the debate turns to personal attacks and name calling.

Agree, freespool. I reviewed the thread and that appears to be the start of it.

Classic. Discussing personal attacks WITH personal attacks.

I thought this was a thread about health care not throwing partisan stones.

If you are a functioning able minded adult you shouldn't be wrapping everything up in one party or another you should be looking at things objectively and not jumping on bandwagons. Much of what I hear sounds like regurgitated am radio.

There are no ratings wars on a message board, just attempts for some enlightenment.

Leave the blind faith partisan politics to Rush, that's what he gets paid for.

This is AM on credibility:

Welcome aboard, Victim #2...either moderate, or shut up. You can't do both, not with any integrity. Either participate in the discussion, or leave it alone.

I like it when Marsha posts...she just proves the opposite of whatever she's trying to do the more she opens her big trap. It seems to be the track record for all faux-centrists.

I'd like a large pepperoni, olives on half pineapple on half original crust, two salads, one with ranch, one with bleu cheese, and a two liter diet coke for pick up.

Try comparing the post office to UPS or Fed Ex. Who is losing money?

I think some former Clinton appointees from Fannie and Freddie are looking for work. Theyre already rich. Im sure they will work for free.

Libs will love socialize medicine, until someone like Mr. Brown? Who ran the dept in charge of Katrina. Or will democrats use health care to beat the public over the head every election. Does anyone in government make less than 20 dollars and hour?
