a quick reminder

while out campaigning--well, really just doing lit-drops--for republican candidate john serben, i have encountered a surprising number (5 or 6 now) of "veterans for kerry" posters. i really didn't think that was possible. i respect their service to our country... i just wonder why they now seem willing to throw in the towel, as it were, and support kerry? you served our country honorably in the past, why give up now?

but there is still hope. it's nice to know that some people can still look at the bigger picture. i have several friends currently in the military--3 in the army, 1 marine, 1 navy--who are all voting for bush. my father, a veteran himself, is voting for bush. the father of a good friend of mine, who's heading over to iraq in december, is also voting for bush. could it be that they're all crazy, that they've been brainwashed? or could it be that they realize that conservative republicans, like president bush, care more about our men and women in uniform than leftist "democrats" like senator kerry could ever even pretend to?

two quotes tonight... one from the quote board, and one i recently discovered.

from the board: "[O]ne of the problems with our Party is people will say anything to get to be president of the United States...." --Howard Dean (a liberal democrat, by the way)

and my new favorite: "If you don't leave liberals in a sputtering impotent rage, you're not doing it right." --Ann Coulter

any of you liberals out there reading this... please let me know if i'm doing it right.
