This week, as the Senate debates military spending, I will be pressing to advance key elements of our Military Families Bill of Rights. When I do, I want to enter into the Senate record stories from families that know firsthand the hardships that our troops and veterans so willingly take on to keep America strong.Shameless, says David Limbaugh:
I hope you will take just a few minutes right now to share a story from your family or your community. It’s one way you can personally help them get the support they so clearly deserve.

. . . Whether it’s families here at home who can no longer pay their bills with their modest military salaries … or children left without health insurance because a reservist parent lost his or her coverage … or health care expenses going through the roof for an injury received in the line of duty … or simply being unable to afford a hotel room to be by the side of an injured loved one recovering from battlefield injuries in a V.A. hospital.
John Kerry wants to go back on the floor of the Senate and trash the Bush administration, implying that it is not providing adequate support for our troops. It's one thing for this nuisance of a man to grandstand, but it is inexcusable for him to be exploiting the military and military families in the process.And since when is "sharing" a one-way street: Kerry still hasn't "shared" his military records by signing a Form 180 as he promised months ago.
When it comes to undercutting defense spending and general support for the military, John Kerry has few peers -- and he has the audacity to charge this administration with a callous attitude toward the military?
Could someone please explain to this guy that no matter how much posturing he engages in about the military he'll never convince people he is committed to their cause.
I agree with Will Collier that Kerry's email is emblematic of current liberals:
Kerry isn't interested in stories of heroism or honorable service or good works. He's just looking for gripes and camera-ready tales of "victims" that he can parade before the press. That's disgusting. That's the kind of stuff you'd expect from a Michael Moore or hell, from Bagdhad Bob himself.Kerry's tactic is -- I've never argued this before, but no other word suffices -- un-patriotic.

First: great title of your blog. Brilliant.
Second: D. Limbaugh wrote: "When it comes to undercutting defense spending and general support for the military, John Kerry has few peers."
That may be the case, but it's equally true that, when it comes to supporting benefits for veterans and active duty troops, Kerry is peerless.
This bill is absolutely consistent with his record on the subject.
Statistics conclusively prove: John Kerry is a douchebag
Kerry has sunk so low with this latest ploy that my first thought this morning was "What an unbelievable douchebag!" This spurred me to some serious scientific research. I had to find out: is John Kerry the biggest douchebag in the world?
Google finds 13,000,000 hits for a search on John Kerry. This gives us our baseline Kerry identification level. Then, by searching John Kerry douchebag, we find how many mentions associate John Kerry with a douchebag. The result is 17,500. By dividing this number by the 13 million baseline Kerry identification level and multiplying by 1000, we arrive at the Douchebag Identification Per Thousand(TM) quotient (DBIPT). Kerry's DBIPT score is 1.35, a truly phenomenal rating.
For comparison, George W. Bush's DBIPT score is just 0.56. No other politician has been found with a douchebag identification score anywhere near Kerry's. Seeking other douchebags outside of the world of politics, I tried to find scores as high as Kerry's. I thought Howard Stern might have a high rating, not just because some people think he is a douchebag, but because Stern and his fans use the term "douchebag" so often in describing others. Stern's DBIPT score is, however, a surprisingly low 0.36. We have yet to find anyone in any field with a douchebag identification quotient as high as John Kerry's. We can therefore declare, until we find contradicting evidence, that John Kerry is the biggest douchebag in the world.

Hmmm. Even concentrating on spending bills alone, Kerry famously voted "Nay" on the $87 billion funding package, much of which was earmarked for the troops. And Kerry was the only Senator to vote against the BioShield Act of 2003.
Further, accusing our soldiers of war crimes -- without evidence -- is slander, not "support." And, of course, when fashionable, Kerry was vociferously anti-military. Then not. Which is why so many vets opposed him in November.
Whatever else he may be, John Kerry is anything but consistent--a fatal flaw for anyone seeking to be Commander in Chief.
JPE, sorry but I forgot: thank you for appreciating my blog name! I may soon comment on your post on health care.
