:shocked: Wow, quite a pattern.

 

[freegeeks]

LOL

 

[maddogchen]

So...did they just pick the Democrats who did serve and the Republicans who didn't? Odd that they would put Jeb Bush a gov and not Colin Powell Secretary of State.

 

[KK]

Wow :roll:, if that ain't just a bias POS. Oh wait they did include Bill's did not serve. That makes this POS much fairer.

Nice little troll thread. Commence the liberal circle jerk.

They also forgot Sam Johnson, GOP Rep. from Texas (3rd District). Of course, he only served 29 years, flying combat missions in both Korea and Vietnam, and was a 'guest' of North Vietnam for ~7 years, so he's no real war hero like John Kerry.

The big difference is that "liberals" don't dishonor the contributions of those that serve nor try to bring down their accomplishments (e.g. McCain and Kerry). This website is lame, so let's just leave it at that.

Not to mention this site, where the leftie cut-n'-paste crew was happy to share the there-is-no-evidence-of-liberal-media-bias piece du jour.

You must have slept through the '92 and '96 elections then.

Sean Hannity......HAHAHAHAHA.

I bet you could flick his ear lobe hard and he would start balling.

That goes for that liar Cavuto too.

Just got my vote as the most biased use of bandwidth for the day...

WTF is the guy behind EV.com thinking?

(also if I missed one of their records then let me know - none of those I added have service in the bio and a quick search didn't turn up anything to support the notion that they did.)

 

[miketheidiot]

Bob dole

I can think of only one.

and kucinich is not a major liberal by any means.

 

[Darkhawk28]

I think we can all agree is that little list is incomplete and we need to honor those that served for this country, no matter if they're Congresmen, Presidents, journalists or even the local butcher.

Absolutely! that list is intentionally slanted. Look at the Senators of the 108th congress for example. 16 Democrats served, 18 Republicans served, and 1 independent served. Looks like a pretty even split to me. It is silly to try and make the case that people of one party or another are more likely to have served their country.

Oh Darkhawk don't forget congresswomen. There is at least one I know of Congresswoman Heather Wilson, R-NM United States Air Force 1978-1989
