For the record, I was invited by the original post to share my comments, and by God I will.

My family have served in three wars for the United States of America, thank you very much.
My great grandfather served as an officer during the Great War.
My grandfather is buried with honors at Arlington Cemetery.
He commanded a submarine in the pacific, and sank a fair number of Japanese subs.
My father, a Marine, served in Korea.
My mother was a nurse during Vietnam.
My cousin served in Korea, and is now a decorated police officer and the head of his unit.
Your misinformed ignorance doesn't bother me. I pity you really.
My family defended this country in times of war and in peace, and that gives me the right to say what ever it is that I want others to hear, as that is my first amendment right. I have learned about honor and truth from my family, and it has served me well.
I know for a fact that anything from Bush's treacherous mouth is a lie, and the American people are waking up to that hard fact.
Bush has created propaganda for an illegal and immoral war that the United States should not be supporting.
It dishonors those that fought for this country to use or brave soldiers in this sick twisted fashion, forcing them to torture and kill prisoners in detention camps. That's a NAZI tactic right out of Ravenbruck prison.
Karl Rove should be rotting in prison, not setting policy.
There is a reason why Novak has had to go back to the grand jury five times (as of this writing - it may be more now).
Rove is going down, one way or another, and Dick Cheney's chief of staff is connected directly to this traitor, which makes him a traitor as well.
We should, instead be fighting the terrorists, which is what Clinton did, and the Brits are doing now.
If you recall the Republicans cried "No war for Monica!" when Clinton sent missles into Afghanistan to kill Osama bin Laden. The U.S. could have killed him then, had Republicans allowed it.
It wouldn't have stopped al Queada cold, but it would have slowed them down dramatically, I believe.
The recent bombings in London and Madrid have proven that Bush is recruiting terrorists, NOT stopping them.
The idea that fighting them there will stop them from coming here is obviously discredited.
This kind of propaganda is seen for what it is.
It's not a tribute. It could have been, but it's not.
It's a propaganda piece for so called Republicans that vote against body armor for the troops, vote against decent food, vote against providing health care, vote against adequate troop levels, and vote to send our troops into harms way without good cause.
Our military men and women are being used for evil, and that is not what this country stands for.
The "coalition" has crumbled, and even the Brits will be out of Iraq by the end of September. It's over. The Iraq war is already lost, as is the "war on terror".
We have men in the white house who has perpetrated the high crime of treason. They should be impeached and jailed for their many criminal acts.

The best you can do is try to start some crap on a Jeep Club forum. Bugger off.
This thread was not started by me.
The request for comments was not written by me.
The first post of dissent was also not mine.
You apparently didn't read the thread very well.
I pity your lack of intellect. It's truly sad.
No, the best that I can do is what I am already doing.
I am a political activist. I became one when Dubya deliberately ignored national security briefings that said "Bin Laden Determined to Attack the United States". Reading _My Pet Goat_ and doing a photo op while people died was more important than giving an order to shoot down planes.
That's when I became involved. I was outraged by extremists who are trying to destroy the democratic experiment that my family fought so hard for.
I am for verifiable voting systems, and for defending democracy.
Extremists do NOT want fair and accurate voting, and they have proven that.
It took Democrats in Colorado to pass bills protecting people from vote fraud, thanks in small part to my efforts.
I have been an election judge in two elections, and I (along with many others) have gotten rid of touch screen voting in my county.
I march in parades, and attend rallies against the so called PATRIOT ACT.
I also talk with voters, LOTS of voters, and as a result, we turned Colorado bright blue, taking back the house and senate of Colorado for liberals.
I work with the local college campus organizers, and I contribute money to campaigns, and provide any help that I can, including logistical support.
We will take away the fascist Wayne Allard's senate seat in 2008, and we will take away Musgrave and Beuprez's seats in 2006.
Republican rule of Colorado is at an END, and then, when that job is done, I will move on, and do it all over again in another state.
See, I HAVE done my homework, and it's working.
The people are starting to see the truth, and most have stoped believing Republican lies. Recent polls reflect that fact. That, and they cannot ignore that Bush is a traitor to this wonderful country through his outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson.
Your personal insults have only inspired me to redouble my efforts,
so I thank you.

Go back home and do your homework, you have summer school in the morning kid.
Personal insults are all you have. You have no facts to suport you.
Please, waste your time attacking me personally.
It helps my cause.
"Even though I'm a tranquil guy now at this stage of my life, I have nothing but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust by exposing the name of our [CIA] sources. They are, in my view, the most insidious of traitors."
