More troops on the way and the Vet Administration making sure the conscription process is working.(THE DRAFT). It is a very lonely place when a loved one is sitting in a hospital bed. Recover soon, Senator. We need you and hope you recover soon.http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/12/21/22097.aspx#23476Fri, 29 Dec 2006 04:40:27 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:23476John DoeSounds Fishy To Me, How Convienent If He Should Die For The Bush Crime Family..http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/12/21/22097.aspx#23566Fri, 29 Dec 2006 15:41:54 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:23566Coy ReeseIt is worth noting that the usual "christian evangelical" infidels, James Dobson, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and their ilk, have been conspiciously absent from publicly offering "prayers" for Senator Johnson. As if we needed more evidence of these tax exempt frauds, preying on true believers....here it is. Every opportunity should be taken to expose these fakes, using Scripture to justify their Bible mocking behavior.http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/12/21/22097.aspx#24384Sat, 30 Dec 2006 16:49:45 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:24384Dan, MichiganI'm sorry Koy, but are the usual liberal christian infidels, the Rev Al Sharpton and the Rev Jesse Jackson offering prayers?http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/12/21/22097.aspx#24385Sat, 30 Dec 2006 16:52:21 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:24385Dan, MichiganI think it is funny that libs always point out that we should keep church and state separate, except when one of their candidates is campaigning from a church pulpit in Harlem or Detroit.
