Wow, That is amazing. Or not surprising I guess I should say. So answer this; Why are So, So many Enlisted Military FOR the Republicans?? They support the leaders like trolls, asking no questions of our fearless leaders. After all, who could ever question our 'Commander In Chief', 'We trust in his judgement & will follow his orders',...'leave the country if you don't believe in him'. Or what about the Religious Right?, supporting the President with no questions asked. What gives with the obvious??, ie)'They' are being led to slaughter & to the 'Mark Of The Beast'?? I just don't understand it.

The ones who are most educated are NOT pro-Republican. Of the almost 100 Iraq vets who have filed to run for Congress, most are running as Democrats. Of the officers who have returned from Iraq, half are criticizing our policy in Iraq. Most are criticizing it provately to protect their positions and pensions. Open criticism can be prosecuted as treason - especially with THIS White House. And the vast majority of enlisted soldiers are simply following orders and listening to their commander in chief. In other words - doing their job. But once discharged or in hospitals receiving horrible care, few are supporting Bush's adventurism and murderous policies.

Bush is not the Anti-Christ

I saw a program on the Anti-Christ on the History Channel.

One of the authors of the "left behind" series of books (I think it was Jerry Jenkins) said that the Anti-Christ "would be intelligent, articulate, charismatic, attractive, and speak many languages."

Clearly, that leaves George W. Bush out.

I will soon go to an addiction treatment because I am politically addicted and I need to clear my mind of all this politics because it very time consuming.
