It goes without saying? Nah.

We've suffered under these smirking, lying, perverted bastards for six long years now and they never gave us any mercy. So they don't get any either.

As their criminal lunatic gang begins to whither in the light of day, from the Iraq debacle to Abramoff's clients Ney and Delay and the rest, to racist dumbshits like George Allen, they are all in for a good old fashioned public tar and feathering.

joe gets his too. Step on up joe. Hold still while I soil myself on you.

Howling mad Republicans form lynch mob to hang Mark Foley as a sex offender

They are SHOCKED! SHOCKED! that there was a child sex predator in their midst. Oh, the righteous indignation! Who could have guessed that Foley was a flaming pervert.

The Freeper blogs are humming like a cheap TV this morning with utter dismay. At Foley? Well, yeah, but more significantly they are whining:

"Democrats are trying to take advantage of the bad press."

Oh really?

I guess after the last six years of non-stop flame-throwing dirty tricks and skull duggery by the RNC the Democratic Party is just supposed to sit by and offer tea and sympathy?

The hell with that!

It's time to pull some more of these two-faced Republican hypocrites out of the closet.

Start with Ken Mehlman.

Gutless Republican no-show pisses on double amputee combat veteran

Here's another Republican scumbag to take note of: Pete Roskam, congressional candidate of the Illinois sixth district, trying to replace that old letcher Henry Hyde, another Republican two-faced "family values" hypocrite who kept a mistress on the side and fathered a "love child" with her.

Pete Roskam is 40 years old. He lists among his accomplishments a bicycle trip he once made across the United States. He was in such great physical condition back then that he easily could have joined the Marine Corp or the U.S. Army and fought in Gulf War I, or even Kosovo with the U.N.

But despite his athletic look and that American flag he wraps himself in, he never served. I can't imagine what excuse he has. Rush Limbaugh said he didn't serve because he had a boil on his ass. Saxby Chambliss didn't serve because he had a "bad knee." Dick Cheney didn't serve because he "had other priorities."

And so now this gutless chickenshit is running against Tammy Duckworth, an Iraq War veteran chopper pilot who lost both legs in combat. And you know what he's been saying about her?

He's been telling his peanut gallery that Tammy Duckworth is a "Cut and Run Democrat." Put aside for a moment how crass that is, considering that brave, heroic Tammy Duckworth will never be able to "run" anywhere, ever again, but focus on the absolute shameless gall of that son-of-a-bitch to call into question Tammy Duckworth's courage, her patriotism, her duty and her sacrifice to this country.

You can send a monitary donation to Tammy's campaign at her website. You should do it. You can also leave a message for that walking, talking piece of human excrement Pete Roskem at his website. You should do that too.

I know that not everyone had the physical fitness or maybe the opportunity to serve in time of war. But if they did not, I think it is contemptable that they would have the gall to call a disabled combat veteran a "Cut and Run" anything.

Get back on your bicycle, Rostam. You're not fit to carry Tammy Duckworth's piss bottle.

"Bill" you need glasses, or a hearing aid, or both

NOWHERE in the ad does it say that's a Vietnam flak "vest."

If you ever wore one of the damned things you would have called it a Flak Jacket, not a "vest." Vest is REMF talk.

The kevlar vest in the ad, the one that couldn't stop the 7.62mm NATO ball ammo from the AK-47 was most certainly the newer version called the "Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops" or PASGT. It's a mid 1980s design that has been upgraded and has pouches for ceramic anti-ballistic inserts. But only some troops get the inserts.

No matter, it's still not the state of the art jacket that is available to cops in the United States. Hell, even the Blackwater and Custer Battles mercenaries and the Halliburton cooks all have the new vests. But not our front line grunts.

Now climb back up on your bar stool down at the V.F.W. and try to convince yourself that you actually know something about anything.
