    Groenhagen, you are some piece of work!

    How about letting the professional soldiers fight the war in Afghanistan? You know, the ones about whom "conservatives" love to say, "They knew the risk when they took it!" and "They volunteered didn't they?!" By that logic those manly soldiers are expendable, right? So why send us pathetic, limp-wristed liberals?

    AND Groenhagen, you have made some valid points, so stick to the facts and don't get smarmy about Obama just because your candidate and his idiot sidekick weren't elected!
