Cruz, Palin join protesters at WWII Memorial

Forget the politicians involved, this is political gain for them - the point of this posting is to commend the Veterans who are not sitting back and just taking it. They are standing up to the government because of how badly it is behaving.

This is NOT the country these men fought for, that country would never barricade statues, close down roads and evict people from private property because they were having a hissy fit. The country they fought for would not try to make anything as painful as they can on the American people just because they want to make a point - the point of you need government and without government you will suffer.

How does that very government reply to the protests...my sending out police in riot gear to quell the protests.

Didnt we see the same response from a government 20 or so years ago against protesters who were tired of its governments abuse of power... Tienanmen Square?
 
Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

Cruz and Palin are honestly pathetic. I applaud the veterans on the other hand. 80+ years old and still fighting for their country against those who are trying to ruin it; their politicians. Hats off to them. I only wish the people would realize how corrupt the government is and make a true change, not an Obama "change"

Sarah Palin was the Cn'C of the Alaska National Guard. As Cn'C she paid a visit to her troops in 2007 in Kuwait during the Iraq war. This was back when 99.9 % didn't even know who Palin was. Her son also served in the Army and did a tour in Iraq.

Obama is suppose to be the Cn'C of our military and I didn't see him yesterday removing the barricades and carrying them over to his crib at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

BTW. Saraha Palin was just not a better Cn'C than Obama, but Palin had higher approval ratings from the troops as Cn'C than Obama ever had.

I bet you'd both be saying something very different if these were leftwrong-wing politicians showing up to support a similar protest against some alleged right-wing abuse.

HUH? that was a politicaly inspired barricade that had absolutely nothing to do with funding, of course they should get involved.

No, a photo op is a photo op.
 
Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

Every time a veteran does anything the GOP and Fox news are right there playing it up as hard as they can. I find it hard to believe its because they actually give a ****.
 
Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

Sarah Palin knew she couldn't beat Obama in 2012 so she went quietly out of the limelight during the election. Election is in 2.5 years. She's already trying to get some votes. Thankfully, there are 5 years worth of tapes showing how insane she is. She's downright unelectable.
 
Re: Cruz, Palin join protesters at WWII Memorial

For thier next performance, maybe they will cut funding for the meals on wheels program in the morning, then in the afternoon they could go hand out food to the poor.
 
Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

Photos and tape of these clowns will be saved and used for ads that are already being used to whack these whackadoos, as McCain once said..
America will not forget in 12 months this disgraceful use of our Veterans by the dead skunks in the middle of the road.

Veteran's come from many different parties. By the politicians showing up, it makes a statement for all the veterans. A statement they may or may not agree with. They are there to protest the closing of the memorials, not assign blame to one party or another.

In my opinion, the politicians showing up cheapened what the vets were trying to do.

Screw McCain. He was tortured during the Vietnam War yet has no issue with sending us to fight in even more useless wars than that one was in. Not to mention that he is the receives the largest donations from defense contractors of any politician in Washington. I loathe that idiot. He should know better.

Cruz/Palin 2016!!!! --- Because the GOP just doesn't have anybody better!

Agreed. No politician, regardless of party, has any honest interest in this cause. It's sad that we are so jaded by our elected officials that we believe this way.

I think Rand Paul will give whomever the Dems put up an honest run for their money. Cruz/Palin would be hilarious though.

Palin is an idiot and shouldn't be in charge of anything more than the recipe for ice cubes.

Rand Paul is another "winner". I can't wait to see which clown they nominate in 2016. This is going to be another Bob Dole or Walter Mondale election.

True. Very True. It turns what the vets were doing from a statement to a political stunt.
 
Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

And then she would quit being Commander in Chief of the Ice Cubes saying that she didn't want to be a lame duck C in C of Ice Cubes (cold duck?)

Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

My own thoughts on this, and on the other related incidents surrounding the issue of government shutdown, is that it would be so nice if everyone could just get a grip, and stop acting like hysterical children. My God, is all this drama really what we as a nation have come to? It's embarrassing as hell to me.

Or Palin on top. That might work also.

Paul needs to run as a Libertarian and simply be honest about it.

There's no such thing as a "Commander AND Chief." Just a helping hand, because it's hard to take someone seriously when they get that wrong every time.

Of course, the righty Palin-slurpers had to jump in and defend their Messiah.
