  • Who else better to speak on foreign affairs, then someone who knows through hand to hand combat .

  • Wikipedia says at 62 he won't run again in 2012. If more representatives talked like he does there would be more votes to divide amongst all parties. He has the most subtle way of calling Bush a prevaricator i have EVER heard.

  • Yup and hes my cuzin,lol

  • We lost Grayson but at least we still have Jim Webb. God I hope he gets re-elected next year.

    I hate how these pro-wall street "blue dog" and "DLC" democrats are ruining left-wing trust in the democratic party. Webb is one of the few good democrats left.

  • How about we take some money out of your paycheck senator instead of trying to take it out of military personnel and cutting military numbers!

  • As a Virginia Democrat I remember the concearn I had when Jim Webb, Ronald Reagan's Sec. of the Navy and Under Secretary of Defense, was running as a Democrat. Look many people, I worried if he was from the right and not the left. I now know that he is about the right over the wrong. What a concept, right over wrong instead of left over right. I look forward to supporting him in his re-election bid and attacking the smears from certain groups.

  • we need to vote all of these idiot elitists out of office and take back our nation,some of these morons have spent their entire lives in govt and its time for a real change we can believe in. vote them out in 2010 and odumba in 2012 all losers

  • @ajack50 Sen Jim Webb is a decorated army officer from the Vietnam war. He's a silver star, two bronze stars and two purple hearts. Jim Webb Junior( a senators son) has completed two tours of vietnam. i don't called that elilist.

  • I agree we have many in congress that are great but most have been in office far too long. Jim webb is our chance at winning a victory in 2012 against the left and odumba

  • @boscoesarmy Actually- he's all Marine, and a USNA grad. No offense, Army. But you're right in that he's anything BUT an "elitist". Although, in addition to serving as Sec. of the Navy (under Reagan), he is also a published author of several books, and a film producer- accomplishments that'd make any "elitist" envious.

  • @BenAliGtor Ya, my spelling and grammar wasn't the best when i wrote this. Meant to say his son completed tours of Iraq at the time of writing and yes the spelling is " elitist ". Should have said also that he was awarded or he has a silver star. I must have been annoyed at the time of writing. It's a pity the Republican party cannot find presidential candidates of his calibre. He sounds like a man with great integrity. The guy is a natural born leader as well.

  • Ajack ... I am a Republican and a proud Virginian. Senator Webb is a Democrat but I am proud to have him as a senator. He is a man of high personal honor and courage. THough I disagree with many of his stances, I am proud to have him as a senator. and I object STRONGLY to you charaterizing him as an "elitist moron".

  • Jim Webb > Barack Obama = George W. Bush

  • Bobby Jindal isn't even fit to kiss Jim Webb's ass.

  • Jindal should have at least watched this before his address.

  • No,the recession started 8 months after dems took control of congress. Also, the dotcom crash happened when we had a republican house , senate and president.

    Herbert Hoover , a REPUBLICAN was in control during the great depression.

  • Very simple argument. Also very logically flawed.

    Both parties are at fault. Government is the problem.

  • you do know that republicans and democrats switched policies around the 50s and 60s right?

  • There are others like yourself who make a political argument that does not consider the real cause and effects of a situation. The economy is weak, unlike what McCain said last month. In spite of the tremendous gains in production of the American worker, 6 million more Americans are in poverty today than in 2000 and the dollar is still far behind where it was than when GW took office. Look at all of the body of facts before you put together an argument. Lack of financial oversight. Be truthful!

  • "HefDiggityDog: Being a combat vet let me just make this clear, Iraq, whether it be the "green zone" in Baghdad or near the Iranian border in Kurkuk, is a combat zone.Anyone who does not believe that this new GI Bill is worth the tax on the $1 million plus a year households should really reconsider living in America.I think McCains bill is also a nice boost and either one would be appreciated by many service members, if not all, but why not the best if it only taxes the richest few?"

    Dang

  • Fuck of Lord Haw Haw Allen got canned because he called a guy Macaca.

    That and he threw his sister through a door.

  • Jim Webb exemplifies what's best in American politics. I'm a Republican myself, and I only wish that the GOP could come up with candidates who are combat veterans like Jim who have the intellect, integrity, and leadership capability to offer this nation public servants who have earned our respect. I especially like the way he highlighted TR and Ike as the type of Republican chief executive that the current office holder would do well to emulate.

  • Jim Webb Is My cousin!

  • @BenAliGtor STFU

  • @GlowingSkull27 That's your best comeback, little girl? Go play with your dollies.

  • His son "Jimmy" was very much in the UNsafe zone. He served in both Afghanistan and Iraq. The Webb family is very much emmersed in the "warrior ethic" and they would be ashamed to take special treatment while serving.

  • Being a combat vet let me just make this clear, Iraq, whether it be the "green zone" in Baghdad or near the Iranian border in Kurkuk, is a combat zone.Anyone who does not believe that this new GI Bill is worth the tax on the $1 million plus a year households should really reconsider living in America.I think McCains bill is also a nice boost and either one would be appreciated by many service members, if not all, but why not the best if it only taxes the richest few?God Bless America AirAssault

  • Sorry don't remember.

  • My memory is that Webb's son was in combat.

  • Obama/Webb 2008

  • Obama/Webb 08

  • He was involved in some controversy about making derogatory remarks about women in the military.

  • Webb is impressive..

  • Sen. Webb has been the most outspoken supporter of veterans' rights in the United States Senate. We ask everything of our troops and then abandon them once they complete their service. Webb means to change that.

  • Clinton/Webb 2008!

    Or

    Obama/Web 2008!

    or

    Clinton/Obama 2008!

  • Assuming that Democrats could guarantee retaining his Virginia Senate seat I'd agree with you.

  • Jim Webb would be an ideal running mate for Obama.

  • I've done alot of research on Webb and I love him in the Senate but trust we don't want him in the White House.

    I hope Webb replaces Reid though as U.S. Senate Majority Leader.

  • Jim Webb for President

  • Have you ever been arrested for saying 'Hello' to foreigners?

    Do you even know anyone who has been arrested for saying 'Hello' to foreigners?

  • Bullshit.

  • I think people know of these things, but I think they are frightened into conformity or complacency. Was it not recently, the tear gassed demonstrator's in Canada responded by throwing rocks at the corrupt cops spraying the harmful chemicals. The powers want this violence so they can justify a police state. Congress has to start real impeachment proceedings and stop making excuses for their idleness.

  • This is possibly the Best Democratic Response ever.

  • I agree. Jim Webb is one of the best people they could have chosen.

  • 1) huh?

    2) That's actualy possible.

  • Jim Webb is a douchebag.

  • He's on a mission from God. ;)

  • So far Webb has 1) Contemplated punching Bush 2) had an aid who try to bring a gun into the senate.

    Webb does not need a third strike.

  • Don't confuse professional courtesy for ass kissing.

  • Q: Just when has he kissed up to Bush?

    A:Never

  • where was he in 2004

  • Where was Chomsky when Tillman was being made into a poster boy for the right?

  • SENATE REPUBLICANS DEFEAT BILL FOR THE TROOPS

    Senator Jim Webb proposed legislation that would give the Army and Marines at least as much time at home and in training, as on tour of duty in Iraq.

    Republicans killed the measure. Vote was close.

    Army and Marines: You know who your friends are back here.

    Republicans: That magnet on your car says Support, not Screw, the troops.

  • do you have a shred of proof that Webb trying to get in with the best lobbiest in Washington?

    Or are you just talking out of your ass?

  • i think this guy is talking out of his ass.. if he knew anything he'd know webb doesnt need any money at all... he produced the movie rules of engagement.. and his books have netted him more money...

  • Webb is too busy bringing automatic pistols into Congress

  • He's never brought a gun into Congress.

  • he brought it into his office building.. and he's allowed to have a gun on the property

  • No Webb left a gun in his car.

  • nah man read the report on washington post... it was going through russels security checkpoint which is a joke... he was bringing the gun into his office for protection most likely

  • Webb didn't bring the gun in.

  • i am so glad that jim webb is in office, thanks goodness chicken hawk draft dodger, too much of a coward to fight in vietnam george allen is gone. thank you senator, thank you for your father services in WW2, your services in vietnam, and your son services in iraq. we own our freedom to people like your father, your son, and you.

  • Let me assure you people of one thing. We Virginian sorely regret that we got this sniveling little empty-suited liberal fuck in place of a great statesman like the Honorable Senator George Allen.

  • You only regret that Macacca mouth got kicked out of office because you hate black people too.

  • Grow up and support democracy. Virginia *DISAGREES* with you. Virginia elected Jim Webb (as in a more votes than his opponent). Jim Webb did what George Bush never did - fight in a US war. Jim Webb's son did what George Bush's daugher never did - fight in the Iraq War.

    George Allen's own words make him a racist and a fear monger.

  • This post was made in response to 'fruticetum'

    Grow up and support democracy. Virginia *DISAGREES* with you. Virginia elected Jim Webb (as in a more votes than his opponent). Jim Webb did what George Bush never did - fight in a US war. Jim Webb's son did what George Bush's daugher never did - fight in the Iraq War.

    George Allen's own words make him a racist and a fear monger.

  • Unfortunately, some of the more gullible and uneducated Virginians were suckered in by hit pieces against George Allen over the macaca non-story by the Washington Post. That goddamn rag needs to be restricted.

  • guess free speach is only for foxnews.

  • Free 'speach' is a lot different from telling lies, dumbfuck.

  • If they were telling lies don't you think George Allen would have sued?

    Guess you're the dumbfuck.

  • <with sarcasm> In response to fruticeturn.........yea.......­...don't you just want to puke when the majority speaks loud and clear about what they read and hear from the press...........we could certainly do without a free press, an informed, literate citizenship and responsible voting public.

  • Loud and clear majority? Hell, this dipshit only won by a few thousand votes. And it was the gullible uneducated folks who listen to the Washington media.

  • <with sarcasm>...........yea....ain'­t democracy a pain in the __________.

    Let me guess........you thought George Allen would get back in through the back door like George Bush, Junior? Which one actually fought in a war again?

  • Oh I don't mind true democracy; I just hate when lying media bastards intentionally lie in order to sway elections.

    As for the war vet, wasn't that Bill Clinton? Oh wait. He wasn't.

  • They didn't lie though... he did say that... It sounds like you are against Webb is a flaming liberal... I think you couldn't be further from the truth

  • huh?

  • who cares.you better hope Hillary never has to really be the commander in chief if that's your litmus test.

    same with Obama,Edwards,Kucinich,etc.

  • Yeah, maybe we should go with Romney, who will pose for pictures and try to teach muslims the word of christ by way of some blonde dude named john from utah.... Or maybe we should hope that old fat guy from law and order leads the country between acting auditions and shopping trips with his trophy wife. But then there is Giuliani who'll just nuke the bastards (As a new yorker, I know his style first hand... don't think he wont)

  • you changed the subject.i was responding to someone who brought boots on the ground experience into play.

  • Oh... my bad. Well that doesn't make sense either. Being in battle doesn't necessarily make you a war expert or good president, anymore than working at burger king for a few months makes one a great chef. But nonetheless... Jim Webb is awesome.

  • he's just another nasty democrat.mean to the core.

  • Huh? The problem with dems is that they are afraid to be mean, coarse, blunt, honest, and straight-forward. Webb is aggressive and mean in his delivery, but his basis and motives are not mean. One of the things I appreciate about him is his lack of interest in what anyone thinks of him. Leading Dem's are wreaking of that stink.

  • Snort less crack.

  • Uh yes, Meatpie very insightful reply on your part. Webb's pointing to the income disparity between the average CEO and the average employee probably went right over your head didn't it?

  • What a over-bloated loudmouth punk.

  • I like what jim webb said about addressing world trust for us, is important. also what the costs of college tuition and medical needs are going to be. unfair wages and jobs moving overseas. He's focused on more important issues than extreme idiots with AK's and RPG's

  • Sen Webb is doing something w/his life. He's served in the USMC and now is serving b/c he stoned up & is trying to change something. What are you doing? Oh, I'm serving in the Army trying to change my little piece of the world.

  • I hope the new house of representive and the senate is serious about fixing the issues within our country and making the reputation of country better.

  • Yeah, it's called Silent Guardian. It sounds fun, doesn't it?

  • how dare this white man talk about our king like this!!!

  • Half of those criminal asses do jobs that others refuse to do for little pay because they want better lives for their families.

  • This speech was the highlight of the State of the Union address. I was not expecting the Democratic response to be so strong and to the point. Bravo Senator Webb, and bravo to the Democrats for their wisdom in choosing Senator Webb as their spokesman.

  • Bush is against our troops and is willing to sacrifice them even though he KNOWS it won't do anything. Bush is alone, a traitor, and must be impeached, tried, and incarcerated for life.

    Good job Dems, God bless u!

  • Impeach CHENEY!!!!

  • what a joke! GET A JOB

  • fuck off

  • Hold Bush to weaning us off of oil.

  • Funny, I didn't catch Webb saying anything about druggies, dropouts and misfits here. Are you on crack?

  • PROCLAIMEROFTRUTH is a paranoid jackass.

  • Great response. What are the Dems doing about the anti- internet bill sponcered by McCain??

  • Senator Webb just laid the smack down! 

    SUCK IT DUBYA!

  • I thought this was well put. I watched this on MSNBC.

    Does anyone know if Fox "News" showed this response? I switched over to see what they were saying, and I did not hear any of them speak about this. I didn't leave it on long though, as my brain hurts if I leave Faux News on too long.

  • Fox did show this as I recorded it off broadcast TV to post it myself, but Pelosi's staff is obviously faster than me!

  • lol same thing happend to me.

  • Anyone who believes the news media is society's conscious, either never gets out of his house, or is very gullible. The pulse of America is not determined by the news media. We need candidates who tell the news media to go to hell.

  • This was on Fauxnews website last night.

    "Dems Blast Bush's Iraq Policy

    Sen. Jim Webb calls on Bush to abandon military action, turn to diplomacy in State of the Union response"

    notice the choice of words "abandon military"?

  • Yes, they want to make a military man who happened to switch parties look like a swooning pacifist.

  • Or an outright supporter of those who want to hurt America.

  • Eloquent speaking, rational clash with the president. Couldnt ask for a better rebut, but I'm sure someone will burn him for it.

    Kudoes Dems.
