"the war on terror is nothing more than a bumper-sticker" -John Edwards

...that doesn't sit well with the United States Marine Corp. Completely Disgraceful to those of us who are veterans of OIF and Afghanistan. We had to face those animals first hand and we know how REAL and how SERIOUS this terrorism thing is.

Sorry, John, but I don't know a single Marine that will be supporting you and I'm on base with a few thousand of them.

Open your eyes now and be truely thankful for what you have. Freedom may be a right but it is not free. And you surely did not pay for this expensive gift. Imagine that someone breaks into your home. Violates your world. Holds a gun to your wife and children------What are you prepared to do to keep what you have.

Realize that you debate based on only what you know. 99% are followers. So have some faith in the 1% . Doing this only comes from accepting who you really are and who you are not. If you can be present enough to do this then you may not find yourself with a future white house that lacks a true leader. Tomorrow morning walk out of your front door. Close your eyes and imagine for a moment that your neighborhood was in Bagdad.

You must choose for yourselves, your family, and your country! Just as generations have before us have. Shape your future no matter what or be a victim, and be shaped by it. I hope the history books have more respect for President Bush's unwavering committment to this world. He is true statesman. You should strive to be as strong. Debate and free speech is what we were born upon. But, you need to have more trust in this government.

WHAT? , I FEAR that America has become weak. The 20's to 40's generations have had to want for nothing. They grew up in the best of times in this country. They were handed everything that their mommys and daddys had to struggle for. Unless you have served your country or overcome some other incredible odds, you do not know sacrifice. Fact-The lion at the top of the mountain is not nearly as hungry and the one climbing the mountain.

To John Edwards---You are a either a typical narrow minded and uneducated american or you are a typical american politician who will say anything whether or not you believe it to gain a vote. Open your eyes and realize that America can shape its future, as Bush is doing, or we can be subject to what others want our future to be. I will not gamble on those odds.
