Just wondering.....

If they are, then their service and heroism is a pile of bullshit. ROAR!!!!

:grr:

If one of these young men runs for office one day as a Democrat, will the Repubs question the validity of their injuries?

has a curly tail?

Thanks to you, those two men don't have legs. Way to frikkin go!

Viva Bush!

to a VA hospital I've heard of him making. He is really straining to make it looks like he really cares. What will he do next? Attend a funeral?

dressed as Santa Claus?

...I've posted a few. He drags along the White House photographer and the results are enshrined on the W.H. Web Site. After all, he is the compassionate conservative.

:sarcasm:

"get this asshole out of here."

for another pic being taken from in front of his bed. The second doesn't look too thrilled.

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas is my right hand back. Or my legs back.

God Bless them all.

forced to watch this asshole capitalize on your or your child's life-shattering injury? I would be SO beyond angry...

Sorry, but these Mothers are standing there smiling and/or hugging the bastard who is responsible for ruining their son's life! If the patients themselves are forbidden to tell Bush to go to hell because they have to play the good soldiers, their Mothers aren't!!!!

For God's sake, in the first picture the fiancee has a big effing grin on her face. Is she brain dead? Is she sticking around for the rest of their lives?

I AM OUT OF PATIENCE WITH THESE MILITARY FAMILIES!!! This monster wouldn't get near my son's bedside.

If Bush did this to them I would not be smiling!! :grr:
I'm sure they questioned the mother's loyalty before the visit. We know that he won't talk to mothers who oppose his policies.

"With his mother, Carol Bullene, looking on, President George W. Bush..."

Both those guys look like they want to spit in his face.

Yes, they do. Then why the hell is Bush there? The family could have requested (read demanded) that the criminal not come within 100 feet of their family. Get a court order if necessary. To make it worse the families are smiling and hugging him.

Why are people so damn scared to death to stand up to this madman? If one family would do it, another might and so forth. As I said, my patience has run out. Sometime you get what you ask for.
