Political party Problems, FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH dept

WHY DID WE DO IT?

Many American men and women enlisted in the military the last 100 years, during all the past wars some little known and others which really took their toll on the American Fighting man. Think of the waste of men and women lost during WW1, WW2, Korea, Viet Nam, Desert Storm and our present Wars in the Middle East. Everyone who returned from those places deserves a Super thank you for helping keep our Republic a safe and secure Country. Most of all who returned were proud of their contribution, some carried bitter feelings of their service. I was serving from 1952 until 1972, I was only in combat in Korea but could have been to Nam, I was one of the lucky ones who did not get to have fun in the Sauna. We did not enlist for fun in most cases it was love of country.

When I retired I did not much care about Politics, and really didn’t follow too closely. I started paying attention when Regan Ran and lost, then again when Regan ran the second time and won. I saw him guide this country back to the reality which had left during past Administrations.

At this point I started to look at both sides, I noticed how organized the Democratic Party was and how they all pulled together as a group and were never backed down, no mater how hard the Republicans tried they could not stop them. The Republicans just did not have any sense of organization and most of the time lost. In 1994 the Republicans finally got it together and won both houses of Congress, They had all finally pulled together, and Won.

Now that they were in command they felt very good and wanted to get on with the Nations business. Even though they were in charge, they had been the minority for so long they did not know how to lead and kick the democrats BUTT, the let the Democrats run all over them as they had for 40 years. Next thing you know the Republicans started going every which way and not in the same direction.

Bingo, 1n 2007 after losing a little each election, the Democrats won the whole ball of wax, everything, lock stock and barrel. Then in 2008 they took the republicans to the cleaners and left them standing Naked in the rain. The Republicans never learned how to get it together for the party while the Democrats all worked in one direction and won.

I relate this action to the old story about the wagon, The republicans had everyone in the wagon, and no one pulling, while the Democrats had the candidates in the wagon and the rest were pulling.

We, the American Service men and women had to pull together in all of our conflicts to win, to lose was not an option. We served to maintain our freedom. It seems that the Republicans want the losing option! Just because they rolled a pair of sevens in 1994 didn't mean they wouldn’t throw craps in 2007 and 2008. To the Republicans I say hitch up your wagon and all of you start to pull together and stop pulling only for yourself. You cannot win if you roll over to the opposition, Get some Balls.

Good evening to all.
