Has anyone else ever heard of this group? I just saw a Votevet spokesperson (a soldier who was in Iraq) make a Republican analyst just sound silly as she tried to explain that there is still a chance Bin Laden in in Iraq and basically defends us staying in Iraq.
I've never heard of this group until today but after seeing that interview I joined right away. This group largely consists of veterans or family members of veterans and I think is an excellent organization after I researched their website. Here is a link in case you are interested in joining them as well:

Thanks for the info jormins. I will check that out. My husband is a Vietnam vet and has a lot of opinions (a whole lot) that really come from his experiences there. Some make sense, some don't but I wasn't there...he was.

I wonder if he was the same guy who was on Bill Maher's show the other week. I can't remember his name, but he really knew what he was talking about. I said we'd be amazed if we knew how many of the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan are supporting Obama.
I wish I'd have seen the show you're referring to! Someone said Bin Laden may be in Iraq? What idiots! This VoteVets.org is a great organization from what I've seen and heard. I totally respect what they have to say and it's not nearly all right wing nonsense as some would have us believe. The guy I saw sure isn't a conservative or a Bush supporter.

It was an interview on MSNBC in the middle of the day yesterday, a blonde woman. I hope she goes on tv more often, it shows how uneducated many educated people are about the war, Iraq and Bin Laden.
It was nice hearing from a soldier or former soldier about Iraq. We know its true as when we look at who the soldiers are giving their money too its Ron Paul first and then Barack Obama 2nd. Obviously the war isn't as popular amongst the troops as the Republicans think but they are still in denial about it.

I think I know which blond woman you mean. She gives all blonds a bad name, even really dumb ones! Having two nephews in the military who are on their way to Afghanistan as I write this, I know the military isn't as strongly Republican as some would lead us to believe.
