Surprise! The Legion of GOP Chickenhawks. Once Again Showing How GOP traitors Can Talk The Talk But Can't Walk The Walk (Re: Liberal DemocRAT Socialists are wimps & cowards!!!!) |
http://www.nhgazette.com/cgi-bin/NHGstore.cgi?user_action=list&category=%20NEWS%3B%20Chickenhawks%3BPoliticans%20Platoon
Name: Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD)
Born: June 3, 1926
Employer: The U.S. Taxpayer
Conflict Avoided: WWII
Notes: Nominated as a chickenhawk by a constituent, Roscoe Bartlett
brings to his job on the House Armed Services committee a mind that’s
unbiased and unprejudiced — though he had turned 18 by D-Day, when
there was still plenty of opportunity to become a bona fide member of
the Greatest Generation©, Roscoe let the war go by without putting on
a uniform. We don’t know why; perhaps you could ask him.
Name: Rep. Charlie Bass (R-NH)
Born: January 8, 1952
Employer: The U.S. Taxpayer
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: When your old man's U.S. Representative Perkins Bass (2nd
District, NH, 1955-1962), and your grandfather's Governor Robert T.
Bass (NH, 1911-1913), chances are slim you'll ever get called "Private
Bass," even if you are born in 1952.
Name: Rep. Roy Blunt (R-MO)
Born: January 10, 1950
Employer: The U.S. Taxpayer
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: The Congressman from Missouri and House Majority Whip who’s so
concerned about defending America that offered an amendment to the law
creating the Homeland Security department that would have made it
tougher to sell cigarettes over the ‘Net. It wouldn’t have helped the
whole country, but the part of it that belongs to Phillip Morris would
have benefited. Born just about the right time for Vietnam, somehow
Blunt was at Southwest Baptist University when he could have been
keeping the ‘Cong out of Chillicothe, MO.
Name: Gov. Jeb Bush (R-FL)
Born: 1953
Employer: Florida Taxpayers
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: When Jeb was younger he managed to avoid fighting for democracy
in Vietnam. When his older brother's future job was on the line,
though, he had no trouble fighting democracy.
Name: Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA)
Born: 1943
Employer: The U.S. Taxpayer
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: There are chickenhawks, and then there are chickenhawks. Saxby
Chambliss is a chickenhawk supreme. He got himself elected to the
Senate by casting aspersions on the patriotism of the incumbent,
Democrat Max Cleland. Cleland lost three limbs serving his country in
Vietnam. Saxby Chambliss was unable to serve because of his bad knees,
but somehow is able to totter along as a recreational runner.
Name: Rep. Tom "The Exterminator" DeLay (R-TX)
Born: April 8, 1947
Employer: The U.S. Taxpayer
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: One of our most-nominated chickenhawks, Mr. DeLay has said he
wanted to serve in Vietnam, but was unable to since all the positions
had been taken by blacks and hispanics. We suspect there might be
someone in Iraq today who would be willing to trade places with Mr.
DeLay ...
Name: Rep. Charles Gwynne Douglas, III (R-NH)
Born: Dec. 2, 1942
Employer: Was U.S. Taxpayer
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: Not so notable for bellicosity, but he makes up for it with
fervid Republican zeal. Graduated from UNH in 1965, when the draft was
pretty strong, but went straight to BU Law. Got out of there in 1968,
when it was even stronger. No problem - Ol’ Chuck was “admitted to the
bar in 1968 and commenced practice in Manchester, N.H., 1970-1974,”
according to an unimpeachable source. How’s he manage to avoid
Vietnam? According to that same source, http://bioguide.congress.gov,
the future Congressman (NH, 2nd District, 1989-1991) was a “[C]olonel,
New Hampshire Army National Guard, 1968 to present.”
Name: Rep. Newton Leroy "Newt" Gingrich (R-GA)
Born: June 17, 1943
Employer: Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: A virtuoso in the art of hypocrisy, the former Speaker of the
House now claims the Vietnam War was a splendid idea, but at the time
he opposed going himself. Newtie also speaks highly of morality, but
as a serial adulterer he doesn’t want to get too close to it himself.
Name: Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH)
Born: February 14, 1947
Employer: The U.S. Taxpayeer
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: Another member of New Hampshire’s hereditary political
aristocracy (see also: Charlie Bass and John Sununu) Judd’s daddy was
Governor of New Hampshire from 1953 to 1955. Young Judd graduated from
Columbia in ‘69 and apparently went straight to BU Law until the coast
was clear. For good measure, he got written up for bad knees. They
weren’t so bad he couldn’t spend half his term as Governor on the ski
slopes.
Name: Rep. Dennis Hastert (R-IL)
Born: January 2, 1942
Employer: The U.S. Taxpayer
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: Dennis wasn't able to serve in the Army in Vietnam because his
knees weren't up to it. He did OK as a wrestler in college, though.
Name: Sen. Chester Trent Lott (R-MS)
Born: October 9, 1941
Employer: The U.S. Taxpayer
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: We're not sure why Trent didn't serve. Maybe he didn't think
he'd look good in Army green. He was a cheerleader in college instead.
Wonder how he looked in a cheerleader's uniform?
Name: Sen. Don Nickles (R-OK)
Born: December 6, 1948
Employer: The U.S. Taxpayer
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: Another National Guard-type Republican. It must be noted that
service in the Guard these days is vastly different from what it was
in the Vietnam era. When Don went in in 1970, it was a safe slot.
Thanks to guys like Don, that's no longer true.
Name: Sen. J. Danforth "Dan" Quayle (R-IN)
Born: February 4, 1947
Employer: "investment firm in Phoenix" - Dan Quayle Museum
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: The Indiana National Guard was a nice safe place for young Dan
during the Vietnam era. Good thing he was from "a good family" - too
good to waste their boy in a war.
Name: Gov. Marc Racicot (R-MT)
Born: July 24, 1948
Employer: The Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: Marc got a BA in 1970, and immediately took the grad school
route. Once the war was safely over he went in the service as an Army
lawyer. After his gig as governor was up, he got the top spot at the
RNC, likely as a reward for helping W. grab Florida.
Name: Gov. Meldrim "Mel" Thomson (R-Orford)
Born: March 8, 1929
Employer: His Daddy's Publishing Co, Inc.
Conflict Avoided: Korea
Notes: Meldrim Thomson, New Hampshire’s quintessential Goofy Governor,
once sought to arm the state’s National Guard with nuclear weapons.
Some thought he wanted nukes to blast the Clamshell Alliance out of
the way, so his pals at PSNH could build the Seabrook nuclear power
plant. You might think that such a notoriously bellicose individual,
twenty-one years old when the Reds crossed the line in Korea, might
have managed to get into the fight - but you would be wrong.
