Boots

JIm Webb, a man who is seeing that country comes before Politics announced his candidacy for George Allen's senate seat today in the small southwest Virginia town of Gate City.

Democrat James Webb officially kicked off his campaign for the U.S. Senate in this conservative corner of Virginia on Tuesday, offering a strongly populist indictment of the Bush administration and pledging to seek an end to the war in Iraq and a "culture of corruption" in Washington.
...
Webb, 60, has never run for political office before and has a mixed background of support for both parties -- he voted for President Bush in 2000 and even endorsed Allen when he was elected to the Senate six years ago.

But Webb was an early opponent of the Iraq invasion, and his military credentials -- he's a decorated Marine Corps veteran of the Vietnam War - ...
...
He told his audience that his son, also a Marine, is schedule to be deployed to Iraq this summer.

"My objection to the war is not aimed at my country but at the administration that has chosen to wage this war, an administration that has muddied the truth, made mistake after mistake and refused to accept responsibility," he said.
...
Webb was wearing combat boots with his suit Tuesday, in contrast to the cowboy boots that Allen is known for. He said he is wearing them to show support for his son and others in the military and urged supporters to put on boots -- "any kind other than cowboy" -- and "join this journey."

George Allen, a faux cowboy like his Beloved Leader wearing Faux Cowboy boots. Jim Webb, wearing the combat boots he earned in the jungles of Southeast Asia, trying his damndest to keep his Marines alive, as he's doing now by running for the Senate.

If Webb wins the seat, he will go to Congress as the only Senator with a son serving in Mess O'Potamia.

I-'ave-marched-six-weeks in 'Ell an' certify
It-is-not-fire-devils, dark, or anything,
But boots-boots-boots-boots-movin' up an' down again,
An' there's no discharge in the war!
Go Jim Webb, a man who knows his Boots.

I'll support a DEVILDOG, EX-SECNAV over a faux cowboy anytime. I heard faux cowboy singing the praises of rush limbaugh, laura ingram, and shanity on t.v. today. What a joke.
Kick his sycophantic faux cowboy ass Mr. WEBB. SEMPER FI!

Jo- He needs to win the primary first. Let's not forget, that he is running against Harris Miller for a chance to beat Allen. Miller is wealthy and well known. A political insider. Miller is using race, and in a Democratic primary in VA, he can win with this tactic.

"This isn't the first "dirty trick" Harris Miller has employed against his opponents. Miller is slick at PR coming from the field and has plenty of money to fund lots of hired operatives doing "oppo". As a member of the community opposing his positions when he lead the ITAA and WITSA, we are used to his attacks. Webb supporters, on the other hand, are trying to take the high road, to avoid attacking Miller and upsetting "fellow" party members. However, their strategy hasn't stopped the dirty tricks."

Hoo AH!

It isn't too late and there are more men and women who know what it like to actually be down in the mud who should be leading. Not these chickenshit pansy draft-dodging, deserting "I wanna be a warrior, mama", who keep lying their way into office.

One more time. Webb is not a shoe in. Miller is using race to win the primary. You can google it and find dozens of articles. Really sad. We need to start hitting back hard, NOW. We cannot let these attacks go unanswered. You all want to stay "above board" and lose another fighting dem like we lost Hackett,your choice. All bloggers who support Webb should critisize Miller. Would appreciate a post on this, Jo.

PC - yeah, I need to follow up with this. I'll get something together. You want to write a "guest post"?

Jim Webb has a really good site. PC, I hope you will take up Jo's offer and do a guest post on the Webb/Miller race, especially important for the VA primary.
