Of all the callous, low-down, opportunistic, stupid things that politicians have ever done I think this one takes the cake. I just saw this in Virginia.
Sending a hand written note to the mother of a Marine killed in action is a reason to vote for someone?
I cannot find words to describe how shallow this is. It's just beyond anything I can imagine. She suffers the loss, he writes a note, she gives him her son's dog-tags, and he keeps them with him all the time. Nothing about what he would do to avoid getting Marine's killed in the first place, nothing about what his votes would be regarding veteran's benefits. We're supposed to believe that this tripe indicates that he is a strong supporter of the military??
What am I missing?
