    IVC: IRAQ VETERANS FOR CONGRESS

    KIERAN LALOR FOR CONGRESS 19TH CD NY

    The IVC, Iraq Veterans for Congress, http://iraqvetsforcongress.com/, is an organization formed in 2008 for the express purpose of giving a voice to those who served their country on the battlefield and who now wish to serve it in our government.

    This “squad sized” detail is not composed of the usual egocentric politician-types. Rather, it is peopled by seasoned patriots who have not only served but who have seen the enemy and, contrary to Pogo, who know the enemy isn’t us.

    According to IVC founder, Kieran Lalor, “IVC is more than a group of Republican candidates who served in Iraq, and we are here for something other than our respective Congressional races. We want to be a voice for thousands of U.S. military veterans, their families, and hardworking patriotic Americans who are tired of seeing veterans mistreated and their mission slandered. . . . I wanted America to have a reliable, unified voice from twelve [now seventeen] candidates who are uniquely positioned to offer a knowledgeable, credible rebuttal to the Democrats, the mainstream media, and the constant message of defeatism and mistreatment of our troops.”

    Military service in and of itself does not qualify anyone for elective office. What it does do is demand some attention from the American public as partial payment for that service and for the dangers and risks to which these patriots and their families were exposed on our behalf.

    If you wish, you may render that payment by visiting Lalor’s website, http://kml2008.com/home.htm, considering his positions, and perhaps contributing to his campaign and to other IVC candidates. Unfortunately, money is the prime mover in elections and his opponent is supported by many Hollywood celebs, MoveOn.org, and the power of incumbency.

    Isn’t it time America paid its debt to these summer and winter soldiers?

    Most americans approve? Most americans are idiots! They voted him into office, and the ones that don’t approve, but also vote him in, are now whining about it. He’s screwing these countries, and more importantly, he’s crewing the troops. Sweet talk them over there, then tell them “no your not going home yet! regardless your tour is over, we need you here boy, you ain’t seeing home for a while, don’t care what we promised, paper or no.”

    Bush has been to China ten times since the Hainan Island standoff. Not once, has he ever addressed the lack of a human rights policy in China. I fear that our debt to China is tied to our American plan to make them a wealthy nation.
