Oh, man. This is a real operation.
Today’s troll comment, from (alas! a flaw in the plan!) the same IP block as the last set:
I thought I’d chime in with a different perspective. I’m a military mom; my only son is currently on his second tour in Iraq. His first tour was quite an eye opener. Some of the things he wrote about in his letters horrified me, and when he came back home I begged him to pursue a new avenue so he wouldn’t get sent back.
But like many of the heroes serving there today, he told me his country needed him, and he would do all that is asked until they can ask no more. He will be voting this year through an absentee ballot, and he’s voting Obama for one simple reason: through his firsthand experience in Iraq, he knows Americans can’t afford another President who will wage unneeded wars. Many of his fellow soldiers feel the same. For them, their vote could be the difference between coming home to their families, or fighting for their lives in a country that does not want them nor need them.
I ask you to please reconsider. McCain has already aligned himself closely with the policies of the Bush administration, and he’s made it clear that he wants a lengthy US military commitment to Iraq. As tensions in the region rise, I fear that a McCain presidency would not only mean my son will be sent on a third and fourth tour to Iraq, but that we’ll also have a very real danger of falling into another unneeded conflict with Iran before his term is over.
Question for the group: why the hell can’t Axelrod hire better copywriters? Nobody talks like that on a blog. “But like many of the heroes serving there today…” Jesus, it sounds like a TV spot.
David, dude: up your game, man. This is pathetic.
