and many others, past & present, including my own brother, now deceased, who was a Vietnam vet.

it's no coincidence that most of the returning Iraq vets who are running for Congress are running as Democrats.

I disagree with the above list being liberals. A lot of the founders were small government people. Read some Thomas Jefferson sometime, he was definitely not a liberal. Read the Constitution and the limits it puts on the Federal government. The founders feared a Federal government that was too powerful.

I fought in Iraq in the Army, and I can tell you first hand there are not many libs in the military. I am a registered independent, and I don't trust either party. That said, the dems are taking us down a path right now that does not have a good ending. I think a viable third party would be great for the country. Will it ever happen? I don't know...
