Bashing Veterans And Being A Hypocrite Takes Real Talent

I have to hand it to Rep. Randy Kuhl (R-N.Y.) on his performance the other night while talking about his challenger last year and for 2008, retired Navy man Eric Massa. Kuhl had some pretty nasty things to say about Massa, especially when the nastiest thing in the 29th district of New York is Kuhl, his ridiculous behaviors and his positions.

From The Daily Gotham:

What is it with republicans and actual veterans? They cut their healthcare, let things like Walter Reed happen, start illegal wars, and when push comes to shove, point to yellow-ribbon bumper stickers to cover up their systematic abuse of America's military and the men and women in uniform.

From the 29th District comes another such tale of woe. It starts, predictably enough, with potshots taken by draft-dodger, Certified Wingnut™ and incumbent republican Congressman Randy Kuhl against Democratic challenger Eric Massa, a retired Navy Vet. In this specific case, Kuhl broke ground with an interesting description of military retirees.

To Kuhl, these aren't retired military personnel - they just don't have a job. This from a professional politician who has served in elected office for almost three decades.


Kuhl is certainly one to talk. While Massa was literally fighting for his country, Kuhl was voting for his own interests while using the troops as props. Now that one of those in uniform is running against him to take away the opportunity to abuse his power, he'll do and say anything to disparage Eric Massa. Time for this scumbag to get a real job and not in Congress.
