is a turncoat POS. I used to have some respect for the guy. No more. Not an ounce.

It wasn't the basis of the book, but some of the passages contain what a normal person would consider incest and pedophilia. Don't want to post them here. |
Power often corrupts. Webb basically put himself up for sale a while back. To see him toeing the party line (no matter how shameless that line is) shouldn't shock anyone. |
I always wondered why Oliver North has f'ing hated Jim Webb since their days at the Naval Academy. Maybe Webb's just always been a douchebag? |

Well JDC, you have finally woken up. I had no respect for the POS since before he was elected (I didn't vote for him), and whe nhe kept using the ad extolling what Regan said (in light of what Webb did a short time later) against the wishes of Nancy, he just went deeper in the hole. Then his whole book thing (closet fag), and the fact that he let his aide take the fall over the gun, adds up to a littel worm who is a disgrace to the Marine Corps, and to Virginia. And now this? I am not one bit surprised. |
He's a dem. He has no shame. |
Sounds like he had a good measure of the man right off the bat (good) and the self control not to do it (even better). Judgement and self control -- that puts him two up on POTUS already. ETA: I think that a lot of folks could do with a closer examination of his record during the Reagan Administration. Webb hasn't changed at all, for better or for worse. He still strikes me as far more conservative than Bush. He is still more liberal than I like, but far more conservative than Bush. |
According to one of his books, before his USMC career ending wound, he firmly believed he would one day be Commandant-maybe he didn't have the good sense to keep this to himself. |
BDE boxing championships. Webb won, North was second. That and webb's always been a career advancing douche bag. |
You have it backwards. North won. Webb thinks he should have won. |

Yeah, not only did I vote for him, but I represented his position on the Iraq War in a college debate for the college-democrats, despite the fact I was a college-republican at the time. In fact, I was even stuck in traffic with him for a few hours north of Richmond. I highly regret my support for him.

Well, he has lost any chance of a vote from me. He'll probably get back in because of all of the northern transplants in NoVa though. Here is an excerpt from his reply to my e-mail contact from the bailout bill - ... For many years, I have said that the current Administration has failed to exercise appropriate oversight of the nation's banking and corporate sectors, and has promoted policies that reward Wall Street at the expense of Main Street. The Administration's actions are largely responsible for our current economic crisis, which resulted in President Bush's September 2008 proposal to help restore soundness to U.S. credit markets." ... First of all, he hasn't been on the hill for that many years. Clearly he is towing the party line and covering for Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and the others that blocked requests for reform in return for cold, hard cash. He also threw his staffer under the bus when he carried Webb's bag into the Capitol Bldg with a loaded firearm in it. The staffer was arrested and for days Webb's response was 'what gun? any gun in that bag wasn't mine.' He may be a gun enthusiast, but it seems his rights are more equal than the rights of the commoners. |
Amen. |

I read his books when I was a kid. I was a fan. He was a good writer. I thought it was cool when he became Ronald Reagan's Secretary of the Navy. But when he quit like lil' bitch a couple of months later. I began to see a pattern of disturbing behavior. I won't even get into his love of the confederacy. Fuck him and fuck his buddy Obama. |
+1 Couldn't have said it better myself. 
|
Seems that his love of the Confederacy was little more than a show given his current occupation and political stance. |

Jeez louise..........The radio stations have been running that POS commercial around here for a week now. Even heard a couple of people talking about it at the gunshow today. Most seem to think the "Messiah" put this out at the last minute to try and pickup some of the "Fudds" who are on the fence around here. IMHO he can take his "Sportsman For Osama" BS and play it somewhere else....... |
