"I'm not going back to Iraq," Army Sgt. Benjamin Miller, 24, told friends back home in Minnesota. And, indeed, he is not. Three days ago, he was buried, having committed suicide while home on leave. He had been scheduled to get out of the service in January but was "stop-lossed."

DLC? Does it even have any relevance anymore now that the most liberal member of the Senate is the nominee and the Clinton era is over?

12:28: What would you even do if dailykos and moveon went down?

12:30
I would go here...

"Last July, a much respected first sergeant had taken out his weapon while out on a mission and, after shouting, "F--- this!", killed himself right in front of his men".

12:40: Big f-ing deal - people commit suicide in all walks of life. Teen girls commit suicide because fake "myspace" boyfriends dissed them. What are you going to do, criticize myspace?

12:28/12:40 - this has what to do with DLC members from Florida? you just post the same crap in every forum...

Richard Kriseman, Janet Long, and Darryl Rouson!

… nuff said.

hey 12:40, that's what you mom was yelling on the street corner last night.

2:20
Why don't you go enlist in the Army...you sound like you are about 18 years old.

Put your body where your mouth is...on the firing line.

who paid for this?

THE DLC CONVENTION IS PAID FOR BY THE ATTENDEES, WITH PERSONAL MONEY.

Do they pay for it with their OWN money or CCE and 527 money they have strong-armed out of folks?

DLC pays for part of electeds travel.

She's been in office for 8 years now and you still don't know how to spell ausley's name - loranne.

The Democratic Party is bought and paid for by Moveon.org's George Soros. He has made billions through speculation. Odd now that the Dems are in control of Congress food and oil prices have skyrocketed thanks to speculators.
