Eh. Like you hens, those hens only cared because it was something to gab about. It didn't sway any votes and it's something no one remembers.
It's Walz.
- Thread starter dbmhoosier
- Start date
Other than the timing of his exit from the Guard being ambiguously suspect - I don’t think his military service should be under scrutiny.The issue was brought up during his 2022 re-election by his GOP opponent who never served...It doesn't seem to have resonated with anyone outside MAGA world...
GOP opponent who never served criticizes Gov. Tim Walz's exit from National Guard
Supporters say the governor was a great soldier who was entitled to leave when he chose.www.startribune.com
Heck it was even brought up during his first Congressional race vs an incumbent in a basically Red ditrict. He never claimed he served in combat,although he was deployed to the far reaches, was named Minnesota's Citizen soldier of the year in 1989, and was diagnosed with tinnitus by the VA. He was also the ranking member of the House Veterans Affairs Committee.
'Citizen soldier' Walz honed leadership in uniform
Democrat Tim Walz's 24-year military career is a central part of his background and style as he runs for Minnesota governor.www.mprnews.org
Maybe this "horrifying" accusation will stick outside of MAGA world, but I don't think so. None of these claims are new,he's been in office for nearly 2 decades and won every race he's had.All dredging up this attack is going to do is remind independents who don't like Trump about Trump's bonespurs.
I'm not sure this is a case that JD Vance, as someone who served 4 yrs as a combat correspondent and left the Corps as a corporal can successfully prosecute vs a 24 yr veteran, who enlisted at the age of 17, and attained the rank of CSM. What has JD ever done for vets, or what legislative accomplishments has he even had,for that matter?
"Walz' leadership on behalf of his fellow veterans when he was in the U.S. House of Representatives is notable at a time when our all-volunteer force continues to struggle to recruit," Allison Jaslow, CEO of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, said in a statement praising the choice of a veteran to be vice presidential nominee. "How we care for our veterans is as important to our national security as how we care for our troops, and Walz has a record to prove that he understands that imperative."
Tim Walz, Who Spent Decades as an Enlisted Soldier, Brings Years of Work on Vets Issues to Dem Ticket
Tim Walz enlisted in the Army National Guard in Nebraska in 1981 and retired honorably in 2005 as the top enlisted soldier for 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery Regiment, in the Minnesota National Guard.www.military.com
I don't think they did. It certainly wasn't a major media topic, so I don't see how a lack of coverage of Emhoff's affair is hypocritical.
Had to have been one of them.
One of the places we got tossed from...ended up running into the guys at the next bar, laughed our asses off and boozed with them...then they get into it with another crew.
Was like the "SEGA hockey after parking lot fight scene in Swingers" combined with the "You're going!" scene from Good Will Hunting. Just got my burger, already ended up scuffling on the floor at some beer joint an hour earlier, and now "we're going" again. ****! 😄
So Walz like Hitler encouraged neighbors to snitch on neighbors during Covid? Worse than weird.
Man there’s nothing like the smell of rubber as your cities are burning. Walz’s wife kept her windows open so she could smell it. Weird.
Yea, I agree re: his stance on Israel. It's a bit disappointing that he felt the need to pander and apologize for past statements and promote the failed notion of a two state solution, as if that has any possibility these days.

Do you think Waltz was picked so in comparison Harris doesn't look as wacky?
And didn't Kamala's dad teach Marxist Economy? WTF in the ever loving hell is a going on around here.
He was picked because he’s no threat to Kamala’s limelight and he’s not Jewish.
DeSantas has a suggested slogan for these left wing nuts. MABA (Make American Burn Again).

I'm not going to try and convince you to support his positions (obviously), but after watching him in various platforms tonight, I think you can make the case he is the most dynamic of the group (Harris, Trump, Vance). He talks like the everyday man and is easy to relate to.
Just my opinion.
I haven't been to the falls in a month or two, but they've been gushing hard this year. I'm right near the creek that runs into the falls and it's high water again!
He seems like an normal guy in many respects. I thought Dayton did a better job, but there's been a lot of shit the past four years.
Accuracy is important. If I screw it up, I want to know. Thanks for pushing back—and doing so in a polite way.
See, we can all get along!
The most important indictment of Emhoff is he married a moron. I can’t believe she won’t talk to the media at all.
One persons folksy is another person’s dufus.
Future sex change patients. He's secretly adding up the kickbacks.
Planet Claire has pink air, all the trees are red, no one ever dies there, no one has a head.
What in the hell? Is someone dropping freaking gas drug bombs out of the sky that only affect the left? Someone tell me for the love of God how did we arrive here at this point in this country?
I think you might be right about Walz.
While working today I had Vance’s Rally on the TV. I actually stopped and listened. He was pretty good. Especially the impromptu questions he fielded after the speech.
Ooooohhhh a little triggered are we. The guy is a POS and so is Harris. The dem party is killing this country 10 ways to Sunday and it's not funny anymore! Everything you touch turns to crap. You take kids from their parents for a sex change? Give criminals every chance they deserve? WTH is wrong with you.
It goes to character...
Here's how a soldier who was directly affected by Walz bugging out feels about it...
Exclusive | Tim Walz a ‘coward’ and ‘traitor’ for retiring from military before Iraq, says Guardsman who replaced VP pick
“When your country calls, you are supposed to run into battle — not the other way,” Thomas Behrends told The Post of Tim Walz. “He ran away.”

And here's the original article that was posted:
Tim Walz left National Guard battalion ‘hanging,’ ‘slithered out the door’ before Iraq deployment: vets
Veterans have accused Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz of “embellishing” his military career and abandoning his National Guard battalion, highlighting that the now-vice presidential pick for the Democrats n…

Finally here's Megan Kelly (and guests) elaborating a bit on the topic:

Why would a former or current HS "coach" purposely pass a law that protects pedophiles from scrutiny?
This could make for a unique (possibly even a collectible 😉), campaign poster...
The Donald, dressed in Batman's Raven Kevlar holding an American Flag in his Right hand (with it unfurling in the breeze behind him (with rivulets of blood streaming down the Right side of his face from his wounded ear and JD Vance at his side in streamlined MARPAT Kevlar ; looking over and slightly down at the Cackling Commie Kamala who's wearing brick red tights and her sidekick (who does bear a great deal of similarity to the Joker), China Tim... also wearing a brick red ensemble with a Communist Chinese flag emblazoned across the chest ; with a foreground of a drug addict blocked San Francisco sidewalk and a background of a blazing Minneapolis behind them...
Ok you graphic artists out there, get to work.

//To fully understand this joke you need to watch her introduce him and pause the screen when they smile and laugh simultaneously... Never before have I seen two actual living people give off a more perfect aura of future Batman villains...//

He didn't even do well with small town people in his own state. I get the impression that many of you actually believe that small town and blue collar folks are rubes thing. They aren't dumb. They know that not everyone showing up at your door and with an "Aww shucks" attitude and a small town affectation is one of their guys.
Steve Kornacki: Tim Walz's election results don't show a clear blue-collar boost
The coalition Walz assembled to win his last race in Minnesota looked very similar to what's become the typical post-Obama national Democratic coalition.
www.google.com
The people in Minnesota from those groups didn't buy into that BS. They know that he is leftist politics more at home in Portland wrapped up in a bow that the left thinks will appear pretty to them. It did not work on Minnesotans outside of the typical Democrat coalition, why are we to believe it is going to work on anyone else?

All that is possible but those types of voters in Minnesota didn't buy his bullshit in the last election. He won because Minnesota has more voters like you.
Had a local (Lib) mom describe him to me as I was driving a crew home from Kings Island yesterday morning (I hadn't researched anything yet).He didn't even do well with small town people in his own state.

Was told:
- Governor of Missouri, a typically red state, voted in because he's "from the country"
- Army Vet with many Mid East combat missions. Decorated.
- NRA loves him. Gun owner.
- Won a HS football championship as a HC
- Former HS teacher
- Campaign slogan was going to be "From the window, to the Walz". 😄
