13 Popaditch is running for the area south and east of San Diego, where I live, against the Tijuana border.  Normally a safe dem area because of the heavy farm vote, but who knows this year.  Filner finally agreed to debate Popaditch this Thursday, Oct 21.  Unfortunately, no "hand to hand combat" or "testicle weigh off" competitions have been announced.

It just goes to show you:  The Left Wing will infiltrate anywhere.

From the school committee to the CIA, the Left infiltrates and takes over and then destroys.

16 3 Good on the VFW.

Eh, he probably just realized they just sent their cash cow to the butcher, meaning no more calves and no more milk.  And so he's trying to get it back before they kill it.  I'm betting that this isn't the first year that the VFW has endorsed non-veteran Democrats over veteran Republicans.  But everyone is looking and he's playing cleanup to save the organization.

17 ...and yet, the cards are still burned, folded, spindled, and mutilated.

Good job, VFW. 

I've always been a Legion guy myself.

18 Damn. I was really counting on their endorsement in 2014.

19 Arrogance never sleeps.

20 I'd like to know how the VFW let the PAC get infiltrated and run by fucking leftards in the first place. Those responsible should be given the bum's rush out of the door. I have spent many, many evenings with my late father at the local VFW. Drinking low priced beer and shooting pool with the other old warriors. Those were good times. Too bad leftards infected and ruined what had been a wonderful organization.

No wonder Liza Porkfortsky isn't losing graciously.  I'm sure there's a very large lump of blubber waiting for her at the end of that rainbow.

Can I still get 1.00 Yeung Lings at the VFW??

 

24 All enemies bow down and worship the Aqua Buddha, and He hate's leftist PACs!

25 Puddin'.

26 Popaditch is running against Bob Filner; Filner was a slimy scumbag back when he was on the San Diego City Council.

My father, a long-time Donk, is voting for Popaditch.  All you morons in the CA-51 should vote for him too.  Be sure and vote like a Democrat (early and often).

27 My last visit to the VFW is seared, seared into my memory....

28 If only all unrepresentative rogue political bodies were so easily dealt with.

29 Does anyone know how he's polling? Is the GOP even helping this Devil Dog?

To add, it's in my home town 2 hr. east of San Diego.  The local paper is very left wing and the debate might not get much play time in the San Diego paper.

Also the east end of this district is Imperial County, which has the highest unemployment rate in the country.  The field workers have become smarter; instead of following the crops around the state they pull unemployment checks till the season returns.

31 Please don't call me ma'am. I've worked so hard to be VFW endorsed. Instead, call them suckers.

32 Were the board members of the PAC also veterans?

33 32 Were the board members of the PAC also veterans?

Yes.  They were all VFW members, appointed by the CiC of the VFW.

Question for the regulars here at AoS:

Let's say there was a primary situation where you have two Republicans running for the nomination in a congressional race.  One is very conservative right down the line, knows his business, etc. etc. but is not a veteran.  The other is a veteran who is not as conservative.  The district itself is a conservative leaning district where either one would be pretty sure to go on and win the general, so there's no real question of "electability."

Which would you support?

35 34:  Go with the con.  Veteran is a good plus, but no guarantee of quality, sadly; go with what they show.

36 Which would you support?

The most Conservative, vet or not.

37 Which would you support?

The conservative.  Not that it matters, as the VFW is in hot water for backing non-vet, non-conservative Dems.

38

It was a buyoff, pure and simple. A "certain class" of veterans are for sale, cheap. They were a major factor in Germany and Russia in 1917, and we're not immune.

Now to be even with the board, VFW ought to PAC some cash to all the wronged opponent candidates. Then they'd earn some serious respect.

I had heard Popaditch was a good guy, but I hadn't seen him before this. That "Hathaway shirt" he's wearing just earned him 50 bucks from my personal PAC. I'm a longtime fan of Hathaway shirt guys. Kids, look it up.

Also, a Marine put an AFA clip in his ad...now there is a man who plays well with others.

39 Hmmm, wonder when people will crack down on us for supporting Planned Parenthood?

40

The VFW needs to get out and tell the media why they dissolved their PAC: why the canidates endorsed were not worthy of endorsement...then I might respect them again (although I'll always go to the local hall for cheap beer and excellent conversation).

This was bullshit.

41 Our camber of commerce did the same thing after their PAC started endorsing Republicans, which the big banks didn't like.

42 Which would you support?
The conservative non-vet.  Problem was, the VFW PAC endorsed candidates who were neither conservative nor veterans, when there were candidates available for endorsement who would have filled the bill quite nicely.  I expect this kind of thing from industry PACs; from a group of war veterans, not so much.

43 One is very conservative right down the line, knows his business, etc. etc. but is not a veteran.  The other is a veteran who is not as conservative.

The more conservative of the two. 

44 Support the vet!!

45 I'm not sure how close this race is (it's a Democratic district) but this year just about no Democrat is safe

Ahem.

46

I will not support a Vet, just because they are a Vet... I knew WAY too many idiots during my Navy Carreer...

Case in point, John Kerry... (did not know him, just using him as an example that Military life does not make you smart)...

However, if the two candidates were about equal??? Then their Service would Tip the Scale for me.

47 Nick is supposed to be on Hugh Hewitt's show today... starts at 3pm PST.

48 Go with the conservative.   Murtha, yeah I know he was a D, was a Marine Vet and wasn't worth the powder to blow his ass away.  He was a traiterous son of a bitch.  Go with the one who supports the constitution.

49 Fucking Barbara Boxer is still touting the endorsement of the VFW. They need to issue a press release rescinding all of these controversial endorsements post haste.

This whole thing really gave me a case of the ass. 

If it was the intention of the douche bags on the VFW PAC to drive a spike through the heart of the VFW, congratulations; mission accomplished.

And the stupid geezers running the VFW didn't do a damn thing about it until veterans and veteran blogs started making a big deal about it.

This organization was having a hard enough time recruiting from the returning vets of our nation's wars without this idiocy.  Now they can kiss my ass.  I will actively discourage my fellow vets from joining or in any way supporting this group.

52 Well, you have to remember what VFW stands for...Reguardless of one's political afilliation,  endorsing a non vet who is in a political party that traditionally has a large piece of the pie who is anti-military, does seem a little strange.  Follow the money trail....political endorsements are usually open for the highest bidding.  I would like to think the VFW would be supporting a veteran over lining it's pockets,  but that is obviously not the case. When the VFW sends me their membership dues,  I have the freedom of throwing it in the trash.  That's exactly what I am going to do!

Hell, I made my mind up the minute I found out he was running. I've convinced my mom and dad (a retired Jarhead himself) to vote for him- not difficult, since we all know what a sleazy cumbucket Filner is- and I've talked to a few of my neighbors about Popaditch.

54 Greetings: Can Popaditch speak pirate ???

55 THANK YOU for finally putting Gunny Popaditch on the blog.  Even if the post wasn't specifically about him.  He's my fave.  We need him down there on the border.  And his opponent, the incumbent, is a horrendous crapweasel.  Show Nick the money, Americans!

56

The American Moshe Dyan...??

An American Congress with a plurality of Veterans...??... !! Cool! Senate cloakroom replaced with a dueling chamber..!! I wantz haz some of dat.

57

The candidates the PAC endorsed in WA, that I disapproved of, were Norm Dicks, Rick Larsen, Patty Murray and, wait for it...  "Baghdad Jim" McDermott.  No way, no how, should those people be endorsed by a veteran's PAC.  The email I received in response to my, ugh, intemperate, emails to State and National lead me to believe that they felt betrayed by the PAC as well.  I do not want to leave the VFW, and I hope that it can be salvaged.  Unfortunately, as the baby boomers gain control, things seem to always go downhill.  In my opinion.

58 Good job
