Responding to the Republican victory in Massachusetts, Senator Jim Webb, Democrat of Virginia, is calling on Senate leaders to suspend any votes on the Democrats’ health care legislation until the winner in the special Senate election, Scott Brown, is sworn into office. In a statement, Mr. Webb, who voted for the health care bill in December, congratulated Mr. Brown on his victory and said he looked forward to working with him. But he also said Democrats must take note of the wider implications of the election results. “In many ways the campaign in Massachusetts became a referendum not only on health care reform but also on the openness and integrity of our government process,” Mr. Webb said. “It is vital that we restore the respect of the American people in our system of government and in our leaders. To that end, I believe it would only be fair and prudent that we suspend further votes on health care legislation until Senator-elect Brown is seated.” Top Democrats have already signaled that they do not want to rush the health care legislation through the Senate before Mr. Brown can be sworn in. Instead, they are eying a backup plan to ask House Democrats to adopt the Senate health care bill as-is, which would send it directly to President Obama for his signature. But the quick reaction by Mr. Webb, a centrist, is early evidence that Democratic leaders could find themselves struggling to hold together support for the health care measure. Backing of the bill was always tenuous, and party leaders are bracing for the possibility that Democrats who previously supported the bill may turn against it.

Is he still writing about putting boys penises in his mouth? What a sick fag.
That pedophile fag is just trying to cover his ass in Virginia. One moonbat already went down in flames in an election there.
Chuckles...do you ****think**** that anything YOU would say would be taken seriously. He wrote about what he observed. Lynn Cheney writes lesbian porn. Guess that makes The Big Dick's wife a lesbian porno actress using your logic.

Viet Nam was over 35 years ago. And some war hero anyway, he's a commie over there shooting at commies. That doesn't make him a hero, it makes him a hypocrite. To tell you the truth, 'Nam vets aren't represented well in politics. I'm sure there are some good ones, but not in 'big name politician' category. John Murtha, Duke Cunningham, Juan McCain, John Kerry, Jim Webb, every one either a thief, liar, &/or a Big Government statist. I believe Charlie Rangel was a Korean War combat vet, I suppose he makes you bust out in pride on July 4th too.
If his father isn't who he is he wins the MoH...

I'm sorry...but when I see anyone in uniform and before I go to thank them I don't ask them where they stand on TARP. I thank them and move on.

'Sup with this stuff HQ? "Some" war hero? Webb is a dimTARD....it does not diminish the fact he was a brave N/C recipient .....a man of valor for what he did do. Why piss on that? Piss on his regressive politics but prolly not a good concept to piss on his bravery IMHO. I do though agree that war mentioning Webb's past valor in service is pretty hilarious in it's "grasping" for validity.
Death to everybody who does not get outta my way.

'Sup w/ it is war saying Rim Webb having a stellar record in 'Nam makes it OK for him to be a commie stooge for Bill Ayer's homeboy Barry here, that's 'sup w/ it. Webb is a phony, he goes any way that suits. He was a Republican then, he's a Democrat now. He was a Marine in 'Nam then, he's Charlie in The States now. That's lower than Jane Fonda imho. Hanoi Jane was a commie then and Hanoi Jane's a commie now, at least she's consistent and honest about who she is.
Death to everybody who does not get outta my way.
Say WHAT? Tell me,Boteye,were YOU a infantry USMC platoon leader in VN?

These partisan hacks have any idea what it meant to be a USMC infantry platoon leader in VN. To them,courage is saying "Me,too!" anytime anybody criticizes someone from another party,and they even do most of that behind anonymous screen names on the internet. Having said that,he DID punk out when he had his assistant take the rap for smuggling a handgun into the US Senate.

BTW,the Navy Cross is a industrial-strength hero button. The USMC takes Navy Crosses VERY seriously,and they don't just hand them out to anybody. It is the equivalent of the Army's Distinguished Service Cross,and people generally get them after being put in for and turned down on a award of the Medal of Honor.

He never wrote about that and you are a liar if you are claiming that he did.

Benedict Arnold was a hero before he was traitor, just like Rim Webb.

She stood back up, her face smiling proudly and her round breasts glistening from a spotlight in the dim bar, and left the banana on the bar, cut in four equal sections by the muscles of her vagina."

They faced inward, their arms entwined. It looked like they were masturbating each other. It didn't surprise him. ... It was common to see men holding hands, embracing, playing with each other. Some of them [the guards] had wanted him. He could tell in those evanescent moments between his bao cao bow, the obligatory deference when a guard entered his cell, and the first word or blow that followed it... Quick, grinding voices, turgid with repressed passion. An exploratory reaching of the hand near his groin..." Ø Doubleday & Co., Garden City, NY, 1983 (hardcover); page 396. Ø Bluejacket Books, 2001 (Trade paperback edition), page 396 Ø Page numbers are the same in the Naval Institute Press (paperback) edition, 1983.

She had hinted to Lenahan that she simply could not contain herself. Doctors tending to patients, she explained, aroused her. Morphine Mary (again Lenahan could not remember her exact name) was a thin, nervous drill sergeant type, a disciplinarian who did not allow her patients even to complain. Lenahan was convinced that Morphine Mary did not even sleep with her husband. She wasn't bad looking, he mused again, staring at her thin frame.

Big difference between Jimmy Webb in the 60's, and Jimmy Webb the political creature. Reagan detailed it in his diaries, saying everybody was pretty happy Webb resigned after nine months. He's a coward today, as his abrupt about face 22 hours after Brown's victory demonstrates conclusively.
Hell war, your such a pussy you constructed a alternative identity on the internet, and hid behind it for 14 years and counting....let alone have the balls to serve in the military, like myself, sneaky, and Webb.
Actually most of us do understand what it takes to be a USMC Infantry Platoon Leader ANYWHERE, at ANY TIME. This isn't about his service in Nam, its about his being a political pussy SINCE THEN. Try to live in the here and now, eh?
Nothing about your service was like sneaky's or Webb's. Neither of them brag about it as much as you do. Neither of them wear it on their sleeve as much as you do. Magic served even though his insides were rotting while you sat on your ass sipping Crown Royale and posting bullshit on the internet all day. Yea...what honor you bring to veterans everywhere...what a fucking gleaming example you are. Revealing personal information on people simply because people are smarter than you - which you'd think you'd be used to by now - and telling lie after lie after lie after lie. And the fact that you would mis-represent what Red Ink wrote about Webb underscores what a liar you really are and what an absolute GOP partisan hack you are with absolutely no sense of honor whatsoever. Back on filter, boy.

Badeye's response about this observation in re Webb: "Nonsense. Medals issued for 'I was there' purposes don't indicate a thing about the man wearing them, and I say that as a Veteran." Deny you said it asshole.

In The Reagan Diaries, the former president wrote, "I don't think the Navy was sorry to see him go." Certainly doesn't seem like Reagan was very admiring of the pedophile.
Wow...what a SCATHING indictment of the man and his service. Certainly doesn't seem like Reagan was very admiring of the pedophile. Didn't know Reagan knew you...

One man who sat where you do now and graduated from the Naval Academy in 1968 is another member of our administration-Assistant Secretary of Defense James Webb, the most decorated member of his class. James' gallantry as a marine officer in Vietnam won him the Navy Cross and other decorations, including two Purple Hearts. James wrote several books about American service men and women. In his book, "A Sense of Honor," he describes the life that you have chosen. He wrote: "Servicemen are always in motion, in the air at more than the speed of sound, underwater at depths whales could only dream of, on the surface of the water cruising at 30 miles an hour through crashing seas with another ship almost touching theirs . . . replenishing their oil supplies. Or they are on the ground, in the dirt, testing and training weapons that may someday kill others but today may deal them that same irony. The smallest margin of error separates a live man from a dead man. And in war, of course, they are the first and usually the only ones to pay. The President and the Congress may suffer bad news stories. The military man suffers the deaths of his friends, early and often." End quote. I want each of you to know that this President understands and appreciates the job that you will be doing. Your lives are precious. You are putting yourselves in harm's way for America's sake, and I will do everything in my power to make certain the country gives you the tools and equipment you need to do your job and to come home safely -Ronald Wilson Reagan, 22nd May 1985, US Naval Academy Commencement Speech

1. You didnt' serve. Kiss my ass, Fraud. 2. Magic wasn't serving the military in Afghanistan you idiot. He was working for Blackwater. Kiss my ass, Fraud. 3. Reagan's quotes about Webb are in the book. You apparently haven't read it, hence the claiming I'm misrepresenting them. Kiss my ass, Fraud. 4. I didn't have to 'glean' information about anyone, Fraud. Site owners handed it to me unasked for, related to you, and you alone. Primarily because of the bullshit you posted about where you were on 9/11. Kiss my ass, Fraud. Now run and hide behind the filter, Fraud.
Nobody that worked with Webb is, or was. He's given to petulance, to say the least.
I don't deny anything, Fraud.

So much for the laughable claim 'I don't engage in cross board forum wars' Fraud. God, you are sooo easy...
Is there a site out there with that name? (laughing) I got the name from one of your posts here and liked it so much I made it my tagline. BTW, Bill Mayer would appreciate it if you left him out of your little fantasies of that which never happened. You can email him about it if you want. He was pretty pissed the last time this was brought to his attention. You may remember that time. It was when you were FALSELY [as usual] claiming that I couldn't post @ pipe. Do you know what your problem is? You're a KNOWN quantity, and despite your obvious pathology which makes surfeit your truth deficit, there are AMPLE examples of this fact available...you don't "fool" anyone badeye. Everyone knows you're a drunk and everyone knows you're a liar [the two usually go hand in hand]...is it any wonder that everyone sees you for nothing more than the creation of your own damaged mind... The answer, btw, is no...(grin)

Observing the grenade land dangerously close to his companion, First Lieutenant Webb simultaneously fired his weapon at the enemy, pushed the Marine away from the grenade, and shielded him from the explosion with his own body.

Whoa! Jim Webb's Dirty Novel Passages
- Lost Soldiers: "A shirtless man walked toward them along a mud pathway. His muscles were young and hard, but his face was devastated with wrinkles. His eyes were so red that they appeared to be burned by fire. A naked boy ran happily toward him from a little plot of dirt. The man grabbed his young son in his arms, turned him upside down, and put the boy's penis in his mouth."
