HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

Republicans love war! They love bombing and killing innocent people! They love to dominate weak people, women, old people, kids!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!

I guess that's why the Republican party ended slavery, while the Democratic party was for it.

That's the bad thing about a democracy. People like this are actually allowed to vote.... :(

One last comment about this editoria:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.... oh good Lord, my side hurts....

Ok, but since you asked a question, to answer it:

http://www.whoserved.com/house.asp

In the House of Representatives:

Reps with military service: 22.4%
Reps without military service: 77.6%

Military Service in the US House of Representatives by Party:

Republicans with military service: 12.5%
Democrats with military service: 9.9%
Independants with military service: 0%

And, from the same site, Senate members who have military experience:

Republicans: 16
Democrats: 13

Would someone who lives close to Gary please go check on him & his meds? I'm worried he may have mixed a few of the more potent ones....

Hey Charlie Fox!! Pull your head out, most of the military votes on the conservative side. Oorah!

I don't much care for your referral to women as "weak people". Maybe we need to send Sarah Palin to straighten you out!

For more of Gary Lukert's ramblings, see here:

The posts are a little old, but it shows how his opinions about Republicans are set in stone. Ask him about the Texas Mafia!

He also contributed $50 to the Lyon County Democratic Committee. Seen here:

Isn't Google magical? I'll probably be voting Democratic this year, but come on...it wouldn't hurt to be not so judgmental.

I'm at least glad he brought up how many members of congress have military experience. Of course, he was 180 degrees off, but I had no idea, so it was an interesting stat to look up - now we know.

Seriously, though. You mix some meds in the right combination and it can be really bad for your health....

Gary;
There’s an idiot wind blowing every time you hit one of them keys on your keyboard! Are you positive that you are not a Russian supporter? I would have never accused you of that but your article seems to twist all of the facts by at least 180 degrees. Come clean about Saddam, you are mad about his passing aren't you? I hope you are not the poster child (I define that as the person selected to post a groups thoughts.) for the party that you donated your $50 to. If you are, they probably would like to give your money back. They would like to be known as the party of change, so heck I bet they would give you $60 change back just to not post on their behalf.

That was the most inaccurate, idiotic, biased, lying piece of left-wing radical drivel I have ever read!! This guy needs a reality check, followed closely by a mental health check, followed by a check to purchase a plane ticket to Russia, where he might be much happier!

"Dick didn’t like the Russians invading Georgia, why in hell didn’t they send bombers, missiles and troops in? Hell, they did it in Iraq!"

yeah, uh....we didn't invade Iraq because Russia was there.

I went to Iraq, and when we went door to door looking for bad guys, that didn't typically include weak people, women, old people, and kids. Generally they were military-aged males with enough mental capacity to decide that they wanted to be a part of a terrorist organization. So having been there and done that, I can say that this dude's opinion is basically erroneous.

stryker1_25, I'm going to have to disagree with one thing you said. You said this guy is "basically" erroneous.

Just "Basically"???? He didn't get one single thing right! He couldn't even get which party has more congressmen with military service right!

Just pickin' at ya, stryker - I just wanted a good excuse to post and thank you for your service to our country. You have my respect and gratitude.

If we start wars, particularly those of choice based on faulty logic, the old men (and women) who vote for it should be the first into combat if they think it's that important to go to war. Then, the youngsters can watch and learn from their mistakes.

THANK YOU so much for your military service to our country. Your continued postings in the Gazette would be most enlightening.

"And take a look at Main Street business people ... you have to look long and hard to find this largely Republican group has any who’ve served their country!"

I can think of at least three right off the top of my head. Four counting me.

I am trying to think of a way to say this without getting it deleted, and I am having a hard time coming up with the words. Here's the best I can do:

Gary(mister is to polite), I don't like you very much at all right now, and I very much disagree (gulp) with your opinions, and find them extremely arrogant and ignorant.
