This is a much needed letter to that shit for brains Senator John McCain.
===================

Sen. John McCain: The purpose of this letter is to provide some facts regarding your negative reaction to the Department of Defense Budget for buildup on Guam and why Guam deserves more than you ever dreamed.

Your conduct on the Senate floor leads me to believe that your staff had not adequately prepared you on this subject.

I find it difficult to believe that an distinguished former warrior such as yourself could possibly find sufficient shortcomings in Guam’s contribution to the defense of our nation to justify such a display.

In order for you to find substance and clarity in the following figures, I will use Arizona as a point of reference for you and your staff.

Our war, yours and mine, was Vietnam. You are a proud veteran of that period and so am I.

I am sure that you are also proud of Arizona’s contribution to that war and the number of sacrifices many Arizonans made.

You can find their names on The Wall there in Washington, D.C. Guam made its contribution in that war also.

The following numbers, or statistics, if you prefer, are on record:

•Arizona’s population in 1970 was about 1.7 million people.

•Guam’s population in 1970 was about 65,000 people.

•Arizona’s contribution to The Wall is about 620 men and women.

•Guam’s contribution to The Wall is about 68 men and women.

•Arizona lost one KIA for every 72,800 residents.

•Guam lost one KIA for every 855 residents.

Ask your staff how many KIA’s Arizona would have had if one out of every 855 Arizonans had been KIA.

Think about how many mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters in Arizona did not have to deal with those losses, when more extended families on Guam were devastated.

We on Guam are a very close-knit community and our current losses are also hard to bare, but bare them we do!

•The current population of Arizona, according to the 2010 Census, is about 6.4 million people.

•The current population of Guam, according to the 2010 Census, is about 160,000 people.

•Both Arizona and Guam are in the top 20 of recent recruits into the Military: Guam is No. 2 in the rankings; Arizona is No. 19 in the rankings.

•Arizona has 14 Chapters of the Military Order of the Purple Heart. One for every 475,000 residents.

•Guam has three Chapters of the Military Order of the Purple Heart. One for every 53,000 residents.

Sen. McCain, do you still find humor with Guam when you consider these facts?

Before you once again express an opinion on the Senate floor, have the facts at your disposal and don’t embarrass yourself over Guam.

Guam is, in fact, good to go!

Sgt. Robert H Wilson Jr., U.S. Army retired, was a resident of Arizona for 13 years and a proud resident of Guam for more than 21 years. He lives in Dededo.

It is just another veiled bigot response. Being a prisoner of war does not give one any hidden insights into war tactics or foreign acumen.

His pretense towards wisdom which he doesn’t have is his first bit of dishonesty. The second is the pretense that he puts his country before his own ambitions and greed.

What is so stuck in their craw that perversion comes out of their mouths. Newt Gingrich has lived off the public trough most of his adult life.

He shold be the first to get off public welfare and get himself a real job and stop bilking the American populace with his false label of historian and get off welfare.

Look in the mirror Newt and give yourself the message you so want to deliver to African Americans.

All this is race- baiting and throwing red meat at their white working- class supporters who think the worse racist thoughts about African- Americans and hate President Obama and his family for being in the “WHITE HOUSE”.

It’s obvious when Newt had the chance and power to say his racial peace when he was “Speaker of the House” he was unavailabl­e to speak with the NAACP.

In fact it was a standing ovation for Newt! Thursday, Newt could do it again!

Now do you liberals still want the “food stamps” president to go up against Newt?
