The Armed Forces are a profession, does she expect people to volunteer without pay?

I don't give a rat's ass what Eleanor says, let the left keep on spouting off, it only helps us.

Completely ridiculous comment. I was watching McLaughlin group and could not believe she said it. She may also want to read the dictionary to see the meaning of the word "mercenary" : one who fights for money only. Our troops fight for ONLY the US.

The only military Eleanor Clift ever loved was Nicaraguan.

First I have heard of this. What if a reporter called NARAL abortion funded mercenaries? Of course that would be true.....bad analogy.

Every time that I seek this bucktooth skank on TV I want to puke because I know that something anti-American, anti-conservative, or anti-Bush is about to come out of her filthy piehole.

But I'm sure she'll say she 'supports' the mercenary troops.

I guess she got tired of being the second ugliest female 'journalist' and could not wait for Hellen Thomas (ready for Dick Cheney to run for VP) and decided to go for dubest broad on TV without breat augmentation.

That's typically not the smell I associate her with.

It's par for the course with Eleanor Cliff. She thinks Michael Moore is a patriotic conservative.
