A state senator learned his nephew had been killed in Iraq as the Illinois Senate debated death benefits for military personnel during Saturday's special budget session.

Republican Sen. Dave Sullivan was listening to the discussion on the Senate floor when he was told his 22-year-old nephew, Marine Lance Cpl. Vincent Sullivan, was killed Friday while serving his second tour of duty in Iraq, according to Senate Republican Leader Frank Watson.

Suddenly and tragically, the legislation we were discussing about military benefits became starkly personal for one of our colleagues," said Watson, a Republican.

I guess michael moore didnt bother to jump in this guys face

it should have ALL been personal !! travh, all you think about is the politics. dems against rep.....but we have people dying over there daily, its a shame to even say...."well...now its personal"....its all personal ! but once again, the "when it happens to my family " thing comes to play......im sure the family members of the "regular" soldiers are happy to hear that NOW ITS PERSONAL....

what the hell are you blathering about? Now its personel? ya, all of a suden, now that "one of our own" got killed we are out for blood :rolleyes: shut the hell up korg. I feel for any soldier and their family who pays that price. A good friend of mine was killed in action while we were in Africa, i know how it feels. I was just saying that that fat idiot Micheal Moores stupid implication that only the poor minorities die in battle while rich white mens sons sit home is ridiculous.

Korg ... your age isn't listed - hence my comment. I have long felt that every able bodied U.S. citizen should give a minimum of 3 years public service.

LMAO...well i guess i hit a sore spot. Maybe hit a little too close to home, huh? If you were really the bad ass you're making yourself out to be you wouldnt have to resort to juvenile threats. You would simply do instead of say.

That said, i really shouldnt have made such an inciteful post about you in the first place. But i guess all the personal attacks i've seen you bandy about just made me want to return the favor.

Being pissed off is something one does to oneself. Nobody does it for you.

no reason to argue about this. Just because moore is an ass...doesn't mean he is all that bad. I mean look he is showing us that fat people can do anything they want to if they believe in theirselves...

I mean who cares so many of his facts have have been shown to be fake.

actually...everything in 9/11 is based on facts

Attacking someone’s physical appearance is a mature, and ethical way to go about proving your point.

Would you care to point them out? I mean, of course I’ve seen the websites that depict his movies, but have you seen the movies and come up logical rebuttal to what he’s said? If so, I’d like to see it, from your own words.

nice sig pic you have there overdose ;)

key word there is BASED IN, ya, 9-11 actually happened, and george bush was president when it happened, from there it pretty much goes into a propaganda fest meant to rile the idiot leftist base.
