McDermott Call U.S. Soldiers Mercenaries, Stupid and Felons

That is the claim by his opponent, Steve Beren.
McDermott said that “we’re losing in Afghanistan,” accused the President of planning to expand the war into Iran, and said “we’re running a gulag – one over in Guantanamo, and several in Iraq.” Yet, the congressman argued, “nobody cares” about the war because “as long as we can hire mercenaries to fight this war for us” the war would continue. McDermott said that the "mercenaries" were recruited from those who could not get jobs, or who could not get into school, or who were in jail due to having committed felonies.

And based on Representative McDermott's history, there is no reason to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Jim McDermot continues to demonstrate that he is completely clueless as to how the real world functions. What is more scary is that there are enough educated yet ignorant people gathered in one area to enable him to be re-elected.

I kepp wondering when the voters in McDermot's District are going to finally realize they have elected a nutjob to represent them, who nobody takes seriously. If they re-elect him, you can consider his District to be STUCK ON STUPID PERMANENTLY!

McDermot is a very accurate representation of his district. Complete and utter nutjobs.
