Senate Defeats Iraq Withdrawl Plans
No...Oh and in case it wasn't clear the first time NO!!! Non!! Nada!! Niet!! Nein! Nr!!! 不!!! いいえ!!
The Senate shot down a second Democratic proposal to start moving US troops out of Iraq today. The vote was 60-39, not even close. The vote on the first resolution was 86-13, even worse. I am trying to figure out what purpose they have in mind by doing this? They can't be expecting these things to actualy pass, so that leaves political posturing or plain stupidity. Both of which seem plausable when you consider we are dealing with the likes of Murtha, Kerry, Pelosi, Durbin, etc... It seems this will galvanize the issue, a large gamble when you consider elections are only 5-6 months off and over half of America believes we need to "stay the course", a term that Bush has been repeatedly ridiculed for using. I think the stock Dem quote these days is "Stay the course is not a strategy" or something of that sort. Americans are divided fairly evenly on whether to set a timetable for withdrawl, but almost none (under 2%) say "get out now". If you look at this logicaly, honestly does anyone really believe that Kerry and pals think things are going to be better if we pull out and let the Iraqis fend for themselves right now, in one year, in three? They tell us from one side of their mouths how bad everything is, but then tell us its ok to leave. They say we have not trained enough Iraqi soldiers, then they say we should let them fight on their own??? I had a comment the other day from a gentleman who was trying to say I didn't get the Dems message because I linked to the GOP talking points and said what anyone with any sense already knows. The Democrats have no unified message and certainly do not have a viable plan to lead. There are actually polls out that say if the election was held today Republicans would lose the house and maybe the senate also. Now I am no big fan of the GOP lately, but imagine what handing over the controls to Nancy Pelosi would mean. I get chills to think of people whose moral compass reads a constant South having control over our congress. People if there is one things the last 6-7 years have done, they have allowed enough time for the liberal wing of the Democratic party to rear up its ugly head for the entire country to see. Don't believe me? Here are just a few of the statements you may or may not remember from the last 7 years:
"I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again. I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time-never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work for the American people." Bill Clinton
"I would think that if you understood what Communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees, that we would someday become communists."
Jane Fonda
"We live in fictitious times. We live in a time with fictitious election results that elect fictitious presidents. We live in a time when we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons. We are against this war, Mr. Bush. Shame on you. Shame on you."
Michael Moore
