"Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled, or hanged."

Durbinladen's actions on the Senate floor were an act of sabotage against our military.

Why is it when wussies like Dirty Durbin get their a**es in a sling appears with a "weepy semi-apology"? These p*ssy legislators make me sick.

Because sadly, 49% of American voters agree with them and vote them into office. In Chicago, I'd put it at 98%.

You got that right. The other day I was thinking to myself that maybe in the future I'll just follow a rule when voting that is, "If they're already in office I'm voting against them" regardless of who they are. I'm sick of all of them.

It's too bad that Sen. Durbin forgot to include the comparison to "Genghis Khan"!

Sen. Durbin is just continuing in the 30 year tradition (since the end of the Vietnam War) of the Democratic Party--of giving 'aid and comfort' to the enemy in time of war.

His comments are no more outrageous than those offerred by Sen. Kennedy only a few months ago! Kennedy's unconscionable comments were no different, yet they received only a fraction of the current outrage that Durbin's anti-American comments have received.

Aw come on lily....tell us what you really think! ~ lol

It is pretty amazing how these lying pieces of cr@p always put on a dry-eyed display of 'tears' every time they know they've been nailed.

It grieves me to think that our own people have elected this person to the senate. There is a breach of trust between our representatives and their constituents. Even some of our own republicans in congress were quick to sweep this under the rug. As a professional soldier for the last 15 years, this truly saddens me. What saddens me more is his idea of what constitutes an apology. He obviously doesn't respect himself first, much less anything or anyone else. What a tragedy in American government today.

Remember how one of the RINO 7 (I think?) pleaded with tears in his eyes to not get rid of the filibuster. Made me sick.

"Arrested, exiled, AND hanged" is my only edit.

I figure someone must have conducted a poll somewhere that showed that if you whimper, blink your eyes real fast and swallow hard while you pretent to apologize 72% of the people will buy it!

"There can be little doubt that Senator Durbin has made it significantly easier for Al Qaeda to recruit new terrorists to kill more of the American troops he professes to respect and admire."

Durbin's shocking comments laid bare the heart of the man hiding inside the Senator's suit. No forced, half-hearted 'apology' will ever be able to negate the damage he did to America's image and the increased danger he placed our troops in with his inflammatory and treasonous indictment of our military.

The most infuriating aspect of the whole debacle is that Durbin will be allowed to continue to 'serve' our country in a position of power and authority while every American knows he spits on what we stand for, and while every terrorist repeats his words as a battle cry.

Hell no he isn't redeemed. All Durbin did was gripe about being "misunderstood", which places all blame at the feet of the people who didn't like what he said.

It wasn't a real apology. He never said that he was sorry for saying it and that it should have never been said. He said that he was sorry if YOU took it in a way he didn't mean. So it is YOUR fault, not his.
