What We Are About To Do Here Is What The Good Lord Would Call A Cleansing of the Wicked. I Call It A Good Old Fashioned Texas Ass Kicking.

Democrats put their distinguished soldiers on stage at their state convention with messages of patriotism and a strong national defense.
Four-star Gen. Wesley Clark and decorated Vietnam veteran Max Cleland, a former Georgia senator, told delegates Saturday that the administration has botched the war in Iraq and Democrats would be better at handling national security.
"We're strong on defense. That's the message that I want people to hear," Clark said, during one of the few times he raised his voice during the keynote speech. "We've got to talk it up."
Clark, who ran unsuccessfully for president in 2004, said the war on terror has been marked by "macho slogans" and "incredible failures." He said the world has become more dangerous under the Bush administration.
Clark touted a Democratic plan on national security that was released earlier in the week. He said it includes strategy to pull U.S. troops out of Iraq and better equipment for the military.
"This is bigger than North Dakota. It's bigger than our communities," Clark said. "This is about the future of the United States of America and we need to start now."

They know their supporters are.
Wow. What a plan. Surrendering, cutting and running, and then promising better equipment (which you know would never happen). I feel safer already.
I was traveling all day today, all news channels had Clark's statements slamming the war, saying he was giving the Dem radio address.
Not so, Kerry gave an immigration address, so the network radio news lied, just to get in some more digs at the war.
Yes, you are right:

The democrat party is going to split into two parties pretty soon. One part will be less liberal than the other and will be to the right politically of parts of the current Republican party.
"We need to show how strong we are by committing to retreat!"

Good summary or their plaform.
I think we know the answer to that.
They put forth their only two military figures (Kerry was swift-boated) and what do we have:
The deer-in-the-headlights Wesley Clark and poor Max Cleland the man who tried to catch the wrong grenade but has since become an embittered loser to Saxby Chambliss and has fallen to being a delivery boy for John Kerry.
Puuhhleeeze keep these two guys on stage.
Amen Brother!
Is Max still playing with hand grenades?
Hey Wesley!!!! If your private high-altitude war on Bosnia was so succsessful how come we're still there????
I.e., "We have to lie more often and more stridently!"
You are smoking stuff that's too strong.....
The timing is uncanny.
Blah, blah, blah. Talk is cheap and they think we're fools.
Max did suffer horrible injuries in Viet Nam. We should all be sorry about that. But I do get annoyed with the people who try to make his injuries heroic - he did something stupid. His injuries had nothing to do with the war.
But if you phrase things carefully enough, you can always fine someone gullible enough to believe what you want them to believe.
Good post...let's not forgot that these 'rats are traitors and still embolden our enemies
SRV Rocks.............

Isn't it always interesting how the rotten ThugoRats have to run as conservatives to even have a slight chance of winning....nice try Kerry, but we know better.
The RATS guarantee they will get Osama, are they going to raid either Pakistan or Iran? I know one thing for sure Osama is not sitting in some DC watering hole knocking back shots with Teddy K.
There are no more democrats. The are nearly extinct. Only modern liberals control the party now.

Politics was supposed to stop at the water's edge--but consistently the 'rats (and I used to be one, believe me, I know!) have attacked our Commander in Chief when it comes to the use of our armed forces to defend America.
When that perjuring jackass Bill Clinton used an attack on Iraq as a smokescreen before impeachment, the Republican party by and large did not use the occasion to attack the White House. Instead, they listened and gave the occupant of the Oval office the due deference.
For the past 3+ years, the people who are out of power--the DEMOCRATS--have used the President as a punching bag in regard to his foreign policy and it is a freaking shame.
Americans ought to SUPPORT the President when it comes to our troops. Instead, the 'rats have used the occasion to bash Bush and encourage the terrorists.
The rhetoric of the Islamic terrorists, Al Qaeda on Al-Jazeera and Saddam Hussein at his trial MATCHES CONSISTENTLY the rhetoric of the Democrat party and their liberal anti-war friends!
That is a fact and all the window dressing about "national security" the Democrat party operatives are now trying to drum up is like putting a dress on a pig--it doesn't fly.
8 years of Clinton/Clinton/Gorelite gave us endless retreat and cowering from terrorism, and just where exactly was all this "better equipment for the military" then??? Someone tell Weasely Clark that the equipment we took into Iraq was the equipment bequeathed by the Reagan/Bush era - and then the Clintonistas spent 8 years celebrating the end of the Cold War and no more "bi-polar world"...... meanwhile the Islamo-fascists just grew stronger and stronger.
Yeah, the Demagogues really understand national security! I'm convinced, aren't you?
Cus' I'm The Moonba...err,the Taxman! ; )
All they need now is Kerry - who served in VietNam and would gladly " report for duty."
LOL. So they're all for dropping our guns, just so long as they're GOOD guns.
Well said.

“Better Equipment”??? What? Better pillows? Luxury Barracks? Old M-16 jamming machines??? New Blue Helmets??? Please Explain future SECDEF Clark!
