Why is no elected Rat standing up and doing what they must know is right. This country will pay a heavy price for a very long time if we cut and run. Don`t they remember 9/11?

No, they don't agonize over their anti-war stance at all. They agonize over the fact that it's hurting them at election time.

Joe Lieberman did. And they see what it got him.

The Democrat party is on the verge of being McGoverned.

Actually, worse...

There are no Democrat "Centrists", "Hawks", or "Moderates".

When it comes to the structure of Demo-World, it's "Leftwingnuts" all the way down.

I have always been a registered independent. I have voted for both parties in the past. I have just changed my voter registration to republican. Ever since 9/11, the only democrat that I have been proud of is Zell Miller. Lieberman lost my respect with his continuation of the so-called "stolen election"

The war against Judeo-Christianity and Islamic Fascism is upon us.

How long do the Democrats and worldwide secular liberals want to pretend it does not exist?

New York?

Russia?

Madrid?

Paris?

Bali?

Israel?

What is it going to take world? Huh? When are you going to wake up to the fact that the gates of Hell itself are from radical Islam?

You won't world. You won't. The UN and the EU think you rule the world, and the United States and Israel are evil. Against ALL facts you believe this. Do you know why?

You don't believe in God, and Satan has blackened your heart.

To the world that won't listen to Good but embraces Evil I say this:

Enjoy Hell - you are going to have Eternity to think it over.

Come Lord Jesus.

If someone can take out Lieberman on an anti-war platform then most Democrats should be thinking that ought to be their platform."


Go for it. Please.

The fact is that the Rats have no intention of ending this war. They just want to be the ones to win it, and they will do all in their power to prevent the Republicans from winning it, and saving the nation.

If they gain control of one or both houses of Congress, they will use the 2 years to block everything, and hold investigations of everything, and bring the war and the economy to a halt. They think that will help them get the White House. They would then continue the war, but not as aggressively. Diplomacy and multilateralism and all the things that don't work. They'd then get frustrated, the leftwing base would start to squawk, and then they would give up. Find a way to bring everyone home, which would end up in Iraq going down the tube and a big mess.

Thankfully, I don't think the people are stupid enough to elect Democrats. They are frustrated with the GOP, but because they are not tough enough, not because they are fighting this war. I don't think the Dems will win this fall or in 2008, but never discount the possibility of GOP stupidity. Immigration reform, a bad nominee or something similarly insane could cause their defeat. Give us a good, solid conservative, and someone who can articulate the issues, and 2008 will be just fine.

Hillary recently expressed her idea of a national 55 mph speed limit.

Another great idea...

This Lieberman thing is amazing. I was sure the Stupid Party was going to get trounced by the Evil Party this November. But now, amazingly, we are watching the Evil Party morph into the Stupid Evil Party right before our eyes! Against all odds it looks as if the nutty left will be able to pull off the impossible and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by driving the Dumbocrats over the cliff.

It is almost as if Soros were working for that evil genius Rove ...

Hey, wait a minute... isn't Soros one of the rich? .... And aren't we to believe that the Republicans are the party of the rich? ... And isn't Soros and his money setting the Republicans up for victory in November???

Hmmmmmm ... enquiring {sic} minds want to know!

The correct terminology is "pseudo Hawks and pseudo Centerists."

What they are upset about is liberals being honest that they are liberals. Most dems are as radical as Daily Kos. But they pretend otherwise. Americans will not elect honest liberals, only dishonest ones that pretend to be moderates.

It has been continuously McGoverned since 1972.
