“I can’t stop this war,” a frustrated Rangel said in a recent interview, reiterating his vow to retire from Congress IF Democrats fall short of a majority in the House.
But when pressed on how he could stop the war even IF Democrats control the House during the last years of President Bush’s second term, Rangel paused before saying, “You’ve got to be able to pay for the war, don’t you?”
Lotta if'n, 'n, wishin', 'n hopin'.
The Dems are simply hamstrung on national security because their America-hating nutroots base (including the press and academic moonbats) won't allow them to act responsibly. As a consequence, they just want to make America go back to sleep again and hand the fight against terrorists over to 'law enforcement' (i.e., do nothing that requires using the military).
This is a classic fault line in the politics of all republics: a long war is difficult to fight because sooner or later a significant political faction sees an intersection between their own domestic political interests and the defeat abroad of their own polity. Guelfs and Ghibellines, Alciabiades, etc.
The Dems are the party of treason.
Like I keep saying, they are digging their hole deeper and deeper. Last week the clown from Venezuela helped with it, Sunday, Billy Jeff and now cut and run Rangel. Live is sweet
Drink 1 beer and go to bed young lady!
Who is paying Rangle?
This is a diamond in the rough! demonrats showing their true colors!
So they are soliciting funds from the terrorists and OBL now.
I am now sure that funds will flow to them, (again) from North Korea, and other degenerate countries.
Well this is what they are striving for
Putting the RATS in charge will only make things worse on several levels. Military spending is the ONLY part of the budget the Democrats would cut. They want to live in the glory days of Clinton's term by gutting military and intelligence and raising everyone's taxes across the board and doling it out to the poorest among us.
"Rangel also promised to resign if the Dems failed to take control of the House this November. Can we take him at his word?"
When do lunatic libs like Rangel lie?
When do they stop lying?
That's enough of a motivation for me!! Vote elephant 2006.
Excuse me? LOLOLOLOL!
This will just embolden the insurgetns, terrorists and other scum.
The majority of voters support our troops, and will be offended by this "Cut & Run" Democrat's statement.
If any of them hear it, which they largely won't.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.
Apparently not
However cut-and-run cowardly the may be, at least they tell you right up front what they'll do if we're dumb enough to let them have control of a congressional chamber again. We wouldn't be able to say that we didn't know what we were getting.
And look at how well that turned out. Now the Vietnamese have a government like the one the "Progressives" would like to force on the USA.
"Woolsey and some of her colleagues note that Congress helped force the end of Vietnam War by refusing to pay for it."
Good job. 500,000+ Vietnamese killed post April 1975, another 500,000 sent to "reeducation camps" for torture, the rest of the country enslaved, more than 1 million refugees (untold thousands killed in the journey), 2+ million murdered in Cambodia.
