Reid is a traitor to the USA. He can not possibly care for his country.

I would say that this is true for just about any thing the socialist democrat party stands for....show US their true agenda/beliefs and they will loose. The socialist dems have been emboldened by their loony base and by not understanding the last elections....keep talking loony libs, keep talking.

In my poker game, we split the pot between the "best" and "worst" hands — which encourages more people to stay in and to bet more so that, with the right cards and smart playing, there is a nice pile of chips to win.

“Republicans have been extraordinarily stupid in recent months, but they still know what to do if opportunity knocks....”

Boy, this the truth. But I am not sure they know how to take advantage of this. The PR machine for the GOP is completely broken and inept.

Promising to lose will make one heck of a party platform for the `08 elections.

From the article:

If Reid is right and the war is lost, he didn't lose it; Bush and his subordinates did.

Wrong. Reid and his divisive partisan fellow-travelers including in the US media did make the war much, much tougher than it would have been had the terrorists in Iraq seen a united domestic front in the US determined to beat them and to stick with the effort to liberate Iraq.

Reid, Pelosi and other Democrats claiming to be fit for leadership could have and should have acted responsibily and worked with the president to convince Americans to be patient in the effort, and to offer constructive criticism of where we were going wrong to try to bring about change. Their carping instead insured the administration dug in their heals at times rather than admitting to and fixing mistakes for fear of having their political enemies beat them over the head with them. A more constructive approach by the so-called Democratic leaders would have held the nation together on the war and likely caused our enemies to give up hope of ever prevailing in Iraq. Instead, our enemies heard the disloyal American political opposition say "Spill more US blood and we'll help dispirit the American public." The terrorists gladly complied.

The terrorists were shown by Reid and the lock-step partisans of the Democratic party and US news media that we didn't have the stomach for a tough fight. So the terrorists made sure to give us one thinking based on the divisive, angry rhetoric of the Democrats which ripped the nation apart that they could beat us politically when they could never beat us militarily. Had Al Qaeda in Iraq seen the nation united and determined, I'm convinced they'd have given up Iraq long ago.

No, quite to the contrary of what the writer claims, if this war is lost it will have been on the back of Democratic efforts to divide the nation on the war which emboldened our enemies, all for the purpose of cheap political gain and to give vent to their endless determination to damage the president. Unseemly at best, treasonous at worst.

The stupid, and it really was stupid, comment from Reid, combined with the Surrender Vote and Bush’s subsequent VETO is causing a lot of embarrassment for the oh-so-smart Dems.

I predict that soon, Reid or some other Dem will do something or say something really outrageous to distract from their ineptness.

Wasn't Reid simply making an accurate statement? [that the war is lost] Perhaps...

Even this writer doesn't get it. The idea that the United States Military can "lose" a war against a handful of savages blowing up civilians is ludicrous. We can't possibly "lose" the war. We can only quit. Those are the terms Republicans should be using against dems. They're quitters, pure and simple. It's utterly impossible for us to "lose".

What hot streak? The democrats have yet to pass what they thought to be the easiest legislation which is to raise the minimum wage.

Reid even REPEATED his mantra today to the press after his meeting with Pres. Bush: "the war is lost". He did so SEVERAL TIMES! Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Reid is part of pelosi’s shadow government. They both should be tried for treason.

Just a small thought here: The Republicans didn’t deal the rats any better a hand than the rats dealt them.

The joker in the deck is the media, who ignore the failings of the rats and promote, explore, expound, pontificate and, at times, fabricate every Republican picadillo they think will aid the cause of the rats.

Benedict Arnold Harry Reid is truly a gift who keeps on giving.

Over the past two years, President Bush and his Republican colleagues have been dealing great hands to their Democratic adversaries. The Iraq war, Tom DeLay, Jack Abramoff, Mark Foley, Randy Cunningham, Harriet Miers, Scooter Libby

Now, I agree that from time to time the Republican Party has handed over to the Dems victories on a silver platter, but Delay and Libby? IIRC, they were done in by politically partisan Dem prosecutors who sought to indict them for crimes that did not exist.
