“I, personally, do not understand why this sort of message is being presented by Republicans at this time. What purpose does it serve?”
It tells the Democrats, “If you want us out of Iraq so you can claim credit for it, shut up, let us do what we have to do and troops will start leaving later in the year because that was our intention in the first place.”
Congressmen now go to Congress to vote their own views and not those of the people whose views they are supposed to represent.
To a large extent the people no longer have a say in what the government in Washington governs.
For example: On the politicians are in favor of amnesty for illegal aliens, the people are against.
Only politicians are in favor forcing those who believe abortion is wrong to pay for the abortions of those who want abortions. The American people are overwhelmingly against paying for other people’s abortions.
Only politicians are against term limits. The American people want term limits.
Add your own.
Yes, anyone paying attention to whats going on over there has a
pretty good idea the enemy is being eliminated,
and we are going to let the Iraqi’s finish up,
‘stay the course’.
