Yep, being in the middle of a war is the time to teach the party a lesson.....stamping feet and shaking fist at the party......which just happens to be us.

Who should be our Commander-in-Chief leading all our armed might....the army, navy, air force, special forces, intelligence, economics, strategy, diplomacy, troop support and morale-building in time of a shooting war.......Hillary, Obama or McCain?

Because one of them WILL be, ya know, and all the wishing, sulking and gnashing of teeth and staying home in defiance won't change THAT fact.

Wasn't it in the Peanuts comics that we first heard the phrase, "We have met the enemy, and they are us"?

I've always stuck to the principle that it's better to shoot the enemy, not one's own foot.

I'm not the enemy here. If you want to talk about enemies, how about back in 1968-76 when I was in the military and overseas and a certain party drove a President out of office.

We will ALWAYS have troops overseas in danger. There is a really, really big problem here with the PUBs and conservatism; the condemnation by those like you of those of us who wish to do something about it is proof of that. Hiding behind the mantra "we are at war" is an excuse and coverup of that problem.

The process we are in now is a primary process, exactly where this problem should be solved - not treating it as if it were a general election. I resent the fact that there are those of you who have already decided for the rest of us who that nominee is going to be. The man, while having an admirable military career which I do honor, is still a Democrat at heart let alone him being a troublemaker for conservatism. He STILL believes in his heart what he acted out formally on immigration, campaign finance reform (and the list goes on and on and on). He may have changed his tune (ala THE SPEECH), but he hasn't changed his heart and mind.
