Hmmm...maybe we should have used "benchmarks" during our own reconstruction period. When ex-slaves failed to "step up" in the face of the Klan we should have punished the ex-slaves by withdrawing federal support. Yeah, that'll work. ;-)

I heard that interview twice....and it made me furious both times.

Boehner is a tool.

[penelopesire]

Over 30,000 people have signed the pledge that Hewitt started last week. That's pretty astonishing. When I signed it, it was in the 700's!!

Let's hope the republican leadership is listening.

Who cares what the enemy thinks and long as they die whenever we want them to.

[wayoverontheright]

These resolutions clearly invite the enemy to continue the fight.

EASY:

Thanks to our elitist inside the betlway mentality politicians, the enemy KNOWS they are winning.

They know they have the support of the Democrat Party.

They KNOW they have the support of the RINOs

They KNOW the MSM does not want the USA to win.

They know the above will be shot first when they impose sharia.

A copy of my emails to congress,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am appalled at the talk of so called conservatives within the GOP supporting the Democrat's anti war votes. What is troublesome is that there seems to be more of a fear of reelection held above the principles of freedom and Democracy our country defends and protects.

How bitter Iraqis must be when they hear six figure a year men and women declare "last chances" as they hear the sound of car bombs or bullets, and especially when they read about the dilemmas facing Republicans who had "close calls" in November or who face "tough fights" in '08.

How confusing is this signal to our troops, in harms way, that they fear being abandoned by our government before they complete their mission and obtain victory. Political correctness has tied the hands of our forces and made their jobs harder, and certainly more dangerous. Sending signals of weakness and a lack of a unified front only gives the terrorists more courage to fight the forces of freedom. I have a son who is currently in the final stages of deployment to Iraq. How dare you do anything that diminishes his mission or further endangers his life! Any support of the Democrats resolution in any form will give the terrorists more reason to step up their attacks and place our soldiers deeper in harms way.

It appears to me that the GOP is in part abandoning the principles that the voters base is clearly supporting, which is victory and a completed mission. The legasy of our military involvements over the past 50 years is nothing to be proud of. Unfinished business in North Korea is a source of concern now. Unfinished business in Viet Nam has scarred many a soldier who was abandoned by our government because it appeared to be the popular thing to do.
We left unfinished business in Desert Storm which has become Iraqi Freedom. And if we do not finish the business of Iraqi Freedom, what and where will the next related conflict be that comes back to haunt us?

I have withheld any further contributions to the Republicans since 2004 because I feel like the party is no longer representing the ideals or the platforms is has run on in the past that make the GOP desirable. I am also in communication with thousands of like minded individuals who are doing exactly the same thing. If the GOP is to survive, it will require the support of millions of Americans who feel slighted by the lack of solid leadership and unity within the party. That support is waning. Especially when serious matters of security and troop morale are being sacrificed for political points.

Listen to the conscience of America and not a loud group of obstructionists who have made our President appear to fail on all fronts, all for political gain. Stand up for something for a change and stay the course! I want to support the GOP. Give me good reason why I should continue my support.

These resolutions and desertion of the RINO's certainly fulfill the terrorist's hopes.

Aljazeera reported a recording by Iraqi al-Qaeda leader Abu Hamza al-Muhajir expressing not only comfort, but also renewed vigor from Democratic congressional victories convincing him the strategy for a victorious Caliphate will be realized sooner than anticipated. For him the events offsets Iraqi achievements and sacrifices for an elected government, constitutional referendum, and physical reconstruction.



A-Mmuhajir’s belief parallels that reported by Colonel Bui Tin of the NVA General Staff to the Wall Street Journal. The military disaster of Tet, largely inflicted by a South Vietnamese Army abandoning families during the supposed Chinese New Year truce, was offset by NVA political victories. The NVA were elated when Jane Fonda, wearing a red Vietnamese dress, proclaimed American actions shameful and pledged unity with the NVA. Her words accompanied Walter Cronkite’s “quagmire” sound bite effectively burying the Rand report verifying near NVA/VC annihilation.



As the NVA, terrorists see confirmation of a rich, irresolute people nurturing defeatist convictions with such treats as CNN video showing the killing of American soldiers. They count on a new generation of Hollywood, university, media, and political liberals to compromise the War on Terror the way a Democratic Congress sealed South Vietnam’s fate by refusing to rebuild or support its armed forces after they again destroyed General Giap’s army in 1972.



A-Muhajir’s and other terrorist’s beliefs are not misplaced, when liberals seek fulfillment in diminished U.S. status and belligerent national independence movements, notwithstanding totalitarian servitude of peoples under Wahhabi/Salafi, Communist, Bolivarian, or Islamic fundamentalist rule.

I heard this interview live. What an embarrassment our Republican leadership is.

We are nowhere near fixing what is wrong in our party.

Hugh asked Boehner why not put forth a resolution for victory? That would be the best political move, plus it is also the right thing to do.

GRRRR, this current crop of repubs are wimps.
