Presidential candidate and former Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) denounced House Democrats’ new Iraq proposal as “a perpetuation of war crimes against humanity.” “What Senator Reid calls a ‘compromise’ is really a concession,” Edwards said. “This proposal may not give George Bush all the money he wants, but it gives him all the money he needs to keep the war going.”
“Representative Murtha (D-Penn.) has made it clear that our troops are ‘cold-blooded killers,’” Edwards exclaimed. “Senator Durbin (D-Ill.) has rightly condemned the tortures carried out by our military prison guards. Continuing this war for even a minute longer continues the war crimes. I call upon Senator Reid and my fellow Democrats to cleanse themselves of war guilt, like I have, by repudiating their past support for this aggression against the Iraqi people.”
Edwards’ statement drew a sharp rebuke from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). “It’s easy for this preening peacock to snipe at those in the Senate,” said Reid. “We still have to try to govern this country. Edwards has been relieved of all such responsibility. He can take whatever politically convenient stance he wants, no matter how asinine it might be.”
Apprised of Reid’s response, Edwards waxed indignant. “I’ll tell you what’s asinine,” Edwards said. “Voting more funding for a war you’ve admitted is lost. Some ‘Majority Leader’ we’ve got here. What a joke.”
Edwards said he is also considering legal action against Reid for “defamation of character.” “Senator Reid’s intemperate remarks may have irretrievably damaged my chance to become president,” Edwards complained. “If I don’t win this thing, I’m going to have to hold Senator Reid personally liable.”
In related news, Senator Hillary Rodham Mrs. William Jefferson Clinton (D-N.Y.) is proposing that Congress repeal the authority it gave President George Bush to invade Iraq in 2002. “President Bush blew it,” Clinton said. “Since he won’t admit his mistake and move on, we have to take back the war authorization congress gave him in 2002. This will bring us as close as we can get to the times of peace and prosperity that prevailed when my husband was president until I’m elected president next year.”

What a f~~king mental case.
Waiting for all the comments from people who take this seriously...
Hi im a new conservative blogger here to this site but have posted elsewhere before. Would like to get in the game if anyone can help me.
One half of Verry-Leftwards is just being a traitor to America. He had the same intelligence as all of the other defeatocrats did when they supported this war and he just is an appeal to the strident leftists that are sending that party McGovernites.
McGovernites dont care about the state of America, only their own political gain. And that political gain almost always comes at the hands of defeatism for America and victory for only defeatists and defeatocrats.
The entire situation in Iraq really exposes those who care for the country, and those who care about winning votes. When the war started, the Democrats, using the same intelligence that Bush had, overwhelmingly supported the war. Now that they believe the war is lost, they are quick to denounce anyone who supports it. If the media ever anounces that we are winning the war and how the Iraqi people actually appreciate what we are doing, I’d like to see how the political leaders who denounce the war now think they have a chance in ‘08.
Contributors to the DNC should seriously consider not sending another penny to this fool ... if these quotes are accurate/truthful, he has marginalized himself and handed his voters to the Rodham-rodent. But then, that may have been the strategy all along, who knows?
Just a little humor folks, in the form of biting satire... at least, I think it is... the Breck Girl could easily have said this in order to get at Hitlery...
[John]Edwards, [Harry]Reid continue to trade barbs over Iraq

DemocRATS eating their own
“Bush calls Carter the best ex-President”
I think that was a typo—supposed to be “beast ex-president.”
