They need to start fighting back! For far too long they have asked our soldiers to fight 24/7 in some of the most hostile territory on earth! - Yet the sit back here in luxury and won't even enter the fight a mere 40 hours a week!! (hell, not even 20 hours...half a work week).
The notion that false premise after false premise keeps being allowed to be set by the MSM (and DEM's) is absurd!! - It is pathetic of this WH and RNC.
Get out there with a full blitz PR campaign, in a systematic way which floods the American people with our successes and reestablishes ALL the reasons we needed to move on Iraq.
Tell how since Sept 11th we have inflicted one strategic defeat after another on our enemies while not suffering one ourselves.
The PR teams for the WH and RNC have been utterly pathetic. Our soldiers deserve more from them. Much more.
This is getting nasty.
How come Reid gets to "go nuclear" and the GOP can't?
Excuse me, but did not the Senate already investigate this?
"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line." - President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998

Letter to President Clinton. - ( D ) Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, others, Oct. 9, 1998

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country." - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons…" - Sen. Robert Byrd ( D, WV ) , Oct. 3, 2002

Jay Rockefeller ( D, WV ) , Oct 10, 2002
"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members … It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons." - Sen.

He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime … He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation … And now he is miscalculating America’s response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction … So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real…" - Sen. John F. Kerry ( D,
The Democrats are practicing the big lie. The war was not solely about WMD, but most believed this was a problem before Sadaam was toppled.
This is their attempt to steal President Bush's nomination-thunder and put the pressure back on the administration. The Dims didn't get the Rove indictment that they wanted and things are looking way too rosey at 1600 Pennsylvania for their liking.
It'll backfire on them - it always does.
Parlor tricks, stupid stunts, and lies...are all the Dumbocrat Party has these days.
Harry Ried needs to be exiled to his beloved Cuba or North Korea.
I had to translate this from weasel to English:
" Since our ploy --indictments and a manufactured crisis-- failed miserably, we'll still try to make a show of it and make it seem like something more is going on. "
The Dems have chosen to declare open war on the Republicans and America. Sitting square in the middle of the greatest war in recent American history, they are resorting to petty partisan politics in the dirty fashion to which they have become accustomed, to undermine the war effort and the administration seeking to carry it successfully through to conclusion.
They are planning to block a Supreme Court nominee solely on his judicial philosophy - a thing the Repubs have never done - not even in the case of such egregiously partisan and biased nominees like Bader-Ginsburg and Breyer.
They are trying to fan the Valerie Plume non-event into a national crisis.
They are trying to indicte a man who had made contradictory statements about a matter of no real consequence in a case which involved a non-crime in an attempt to discredit the administration.
They are trying to indicte the Senate Majority Leader on the basis of frivilous matter.
These events are not unconnected.
Their ultimate goal is to stage a repitition of the shameful "Putsch" they created during the Nixon Administration.
Now is the time for all conservatives and Republicans to close ranks - close ranks around Bush, around Cheney, around De Lay, around Libby, and around Alito.
No compromise, no dealing, no stepping back one step or giving one inch.
If the Dems want all-out war, we should give them.
You know, I'm getting real sick of this "no weapons of mass destruction" crap. Hussein gassed his own people, used something on us in the first Gulf War and our troops found hundreds and hundreds of chemical suits and Atropene injectors on the march to Baghdad.
Anybody who served in the military knows that Atropene is an antidote for chemical weapons. What were they there for? They knew we wouldn't be chemical weapons on them. The antidotes were for them when they used chemical weapons on us.
It's easy as hell to hide something in the desert. We didn't find Babylon for 3,000 years and we knew where it was.
Okay...this is the time for the Republicans to take the gloves off and begin saturating the news with FACTS! They should get their most articulate people (and we have a lot more of them then the Dems do) and methodically dissect Wilson's lies and CITE the evidence. First of all...they should cite Fitzgerald..their "Elliot Ness" who said this has nothing to do with Iraq...THEN cite the BI-Partisam committee report that shows that Wilson lied in his op-ed.
I know that Talk radio hits it...but it's time for the Republicans to do so and get up to speed on the facts.
Dear Democrat Senator Scumbags;
Since the same intelligence used by Bill Clinton and EVERY sitting Democrat Senator in 1998 to justify bombing Iraq was part of the Bush Admins Intelligence used in 2003, please explain to me how "Bush lied" and YOU ALL did NOT?
If anyone LIED to us it was Bill Clinton and the Democrat Leadership when they developed this Intelligence in 1998. When can we expect the letters of resignation from ever member of the Democrat Senate Leadership over this "lie"?
This is a power play by the demorats because they know the GOD has threatened a nuclear option over Alito. This is equivalent to a child throwing a temper tantrum.
The Dems said they would pulled this stunt again till they get what they want
I Double Dare them to
