Kerry: Senate GOP Proposal for Iraq Withdrawal Shows GOP Support for War "Crumbling"
johnKerry.com ^ | governsleastgovernsbest

Posted on 11/15/2005 10:58:24 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Earlier today I posted a thread reporting on Bill Frist's appearance on the Today show, during which he touted his weak-sister proposal for withdrawal from Iraq. Here's a link to the thread:

Sure enough, it didn't take the Dems long to exploit Frist's weakness. Check out the email below just received from John Kerry. Frist and his fellow GOP supporters of the proposal have no one to blame but themselves.

-----------------------------------

Dear ,

You can feel the ice breaking. For far too long, Republican leaders have refused to challenge the aimless Bush "stay as long as it takes" approach to Iraq. But now, their unwillingness to act has started to crumble.

Today in the Senate, facing a Democratic resolution on Iraq, the Republicans offered their own call for President Bush to come up with a plan. They didn't go nearly far enough, but clearly our call for a concrete plan is gaining momentum.

It's time for the next step. Help our "20,000 troops home over the holidays" campaign place billboards in the home districts of Republican leaders.

Help place billboards in Republican leaders' home districts

To date, over a quarter of a million people have signed our call to withdraw 20,000 troops from Iraq over the holidays. That withdrawal should be linked to the completion of December elections in Iraq - and it should be the first step in the concrete plan for Iraq that President George W. Bush owes the American people.

We shouldn't let America's brave men and women go another day without having such a plan in place. That's why we're turning up the heat with our Billboards and House Signs campaign over the next month.

Will you add your voice and your financial support to this effort right now?

Help place billboards in Republican leaders' home districts

This is the next key step in a grassroots organizing and mobilizing campaign that won't end until we've forced the Bush administration to act. The best way to do that is to turn up the heat on Republican leaders in Congress.

It's important to get our "20,000 troops home over the holidays" message out everywhere. With your help, we'll run these billboards where they can be seen by key Republican leaders of Congress.

And, to extend this phase of our "20,000 troops home over the holidays" effort to your own hometown, here's what we've done. We've created a downloadable version of the billboard that you can print and post in your own home.

Download and display a house sign

We can feel the momentum building every day behind our call for a concrete plan for Iraq. And our Billboards and House Signs initiative can keep moving things forward. Let's make it happen.

Sincerely,

John Kerry

P.S. We've got to act fast to place and produce these billboards. In addition to donating, I hope you'll pass news of this exciting initiative on to your friends and colleagues by forwarding this message now.

Which is why the Repulicans should not have done what they did. Now they will need to dig themselves out of this hole.

If the populace concludes the "war" has devolved to our soldiers driving around, and dying, babysitting a bunch of inept Sharia-led Moos who won't assume responsibility for their own security, you bet support will crumble.

We'll just have to wait and see. The blatherings of The Lurch and Silky Pony Show are irrelevent.

Nice job, Republican Senators. Bash the President's foreign policy and our troops WHILE THE PRESIDENT IS OVERSEAS.

THERE IS ONLY ONE QUESTION THAT NEEDS TO BE ASKED EVERY TIME THIS WAR CRAP COMES UP:

"WOULD THIS ACTION PLEASE OR DISPLEASE THE TERRORISTS?"

The Democrats and some wussy Republicans in Congress are certainly NOT disheartening the terrorists.

Yes, Kerry has friends, if only because when no one else can think of anything to do, he can always been counted upon to "have a plan."

Senator Joe Leiberman's support of the Iraq war and the reasons for getting into it shows the democrats latest attempt to undermine the administration has failed.
