Brilliant, simple, stirring...deserving more attention than it got
House Republicans News conference on the U.S. policy in Iraq (11/17/2005) Comments of J.D. Hayworth (R-Arizona):
"J.D. Hayworth. Arizona Five."
"There's no need to sugarcoat what has transpired today. People talk about exit strategies. Well, let's let the American people decide."
"The majority's exit strategy is Victory and Freedom for the people of Iraq. Now, sadly, many on the Democratic side have revealed their exit strategy: Surrender."
"The American people will not stand for Surrender. The American people are made of sterner stuff. And the American people understand that if we turn tail and leave now, more problems will visit our shores and the consequences will be far greater."
"And if there's a doubt, take a look at the people of old Europe. Take a look at the French. Take a look at what's transpiring in the streets of France."
"Sadaam Hussein has been deposed. He is behind bars. That is an unqualified success. Dare we now snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, plagued by the poll-driven self doubt of those who embrace surrender?"
"I don't believe the American people will stand for it. I believe the American people have a simple approach: We prevail. We're victorious. Freedom prevails in the Middle East, and we say No to the spread of Islamofascism around the globe."
This is in part because the democrats have been playing to the FOREIGN press. (see FOREIGN campaign donors regadless of legality, see clinton)
I bet the foreign media will play murtha's comments but not the actual vote tally.
The fact that Cynthia A. McKinney of Georgia, Robert Wexler of Florida and Jose E. Serrano of New York were the only three shows they are Congressional LOONIES. Loonies who are an embarassment to their consitutents.

Latest column: "What If the French Had Pulled a 'Murtha' in 1781?"
Not that I think attacking Murtha personally is worth anything - but don't you think that if he were a Republican that the media would at least mention that he was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in ABSCAM? Instead, they have made him St. Demwarhawk. NOT ONE MENTION OF IT in any article about Murtha the past few days. That is odd....

I agree. I am sure Mother Sheehan was planning her mtgs. with Murtha, and vice-versa.
I was disappointed that JD chose not to run for Governor of our state next year against Ms. Neopolitan, but I believe he has all the qualities for a fine President and he's a great speaker (he was a radio sportscaster before going to politics). He also has a wonderful wife (Mary) and is a fine Christian. HAYWORTH in 2008 for President - now we're talking about a great candidate!
Great quote. Glad the house did what it did. Now if the senate R's could re-grow their spines, we'd be fine......
What he states is no great revelation... this is a war and it must be won. There ain't no 'walkin away from this one... our enemy has NO intention of doing so. They want to EAT our children.
V. D. Hanson was on 'Hardball' saying the same thing to an astounded, Chris Mathews last night. Chrissie blubbered But an overwhelming majority of Americans want us out of there... how lonnnnnng can we stay?!!!
Hanson calmly looked him in the eye and said This won't be over in my lifetime.
For a second... I thought 'Spit-Boy' was 'gonna start 'cryin!
It has come to light that Harry Reid has admitted he did not review the pre war intelligence reports prepared by the CIA at the direct request of the Democrats.
And Rockefeller admitted that only six Senators have reviewed the same documents.
Now this means that, sadly, very few Republicans reviewed the documents either.
But Republicans aren't the ones complaining about pre war intelligence report manipulation.
It seems the RNC could make an effective commercial that the left complains about the manipulation of intelligence reports but admit they haven't read them. So how could the left make a judgement that intelligence was manipulated?
J.D. has been pretty pissed off nice to see wish more no back bone Republicans would wake up and start seeing the left for what they are a True Threat to this country and that not one of them are worth trying to make nice nice with. I'm so tired of it these people are the real American Threat to our future and welfare they are America's terrorist's.
We no longer have two loyal major American political Parties - we have one. The other is composed of Americans who no longer see the America our Founding Fathers envisioned but instead see an America Karl Marx and other enemies of our Republic envisioned and wished for.
If the Democrats had any shame left (and they don't, as their worship of Bill Clinton indicates) they would be ashamed of the spectacle they made of themselves last night!
The Dems are trying to spin this as if the Republicans "changed" Murtha's resolution. WHy? Because supposedly Murtha didn't say "immediate" but only to do so in 6 months time. What a crock! It took us almost a year to even get in-country before the war, so immediately MEANS it would take 6 months at least to withdraw...and I loved what Hayworth did by showing the two headlines of the NYTIMES..."immediate withdrawal" Beautifully done and about time!!
This is a great post, and you nailed the Democrats perfectly. Wish I could have stated it so well!!
One of the surrender-monkies, Robert Wexler, of South Florida is within our locality. I suggest that all South Florida FReepers begin delivering WHITE flags and feathers to his office!
"Following the Senate's vote earlier this week of essentially no confidence in the President, the House of Representatives last night reversed that by giving President Bush a resounding victory, with a near unanimous vote to stay the course in Iraq. In other news..."
Not!
I agree whole-heartedly. Round out the ticket with Duncan Hunter as VP.
