By Rowan Scarborough
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
March 18, 2006

Senate Democrats have mapped a political battle plan for the March congressional recess that calls on lawmakers to stage press events with active duty military personnel, veterans and emergency responders to bash President Bush on virtually every one of his national security policies.

I do not believe they are allowed to do this.

Active duty personnel? Will they present them with paper bags over the heads?

Same ol' $hit all talk and no plan.

"Jim Manley, Mr. Reid's spokesman, said yesterday the planned events are not part of a political campaign. They would involve only incumbent Democratic senators, some of whom are up for re-election, but not Democratic Senate challengers, he said. Democrats hope to capture Senate control in November's election."

They really think they will get active duty military to do this?

They really are stupid.

LOL! The stench of Terry McAuliffe remains! Like 2002, run against Bush --- who isn't running!

Dems have no issues other than adjusting positives and negatives.

It's deja vu all over again. I could have sworn that I saw this very story posted a couple hours ago when I checked in.

any active duty military member who speaks at one of these functions is subject to the UCMJ just as those of us who were active duty during Clinton's presidency were repeatedly warned in briefings that we would be prosecuted if we said anything negative about the lying cheating draft doging rapist scumbag.

The Democrats' new motto:

"Millions for politics, but not one cent for the national interest."

I know that active-duty military aren't allowed to do this. First, they aren't supposed to be at political events in uniform (or using their military status). Second, if they bash the President publicly, they are guilty of violating Article 88 of the UCMJ, Contempt towards officials.

I saw that idiot Paul Hackett on Hairball last night, talking to Chrissy Matthews...so it has already started.

He uses his credentials as an Iraq vet to get a chance to speak...but what he speaks is gobbledy-gook!!

I am sure the the DNC, with money from Soros...has been able to dig up all kinds of "hacketts".

I know they can not stand with Troop supporters, if they are in uniform. I can not imagine they can bash their Commander-in-Chief while in uniform.

Senate Democrats have mapped a political battle plan

How much lower can these commies go?

That's a curiously worded statement, isn't it?

And here they are:

Daniel Akaka (HI)
Jeff Bingaman (NM)
Robert Byrd (WV)
Maria Cantwell (WA)
Tom Carper (DE)
Hillary Rodham Clinton (NY)
Kent Conrad (ND)
Dianne Feinstein (CA)
Edward Kennedy (MA)
Herb Kohl (WI)
Joe Lieberman (CT)
Robert Menendez (NJ)
Ben Nelson (NE)
Bill Nelson (FL)
Debbie Stabenow (MI)
