Ouch! That is going to leave a mark.

The major flaw in responding to Reid in a letter is the assumption that he can read.

[baiamonte]

Reid blocked too many punches with his head. He is a complete blithering idiot and incapable of understanding Boltens letter. Maybe someone will read it to him

Items 1, 2, 3 blah blah, and 4 MEANS"Kick you in the nuts!"

A BTT. We've often complained on FR that the Dems were concentrating on vituperation and letting the policy cupboard go bare. How bare that turned out to be has surprised even a number of Democrat partisans who now question what it is, exactly, they're going to take into the election other than the opposition's policies renamed. That isn't going to do - Clinton managed it but he was an incumbent. Kerry tried it and failed.

They could have appealed to their moderate base and improved their image considerably by presenting the first three of these policies in a bipartisan format and essentially taking the issue off the table. But their lunatic fringe wants to turn the election into another 1972 anti-war jubilee. This course attempts to satisfy both and will end up satisfying neither.

Does it bother you as it does me to see the title "Honorable" before the names on Mr. Reid's letter.

Honorable...not!

I don't have the pics for this, but---where was Rumsfeld on 9/11, and where was Reid?
(Hint: it won't surprise anybody.)

I think that the point of the democrat strategy is not so much as to overlook what we are currently doing, as to point to the letter at some later time, thump their chests, and say, "Look, its finally working now that they took our suggestions!" It takes a pretty uninformed electorate for them to be able to do this, but thats not a problem in this country at the present time.

[petertare]

A complete waste of a good ink pen. Why respond with rational, logic, concise explanations when they will only be twisted for propaganda.

An informed educated American public would have no need for this if not for the constant hate-mongering, political cynicism and contemptible evil of the leftyloser congresscritters.

He should have sent a copy to Obama signed John Bolton.

[lawnguy]

Now, if there were truly balance in the MSM, they would give equal time to this can of whup-ass Josh just opened on the dingy one.

This is so well thought out and well reasoned as opposed to the sloganeering of the traitorous left.

[Bullish]

Bolton to democrats: GO POUND SAND!

[NJJ]

All they are doing is "bumping" their talking points so that the faithful media will get their daily sound bites. It doesn't really matter what either of them are saying.

[hophead]

I ask any Freeper who reads this thread, and their representative is on the list of recipients of this letter, immediately write to that Congressman/Senator and ask for a point by point response or whether or not they believe there is any truth in what Mr. Bolton has stated. Their answer would be very interesting, IF you even get a response.

Geez - Republicans actually standing up for themselves - will wonders never cease!?!......
