I'll try to look out for those. I just haven't noticed the 'sit home' stuff about Nov.

Worse, this will KILL US troops. Sure they can stop the war by cutting off funding. But the real effect will be to literally stop another drop of fuel or another bullet from getting into the battle zone. So the Strykers run out of gas in the middle of a firefight or there is no resupply of bullets when Fallujah gets hot again. Troops are s'posed to yell BANG? What's Charlie RAngel going to say to the parents of kids he's responsible for killing? No. Wait. Let me guess: It's BUSH'S FAULT!

The Clintonistas, Jackass Party, are frustrated that there have been no terrorist attacks in the U.S. since 9/11/01. They want Bush to fail in the war on terror, because they think that will help them win elections. Which means they want our troops to fail; they want our troops to be killed and wounded in Iraq and hope that the U.S. will leave Iraq in defeat. The Democrats, lead by the Clintonistas, are allies of the terrorists.

Bill O'Reilly should use this one on his program.

This surprises you? They intended to do this all along. We must vote in November. Even if its a RINO hold your nose and vote for them.

Tell that to all the Republican voters who think a stint with the Dims in power will energize conservatives for the '08 elections.

This is the very same stunt the dems pulled with Vietnam.

They pulled the funds and forced Johnson to pull the troops out. In the meantime, it left our military without the equipment and supplies they needed.

But .. the dems "don't want to cut and run" .. well .. pulling funding does just that!

Wow. They sure don't hide it do they? God help us if they gain control. I'm not thrilled with the Reps, but they are infinitely better than the Dems.

Michael Savage was... I wanted to scream. I listen to him every night, and agree with much of what he says- but he's way off base on this one. He usually sees the Dems for what they are.

It is astounding how dangerous they are. Osama said our retreat from Somalia proved we were weak. I can't imagine how jubilant they would be if we bugged out of Iraq. God help us. The Dems sure don't.

Yep, I heard that also. Savage had the wool pulled over his eyes by Rangel, that's fer shure. Strange, because Mike is Public Cynic Number One.

I do forgive this lapse, however, because I love his show.

My guess is that the former party of truman looks at these polls, believe the election is a given, come to the conclusion that America agrees with them, so they think no problem for them to make bold statements like this. They are snatching defeat from the jaws of victory or something like that

“I can’t stop this war,” a frustrated Rangel said in a recent interview, reiterating his vow to retire from Congress if Democrats fall short of a majority in the House

And we say the Dems are the party of bad news! This is the best news I've had in years!

Wow, it would be just like Vietnam then!

Not exactly. The end of the Vietnam war had little effect on the daily lives of Americans at home - there were no VC blowing themselves up in our shopping malls and other public places - no rocket attacks on our airports or centers of commerce - no Asian religious fanatics demanding that the US adopt their legal system and that the American people convert to their religion.

They just wanted us out of their country.

I was referring more to Congress cutting off the funding to the South Vietnamese after we withdrew, who then fell to and were slaughtered by the northern vietcong, along with Cambodia.

In that sense, you are correct.
