I totally agree.
And just look how emboldened the antiwar protesters are getting.
RINOs are better than Rats any day. It would be easier to get rid of RINOs in 2008 than the Rats, and gain back the majority.
If the MSM weren't so biased, we would have kept our majority.
Now I predict there will be a Rat in all three Houses after '08. I say this because those who stayed home last election will stay home again because they won't see a viable Presidential Pub candidate. Then our troops will really suffer.

Here's my letter to the editor today praising Congressman Davis 1st TN who was publically critized for "wrapping himself in the flag" and standing up for the war and America.
"In an era where left wing pacifists drool at the possibility of an American defeat in a war,
In an era where the treasonous Code Pink organization harangues terribly wounded soldiers as they come and go from the very gates of Walter Reed Army Hospital,
In an era where the Democrat Congress seems hell bent to side with our terrorist enemies,
It is great to have a Congressman who will wrap himself in the flag and publicly recite the values that have made America great.
He must be complimented for his action and encouraged to enter the capital and daily endure the stench rising from the liberal side of the aisle."
Thank you for letting me know this - I really do appreciate it. Well, let me make a correction then:
Congressmen who willfully take action during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs, and should be arrested, exiled or hanged." --

I should have checked the quote. I have a tendency to accept things at face value. I attribute honesty to others when perhaps I shouldn't. Thank you again.
They have no clue - just that they need political capitol, something they always will lack.
Thanks LVD.
I agreed with almost everything that Rep. Kingston had to say on Hardball, with one notable exception: I am one of those National Guardsmen that has been extended here in theater, and I can tell you honestly that it is NOT just "fresh troops" that are tasked in this surge. We have been on the ground here for about a year now, and we would dearly like to go home. The surge has extended us for about 4+ months. Add that to the 6+ month trainup (which was also time spent away from our loved ones) and it totals approximately 23 months of time spent away from our families and our civilian careers. None of our active duty counterparts have shouldered this much time away from their families including the 172nd Striker Brigade, who were extended last summer.
Now...this doesn't mean that we do not support our commander in chief. Far from it, we will charlie mike(continue mission) because that's what good soldiers do. And every last one of us here are part of a voulnteer service, so it is not like someone forced us to be here. However, I hope that our senior leaders in Washington recognize the sacrifice my national guardsmen and women have made in this fight. When all is said and done, the 1/34th BCT will have been the longest deployed unit in the Iraq War since the invasion in 2003.
Having said that, please understand: I share Rep. Kingston's feelings about a democratic majority in congress that cannot seem to generate any valid or helpful ideas of their own. They ran on a wholesale platform of criticism about how the republican controlled government has been committed to the wrong course of action in the war, but they have offered no valid or constructive options of their own. They need to stand up and be responsible to the people who voted them into office and start generating helpful and useful legislation that will outline a clear course of action in the future. Continuing to play defense and try to limit the options of the CinC is not constructive, it is just another tired reiteration of the political blame game.
And the MSM is so busy reporting on Anna Nicole that they will conveniently put this little, insigificant story below the cut line and it will be buried.
Brilliant plan, in a Dick Morris sort-of way, devious, evil, but brilliant!
New tires and a paint job is just not going to do it.
I remember that day. I had the honor of being one of the veterans who stood beside her on stage the day she originally said it.
She really never needed to apologize, since the media never broadcast or quoted her original statement. It was the truth of those words, Lincoln's or not, that terrified the media that day.
Whether Lincoln said it or not, and it can't be proven either way, his actions as President bear out his belief in those words, with only the possible exception of the hanging part.
Obama is part of the plan. Hillary is the convient distraction for them to push a guy like Obama.
