Hunter calls for Reid to step down over 'war is lost' remarks
CNN ^ | 04/25/2007

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Rep. Duncan Hunter called Wednesday for Sen. Harry Reid to resign his post as Senate majority leader over remarks that the senator made last week that the war in Iraq "is lost" if the United States continues on its current policy.

Hunter, a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, is the ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee.

"In my opinion Sen. Reid, having made that statement, which can only have a demoralizing effect on our troops and an effect of encouragement of the adversary, I think it would be appropriate for Sen. Reid to resign his position as the leader of the United States Senate," he said.

No, just Hunter is.

“Duncan Hunter: The best man for President.”

I hope this call for Reid to step down becomes a war chant!

It’s about time someone in the Republican party grew a pair!

You are so right. I emailed my Senator Richard Lugar about Reid's statement. But, as usual, he is still looking for his pair. No reply from him..no public statement condemning Reid.

Maybe if the Republican senators were flooded with emails demanding that Reid step down they would be compelled to repeat Hunters’s words!

About time a REPUBLICAN made that comment -- I've been saying the same thing ever since listening to Reid's comment.

Shoot, let's not wimp out on this, but keep the pressure up on Reid, until he resigns or is censured.

I would also very much like to see an investigation into his background, and see what sort of connections he has to terrorist organizations. I'm sure he's on somebody's payroll...

Reid used to be a “moderate”. At least he wasn’t a moonbat, until he became Majority Leader.

The problem is that he’s not up for re-election until 2012.

“If Hunter ever wants a real chance to be President, he’s going to have to start calling ‘em like it is!”

I missed the news on others calling Reid on the carpet. Please list all of the others who have said anything about Reid’s remark.

I bet we could raise exactly what the RudyBots tell us we need to get Hunter elected.

Minus of course, the amount he needs for "re-imaging". LOL

You insult Benedict Arnold with that graphic. Arnold was a genuine patriot and war hero before he turned tratior. When was Reid?
