Now the Sore Loser intends to starve the troops if he doesn't get his way???

[AlaskaErik]

I just got some retirement papers in the mail yesterday that indicated I had served honorably for 31 years, 9 months and 27 days. Never during that time did I ever feel that the Democrats cared one iota about the military.

[sappy]

Democrats. Doing the work Americans won’t do. Wasting everyones effing time.

Here is a post that needs to be refreshed. And this is a perfect thread for a repost:

Greetings from the FRONT LINE! By: David C. Osborne

Greetings from Baghdad, I trust this note finds you well.

Things in Baghdad are extremely complicated, and only the Lord knows what challenges each day will bring.

I wish it were possible to talk to every American citizen at one time, and ask youBEG YOU to not give up on ME.. I am fighting a terrible war, not against any nation or “army” but against an evil ideology (Satan Himself I believe) that is anti-American and anti-Freedom...

Few things in THIS life are worth fighting for, but in my opinion this IS one of those few things...

It is sad to see that some soldiers, and a growing number of American Citizens either do not understand this, or no longer believe that FREEDOM IS still worth fighting for.. I do not know what the future holds for us, but I SINCERELY believe that if WHEN the American people order us to stop fighting here in IRAQ, the battleground of our choosing.....

that in essence we will have allowed our ENEMY to select the battleground, perhaps, New York, Los Angeles, or maybe even Tallahassee...

In addition we will have abandoned the people that have lost the most in this war and that is the IRAQI PEOPLE..

I will not be able to look my Iraqi Soldiers in the eye (any one of whom would take a bullet that was meant for ME ).. and tell them “I am sorry, but my country has given up on you, Fi AMMAN ALLAH, which is an Arabic term for “Go with God”.

The Iraqi people desperately want security and stability... how many soldiers... how many nations.. how many American CITIZENS are willing to help them achieve that, AT ANY COST ! What is the “price tag” of freedom? I say that there IS no price tag, Freedom is NOT FOR SALE ! The enemy knows that without security and stability, Iraq will NEVER be FREE, and there is no DOUBT that the enemies of FREEDOM are committed to THEIR cause, my question for you is this... Are YOU as committed to Pro-American, Pro-Freedom values, as the enemy is to Anti-American, Anti-Freedom values? IF your answer is yes, please let me do MY JOB !!

If you know anyone who is on the fence and considering supporting this push for an “American SURRENDER to TERRORISM” please forward this note as a personal favor to me.

Thank you, and may God Bless all those who ALL OF THOSE who FIGHT for FREEDOM, and may God Bless the United States of America !!

It’s to the point where I cannot say anything about that man in words fit for polite company.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Official Majority Leader
of Democrat Senate

Not the best photoshop, but I'm just learning.

[Paperdoll]

Reid is a SOB of the first water. He should be immediately physically removed from his elected office!

[GretchenM]

Reid reminds me of Uriah Heep in Dickens' The Personal History, Adventures, Experience, and Observation of David Copperfield, the Younger.

[RaceBannon]

starved and defenseless

[Lucky9teen]

No words....

[jackv]

And congressional approval rating goes even below the 14% it is now??? Brilliant reid...just brilliant!!!

[TheDon]

How low can Harry’s numbers go!

[Zack Nguyen]

I must say I am impressed. The Republicans would never have done something so bold when they were in power. Sure we all think Reid is very wrong, but he is using his power as a leader should.

[M1Tanker]

So when the left uses filibusters to delay actions it is just fine, but when the republicans use it, then the left starves the troops?

Yet the left then complains that we do not have enough equipment, but they are the ones who deny the funding for it (the M1114 HMMWV was available in the late 90s, but never had procurement funds).

“Disgusting traitors” does not even BEGIN to describe my opinion of the left.

To Sen Reid:
A better action you should put forward is to answer, under oath, why the Federal Marshalls investigating the Senate have been re-assigned, fired, or otherwise removed from their jobs after they found out what you were really doing.....

[NRG1973]

Isn’t this the bill that funds the entire defense department? What if it does not pass by October 1st? Does the country’s defense system shut down?

It seems to me that Reid is really playing with fire on this one. Can you imagine what would happen if soldiers families don’t receive their paychecks? How about the military’s hospitals, etc?

[eleni121]

Dems have signed off on another hundred years of being the opposition.

I just hope the pubbies throw it in their smarmy faces every day during the campaign.

Jerks and traitors.

Rush on yesterday's show:

They don't think you're smart enough to understand that they are the ones who are trying to engineer a humiliating defeat for the United States for the simple purpose of pinning the loss on Bush. I've long been saying this, and I've been saying it since as a theory, but it much more acutely now. It is crystal clear to me what these people are doing. It's also crystal clear to me that they're tone deaf. It is crystal clear to me that their arrogance and condescension is such that it prevents them from seeing the mistake that they're making. Here we are in the middle of the surge. It's working. The boots on the ground everybody is talking about, are working. The Democrats are not the disputing these reports, by the way, from General Pace; yesterday the New York Times, Major General Rick Lynch. The Democrats -- well, they might tonight. It will be interesting to see. But so far they haven't disputed any of this.

They just ignoring it, and they're trying to create false news with the help of their buddies in the Drive-By Media. "It's all falling apart. It's so bad, we can't wait. We have to get out now!" What I want you to know is, the only reason we have to get out now is because if it's working -- and this, by the way, the NIE and these two statements from the two military guys in the past two days? They were the worst news the Democrats could have heard. That's why they're doing this all-nighter tonight. That's why here hoping it gets covered the way they want it covered: "Bash Bush! Blame Bush! Try to overwhelm the report of the surge being successful with another all-nighter of drum beating, doom and gloom, negative Bush-bashing," knowing fellowly the Drive-Bys are going to amplify it and cover it. Here's the point. Iraq will be a Bush and Republican loss -- even though the Democrats will have forced it -- if they succeed somewhere down the road the next year and a half. They're peeling off these Republican moderates. I'll get a little story on that as the program unfolds today. So far, they don't have the votes to cut off funding, and I don't think that they would ever do it if they did have the votes.

It wouldn't be veto proof. But this defeat, this theoretical defeat that they're seeking, and all the horror that will flow from it will be laid at the Republicans' feet. I'm telling you what this is. This is about one thing. It's about building a Democrat political agenda for the next 25 years. They're not going to lose the House again like they did in '94. They're not going to go through 14 years in the wilderness! That's not going to happen -- and they're not going to lose the Senate. It's not going to happen! So they're setting all this up. They gave it a shot with immigration. That was the Comprehensive Destroy the Republican Party Act of 2007. We staved it off, but these people are relentless. Their weakest point has been national security. They intent to manipulate the war effort to, in their minds, "fix" that. So, while embracing surrender and the anti-war movement and undermining the war, they expect to come out of this as the national security party -- and they can only do that with the help of the Drive-By Media and securing a loss. But I don't even think they can pull that off. I don't think there is any way that they can be seen as strong as national security, given the rhetoric and the votes and the way they have behaved in the first six and a half months of this Congress.
