But at least Talk Radio is off the bench. With nothing else to talk about, they are finally having to get into the fight on Iraq. Interesting thing is since then, the Democrat position on Iraq is LOSING votes.
They passed the 1st bill but then could not override the Pres. NOW they cannot even pass the bill.
Time is not on the Democrat’s side on this. Really wonder what Harry will do now. Wonder if they will really go for cutting off the Iraq funding? They will lose ALL the “Moderates” on that so they don’t have the votes for that either but at least they can tell their insane wing of their base “we tried”.
Seems Harry is just too dumb to know when to simply fold a losing hand and move on.
MSM as usual was silent not to report the shame.
Notice how quiet the DBM wing of the DNC has been about the “August recess” of our esteemed [sptt] Congress. They will be leaving DC next Thursday at the latest - still July — and returning after Labor Day == month of September.
If the tables were reversed, the DBM would be calling this a three month vacation, using the math that Harry Reid used when he whined about “2 whole days” debating the cloture motion, when it was less than 24 hours of talking.
Harry will keep trying every trick he can.
He and his gang are willing to join in the enemy in propaganda and political means to hurt this country.
His pathetic pandering to the enemy is born of nothing more than pure hatred of Bush and America.
Notice how when the Dems fail to get something passed it’s reported as “Congress fails” rather than “Dems fail”.
“Seems Harry is just too dumb to know when to simply fold a losing hand and move on.”
And he’s from Vegas no less ;-)
In our opinion, of course, it is not a winner, and the dems could very well lose big because they’re betting their wad that this horse will win for them.
Still, I hear people complaining all the time about the war—and this is in Alabama, a very pro-military and Pres Bush state. The talk that these, I don’t know what to call them, pro-losers? Anti-Iraq war?
Anyway, the talk usually focuses on the fact that in there minds too many guys have been killed, followed by no reason to be there after Saddam was disposed, finished up with we should just nuke the whole place.
I debate them and basically tell the truth, specifically:
-We ARE winning
-We’ve had a remarkable number of LOW casualties—lower than ANY war in history, given the number of troops involved
-Pres Bush said in his speech to Congress and the nation on 21 Sep 2001 that this war would be unlike any other. That fighting would take a long time, probably beyond his administration
—Now, given that you cheered this speech then, and you agreed to buck it up and let America do what the Pres said needed to be done, even if it took a long time, why are you NOW throwing in the towel? (this is very effective here in Bush country—it reminds them that they too made a commitment and to back out now is reneging on that)
-Do you really believe everything you see and hear on the driveby media newscasts? Remember how you scorn their Leftist bias? Is it possible the DBM might be exaggerating the “failures” of this war to discourage you?
-Talk to a soldier, Marine, Sailor or airman whose been there. Ask them what they think about the mission, and whether we’re succeeding or not.
He can't. There is too much pressure (and money) from Democrat Party supporters. Excerpt from interview with Buzz Patterson:
"The Left’s campaign against America’s War on Terror is a well-coordinated, well-financed operation that involves individuals and institutions from all parts of our society. Leading Democratic politicians, major media outlets, academia, popular culture, and a host of deep-pocketed radical organizations combine to form a Fifth Column that undermines our military’s heroic efforts in this global campaign."
Harry Reid is just a tool.
