It's been the talk of the day, and I can't imagine that it warms the average American's heart-- even if he does have reservations about the war-- to hear a top general who's clearly competent be trashed by the Democratic Party's anti-war movement surrogates.
Reid's baaaaacking away, after several Republicans called for him to do so (CNN):
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid expressed frustration Monday with a new print ad attacking Gen. David Petraeus that is being paid for by a liberal advocacy organization on the same day the general is providing testimony before Congress on the situation in Iraq.
When asked early this morning if this was the right message for his party to send, the Nevada Democrat curtly answered “No.”
In a separate conversation, a senior Democratic leadership aide called the ad an “unnecessary distraction” and said Democrats are prepared to focus on “Petraeus executing a mismanaged mission.”
A leftist? Overplay their hand? Say it ain’t so!
Every one in this country should know about this.
Trying to ping everyone to this delicious turn of events.
Tell hell with Reid, and what makes him think we don’t remember what he’s been up to for the last decade or so?
He backs away... sorry Reid, but you’ve got MoveOn.org’s stain all over your dress.
Ping everyone you know.
Nah, even Bubba said he loathed the military. They just screwed up by being honest.
Reid … wimp personified.
Tarbaby. Harry Tarbaby Reid. Moveon is stuck all over you Harry. Inhale their hate and venom. Live with it Harry. How does that state keep electing this creep?
“a liberal advocacy organization”? Yeah I guess the KKK in the 1920’s were “conservative lifestyle enthusiasts”.
Reid’s been back pedelling sice the “we’ve lost” press conference. Hard to tell who’s avoiding whom?
Right after the 2004 elections moveon said that they had bought the democrat party and that they owned it. So democrats try to distance yourself from the slime balls.
Hannity reported on radio today that some in the democrat leadership said they would not ‘trash’ General Petraeus,..that they had surrogates to do that. This whole thing was cooked by elected Contgressional democrats or the DNC. This is what they do.
If we had a government in this country that was worth anything, there would be an investigation into the morons at MoveOn to find up who they are working for and what they are up to. Unfortunately, America is now testosterone-free.
Can you imagine trying to talk common sense to these left wing kooks?
Reid called it an “unneccesary distraction”??
Kinda like Reid...
Pink foam tiaras with matching capes? Moaning like a birthing cow?
How could that be an “overplay?”
LOL
Go suck a lemon Harry
The Surge is Working and the Rats are in the Trap
Wonder who American will side with on this??
Pray for W and General Protectus
