Republicans are prepared to fight a plan by Senate Democrats to cut $800 million from President George W. Bush

The DemonRats would kill their own mothers to shortchange military spending. Pulling this during wartime is truly treason.

When will the traitors start to be prosecuted and punished? Sure it will be painful. Sure there will be violent protests by all the malcontents we've allowed to build up in numbers like termites. And sure we may need to deal with them in ways that have not been seen in this country since the early 20th century. So what? Some things are more important than preserving the status quo.

How is this any more treasonous than Bushs' refusal to close the border, round up and deport all illegals and non-citizen undesireables, limit immigration and develope a civil defense plan during a time of war?

Dear GOP strategists,

Neutralize the DNC by circumventing their leverage in the aerospace industry. Since NASA grounded the Shuttle Program today, our national launch capability is back to pre 1981 levels. This means that the NMD/BMDO program needs launch capability.

Sources for launch vehicles are essentially tied into one corporate entity... Boeing. Lockheed/USA handles STS inspection and the fleet is now too old. The end result is that the US requires a new launch vehicle.

Please permit the free market to create a variety of commercial launch vehicles for the program. This program should create the next generation of aerospace vehicles which can lift payloads to low-earth orbit.

I never said it was. Trust me, there are some things about the "Bush Doctrine" that I am very disappointed in. I agree with the points that you mentioned, and I don't see any good coming out of publicly undermining Israel's war on terrorists while promising the Pallies a state regardless of the atrocities they commit.

There, feel better?
