"BAGHDAD JIM" MCDERMOTT SPONSORS RESOLUTION TO RESCIND AUTHORIZATION FOR WAR
03/26/03 | Patriot62

Posted on 03/26/2003 8:02:41 AM PST by Patriot62

Our very own Congressman, "Baghdad Jim" McDermott had a rough evening. A substantial group of Patriotic Americans (Spurred on by KVI's John Carlson) crashed his scheduled appearance outside the Federal Building in Downtown Seattle last night. A surprisingly small crowd of about 250 Anti-America demonstrators were suddenly inundated by about 150 Pro-America demonstrators just minutes before McDermott took the podium.

McDermott seemed to be taken aback by the boisterous crowd holding We Support Our Troops signs and chanting USA!...USA! McDermott stated that the Anti-America movement was actually pro-troops because they don't want our soldiers to get hurt, while the insensitive pro-America crowd callously advocates sending our troops into harm's way. Using that logic, perhaps we should keep our police officers at the police station, after all one could get hurt stopping a robbery. Responding to the boos and taunts of the crowd, McDermott finally blurted out "If you hypocrites really support this war you should go straight down to the recruiting office and sign up for duty!"

So we have a congressman who believes that only those in the military have the right to advocate on foreign policy matters, if only it were so. Nonetheless, Mcdermott's insinuation that only those who serve in the military have the right to comment on matters of war effectively disenfranchises the other 99% of us who are not in the armed services.

As a stunned McDermott left the rally, one of his constituents greeted him "Thanks for coming, Traitor!" What a great moment in American History.

Last week McDermott again brought honor to our state by voting no on a congressional resolution supporting our troops, the resolution passed by an overwhelming 392-11. McDermott is at it again today, co-authoring a resolution to rescind authorization for the war in which we are currently engaged. Shouldn't McDermott's photo be placed in the dictionary right next to the word despicable?

"Bagdad Jim" is a psychiatrist who has, I'm afraid, caught all his own diseases.

You may be sure the black caucus will support him 100% as well as a few other dummies.

How about a resolution that says NO DO OVERS?

Our fallen servicemen & women don't get one. :-(

McDermott finally blurted out "If you hypocrites really support this war you should go straight down to the recruiting office and sign up for duty!"

Someone should have yelled back, "Ok, it's a deal, I will sign up if you leave right now for Baghdad to be a human shield."

Clearly the crowd rattled this POS.

It is soooo time to clean the cockroaches out of offices for 2004. America will be greater than ever when we eliminate the anti-American scum from offices, like jim boy.

"Aye, Dr. McCoy, I've never trusted that Jim McDermott. What do you think will come of him?"
"He's dead, Scotty."

That like saying you support firefighters but don't want them to put out fires.

Patriot, I know it's impossible for a Republican to beat McDermott, since his district voted like 75% for Gore, but aren't there any non-traitorous Democrats who could run against him in the primary? Just like we needed a Dem to get rid of Jihad Cindy, we may need a Dem to get rid of Baghdad Jim.

What we need to find are statements in which Patty "Osama Mamma" Murray supports McDermott. That kind of crap may help Murray in socialist Seattle proper, but will be political posion for her in the suburbs and in the Cascades. If she has to waste time backtracking on her past support for McDermott, she won't be able to devote as much time to making people forget her pro-Osama comments. Jennifer Dunn will kick Murray's butt out of the Senate and she'll have to go back to wearing old tennis shoes.
