I wonder if Senator Byrd who believes in something called a "white nig_er" thinks that those who go to war with terrorists are the same?

Over the cliff, over the cliff, waaaaaayyyyyy over the cliff...

"Is this the beginning of another Vietnam? Or are the Democrats toying with throwing themselves off a political cliff?"

Democrats can’t afford to go all wobbly, especially now.”

Hey, wait a minute. That's all the Democrats are good at!

"It's really dissapointing and may be a key reason why the idea of Term Limits has such broad appeal to Republicans and Democrats alike."

If you want term limits (as do I), the best way to achieve them is to reduce the Democrat party to a pitiful rump of itself in the next three elections (2002, 2004, 2006).

Perhaps, this will force the few remaining Democrats to rearrange their priorities, cleanse themselves of their moronic liberalism...and embrace term limits as a route back to power.

Okay, I understand that you are the same a$$-clown who was booted off yesterday for this same crap (you shouldn't use the same screen name pattern, you know). So, you thought you'd be cute and sign up yesterday under a different name. Cute. Okay, I suppose I'll have to deal with it.

At least before I go and tell JimRob that the trash needs to be taken out again.

At any rate, clueless DemocraticUnderground member, you fail to realize in all your ranting that we are in a state of permanent war with the terrorist international AND the states that sponsored them. You see, unlike the amateurish crowd that ran the White House during the past eight years, we Republicans understand that this is total war. We are up against an enemy that will use any, repeat, any weapon against our people. That includes nuclear devices.

As a Democrat, you cannot be expected to understand military affairs, so try to fathom this: the threat is not from al-Qaeda alone. It is also from any state, such as Iraq, that is trying to obtain Weapons of Mass Destruction. Iraq loves al-Qaeda, so that they might use them as a "cutout" to attack the United States with a WMD and maintain plausible deniability.

It is not a matter of killing bin Laden, al-Zawahiri, or Mullah Omar, although that would be nice. Rather it is a question of remaining on a permanent offensive until al-Qaeda is eliminated as a fighting force.

Now, clueless Democrat, go back to DU while you have the chance. Or at least, before I spank you again.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

I'm not. FreepReaper is a brownshirt like the rest of the DU crowd. You can't reason with them; that I understand.

Which is why JimRob classifies them as "disruptors"

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Does it ever occur to you that thousands more will die in suicide bombs ON AMERICAN SOIL unless we cause so much damage to them that it is no longer worth it to them?

It is called DIS-INCENTIVE or removing their MOTIVATION

PLEASE!! God gave you a brain, use it.

Daschle isn't even talking to his own people. The truth reflected in the 80% approval ratings for President Bush really sunk in for me when the other day, without prompting, a typical Dem (single, late thirties, woman, city dweller) told me, "I didn't vote for him, but I really like President Bush, I have to admit. I like the way he's handling things. He makes me feel like he's in charge."

And Daschle wants to disrupt that sense of safety and control that the Bush Adminstration is providing? It WILL backfire.

"Democratic Party"

Excuse me, but that's the DEMOCRAT PARTY - because there is nothing democratic about them.

“We seem to be good at developing entrance strategies, not so good at developing exit strategies,” opined Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia.

Well, I have to agree with him there. We've got troops in Korea, 50 years on, and we're still in Bosnia and Kosovo and.....

LOL That's exactly what I thought. The Dems must be having nightmares ... no, wait, they are the nightmare.

"it is not as amzing as the Pubbies not realizing the depths to which the Dems would sink"

This statement is so telling - I am just about finished reading "At any Cost; How Al Gore Tried to Steal the Election". It was good I waited a year to read it, because it is making my blood boil. But, I have read several times in this book that James Baker and a couple of other aides really let the dems have it. It seems to me, from this book, the Bush admin is well aware of what the dems are up to and well aware they are willing to do whatever it takes "at any cost". Every Republican should read this book!!

However, the President is committed to a new tone and I know he realizes they will use a tough tone against him.

I also believe what the author says about this war. The public is in favor of it and the media is not going to be able to change the public's mind. I truly believe the dems have sunk their own ship.

Rush was right again! The dems have become funnier the farther they get from power.
