It would be a better show if we didn't have to listen to any liberal psycho babble.

Unswayed by anti-war passions, President Bush will send 21,500 additional U.S. troops to Iraq and build the American presence there toward its highest level to quell worsening bloodshed. The move puts Bush on a collision course with the new Democratic Congress and runs counter to advice from some senior generals.
Set to announce his decisions in a prime-time speech Wednesday night, Bush was to acknowledge making major mistakes in Iraq, primarily failing to deploy enough U.S. soldiers and demand more Iraqi troops and cooperation to confront the country's near-anarchy.
In advance of Bush's address, White House counselor Dan Bartlett said U.S. military operations have been "handcuffed by political interference by Iraqi leadership" — but now will proceed under rules allowing troops to confront Shiite militias as well as Sunni insurgents.

The new Democratic leaders of Congress met with Bush and complained afterward that their opposition to a buildup had been ignored. "This is the third time we are going down this path. Two times this has not worked," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. "Why are they doing this now? That question remains."
Senate and House Democrats are arranging votes urging the president not to send more troops. While lacking the force of law, the measures would compel Republicans to go on record as either bucking the president or supporting an escalation.

"If they cut off funding I think the Rats and MSM would be more stunned than the military supporters because they wouldn't be seeing the immediate withdrawal like they were expecting and then they're stuck being labeled anti-military based on their vote."
If they cut off funding, the NY Times will try to spin it as Bush is responsible for the cutoff of funds.
No you idiot...they hammered enough simple minded people like you with their false polls til the voters actually believed them.
Which primary? Which race?

Well I didn't believe them. I voted straight Republican ticket. Did you?
Great response, txradioguy. I doubt it will help someone who refuses to study history or learn the facts about current events, but one hopes at least one of today's Moonbats may grow up to become an intelligent, well informed person.
I do not understand. If you did not believe the poll, why bring it up? Call me confused. Yes, I voted a straight ticket.
You keep trying to cinvince us how much of a Republican you are.
I think you're trying way to hard to make us believe that.
Yes I voted straight Republican.
But I don't feel the need to run around telling everyone that I did.
"The friggin Dems took control of Congress" because too many "true conservatives" stayed home.
Amen to that.
"Here's my plan.
If Baghdad doesn't shape up, build a new capital in a more salutary location."
That is an awesome idea. It would definately show a new era and leaving the old regime behind.
Duncan Hunter has the right stuff. A great Republican
