All I can say is this:

"Congressmen who willfully take action during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs, and should be arrested, exiled or hanged." -- Abraham Lincoln

They. Have. No. Power. When. It. Comes. To. The. Military.

It's literally taking quite a lot of restraint to not curse and act out at work. It's also taking a lot of willpower to not string together a plethora of verbal razors aimed at the Democrats. (I just thought of verbal razors from a song)

Just insert whatever random profanity comes to mind after the periods.

Watch this Hardball debate to get a sense of how easy the Rats are over this policy direction

Rep Kingston was very very good. THIS is how to slam the Rats. They want to backseat drive now that they are in the driver's seat.

Time for the Republicans to get out in front of this. They must make it clear that the Democrats are seeking to prevent the relief of our fighting men in the field, exposing them to needless hazard. We need to make ready with the sob stories about how soldier So-and-So has been deployed in Iraq for over a year, but he won't be able to come home if the Democrats have their way.

These are just some of the groups Murtha and the dems are in bed with:

Americans Against Escalation in Iraq is a coalition of: SEIU, MoveOn.org Political Action, Center for American Progress, USAction, Win Without War, Vote Vets, Campaign for America's Future, and USSA

These groups are fronting for and entertwined with other more well known groups like Code Pink and United for Peace and Justice.

This is a cynically clever strategy. However, it should be easy to demonstrate that attempting to limit troop deployment by suggesting they are not ready is really just another way of denying funding. The outcomes to troop safety and morale are identical.

I hope they try this. The American people are not so stupid. They will see this back door attempt to cut funding of troops and create a backlash.

How do they expect anybody to 'win without war'?

They don't understand negotiations. They understand death and destruction. It should be our responsibility to bring death and destruction to them.

"Top House Democrats, working in concert with anti-war groups,"

The Majority of Anti-War groups are COMMUNIST, or communist/funded.

So the "Democrat Leadership" is working hand-in-hand with Communists and Radical Socialist against America, fpr short-term political gains without regard to the long-term effect.

Somehow, I'm no longer surprised by that.

WILL NONE DARE CALL IT TREASON?

Agreed, they will be sorry if they actually try this. It may just be a BS buy-off to the whacko contingent, and they may never actually do any such thing.

The Democrat Party has a history of working with communist front groups going back at least 60 years or more.They always work against America.They just count on revisionist history, the leftist media, and the ignorance of succeeding generations to be blind to their treason.
