The other 229 (and 17 Republicans) stood with the terrorists.

Unless things have changed, beware:

I sent one to Cynthia McKinney that was forwarded to my Congressman, Ralph Hall. It seems that these emails request your zip code

Ralph called me, and I was red in the face.

Bottom line is that unless you live in the district of the traitors who voted for defeat in Iraq and the middle east, the traitors could give a.

[kickme]

Egads..........I'm trying to remember when we've publically humiliated ourselves so badly. I can't think like these Dems and the stupid Repubs......

Ahhhh, let's think this through....we can fight 'em there, or we will have to fight 'em here. Ah, there, here.....help me out...... seems like a no brainer....but I have no brains. They are clearly saying: "Iran....just toast us.

Pray, that's all that's left.

There are people running our gov't who are playing politics with the lives of our troops, the lives of the people of Israel, and our lives.

[firebrand]

Bears repeating:

"This strategy [of sneakily defunding the troops] is already well underway. In acting on the Omnibus spending bill, the Congress has cut the Army budget for BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure) in half. Since BRAC is mandated by law, the Army will have to move money from other accounts in order to meet the BRAC statuatory requirements. One way they have done this is to inactivate the 1st Brigade, 1st Armored Division rather than to move this brigade from Germany to Fort Bliss (this brigade is just now returning from a tour in Iraq). This will make the brigade unavailable for a return deployment to Iraq when their turn next comes.

"Democrats are also moving to remove funding for an Army Stryker Brigade's equipment from the Supplemental Funding bill. This means that this brigade cannot convert as scheduled and therefore will not be available for deployment to Iraq.

"Their scheme is very transparent to those who understand, but is designed to fool the American people by saying that they are 'supporting the troops' and 'funding the troops'. Neither statement is true today, nor will it be true tomorrow. They are supporting the enemy, of that there is no doubt."

I would venture to say that it is just as important to communicate with Congress about stopping such shenanigans as it is to censure them for voting for the nonbinding resolution.

[xmission]

Lieberman is on our side of this one.

Replublicans in those districts with Republicans who voted with the Democraps Democrats to surrender America will B!TCH and MOAN about things but they'll be wearing a burka before they'll miss their Tee Vee show and go out and work on local campaigns where all this is starts.

IF YOU WANT CHANGE, GET OFF YOUR @$$ AND DO SOMETHING LOCALLY !

In other words organize and get those RINO's out of office and replaced with real conservatives.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

You mean "True" Conservatives like RON PAUL?

Check the list, what do you think about that?

[mystery-ak]

Here's the letter I sent to my POS Republican Congressman..


I called your office today and now I am writing you. I was sickened by your vote today. You stood with Pelosi instead of our REPUBLICAN President and the troops. My husband and son are in Iraq. How DARE you NOT SUPPORT THEM!!!!...I will never forget this vote and will do everything one person can do to unseat you.

[DakotaRed]

All of them who voted for this surrender declaration have condemned our grandchildren to fighting these animals later, when they are much stronger and even more blood will be shed.

[Mr. Jeeves]

You mean "True" Conservatives like RON PAUL?

Check the list, what do you think about that?

The difference is that Ron Paul doesn't vote this way to be temporarily popular with swing voters - he does it out of a deeply held conviction that fixing the world's problems is none of our business. One can disagree with his principles, but unlike the rest of the list, at least he has some.

[xmission]

Seems Murtha calls this a "slow bleed". Disgusting what this guy will do to weaken his country, and put the troops at a disadvantage. It's repulsive that he'd use the word blled here.

Can't tell you how sickened I am after listening to almost all of the "First step in retreat debate"

[lowbridge]

1. Congress and the American people will continue to support and protect the members of the United States Armed Forces who are serving or who have served bravely and honorably in Iraq; and

And? And? That should be replaced with a "but..."

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

He won't get a free pass no matter how you sugar coat it.

[RebelTex]

33,061 people have signed The Pledge thus far. Will you?

If the United States Senate passes a resolution, non-binding or otherwise, that criticizes the commitment of additional troops to Iraq that General Petraeus has asked for and that the president has pledged, and if the Senate does so after the testimony of General Petraeus on January 23 that such a resolution will be an encouragement to the enemy, I will not contribute to any Republican senator who voted for the resolution. Further, if any Republican senator who votes for such a resolution is a candidate for re-election in 2008, I will not contribute to the National Republican Senatorial Committee unless the Chairman of that Committee, Senator Ensign, commits in writing that none of the funds of the NRSC will go to support the re-election of any senator supporting the non-binding resolution.

The NRSC Pledge

I sent a message to Ray Lahood about my anger and frustration. He's a respected member of Congress, yet where was his voice on this issue? I didn't read it any where. He has to stop "playing nice" and attack the Dims at every opportunity he can find. On any issue, with a clear message that as long as this Congress undermines our Commander-In-Chief and the troops he commands there will be hell to pay on getting anything done....not based upon partisan politics, but based upon the basic truth that traitors, such as those that voted for this resolution, are totally unworthy of respect and any willingness to work together.

[zook]

Who were the two brave Dems who voted no?

[MizSterious]

I'm furious. I can't say more until I cool down, else I'll be banned for life. Scum. All of them.

[zook]

Ooops. Just noted it at the top.

[Texas Mom]

You mean "True" Conservatives like RON PAUL?

Ron Paul just got himself on my list. I'm finished with him. He can just go get his Libertarian Buddies to work their butts off for his election.

As for him running for President, I will work and support anyone who runs against him in the Primaries and if by a snowballs chance he should win the primaries I will not vote.

I am livid about this and have sent him an email telling him.

Told him to go back to delivering babies.

Noted and bookmarked. Thank you.
