The good folks of the fifth congressional district in Minnesota that elected Keith, based on his get-out-of-Iraq-now platform, are upset about his vote to fund the war along with a pull-out date in the future. They want no more funds and an immediate pull out. They're not happy with Keith.

I know it's dated tomorrow.....It will be in print in tomorrow's opinion section. You get to see it first, right here....

Ellison's peace is Allah's peace; a world devoid of non-believers.

Here's a snip from an on-line letter to the editor and, of course, Keith.

"I, along with many who oppose the Iraq War, was disappointed to see U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison vote for the supplemental funding bill passed in the House last Friday.

Democrats celebrated the legislation as a step toward ending the war because it put a timetable on troop deployment. However, the bill provides an additional $123 billion for the war and guarantees the troops will be there until September 2008. Any vote for further funding is a pro-war vote because it allows the unjust and immoral occupation to continue.

Ellison was elected to Congress on the strength of his "troops out now" position and his strongest supporters have been the anti-war movement. He promised not to vote for any further funding and he broke that promise. Ellison should be warned: You cannot oppose the war and continue to fund it. We will remember your refusal to represent your constituents and your failure to stand up to political pressure."

"This vote is only one more step toward peace"

This Muslim congressman is willing to let his al-Qaeda friends achieve victory in the Middle East and he claims that his intentions are peaceful. I wish that these retards would be more honest about their treason.

"The people of Fifth District sent me to Washington to end the war in Iraq"

I can only hope that the people of the Fifth District and he are the first to be beheaded when the Islamic terrorist take over. I SPIT on these people and their Nazi ancestors.

I say: He is worse, stockpirate. He is a killer of American troops and the murderer of a generation of American children yet to come.

These Socialist left wing pieces of scum are making Democrats look really, really bad, and I do in fact love that fact.

I hope they just can keep it up for two more years.

After the anti-war march on Saturday here in DC, I think the message was sent loud and clear.
