"First, where is it written that Iraq alone turned the election?"

It is the only issue on which Democrats ran.

Americans voted for defeat. Really.

The military gets it. A wounded vet I met says the most important thing to do now is get out quickly, since the military effort does not have the support of the people. He doesn't want to lose any more buddies to a war the Democrats are committed to losing, and were voted into office for the purpose of losing.

It is wrong to lose a war on purpose. But it is a political fact that the voters want us to leave Iraq. The defeatist party was elected. Let them defund the troops and we'll all suffer the consequences. Get on with it.

It is the only issue on which Democrats ran.

The only issue the democrats ran on was Mark Foley.

“A wounded vet I met says the most important thing to do now is get out quickly”...” But it is a political fact that the voters want us to leave Iraq.”

Oh. Then by all means lets get out Brad!

Sorry Brad, but I don’t believe your “political fact”, as I am a voter, and I am also a veteran, but not a wounded one. But does “wounded vet” status trump my opinion? John McCain is a “wounded vet” and a former POW, so does his opinion trump your wounded vet? Neither of the two of us want out of Iraq. Maybe you could restate your opion to read “it’s a fact that the voters, less one or two, want us to leave Iraq”. At least then you you would be more accurate in your statement (democrat!).

SO HE SAID, WASHING HIS HANDS IN THE BLOOD OF THE PEOPLE HE CONDEMNED TO DEATH, OF THE BLOOD HE CAUSED TO BE SHED......

What if the rest of us - NOT a 51-49 vote margin of the Senate socialists, DON'T believe in washing our hands in blood again?
