To those who are crying about the money the President asked for. I ask what is the alternative? Do you want us to cut and run or what?

To those that are crying that we should spend the money Bush asked for and more on Iraq. I ask, do you have the courage of your convictions to call for a tax hike to pay for what you think is so important?

No I won't ask for a tax hike. The President has one obligation to the country and that is to protect us from all threats whether foreign or domestic. This "War on Terror" fits the bill in my opinion. We need to cut programs not increase taxes.
