2006 Election, there were more Democrats elected to Office…BLUE DOG Democrats. The far left socialist wing of the Democrat party, would like everyone to forget that. These Blue Dogs Dems, have to answer to their constituents, to hold onto their Congressional seats, NOT Move On, NOT The Daily Kos. This is why the Democrats, have not been able to pass a Bill to pull the troops out of Iraq. Not that Dems, want to pull the troops out, it is all politics, they all know whoever wins the 2008 Presidential Election, is not going to pull the troops out…their political excuse will be, the actions of the last Administration, will have reduced their choices. The Dems usually escalate Wars not end them. Remember Vietnam, Johnson (D) didn’t end the conflict, Nixon (R) did. Who sent us into Bosnia? I’ll give you a hint a Democrat, he was described as a Hawk.

Michelle Malkin has the story. The Dream Act, not for your legal daughter or son attempting to attend college, but tuition benefits for illegal aliens, is back in Senate. Sponsored by Dick Durbin, and co-sponsored by a list of other senators (see Mic…

Pure crap.

The Democrat White Flag strategy is to punish the troops just when the counterinsurgency/surge measures are showing signs of success:

The counter-arguments:

* The Republican (whatever color flag) strategy is to allow Al Qaida, the real one run by BinLaden, to operate freely in parts of Pakistan while committing US forces to a civil war in Iraq.

* Republicans support the troops by extending their tours of duty, cutting their benefits, scrimping on armor. Democrats support them by pulling them out of a conflict where they are more likely to die than to win.

* According to MM and the rest of conservative blogosphere, US troops always are on the verge of winning. They’ve been on that verge for the past 4 years. Yet the Iraqi government is disfunctional. The only peace comes from this or that sectarian militia.

That lack of scoring is evidenced in approval ratings. If Congress’s approval ratings were any lower, the scoreboard would need to have a minus sign installed. You’re in charge of this unapproved Congress; how can you assume that the people are going to want more of you? You’re running the same play that you ran several months ago, and you already acknowledge its end this time will be more funding. Why waste the time to do it then? We, the refs, are calling you for offensive holding, and, the last time I checked, that loses yardage.

Try funding the troops to excess so that they can do their %&#! job. After all, I thought you liked spending too much of our money. One of your complaints from years ago was that we hadn’t sent enough troops to do the job; maybe you were right on that one. Try reminding us that you said that and insist on supporting this surge! Then we’ll win, and you’ll be able to bring the troops home as you have promised. Then you’ll score some approval touchdowns. Duh?

The way the dems are going, we should propose a new pollution control… on all the speech exhaust from this bunch of gasbags.

But don’t question their…never mind.

NO! Let’s not “never mind”. Speak your mind. That is what we love about you. Bring it on Michelle. We have never known you to hold back.

Shoot, I will say it for you – I question their patriotism. Anybody else?

Yeah. The left supports the troops. Whatever.

Democrats will hold war funding hostage

Who’s playing politics with the war? You tell me:
…

Give our men what they need. It stinks that as a parent of a deployed soldier I can’t trust Congress to give our men what they need and when they need it.

Thank you for supporting them. Yeah. I forgot you don’t support the war. So, you will screw around with the funding and possibly in the process jeopardize vital missions and soldiers’ lives, but you support them — the troops. America’s sons and daughters who have put their lives on hold and in danger for their fellow Americans… you know people like you.

Now, I do have one request. Would someone please give me a Democrat dictionary? I am still trying to figure out what their definition of support is!

Sincerly,
A soldier’s mom
