GOP in 2008 equals more BUSH Doctrine.

GOP = IRAQ

Al Queda is in Iraq because of BUSH CHENEY - MORONS!!!

THANKS BUSH AND CHENEY for telling us how far to bend over this summer for $4.00 a gallon gas!!!

It's no coincidence that we are getting #$%^&'d by OIL COMPANIES when their top cronies are in the White House.

If we are not out of Iraq or Afghanistan by 2008 and a Democrat gets elected to President, we wont leave at that time either. Come on libs, who do you think your kidding here. Its either a viet-nam style pullout on Bush's watch or nothing. This is the Democrat dirty little secret. In the mean time, make sure you vote for them anyway.........

"GOP Candidates Push Persistence In Iraq"

As a pusher on the street does with heroin.

Good choice of word.

They can push all they want.

Push will come to shove when a Democrat is inaugurated President in January 2009. The troops' withdrawal from Iraq will follow that.

"It is yet to be decided whether the Revolution must ultimately be considered as a blessing or a curse: a blessing or a curse, not to the present age alone, for with our fate will the destiny of unborn millions be involved."
George Washington, Circular to the States, 1783

"No country upon earth ever had it more in its power to attain these blessings than United America. Wondrously strange, then, and much to be regretted indeed would it be, were we to neglect the means and to depart from the road which Providence has pointed us to so plainly; I cannot believe it will ever come to pass."
George Washington, letter to Benjamin Lincoln, June 29, 1788

"Republicans are in a unique historical position. They are the first group of people raised on this land, who call themselves Americans, that openly proclaim the virtues of torture, secret prisons, extra judicial abduction, universal surveillance, and dictatorial government."

I will vote the candidate, Dem or Rep, who does not drag their religion into this election. I am so sick of hearing about their Hypocritical faith. If they claim to be a "true Christian", I do not want themas president.
Why? Because as the leader of the USA, he or she will have to make very Un-Christian decisions. They will have to order the death of thousands of people, possibly.
I don't want a freaking boy scout, and I don't need someone to lie and say what a good and devout christian they are.
I just wish a real candidate would step up. Someone who will say "Listen, my religion is my own *** business. It is private, personal, and has no bearing on how I run this country. Stay out of my faith and I won't stick my nose in yours. If elected, I promise to make decisions that will kill people. I will break commandents and disobey the teachings of Jesus. All for the better of this country."

The only one that made any sense at all is the one that doesn't stand a chance for just that reason, Ron Paul. The problem is that he's a dinosaur, a true conservative and a real republican, but the neoconservatives and the lunatics on the religious right stole the republican party right out from underneath the real republicans like him. Shame. Dam*n shame.

"Those who crusade, not for God in themselves, but against the devil in others, never succeed in making the world better, but leave it either as it was, or sometimes even perceptibly worse ... By thinking primarily of evil we tend, however excellent our intentions, to create occasions for evil to manifest itself in us."
Aldous Huxley

"We are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time: the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield."
George Orwell

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing."
Edmund Burke

"It is time to stop appeasing the dictatorship of George W. Bush and his henchmen."

This crowd of old wealthy white war-mongering jackass men is just what this country needs.

More war, more fear, more fake patriotism, more lies, more Orwellian NeoCon Nightmares.

When will Americans WAKE UP, and stop voting for Democrats and Rebuplicans who can't grasp that the world is falling apart from global warming, war, over population, outsourced jobs, the skyrocketing wealth gap... The Rich have been waging class warfare on the middleclass since Ronald Reagan came to power. Many working families pay a MUCH HIGHER rate of tax than the billionares who rake in millions in capitol gains from the stock market.

I doesn't have to be this way. Get off your lazy b*tts and take to the streets, town meetings, write to your newspapers, representatives.

JAIL BUSH JAIL CHENEY - they LIED us into a needless, horrific WAR

Who cares what they say. For the one chosen to run in the next election will be chosen by the viewers who watch Bill OReilly. He know all and speaks the truth. He is wise beyond comprehension. These fools will become puppets of the Fox News empire. I mean they already had their voice until he was silence by the democratic disease knowns as Cancer. But don't you worry because Bill Kristol will be at the helm for the next Repubican President. Oh yes once Murdoch by the Wall Street Journal more people will be sway to the one and true way of thinking.

A Democrat congress running the Iraq war
would be like a Democrat congress running the Vietnam war.

We all know what a mistake that was.

"SIMI VALLEY, California (Reuters) - Republican White House contenders offered a strong show of support for the military mission in Iraq during their first debate on Thursday and said U.S. troops should not come home until the war was won."

Keep talking, fools.

General Petraeus already said that a military victory in Iraq is impossible.

Keep talking like this right up to November 2008.

The American voters have you simpletons mugged and printed.
