- The best candidates for today's DemoCrap party would be Lenin & Marx.
The old democrat party of:
"Ask NOT what your country can do for you, but rather what YOU can do for your country"
no longer exists.
And instead has been replaced by the concept of Big Government.
...
PS
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

- It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! March 23, 1775 Patrick Henry

- Anyone concerned about paying too much taxes - for the war or anything else - listen up: you think you pay too much taxes now? Elect a Democrat President and watch your tax bill skyrocket. It amazing - it's illegal for your neighbor to steal your money, but it's not illegal for the government to increase your taxes and then give it away to your neighbor. I think they have a name for it: socialism. Be careful what you wish for...

- Appeal for Redress
Sign this Appeal.
This site is an Appeal For Redress in support of our mission in Iraq.
An Appeal For Redress is an authorized means for active duty military to submit a grievance to Congress. It can be signed by Active Duty, Reserve, or National Guard military personnel.
It is authorized by DoD Directive 1325.6 and DoD Directive 7050.6.
The wording of the Appeal for Redress is:
As an American currently serving my nation in uniform, I respectfully urge my political leaders in Congress to fully support our mission in Iraq and halt any calls for retreat. I also respectfully urge my political leaders to actively oppose media efforts which embolden my enemy while demoralizing American support at home. The War in Iraq is a necessary and just effort to bring freedom to the Middle East and protect America from further attack.
If you are active duty, reservist or national guard, please Sign this Appeal.
Most service members fully support the war in Iraq and feel calls to retreat by Congress and attacks by our media on our conduct and mission act to motivate our enemy while demoralizing our support at home, directly increasing the threat we face and resulting in greater American casualties. This Appeal for Redress provides a way in which individual service members can appeal to Congress to fully support us and actively oppose media attacks on our mission and our morale.
This Appeal will be delivered to members of Congress.

- What bothers me more than anything is THE PEOPLE want this to end. How can a president that was voted in by these people continue to do what he wants and not the people?

The problem is that Bush doesn't care what the people want. he has been told by his advisers, notably Cheney and Rove, that the president is something akin to a king and can do as he pleases. Of course this runs counter to what a president really is, an employee of the people and answerable to them most of all. In spite of what Bush has been told (and what a surprising number of his supporters seem to believe) he really must do as WE say, WE are HIS boss, not the other way around. - Reply to this comment
- IT IS TIME TO DEFEAT FASCIST NAZI ISLAM ONCE AND FOR ALL%u2026
In 1786, Thomas Jefferson, then U.S. ambassador to France, and John Adams, then American Ambassador to Britain, met in London with Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja, the Dey%u2019s ambassador to Britain, in an attempt to negotiate a peace treaty based on Congress%u2019 vote of funding. To Congress, these two future presidents later reported the reasons for the Muslims%u2019 hostility towards America, a nation with which they had no previous contacts.
%u2026that it was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman (Muslim) who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise.
Sound familiar?
Thomas Jefferson and James Madison defeated the fascist nazi muslims 200 years ago
And again 100 years ago with Theodore Roosevelt
Tunisia in 1881 by France and Libya in 1911 by Italy. By then most of the Islamic world was under Christian domination. With the Ottoman Empire defeated in WW1, secularist Turkish rebels in 1923 overthrew the last Islamic Caliphate,

- Everyone, even the Pres knows we need to get out of Iraq. However, this will remain big news until the elections are over to distract us from the real biggest problem facing our country. Democrat or Republican I don't plan on voting for anyone that doesn't have a stance on illegal immigration.

- Franklin D. Roosevelt's Infamy Speech
December 8, 1941/September 12, 2001
The facts of yesterday speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.
As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense.
Always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.
I believe I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again.
Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.
With confidence in our armed forces - with the unbounded determination of our people - we will gain the inevitable triumph - so help us God. - Reply to this comment
- Don't forget the $$$ cost of the war in Iraq. Bin Laden's stated objective is to run America to economic ruin. All wars create a temporary shot in the arm economically. In this case many of the companies who are profiting are off shore.

We couldn't have played into his hands any better--we sent troops over for him and his men to attack....OPEN TARGETS...something he did not have before we attacked Iraq! - Reply to this comment
