		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;And you assholes did it for PARTISAN POLITICAL GAIN. Democrats want America to LOSE the war on terrorism, whether it is in Iraq or elsewhere. This is no longer about “dissent” or “politics,” it is about the TREASON of the Democratic Party.

Learn to love the epithet of TRAITOR, Democrat. You might as well, since you collectively live it, embrace it, and act it out.

		<description>It&#039;s time someone made a movie depicting the true story of what happend when Ted left Mary Jo Kopechne to drown . How he swam to his hotel and went to bed rather than inform anyone that she was under water. It is incomprehensible that he has remained a US Senator after that outrageous, self serving, irresponsible act. Younger people have no idea of the circumstances and it is time they did!</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Well explain then how most people rated their own and the country’s economy positively in the 80s? Where RR was president?

honora on January 10, 2007 at 11:28 AM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

So what you&#039;re really saying is that you only wanted to confirm what I predicted, that you&#039;d divert and dodge, rather than answer actual charges?  Notice that I started off my reply to you saying I wasn&#039;t going to waste my time, because I KNEW that&#039;s what you&#039;d do... but I just couldn&#039;t help myself, so I did give a semi-detailed explanation.. and that&#039;s your reply?  WTF!?  Do you see why I say I am done being respectful to Democrats and explaining things to them?  Are you really completely unaware of what a bit** move you just pulled?</description>

Yesterday, Sen. Ted Kennedy sought to undercut the President by offering his own sound byte: Iraq is Bush’s Vietnam. Not our Vietnam, as in we, the American people, but Bush&#039;s. Life must be something when you can rationalize like that....</description>

You are wasting your time georgej, honara thinks Churchill lost his election because of lack of central heating, that is how out of touch liberals are.  She represents the lost liberal souls, who think undermining the government to get votes is worth it.  Your post has all of the points to prove that.
Your accusations are their honor.</description>

Whoops, wrong Kennedy.  Sorry about that.  I guess the U.S. from 1961 was a scary neo-con driven nightmare...</description>

		<description>Honora stupidly writes: &quot;...how Dems have in any way adversely affected the conduct of the war in Iraq?&quot;

1. By ILLEGALLY leaking to the press the CLASSIFIED program of incarcerating captured Al Qaeda operatives in foreign countries. 

2. By ILLEGALLY leaking to the press the CLASSIFIED NSA program to track Al Qaeda operatives around the world, including Iraq and Afghanistan.

3. By ILLEGALLY leaking to the press the CLASSIFIED SWIFT program that tracked Al Qaeda financial fund transfers.

4. By the discovery of a Rockerfeller memo that detailed exactly HOW the Democratic Party would undermine and sabotage the war effort in order to regain power.  Zell Miller, former Democratic Senator called it treason, if not it&#039;s first cousin.

You wanted to know how the actions of your party affected operations in Iraq? YOUR party committed 4 illegal acts that not only interfered with operations not only in Iraq and Afghanistan, but around the entire world.

And you assholes did it for &lt;em&gt;PARTISAN POLITICAL GAIN&lt;/em&gt;.  Democrats want America to LOSE the war on terrorism, whether it is in Iraq or elsewhere. This is no longer about &quot;dissent&quot; or &quot;politics,&quot; it is about the TREASON of the Democratic Party.

		<description>The decisions are Bush&#039;s, the lack of support and undercutting is from the liberals.  If we were united, and just not interested in &quot;getting votes&quot; we would have been on top of this war.  Instead we are fighting two fronts, the one over there and the one over here.  Votes should be secondary to us winning the war, but hey, the Dems are in control so it must be right, right?  Wrong!

&lt;blockquote&gt;Try this in your own life: make a big mistake at work... honora on January 10, 2007 at 2:35 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

If you put a marketing plan (no matter what the plan is) together at work, and your fellow employees go to the competitor and your customers and tell them you are wrong, incompetetent, stupid and a liar, guess who gets fired.

Thanks for the analogy, you just made the point that has been driven home for the past few years.  You cannot have it both ways, complain and help the enemy, and complain that the campaign is ineffective.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Let me make it simple: the decisions that have been made in Iraq are Bush’s decisions. If things are not going well, that’s the direction to look, not at the people who are criticizing him. Simple enough? &lt;/blockquote&gt;

This is getting painful, but still fun.

Its.Not.That.Simple.

&lt;blockquote&gt;(Try this in your own life: make a big mistake at work. See how far you get whining to your boss or your Board that other people are to blame for your decision because they were not “supportive” of you. Good luck with that.)&lt;/blockquote&gt; 

I think I&#039;ll pass on your little lesson in life honora, since I was the boss and I was on the board.  Heh.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Wow, that’s a brainbuster. You mis-spoke about Bush abdicating his responsibility, and now you try to lay it off on me that I abdicated for him by giving him a pass, which I never did.

Huh?

I have to agree with you honora …… you don’t make any sense. 

fogw on January 10, 2007 at 1:33 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Let me make it simple:  the decisions that have been made in Iraq are Bush&#039;s decisions.  If things are not going well, that&#039;s the direction to look, not at the people who are criticizing him.  Simple enough?  

You want it both ways--you want your boy to call the shots, but when things go awry, you want to be able to blame other people.  Sorry, that&#039;s not the way it works.  

(Try this in your own life:  make a big mistake at work.  See how far you get whining to your boss or your Board that other people are to blame for your decision because they were not &quot;supportive&quot; of you.  Good luck with that.)</description>

		<description>[...] The problem with the left today is the problem with parents today. They think that if you give a child what he wants&#8230;things will get better. The talk is always about compromise, and meeting in the middle, but when people like Ahmadinejad are the ones who are constantly making demands while we fight to maintain the status quo, compromise only means that little by little, tyrants get what they want, and we don&#8217;t. What does the parent &#8220;get&#8221; by giving the crying child a cookie&#8230;all it does is buy a few minutes of peace, before the kid finds out that all he has to do is cry again to get what he wants. The perpetual position of compromise, moral relativity (no one is bad&#8230;we just don&#8217;t see things through their eyes) and defeatism on the left has no positive effect on this nation. They want to commit the same atrocity we did in Vietnam, which is leave a struggling people we promised to help wide open to cleansing by butchers because a group of individuals doesn&#8217;t have the testicular fortitude to follow through with their promise of help. Why help when it&#8217;s easier to blame Bush&#8230;besides, it&#8217;s not like Democrats promised to help, or even wanted to&#8230;so why should they be held accountable, they only voted for this war, they didn&#8217;t actually expect it to be a war.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;You’re right, I mis-spoke. Bush is not abdicating his responsibility. But you are giving him a pass (abdicating for him, which &lt;em&gt;yes I know makes no sense&lt;/em&gt;, but you get my meaning). Again, if he is CIC and is in charge, it’s his ballgame, win, lose or draw. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Wow, that&#039;s a brainbuster.  You mis-spoke about Bush abdicating his responsibility, and now you try to lay it off on me that I abdicated for him by giving him a pass, which I never did.

Huh?

I have to agree with you honora ...... you don&#039;t make any sense.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;You want to talk about being able to “stand the heat” in the kitchen - the Dems left the kitchen a long time ago, but continue to stand at the kitchen entrance with an extra large blowtorch.

As for this weekend - never underestimate the Pats (they have been there and done that numerous times). 

Rick on January 10, 2007 at 12:05 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Not all Dems.  Resolution in the House:  81 for, 126 against;  Senate:  29 for, 21 against.

Hey, I am all about some of the Dems being wimps.  I was against this from the get-go and frankly think that the Dems (and responsible Reps)should have asked hard questions before we went in.  I agree its pretty slimy for Dems who voted to go to now be attacking the decision to go.  

I do not agree that they are forever banned from stating the obvious--it was a mistake--OUR mistake, not just Bush&#039;s, it was badly handled.

Where I get fed up with Reps is when they only react to the criticism.  Jesus, talk about mis-directing anger.  

Here&#039;s what I would like to know, if only I had a crystal ball:  if we stay another 5 years, will be really any closer to &quot;winning&quot;?  If the answer to that question is no, then we are fools not to leave.

Oh hell, this is all too damned depressing.  Would kinda like to see Philly beat the Saints but not counting on it.

Later.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;WTF? When did Bush abdicate his responsibility? You liberal whackjobs are the ones bitching about his every move on the conduct of the war. If he abdicated his responsibilities, what’s there to complain about?

		<description>The problem with the Democrats is that they are not serious about the defense of America.  They see Iraq as a wedge issue, like a highway bill or a tax bill, that they can use to win power.  They act as partisans rather than statesman.  They don&#039;t care if they torch the country as long they win.</description>
