Acceptance Speech at the 28th Republican National Convention of The Nomination For The Office of President, 1964.

Hey knucklehead – troops dieing, mmkay? Perhaps we could attend to that first and handle arranging the parties later, eh?

Maybe Obama should have passed on sucking up to the IOC and made up his mind what he wanted to do regarding Afghanistan. Makes you wonder why he had time to be in perpetual campaign mode for his reform of healthcare – that few actually want – but hasn’t had the time to figure out a strategy for defense of the nation.

Sarah: it is time for the Third Party…

More Pelosi: McChrystal needs to stop giving speeches…

“His recommendations to the president should go up the line of command.”

The theater commander
of the NATO/US forces, General McChrystal’s POV, went right to the TOP of the Chain, to the American voters and British subjects et al. Today’s brass is well aware and have taken an oath IN BROTHER’s BLOOD — to NOT allow the weak-kneed politicians a repeat of their dirty deeds. A treasonous performance, which enabled the damage inflicted on the US Military Forces in Viet Nam, as well as the ongoing perceptions of dishonorable disengagement(paper tiger), which have besmirched their honorable service to country.

“Let’s Roll”

The military, however distasteful the orders, is charged with carrying out the “Political Mission”. Some would say the press nosed-in to a speech by the General. I assert he should have known. As much as I disagree with the CINC, the military needs to suck it up and do their job.

You’re an idiot. The military is, in fact, executing the orders they have been given. American soldiers are dying on a daily basis as a result of the current orders. McChrystal is seeking a change of strategy by adding more troops to the mix.

THE MILITARY DOES NOT NEED TO SUCK IT UP AND DIE BECAUSE THE FITHY LYING COWARD IN THE WHITE HOUSE REFUSES TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE.

Yes I know I used all caps, I know what it means, and it was intentional.

I vote present!

After watching
Pelosi, hillary and the ceo from acorn
i must conclude that
a. all three are from a recent horror flick
b. all were educated by satan himself
c. we wont get rid of them until christman

Hey pelosi why dont you go back to congress
and lie down in your casket as sunrise..

This way maybe we will be spared watching your daily
horror show (which your the star) on tv news daily..

Hey pelosi
when america needs or asks for answers
from the female version of SATAN
we will ask you..

so until then take your pitchfork
and go roast a few americans over the liberal
campfire like you normally do..

sheesh i am so sick to death of this dumb ass bitch
from hells heart showing up on tv..

I thought horror movie season was over
but apparently with pelosi, hillary, and acorns ceo
we will be forced to watch daily horror shows
until christmas break..

go back in your caskets will you?

“Let me say this about about General McChrystal, with all due respect,” Pelosi said, according to a transcript sent my way by a Pelosi aide. “His recommendations to the president should go up the line of command. They shouldn’t be in press conferences.”

The line of command? As an Air Force vet, I’ve never heard of it. The chain of command? That one I know.

You’d think (hope?) the 2nd in line to the Presidency would know the proper terminology.

Where was all this faux outrage when the guy from the CIA went to a NY Times reporter to out a highly secretive,legal,and successful program (NSA wiretapping)that in effect alerted thousands of terrorist that we were able to listen to their phone calls.
He was obligated to follow chain of command with his concerns.

Instead he ran to a reporter and was hailed as a hero from liberals for “speaking truth to power”.
Newsweek even ran a story proclaiming him a hero and saying he should not be punished.

It was revealed that he did this for partisan reasons and really had no idea how the program worked,only that he didn’t like Bush.

The program was deemed legal and many democrats including Obama have supported 100%.

No democratic congressional leaders,liberal talking heads,or liberal activists groups called for him to be disciplined.

Now we have a General that Obama put in place to carry out Obama’s own strategy,not getting the resources to carry out this strategy and speaking out about it and liberals all of a sudden want to follow “chain of command”.

Instead of making up some bogus scandal to distract from the totally irresponsible and pathetic lack of action on the war Obama promised to make a priority and win.
liberals should be concerned about Obama stating for 2 years he had a better plan and that America would not be safe until the terrorist threat was eliminated taking a 180′ turn and trying to figure out how to cut and run.

Let there be no mistake.
A defeat in Afghanistan will fall directly on Obama’s shoulders,the buck stops at the Presidents desk.

When the jihadist are dancing in the streets yelling and screaming about their victory over America,it will be with Obama’s face on television everyday,not Bush’s.

Having a General speak out about what he needs to win is the least of Obama’s and his democratic constituents problems concerning the war they said they knew how to fight with “smart power”.

Actually coming through and backing up their “we are smarter” rhetoric with successful actions in the Afghanistan/Pakistan theater is the real hurdle here.

democrats are going to look even more like fools claiming they used “smart power” in Afghanistan while the jihadist dance in the streets declaring victory, than they already do proclaiming the stimulus is working with 10% unemployment
and the economy continuing to tank.


democrats are not pissed that McCrystal did not follow chain of command.They are pissed that he is exposing their utter weakness and capitulation in a war they promised to win.

Sorry, but this is incorrect. This Whitehouse sees things ONLY through the Prism of politics. Its the only thing they understand… they have no conception of honor, or sacrifice, and would not understand that a General would resign rather than betray his men… so they’d just let him resign and continue reading their polls…

This Whitehouse has the LEAST amount of military vets in it of any administration ever… and without someone there to explain to them where they are messing up (Gates won’t… he’s become part of the problem) they will continue to play politics with the lives of military members

Perhaps, but there will be other administrations after this one. Again, the White House should get the picture, but if they don’t, what’s a public debate going to accomplish.

Again, mealy-mouthed support for the Afghanistan campaign is tantamount to defeat anyways. We need successive administrations with the fortitude to stay there to have a hope of success, as well as supply it with the resources it needs.

I don’t have much faith that Obama is going to see it through, but I also don’t believe that a public debate one way or the other is going to change the outcome. The best we can hope for with Obama is to not lose. The campaign will only be won if we play to win.

Fun game we played today on a long ride – who do we know who might know someone who knows a community organizer? 4 degrees of community organizing separation. None of us could make a connection so we all lost by forfeit.
