Let The Congress and Senate Hear From you On Iraq

   John Edwards at the MoveOn.org Virtual Town Hall on Iraq.

We know George Bush and Karl Rove will deploy the full-fury of their PR machine to blame Democrats for Bush’s choice, Bush’s choice to veto funding for the troops. There are many people in Washington that are gonna be tempted to cry uncle, and they’ll say, they’re gonna let Bush win another round in this fight. So where will Congress find the courage to stand firm? I’ll tell you where they’ll find it: they’ll find it in your letters. They’ll find it in your calls. They will find it in your voice. Forty years ago, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave a sermon speaking out against the war in Vietnam. He said, "There comes a time in all of our lives where silence is a betrayal."

    Martin Luther King Jr. speech  on April 4, 1967, 40 years ago:

If we do not act we shall surely be dragged down the long, dark and shameful corridors of time reserved for those who possess power without compassion, might without morality, and strength without sight.

   Pay attention to that statement people. Class is in session!

    The majority of the citizens of the United States want us out of Iraq now, not in another year. But no one is out raising hell about Bush's plans nor are they letting their Reps. know how they feel about things.

   It is time that you got off of your butts and made a few calls and wrote a few letters to your Senators and your Congressmen and told them to get on the ball with this. While you are at it, if you favor impeachment of resident Bush, let them know that also. Do not forget though, that Cheney has to go down with him at the same time.

John McCain, Still An Idiot!

  From excerpts of a speech to be given today at the Virginia Military Institute.

Sen. John McCain: "Democrats, who deny our soldiers the means to prevent an American defeat, have chosen another road. It may appear to be the easier course of action but it is a much more reckless one."

    Someone with some real intelligence should let Mr. McCain know that the United States lost in Iraq from the first day that Bush put us in the country and we are losing it still and we will be losing it tomorrow.

     Resident Bush himself defeated the United States in Iraq from the start because this ' war ' was not designed to be won.

"Our defeat in Iraq would constitute a defeat in the war against terror and extremism, and would make the world a much more dangerous place."

  Once again, it is his pal in the White house who has succeeded in making the world a more dangerous place.

   McCain asked the American public for patience and for the people to give Bush's escalation a chance. You know the story! Same old shit with even the same cover on it because these clowns have run out of their catch-phrases of the week.

   I think that the American public has been more than patient with this president ( ? ) and his horde of followers. Let us get our troops out of Iraq and Bush/Cheney out of the White House, and John McCain back to the retirement home in Arizona before he hurts himself.
