America's War

Dirty Harry Reid, in between corrupt land deals in Nevada, said today that he intends to bring vote after vote on withdrawal dates and cutting funds for the war in Iraq. He intends to brand the war the Republican's war. Not America's war, not even Bush's war, as they tried to call it over the summer break. Now it's just the Republican's war. What a creepy loser.

What do we call him now?

After the President's press conference yesterday, ABC News said they regretted not carrying the press conference. They didn't want to disrupt the soap operas and game shows with the current events of the country, I guess.

What do we call them now?

Later yesterday, Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), got his resolution condemning the MoveOn ad through the Senate business, after being denied the opportunity previously. So, while General Petraeus was unanimously voted 'yes' to his leading the surge policy in Iraq, while he was the beneficiary of platitudes from left and right, while the leaders of foreign countries voiced approval of him as the leader of the military operations in Iraq, the MoveOn people were cooking up their own little campaign to impugn him publicly. Yesterday, as the vote was taken on the resolution, 24 Dems and 1 Socialist, no Republicans, voted to congratulate MoveOn for their ad. They have no intention of doing anything to stop the monetary contributions to their campaign coffers from this group, led by George Soros.

What do we call the no voters now?

Twenty-two Dems and 1 Independent voted with the Republicans to condemn the ad. President Bush finally spoke out against the ad and the Dems who continue to applaud and kowtow to the MoveOn people, lead by Eli Pariser, Soros' front man.

What do we call them?

Here's the resolution:

Hardly going out on a limb for a General leading our country and her soldiers in war.

Three didn't vote: Biden, Cantwell and Obama. All Dems. Two running for President.

What do we call them?

Obama was seen on the floor of the Senate minutes before the vote, speaking in favor of a resolution put up by Barbara Boxer, D-CA and a surrender monkey. Then he scurried off as this vote was taken.

None of the Dems running for President voted to condemn the ad.

What do we call them?

According to the most recent polls: 61% approval for General Petraeus, 11% approval for Congress.

Dirty Harry is doing a splendid job.

Today a vote was taken demanding the withdrawal of troops in Iraq in 9 months. It failed by 13 votes. Take a vote every day and use a different number. They are pulling them out of the air anyway.

Dirty Harry is doing a splendid job.
