Signs Of Insanity, The LWL

Hey folks,

I HAVE to highlight this article by the AP. You know what they say, one of the definitions of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different outcome. Is there any doubt about it now? People are also wondering, STILL, why I call the current Democrat Leadership, and those that follow them, the LWL.

I keep telling you, they are actively engaged in treason. They want us to lose the war, for their political gain. I have told you, good news out of Iraq, is BAD news for them. Pelosi keeps making idiotic statements like the surge is not working. We cannot win. Seriously. She really is.

It got quiet there for a bit. All the good news silenced the LWL for a little while. But make no mistake about it, like I said, even after like 50 failed attempts to cut off funding and leave our troops out there unable to defend themselves, they are not giving up. Get this. AP - Anti-war Democrats ponder next step

By ANNE FLAHERTY, Associated Press Writer

Democrats facing rejection of a proposal to cut off money for the Iraq war are deliberating their next step in trying to rebuild anti-war momentum.

Complete and utter IDIOTS. Traitors at that.

In recent months, violence in Iraq has declined and the Baghdad government has made small steps toward political reconciliation, including plans to hold provincial elections on Oct. 1. While Democratic voters remain largely against the war, the security improvement has helped to cool anxiety among Republicans and stave off legislation demanding that troops start coming home.

The Senate was expected to vote Tuesday on a proposal to order troop withdrawals to begin within 120 days. With that legislation's failure almost assured and lacking a veto-proof majority in Congress even if such a proposal passed, Democrats are talking about whether to shift their strategy. Instead of repeating losing votes on legislation tying money to troop withdrawals, many party members want to focus more on the policy issues surrounding Iraq, including the preparedness of U.S. troops and reining in private contractors.

It has failed EVERY TIME. By the way? Have they actually DONE anything FOR this country? REALITY 101 President = Commander and Chief. Congress = DOMESTIC Issues. They need to go.

Top Army officials are expected to testify Tuesday before the Senate on the health of the ground force.

Another desire by many Democrats is to tie the ailing economy to the war. A coalition of anti-war groups said this week that it plans to spend more than $20 million this year to convince voters that the Republican party's support for the war is bad for their wallets.

So they will WASTE $20 million trying to convert you. {Laughing}

Still, other Democrats, including Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., say they want to pursue more votes to end funding for the war. Feingold sponsored Tuesday's measure.

Sen. Russ Feingold, one of McCains friends. I wonder how HE feels about that. You know, with his temper, it will be kind of fun to see how he will react to some of these idiots if he becomes President.

According to aides, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who co-sponsored Feingold's proposal, agreed to stage Tuesday's vote in exchange for Feingold's earlier support of a defense policy bill. The measure is expected to fall short of the 60 votes needed to pass.

OF COURSE IT WILL.

The effort comes as anti-war sentiments among voters has taken a back seat to the economy.

Anti-war activists say they believe Americans are increasingly aware of the economic burden that the Iraq war has caused. This election season, they say, voters will blame Republicans for supporting the war at a time of rising health care and college costs and in the midst of a mortgage foreclosure crisis.

{Laughing, banging hand on desk, wiping tear from eye} The war comes at an inconvenient time? To much going on. {Laughing} WE ARE WINNING. It is going to be a hard sell. Oh, they will be able to get the Sheeple out there, the card carrying members of the LWL who are too stupid to think for themselves, all riled up, but the average America does not want to surrender when we are WINNING. Morons.

"Leaders who do not recognize this connection will be at a disadvantage come election day," said Jeff Blum, director of USAction, which plans to spend $10 million this year on organizing a grass-roots effort against Republican candidates.

We are now up to $30 million dollars on a wasted effort.

Blum said the group intends to dispatch hundreds of thousands of volunteers to go door to door to convince voters that the GOP's war effort is hurting the economy.

Pretty please, come knock on my door. Pretty please with sugar on top?

MoveOn.org, another anti-war group, says it will spend at least $5 million targeting congressional seats, including Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, John Sununu of New Hampshire, Norm Coleman of Minnesota and Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.

$35 million. MORN.Org. Go figure.

Brad Woodhouse, head of Americans United for Change, estimates his group will spend about $8.5 million, focusing primarily on political advertisements.

$43.5 million.

Jon Soltz, an Army reservist who heads of VoteVets.org, said his group will be running an ad in the Washington, D.C., area that will feature a female Iraq veteran urging Sen. John McCain, the expected GOP nominee for president, to abandon his commitment to Iraq.

"The Iraq war is basically a retreat policy against al-Qaida and (terrorist leader Osama) bin Laden," Soltz said.

This guy is clueless. He is not even worth spending any time talking about. He is a complete idiot that has been bought and paid for because he is an Army Reservist, like that is somehow making him more credible. Problem is, he is clueless.

So a wasted $43.5 million dollars. These are those that say they care about you. The little people. Right? They care about minorities. They care about those in need. $43.5 million dollars could be better spent. Don't ya think? Time in Congress? How about FISA? How about domestic issues? Hello? Anyone there? BDS in full effect.

Nothing new here. The LWL's have been trying desperately to undermine the surge and the war by saying that it is a failure. If it is not one thing it is another.

They claim violence is only down in certain parts of the country while failing to admit that most of Iraq is basically peaceful.

Then they claim since the Iraqi government has not done everything requested of them that is a failure of the war.

If that does not work, there is the war is costing to much and that money can be spent elsewhere. Note I did not say cut spending but redirecting spending because if the democrats get in we will see increased spending.

Hey Sam,

The only way they will give this up is when the Democrats take over the White House. It should be interesting to watch because they will not pull us out either. No matter how much they claim they will now. They won't. They will not have America's defeat attributed to themselves.

Should be fun to watch how the real loons react if Obama gets in and says, "We will be in Iraq for a while." Some of the die hard LWL members will start attacking him. Just watch.
