Profiles in Democratic cowardice
With Americans dying in Iraq, 22 Democratic senators joined Republicans to denounce MoveOn, and Barack Obama failed to vote. Does this party want to win the White House next year?

  • My Advice to Move-On: Don't Use Labels (Be-Tray-us) on Others, Use Facts

    First, I am sympathetic to Move-On and GRATEFUL to them for the many positive things that they do. Still, having served in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War, I believe that General Petraeus is well-meaning. This is important.

    What we want is much better civilian leadership from a new Administration and Congress. Move-On needs someone or an organization to vett such ads. Their ad did have many facts. What General Petraeus did was better characterized as "Mis-lead" us. Does anyone really think that this general is a traitor in the Benedict Arnold sense ?
