Pardon me for vulgarity, but...
FUCK non-binding resolutions. They're nothing but gutless parliamentary geegaws that allow lawmakers to say to their constituents, "See? I did something about Iraq!"
The only remedy for a president who won't listen to Congress, the media or the vast majority of the people whom he was elected to serve is impeachment. Congress MUST act on impeachment. Now.

Death should be reward enough for getting killed
We should bear in mind most supporters oif the war are Chritians or so they tell us.
Now I know quite a bit about Christian history and when money and power are at stake Chritian leaders have always held human life cheap. After all is the prospect of floating off to be with Jesus that much sooner not reward enough for laying down ones life?
Its only silly, fuddy - duddy old liberal humanists like me who think human life is precious.

Voinovich has left the Dark Side!
(Apologies for doing it twice, but I'd posted this to another War Room item earlier today and it's much more appropriate here!)
According to news reports this morning, Ohio's George Voinovich, now our senior Senator since the defeat of Mike DeWine, has joined a growing number of at least 8 Republicans who back a Senate resolution against Dubya's Iraq "surge"!
Best news I've heard so far today -- I'd suspected days ago that he might join other Republicans-with-a-brain and ditch Bush's misguided plan. Some might accuse him of simply sticking his finger into the wind, following the polls; that may be true, but he did show real evidence of a conscience as Ohio's governor in the 1990's.
I'll assume it's a real conversion until proven otherwise -- but WHATEVER caused it, let's be GLAD! Now, all we need is that delegation of senior Republicans going to the White House, as they did in 1974, informing Nixon that he was finished during the Watergate scandal.
History may be repeating itself in a very real way, very soon.

Expect to See More Former Republicans, like Sen. Webb
...to follow Winston Churchill's example when he left the sclerotic Conservative (Tory) Party for the more progressive Liberal Party in 1905.
As Churchill explained:
"I said a lot of stupid things when I was in the Conservative Party, and I left it because I did not want to go on saying stupid things."

Sell Shoes?
If *only* half the members of the spineless former Congress has opted for that career choice instead of rubberstamping everything President Bush did. I think this might be an insult to shoe salesmen everywhere.

yikes ~ Repubs as the peace party?
If the Dems don't stand up and really do something binding against this war, then the Repubs will be able to run in '08 saying they ended it, or tried ~ whatever the truth.
Please Dems, go for it!

I bet Condi
would be happy to purchase some of those shoes...she's already bought into the rest of this bull s**t with nary a look back at the consequences of its folly.

That's the tone there?
That's the official website of the Republican Party? And they can't even say 'Democrats' without going all potty-mouth?
One expects the playground namecalling from the blowhards, but I was under the (obviously mistaken) impression that the party itself would at least give the appearance of being the honorable opposition.
Do they use that language when they're calling for bipartisanship, or do they end those requests with 'nanny-nanny-boo-boo' as well?

Sales job
Typical of Americans that getting blown is not ok, but getting blown away is. What would it take to impeach this unpresident?

Chuck Hagel is a Retreatican
Chuck Hagel is a member of the Retreatican party!!
Anyone who doesn't want our troops to go into Iraq and get killed so George Bush can save face is a defeatist and a retreater. But people who have never served in the military and post pro-war messages on the internet are the true heros of our country.

"Defeatocrats"?
Is the RNC run by illiterate teenagers?
