Dem Iraq Agenda Hits A Hidden Snag

For months the rallying cry of the Democrats in Congress as they resist Bush's surge, if not the war itself, has been - the people voted in November, it's time to get out.

In the wake of this new Quinnipiac Poll, while it's mostly irrelevant to the 08 election, we can gain some insight into the national mindset when it comes to the war. Their particular positions on Iraq are probably the most publicized positions for each of the candidates below.

Among the four front runners, in every case two candidates who both strongly support the surge and fighting on for victory in Iraq beat out both cut and run Dems. The next time Pelosi, Reid or Murtha start talking about how people voted in November, they'd do well to remember it wasn't all about Iraq. Obviously, the majority of this country does not support Democrat efforts to undermine, or de-fund the war.

Another "Macaca Defeats Truman" moment in the making!

[Jeff]

Assuming that it happens...

It was just a botched joke, I thought libs had lots of experience with those?

[BobInStamford]

Forget the polls - Denmark is abandoning the COALITION OF THE WILLING. Those Danes are evil-doers. They need to be brought to justice.

[Dan Riehl]

You 44-percenters would be wise to shut up. You're the minority now.

[TheSpartan]

The minority in control of both houses.

[templar knight]

Yeah, your control of the Senate was just demonstated last week when they had a vote on.....now what was that issue, Greek boy? Oh, yeah, a non-binding resolution on Iraq. Great control there, Geek!

[TheSpartan]

Whatever gets you through the knight, knight. How does it feel to part of an order disbanded by of all people, the french?

[BobInStamford]

Knight should be treated with respect. He is both a journalist and an oil baron. Plus, he sends his kids to private school. Surely he is not someone to be trifled with. I will however point out to this great American thinker and patriot that the Senate non-binding resolution got 56 votes, even though the Dems have only 51 seats. Complete the Mission!!

[templar knight]

Bob, surge on! And was 56 enough to get a vote on the resolution? Do you have an answer? And here dumb old me thought you had to have 60.

[TheSpartan]

Apparently we need the surge to make up for losing troops from the crumbling coalition of the coerced.

[templar knight]

Actually, Greek, I love the French, as I should, since many of my ancestors came from the Rheims area of France, where my family has an ancestral home. But alas, my part of the family was always rebellious, and we were run out of France because we were Hugenots. First to the Isle of Wight, then to Baltimore, Md., on to No. Carolina, and subsequently to Texas. Yes, a rebel again and again, first with the Texas War for Independence and then in the Civil War. Won one and lost one.

[TheSpartan]

Too bad texas didn't maintain that independance.

[templar knight]

Damn, son, you're thinking like a real Texan now. I must say I have hope.

[Zifnab]

"Bob, surge on! And was 56 enough to get a vote on the resolution? Do you have an answer? And here dumb old me thought you had to have 60."

Maybe they should just invoke the nuclear option, Temp.

Upperdown vote! Upperdown vote!
Why do Republicans hate Democracy?!

[TheSpartan]

"Damn, son, you're thinking like a real Texan now. I must say I have hope."

I'm just thinking we'd have been better off as a country with one less red state in the union, not to mention a certain president wouldn't have been able to be gov of texas and then POTUS.

[templar knight]

I withdraw my compliment.

[Cindi]

not to mention a certain president wouldn't have been able to be gov of texas and then POTUS.

Shame is you had nobody worthy of going against GWB. About time you dumb fucks got serious.

[seekeronos]

All the Dems are going to do is shred what little credibility they squeezed out of November 2006.

Cindi makes a good point... Bush certainly isn't the sharpest tool in the shed by any stretch, but he's a fair shake better than anything the Dhimmicretins can being to the table.

[TheSpartan]

"I withdraw my compliment."

That's cool, I didn't regard being told I think like a texan as a compliment. more as an oxymoron.

[Zifnab]

"Shame is you had nobody worthy of going against GWB. About time you dumb fucks got serious."

Well, there was that one guy. You know, Al Gore, the smart one. You may recognize him as the winner of the popular vote. The popular vote being the count of people who actually voted for each candidate. I mean, its true that we didn't have a majority on the Supreme Court, but had we been living in a democracy, Al Gore would be President right now.

You still won't say why the Republicans are afraid of a simple Upperdown vote, btw. Why do Republicans hate the legislative process?

[templar knight]

They hate the legislative process the same way the Democrats hated it when they wouldn't vote up or down on several of the President's judicial appointments.

Upperdown....surge on, Ziffy.

[templar knight]

That's because you aren't a Texan. Only a Texan would know, silly Greek.

[TheSpartan]

I'd need to drop about 50IQ points and 3 chromosomes to qualify as a texan.
