With the amount of lard added to get the minimum number of votes for passage, it is obvious it could not stand on its own even among Democrats. So now we have a bill that not only tries to guarantee defeat (for which Bush would be blamed) but also tries to spend a lot of tax dollars.

Add this to proposed tax changes and such, and now "the Feinstein Connection," and one feels awe at the practices of the party that claims to be for us commoners and previously demonstrated it by inveighing against no-bid contracts, earmarks, conflicts of interest, etc.

Leftists aren't happy until the body counts reach 7 figures.

I would prefer that the Iraqis start carrying their own kids.

I never cease marveling at how Righties like Purple Avenger can see into my brain and discern what I'm thinking.

The most amazing part is how wrong he always is. Always.

If he paid attention, rather than pulling bushwah out of thin air and pretending that it's fact, he'd understand that what Lefties want is for American casualties to end. That's why we want the war to end. We want the death of Americans to stop.

There are no two ways about it. We can't simultaneously want the war to end and soldiers to leave, while still wanting soldiers to stay in Iraq and die. To suggest that the Left feels both ways is foolishness so extreme that it can only be willful.

Do I get to pretend to know what Righties like Purple Avenger are thinking? How about this: "Purple Avengers aren't happy until every last Iraqi girl has been sadistically violated."

My assertion is based on a foundation as firm as his, and it's certainly no more insulting.

Righties like Purple Avenger

Where I stand

That post has been up for around a year and a half Doc, and I link it on my sidebar.

You're a moron.

Doc: don't deceive yourself, the average lefty could care less about american military casualties. you (the royal you, as you may be the rare exception) don't like the people in the military, you don't agree with what they've signed up to do, you don't put the ribbons on your car (and you didn't wear the bracelets 35 years ago), you don't support giving them the resources to keep them safe, you would rather 100 of our guys die than have some mosque damaged or some Iraqi killed, and, if you ever went to Arlington, you don't thank them for defending this country. You don't want our guys out of Iraq because you care about them, you want them out because you can't stand the thought of them - and the guy who sent them to Iraq - succeeding.

Purple Avenger:

Yeah, like I said: a Righty. I've read enough of what you've posted here and interacted with you myself enough to know where you stand. If it quacks like a duck...

Gentlemen, please refrain from profanity, and lay off the personal attacks. I'd hate to have to ban anyone, but I'm starting to get a little tired of the carping.

Address the issues/topic instead of attacking each other, please.

Democrats: Hey, at least when we leave it won't be the children of people who vote for us that are surely going to die, so who really cares?

Is that really their stand? "Die Iraqi children, die!"

Somebody ought to hold their feet to the fire for that (and we know in advance it won't be the MSM).
