I'd vote for him again if I could. He and few others are the only ones who have what it takes in the War on Terror. God Help Us all if Hillary or Borat Osama gets in.

WASHINGTON - The Pentagon told Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton that her questions about how the U.S. plans to eventually withdraw from Iraq boosts enemy propaganda.

In a stinging rebuke to a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Undersecretary of Defense Eric Edelman responded to questions Clinton raised in May in which she urged the Pentagon to start planning now for the withdrawal of American forces.

A copy of Edelman's response, dated July 16, was obtained Thursday by The Associated Press.

"Premature and public discussion of the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq reinforces enemy propaganda that the United States will abandon its allies in Iraq, much as we are perceived to have done in Vietnam, Lebanon and Somalia," Edelman wrote.

He added that "such talk understandably unnerves the very same Iraqi allies we are asking to assume enormous personal risks."

I'd really like to know why he hasn't done it. He's been asked many times. Did he ever give a reason?

For years we gave them the benefit of the doubt.

But that changed when Cindy Sheehan and other liberals openly sided with the terrorists and commies (Venezuela's Chavez, Che, etc.).

The overall approval of congress as a whole is low because there are still alot of republicans in the seats, and America didn't get the end of the war they voted for...... But that will change soon..

ABC News' Teddy Davis and Lindsey Ellerson Report: Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., told Planned Parenthood Tuesday that sex education for kindergarteners, as long as it is "age-appropriate," is "the right thing to do."

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2007/07/sex-ed-for-kind.html#comment-76390472

Mitt Romney responded:

"How much sex education is age appropriate for a 5-year-old? In my mind, zero is the right number," Romney said Wednesday night at a fundraising dinner for the El Paso County Republican Party in Colorado.

Romney's campaign later released a statement touting the former Massachusetts governor and criticizing Obama. The headline on the statement: "A record of promoting abstinence, not sex education for kindergartners"

I've noticed that some of the conservative posters here like to boast about having a college education, yet for some reason, they also like to complain about the left-leaning professors who make up the majority of academia. For some reason, this just strikes me as being rather self-contradictory. After all, don't they have their liberal professors to thank for the degrees they're so proud to have?:)

By the way, in case you're wondering, I am a university-educated Democrat.

Apparently, some people think so:

Wednesday, July 18, 2007; B01

On a narrow, leafy street in Northwest Washington, where Prius hybrid cars and Volvos are the norm, one man bought a flashy gray Hummer that was too massive to fit in his garage.

So he parked the seven-foot-tall behemoth on the street in front of his house and smiled politely when his eco-friendly neighbors looked on in disapproval at his "dream car."

It lasted five days on the street before two masked men took a bat to every window, a knife to each 38-inch tire and scratched into the body: "FOR THE ENVIRON."

Now, as Groves ponders what to do with the remains of his $38,000 SUV, he has been the target of a number of people who have driven by the crime scene in his upscale neighborhood and glared at him in smug satisfaction

Neighbor Lucille Liem, 37, who owns a Prius hybrid, said that a common sentiment in the neighborhood is that large vehicles are impractical and a strain on the Earth -- and Hummers in particular are a symbol of consumer excess.


"The neighborhood in general is very concerned with the environment," said Liem, whose Prius gets about 48 miles a gallon compared with the Hummer's 14 miles a gallon. "It's more liberal leaning. It's ridiculous to be driving a Hummer."

I don't care if you are Republican or Democrat. I don't think we should have went in the first place(my own opinion) & everybody is entitled to their own. I realize we can't leave now because it would cause awhole bunch of turmoil & such. I also believe that we will still be there in the middle of that Civil War way after the guy in the White House who is not doing a great job of being president with a lower approval rating than Nixon during Watergate scandal was going on is out of office. Both sides(DEMS & REP) have to come up with an alternative solution to getting our troops out of IRAQ.

"A defense select committee paints a sorry picture,- "The language of the report is careful, measured. But there is no mistaking the central message - things are going badly, alarmingly wrong in Afghanistan."

- muddled strategy, shirking allies, a lack of helicopters and, stuck in the middle, the servicemen and women who have to make the whole thing work."
