I cant believe Bush is still trying to rally his conservative, hawkish base by claiming that those who are against the war are "comforting the enemy".
What a load of bush!t.

It's a bullshyte argument to hide from criticism that the administration fooked up in Iraq from the inception of this action.
There are going to be about fifty democratic veterans running for national and state office in 2006. (google "fighting dems") Republicans (most of them never served) are running scared.....and for good reason.
Bush is using every tool in his arsenal to keep congress for the republicans....including the use of disinformation and falsehoods.....it won't work, but I'm not surprised he's using these sorts of tactics.

Yes, you are right! There are NO terrorists in Iraq, and a victory there would just be outright silly! A democracy in the middle of the Middle East wouldn't spread and help reform islam, nor buy the U.S. a relationship that could avert WWIV. We don't need those stinking bases to flex our stinking muscles! We could just use jedi mind tricks to maintain our role in the world!Originally Posted by lojasmo

Just helps me realize how important these upcoming elections are. I don't want Democrats to sweep all three (senate, presidency, congress) but just to hold one. Keep the wack jobs in both parties in check.

You must be reading something different...

"In Colorado, both Fawcett and Winter are likely to face uphill battles against the Republican incumbents."[/QUOTE]
I think you read the wrong article.
Quote:
"People may not like the war, but they still believe that Republicans will do a better job of protecting them than Democrats," Forti said. "And if Democrats want to try to make an issue of the war and security, especially Democrats who have a voting record - they have an abysmal voting record on defense spending."
Yeah, Republicans sound REAL scared."Originally Posted by Article
"...Republicans are confident they can maintain their traditional strength among voters focused on the military and veterans' issues, said Carl Forti of the National Republican Congressional Campaign Committee, which recruits Republican candidates across the country."People may not like the war, but they still believe that Republicans will do a better job of protecting them than Democrats," Forti said. "And if Democrats want to try to make an issue of the war and security, especially Democrats who have a voting record - they have an abysmal voting record on defense spending."

Ah...I found a source in retrospect. Of course, the rethuglican in the article is gonna put positive spin on it....and of course colorado is an outlier being a strong red state....most of the races are in more moderate states.
It's okay...I'm not worried, and am content to see how things play out in november. I think these veterans of recent foreign wars are going to look pretty good running against fat old guys who've never served, and have spent lots of time in washington getting rich off of Abramoff.
