6. Oh, please ...
Most of it sounds good.

But when I read, "the Democrats will rebuild the armed forces—making it at least possible for the Iraq insurgency to be defeated," I'm disenchanted. Why must we "defeat" the "Iraqi insurgency?" If I heard a democratic candidate utter such a thing, I wouldn't exactly be motivated to vote. To me, that's just code for more war crimes, more torture, more senseless and immoral killing for ... nothing. In fact, it just furthers the democrat's abysmal record of tacitly endorsing bush's crimes.

No, as soon as I hear a candidate drag out this "win in Iraq" bullshit, I'm out.
