Reply #53: In the 08 election, there will be ONE question: What did you do to stop the Iraq War?

Given the total lack of leadership by the Democrats, including Pelosi & Reid, to put an end to Bush's Iraq War, it is now possible to predict a Republic victory in 08 both for President and Congress.

This is the issue that will lose the election for the Democrats - not the Atty. General crisis, not minimum wage, not health care. The 08 election will be decided on Iraq. If the Dems do NOTHING (which is apparently the plan), any Dem candidate holding office will be unelectable as President. Imagine the questions: if you are so opposed to the Iraq War, why did you vote to fund it as recently as last year? Answer: There was nothing I could do (bullshit!). It was Bush's fault (not anymore!). I was against the war before I was for the war before I was against the war (yeah, right!).

That means, no Obama and no Clinton (both senators). I, personally, refuse to vote for a hypocrite in Congress who says one thing and then votes to kill more of our soldiers. Even if they vote against the war funding bill (I'm sure they all will), that is just show. Leaders would act decisively - not let others decide our fate.

God help us. This will be the end of the Democrat's chances. If they make no move to stop the Iraq War in 2007, then they will lose in 08. After all this work, years of screaming, it comes down to this: Democrats are pussy-wimps. Don't fain denial - it's apparent for all to see. The Constitution gave the power to declare and fund wars to the Congress and, this Congress is doing NOTHING to stop it. ZERO! ZILCH!

I'm so upset, I'm beside myself. I know Democrats are pussy wimps, but I really thought (hoped) Reid and Pelosi would stand up to Bush. I guess it was just wishful thinking.

God save our poor soldiers and the helpless Iraqi people. God save our children who will die in mass numbers as a result of this illegal war. God forgive us for being so morally bankrupt.

Peace.
