i love her dearly, but even i know a load of fearmongering tripe when i hear it. hearing this "it'll strand the troops" bullshit with a current 1/2 trillion DoD budget is absolutely laughable. no general will obey a suicidal order of leaving their troops stranded on the mere whim of the Commander and Chief -- none, zero, zip, nada, cannot happen. it doesn't matter what the media thinks or says at that point because every military leader will pack up their troops and just move them to another base. over and done and not a shot fired or ballot casted. it's just a bullshit scare tactic to sit on our hands and wait for the next elections, and i ain't having it anymore. who gives a shit what the media says when the democrats would single-handedly remove our troops from iraq by simply closing the purse. screw this super majority bullshit -- republicans never needed that, and neither do we if we have even an ounce of intestinal fortitude and a dollop of remedial civics.
