Liberal Propaganda From Obey & Byrd
Strictly sticking with their party’s line, Appropriations chairmen David Obey and Robert Byrd demand that President Bush accept defeat. Of course, they didn’t word it that way. Instead, they chose to word it this way:
The time has come for President Bush to face reality and make some tough decisions about the future of America’s involvement in Iraq. The president has two fundamental choices: He can demonstrate real leadership by reaching across party lines to establish common ground on a strategy for ending US involvement in Iraq’s civil war, or he can continue to divide the country by clinging to his failed policy.
If you’re asking how many times will Democrats ignore what’s happening in Iraq, the answer is simple: Democrats will ignore positive development until they’ve secured defeat. As I pointed out last night, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi sing from the same songbook. The sad thing is that these ‘leaders’ are ignoring some awfully significant progress:
- Muqtada al-Sadr fled to Tehran.
- Sadr’s Mahdi Army is splintered.
- Sadr’s cabinet secretaries resigned, weakening Sadr’s political power.
- Sunnis in Anbar province are leading MNF and Iraqi forces to AQI troops.
Frankly, it’s maddening having to listen to the defeatist Democrats. They aren’t in touch with reality. They’re in touch only with their pacifist campaign contributors. It’s time that they got grounded in reality.
Frankly, it’s time to start laying the groundwork for THEIR DEFEAT next November.
In the days ahead, Congress will send Mr. Bush legislation that provides funding for our troops and urgent priorities facing our nation. Our bill will supply vital resources for our soldiers in the field, and it will strengthen medical care for those returning from war and our veterans.
Urgent priorities aren’t the only things included in that legislation. What Mssrs. Obey and Byrd didn’t tell you about is that they loaded the bill up with tons of pork to buy enough votes to secure defeat for our troops.
These people aren’t leaders, at least not in the noble sense of the word. They certainly aren’t statesmen. Statesmen like Hubert Humphrey, Daniel Patrick Moynihan and JFK would roll their eyes if they had to deal with these idiots. Legislators like Reid, Pelosi, Byrd and Obey are puppets on the pacifists’ string.
We deserve better than that. In fact, our safety in a post-9/11 world depends on us replacing legislators like Reid, Pelosi, Byrd and Obey with real legislators.

I keep hoping that Nancy “more botox please” Pelosi will keep tipping her hand and that people will pay attention.
The liberal democrats want nothing more than the same control over Americans that the islamic nutbags have over their “followers”….when will people wake up?
If Pelosi had her way we would all be taxed into the poorhouse, and submission, in no time at all…………
Hasn’t anyone noticed that the democrats gripe about the war [ but not about the terrorists that make it necessary] and the deficit [but not about the money we send to almost every country in the world...and for what reason?]. They say we need to pay more in taxes…..why don’t they spend less?
And they can start by not giving OUR money away to every Hamid and Harry that comes along……..
