All Things Beautiful has a great article called The D Stand For Defeat (via Michelle Malkin)

Ed Morrisey writes:

AFTER THE MURTHA COMMENTS, the GOP challenged the Democrats to go on record with a Congressional vote for retreat. Almost the entire Democratic caucus cut and ran from their embrace of the cut-and-run strategy–the House voted against the non-binding resolution for immediate withdrawal 403 to 3. The height of Democratic pusillanimity came when GOP Rep. Sam Johnson, a former Vietnam POW, asked for three extra minutes to complete his remarks. Several Democrats voiced objection. The speaker demanded that the members objecting identify themselves–and none would even stand for their own objection.

Since then, things have only gotten worse. John Kerry insisted that no Democrat had demanded a precipitous withdrawal or a timetable for retreat–and then demanded that the White House provide a timetable with dates for “transition of authority.” (In other words, after deciding at the end of last year’s election that the United States needed more troops in Iraq, he now demands a withdrawal after he demanded an escalation.)

At nearly the same time, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi held her own news conference demanding an immediate withdrawal of all American troops from Iraq. Her second in command, House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, shot back that he wanted no withdrawal and instead wanted the nation to focus on victory. Meanwhile, Senator Joe Lieberman returned from his fourth trip to Iraq and wrote that Bush has a plan in place for winning the war–and that it’s was working. Democratic leadership respectfully disagreed with Lieberman’s assessment–and then changed course and suggested that Lieberman replace Donald Rumsfeld as Secretary of Defense.

Captain’s Quarters:
The Iraqis have more courage in their (purple) finger than Murtha has in his entire hysterical body. Shame on him, and shame on his party.

Blogs For Bush

the Democrats have been calling us racists and fascists and homophobes and what have you for ages: all charges without an iota of fact behind them. Meanwhile, the Democrats - especially under Head Defeaticrat Howard Dean - have gone massively left and decidedly unpatriotic. Time to call them on it - give the American people the real choice in 2006: Do you want people who want to win, or people who want to quit?
