Can We Get Extra Hubris On Our Pizzas? · Jul 17, 11:30 AM by Mike
If it’s the thought that counts, then OK, I give the Democrats a pass on last night’s pizza sleepover. But we’re at a point in this country that the thought no longer is good enough…thinking hasn’t accomplished what we need in Iraq. So last night’s debate was an exercise in futility and an asinine publicity stunt, and as a registered Democrat, I’m embarrassed.
Tom Coburn, (R)-OK, said “I bet I can stay up longer than they can.” Really, can your dad stay beat up Harry Reid’s dad too, you childish little man? Can you drink me under the table, fratboy? Come on, grow up. That’s pathetic…are you a United States Senator or an 8-year-old boy?
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said, “Will the all-night session change any votes? I hope so,” said Reid. “Because it will focus attention on the obstructionism of the Republicans.” If the attention of country isn’t keen to the legislative cock-blocking of the Republicans in Congress and the Bush Administration by now, it’s never going to happen. And if it did bring about more awareness, our outrage has only proved unheard in the past, so why would this time be different? The administration will continue to plod along with their hands over their ears, screaming, “Blah blah blah, I can’t hear you, blah blah blah.”
And even if by some miracle these amendments to bring most troops home by May actually got through the Senate, Bush is absolutely going to veto anything that sets a timetable for withdrawal. So what’s the fucking point?
I think the American people are largely aware and focused on what is going on, and most are very unhappy. I think we get it…it’s our ‘leadership’ that doesn’t. As a group of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, along with MoveOn.org stated, “We’ll send a clear message to Senators and the media that this isn’t about partisan games—it’s about people’s lives.”
I’m pro-life when it comes to our military forces. I never understood how you could ‘Support Our Troops’ more than that. Unless of course you put a magnetic ribbon on your car, then yeah, I guess that’s more supportive.
