| Rolling Stone Rolling Crap: Elected to end the war, Democrats have surrendered to Bush |
| 2008-02-10 |
| Elected to end the war, Democrats have surrendered to Bush on Iraq and betrayed the peace movement for their own political ends. Matt Talbbi played professional basketball in Ulan-Bator, Mongolia... Hoot! Quietly, while Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have been inspiring Democrats everywhere with their rolling bitchfest, congressional super-duo Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have completed one of the most awesome political collapses since Neville Chamberlain. At long last, the Democratic leaders of Congress have publicly surrendered on the Iraq War, just one year after being swept into power with a firm mandate to end it. Gee Matt Chamberlain laid down for the real enemy. Missed that part of history 101 did ya? Solidifying his reputation as one of the biggest pussies in U.S. political history, Reid explained his decision to refocus his party's energies on topics other than ending the war by saying he just couldn't fit Iraq into his busy schedule. "We have the presidential election," Reid said recently. "Our time is really squeezed." Well Reid is a pussy but not for what Matty's written bout Pelosi seemed especially broken up about having to surrender on Iraq. Ya mean surrender to terrorists you POS? I couldn't read the rest. Feel free if you have the belly for it |

| #15 Taibbi is on the other side. He is a self absorbed, anti enlightenment carpetbagger who went to Uzbekistan and got promptly kicked out. Then he went to Moscow to write for the Moscow Times and exile.ru. He's primarily known for writing about his heroin abuse, connoisseur of teenage Russian prostitutes, and chief ass kisser to a no good son of a Russian robber baron. In other words, perfect Rolling Stone material. |

| #14 In truth, the Congressional Democrats did surrender to President Bush on everything important. And some of the votes for them in 2006 were to end the war, though not all, and probably not most. Nice that Mr. Taibbi noticed. I wonder what he'd thought we should do about Yugoslavia back in the '90s, or what he went on about just after 9/11. I don't wonder enough to exert myself, but I do wonder if he's anti-war or on the other side. |

| #13 Taibbi should stick to what he knows best, the myriad types of "stripes" on Russian prostitutes. |

| #12 Again, FOX BIZN Pert [paraph] > THERE IS = WILL BE NO GOING BACK TO THE DAYS = TIME IN AMERICA BEFORE 9-11. He meant EVERYONE, ANYONE, GOP DEM etal., plus OWG-GLOBALISM IS HERE TO STAY. THE WOT > WAR TO DEFINE + DETERMINE AMERICA'S PLACE/ROLE IN SAID OWG-NWO. |

| #11 IIRC, Matt Taibbi was the dipshit RS reporter that got the smackdown layed on him by Tony Snow at the Bill Maher show. |

| #7 You can see it in the turnouts for the Democratic primaries. I also see it here in Chicago more so than 2004, when Anbody but Bush almost got them over the hump. If the far right, evangelicals, and Republican's who can't stand McCain can't muster themselves to vote for McCain, then it'll be a Demcratic landslide not only for President but also the House and Senate. |

| #1 Remember it's not about Facts, it's about Belief. The last election the Donks pressed hard not on the war, but on corruption [apparently, that there was not enough of it]. |
