#1 You may e-mail Senator Reid here.

Unlike Queen Nancy, who claims to represent everybody, but only listens to her local constituents, Harry accepts e-mails from outlanders.

#2 When you show weakness or lack of resolve in the face of aggression, you get more aggression.

This is such a universal and invariant truth that it may as well be a fundamental principle of Newtonian physics. And any society that fails to muster a near-unanimous recognition of this principle is doomed.

Fucking liberal idiots...

#3 I just wrote him to tell him what I think of his cowardice and treason. He's a contemptible whelp. Better he should stick to fraudulent land deals.

#4 I blame THIS on Nevada. Time to hold the population responsible for their representation. FU nevada for putting this trash into office. FU and Vegas.

#5 This is why the Democrats will not do well in '08.

#6 In the short term, the Pentagon has considerable fat stores laid up to keep the troops going for at least a year. However, this is dependent on Bush just punishing the democrats--making them bleed out the ears--for cutting off the troops.

I'm taking a political attack campaign that would make Karl Rove as much a general as Norman Schwartzkopf. Incredible pressure put on every single democrat in the country until they are pleading to give the Pentagon more money.

#8 That'd be great, 'Moose, but I don't think Bush & Co. possess the kind of callous brutality it would take to do that. Casper Milquetoast is not going to be slicing off any Democrat's balls; he going to be trying to "work with them to find a bipartisan solution". Barf...

#9 Please of PLEASE let Bush play hardball with the Donks on this. They don't appear to have turned their backs on the Military, THEY HAVE TURNED their backs on the military. Shame on them.

#10 Reid is a major dick head. This strays from their game plan of carping, critisizing, having no plan, and never being responsible for anything. If they roll the dice and pull funding, they will lose later. In the mean time they are providing comfort and encouragement for the enemy and being a major pain in the ass.

#11 I sent my letter to the President on Sunday via fax, but I have not heard from the WH yet, heh. The WH needs some fire in its belly, or the dems will run all over them. This play by the dems is as much an act of war against this country as al Q. And I am not going for hyperbole here.

#14 Sent my email via King Reid (via the address given above by Bobby), that is to be published on Leaders something??? It was part of the process of chosing, so I chose it!

Quoted a few parts of this article by Thomas Sowell

and it even let me include a pic, so I included this one:

#15 If Bush will man up, the donks will have their collective cajones painfully squeezed. But, I am not convineced Bush will call their bluff. I think he will blink.

#18 Thanks for the link, Bobby. I wrote a brief note to Senator Reid, explaining that if he even tries to push through his bill to cut off funds for the war in Iraq, I would actively work against Democratic candidates and issues at the local and state levels -- as well as national -- for the next 10 years. Ohio is a swing state, so that might pique his interest.

I may pop by later to share some interesting survey statistics I saw at the NRO's The Corner:

*A Bloomberg poll last month found that 61% of Americans believe withholding funding for the war is a bad idea, while only 28% believe it is a good idea.

*According to a March USA Today/Gallup poll, 61% of Americans oppose denying the funding needed to send any additional troops to Iraq.

*That poll also showed that only 20% of Americans want to withdraw the troops immediately.

*Public Opinion Strategies (POS) recently reported that a majority of voters (54%) oppose the Democrats imposing a reduction in troops below the level military commanders requested.

*A POS poll in February found that 59% of voters believe pulling out of Iraq immediately would do more to harm Americas reputation in the world than staying until order is restored.

*That POS poll also finds 57% of voters support staying in Iraq until the job is finished and the Iraqi government can maintain control and provide security for its people.

*According to a Time magazine poll also taken in March, only 32% want to withdraw the troops within the next year no matter what happens.

#20 If Bush will man up, the donks will have their collective cajones painfully squeezed. But, I am not convineced Bush will call their bluff. I think he will blink.

Confrontation isn't Bush's style... or rather President Bush's style. I think he's one of those "The office is too dignified for that kind of behavior" Presidents.

On the other hand he can be unbelievably loyal to people and ideas--even when his supporters would rather he not be (most notably on immigration from Mexico).

I don't think he'll blink on this, but nor do I think he'll ever be as roll-up-the-sleeves, in-your-face confrontational with the Democratniks as you, I or any other Red-Blooded Conservative would want.

#21 This plus Drudges picture of Pelosi in Syria today make me want to puke with disgust. We either need a total re-haul of the House and Senate or someway to allow the citizens of their districts to have an IMMEDIATE VOTE to remove them from office. I know they were elected in the latter solution but with this traitorism in the forefront of their minds maybe the vote would be different.

#22 I bet you everything that Dingus Harry will lose. The Prez will whip his ass like the mule he is.

Yeeha!

The Prez has the bully pulpit. The generals will begin talking about what's not being provided and Dingus Harry will end up looking like a used condom.
