#1 then Democrats would have a choice. They could give the president a vote of confidence on the basis of his recent series of carefully staged speeches, delivered belatedly and under duress. Or they could join Murtha in calling for a U.S. exit from Iraq.

Or they could do a lot of other things. But it won't really make any difference until they are the majority. And stupid thinking like this is not likely to bring them any closer to that state.

#2 Wouldn't those Democrats-searching-for-a-principled-middle-ground need to have a majority in both houses of Congress in order to be able to legislate anything? Trailing daughter#1 is going to Washington, DC in February with her confirmation class, perhaps they can hold a special tutorial on counting for the Congresscritters. (Seafarious, look for an e-mail)

#3 How about, "For the next six months it would be better if the Democrats stopped being traitorous criminals aiding and abetting those who are killing American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan." That sounds a bit more accurate to my ear.

#4 Sorry mister, no deal. You are not in a position to deal. People with a cut and run mentality don't get to negotiate for anything. This is cut and run with a new face. Putting a dress on a Pig doesn't change the fact it is still a Pig.

The Democratic plan is cut and run because it's based on BDS. The Dem leadership and congress critters have a BDS profound complex. Until they loose it our country is fighting this struggle with almost both hands tied behind our back. It going to be a long struggle so the Dems need to wake up and get with the program. This is about our personal and cultural survival and they refuse to understand it.

No deals.

#5 I don't think there has been any lack of candor or info on our deployment to Iraq. To say different makes me and the President, a liar, and I really resent that. What I believe has actually occurred is th eDonk party has yet to find a winning strategy now that they have embraced the anti-American Kos kids/Move-On crowd and recognize they're fucked if someone calls them on it.
Soooo... IMNSHO we're dealing with opportunistic anti-American liars seeking any edge, including damage to nat'l security, to get back in power. The answer is No F*&KING WAY
