#1 A maddening irony. During the Rumsfeld regime the dems were screaming "quagmire," admitting defeat in Iraq, keen on disengageing, pulling out. Now General Petreus is kicking a** and running the bad guys out of Baghdad the dems are screaming "quagmire, pull out, end the funding." They are never satisfied.

#2 Do we really need a Gen. Pelosi?

Answer--What we need is a patriot for a speaker.

We need a speaker who has been there, been a soldier, slept in a fox hole that might end up his grave, been so afraid he cant speak, carried a dead friend, spent the holidays in some shit hole country alone and away from family, understands what it costs to win and to lose, willing to do whats right, willing to see an action through to the end no matter how hard it gets, and we need a speaker that understands the constitution is a damn site more important than the Republican or Democratic party and certainly more important than oneself.

#3 Oh, and while I'm dreaming-how about the winning lotto numbers? I think the odds of winning lotto are better than getting a patriot for a speaker.

#4 A generation from now -- when some of those who are now fighting have run for office and won, and been in office long enough to have risen through the ranks -- your dream will become a reality, 49Pan. Congress will once again hold rank upon rank of Jackson Democrats and whatever the equivalent is for Republicans.
