Every War has a price and everybody must pay
I was thinking, it's time to make those "Liberals don't support the war" RW'ers shut up.

I know I'm going to take some fire for this, but bear with me, I want to do what I think is best for our party, our nation, and our world.

I propose that we pledge support for what the Bush Administration is doing, as long as it does not disrupt the Iraqi People's way of life.

Leaving Iraq now would hurt the Iraqi People.

But, the Republicans WILL pay a price for our support.

They MUST completely drop the Social and Economic parts of their Platform.

They made a mistake going to war.

They caused this occupation.

They caused this mess.

They have no right to see their Agenda pass.

I know this is controversial, but please CIVILLY discuss it.

2. It's good to see that nobody is flaming me. LOL.
This is no longer about "wrong" or "right".

It's time to call them out on their bluff.

What's more important to them, this war or their agenda?

3. It's not either/or; war is part of their agenda.

4. It was not meant as a flame, just a course correction.

5. I see
I've posted this in more detail.

We aren't submitting to them, I think we need to work out a Compromise though.

We're going to call them on their bluff, either way it's going to be interesting.

6. Soak the Rich
Make the tax on income of over 200,000 a year 50% or more. That would go a long way toward paying for this adventurism.

7. That's something I thought about but did not include in this post
Everybody must pay, and that means the Rich too.

In my other post, I said Trickle Down Economics had to go the way of the Dinosaur if we want this Compromise to work.
