another $50 Billion for Iraq? .. put the war enablers on your shit list !!

i just received the following email from United for Peace and Justice ... the email indicates that the Senate will vote this Wednesday on another $50 Billion to continue the occupation of Iraq ...

with each previous appropriation, we were told the money was for such necessary things as reconstruction (what happened to all those funds that were allocated for that?) and to buy gear for the troops (most troops still have not been reimbursed for gear they had to purchase on their own although funds were allocated in the previous "supplemental") ...

the truth is we are just pouring bad money after bad money in Iraq ... more money means nothing more than continued occupation ... the time for negotiating with Democrats is over ... it's time to pick sides ... this supplemental will separate the bush appeasers from the progressives ...

Americans and especially Democrats have had enough of bush's madness ... we know the truth about Iraq and we should not tolerate any more excuses from republicans or Democrats ... it's time to say "NO MORE MONEY FOR WAR" ... and those who fight against us on this do not, and should not, represent us ...

Please keep kicked until after the vote on Wednesday ... thanks ...

She is so pro-war, as well as beginning to carefully couch her talk on pro-choice as the 'tragedy of abortion'. I do not think she can win, and I hope this party does not give her the chance. I think she is a capable woman, but again, as soon as their eyes are on the prize, they (candidates) start to get all unglued.

NO MORE BLOOD MONEY

over language about torture?

Guess need to prepare for invasion from UFO. The Martians are coming lol.

I've noticed the DU GDP forum has been very dull lately. This may do better in the GEN forum.
