More of our kids will die in Iraq to satisfy the republican base
How fucking pathetic is that? The scum republicans in the house passed a resolution which is bottom line, my subject line. "christian conservatives" do not give one flying dog fuck about our kids dying. Getting americans kids killed is how republicans get votes. And they are so proud of that.

Why don't the flag waving mother fuckers go die in the desert if its such a great fucking idea.

1. but if we cut and run now, those deaths will have been in vain! (urrrrrrp)
'scuse me while I puke.
that last-ditch defense of this goddamn war is heard more and more often now.....which, as a parallel to Vietnam, tells us they're running out of excuses.

4. I want the flag waving, bush supporting mother fuckers
to go to iraq now and die for whatever fucking "christian" reason they think is appropriate.

"Conservative" logic - its better that more, rather than less die in vain (as long as someone else is doing the dying.)

2. they have to declare victory in Iraq so they can spread freedom to Iran
this declaration h Res 861 (Did you READ it? What a load of horsehockey!) is just more window dressing fort he coming elections. More trying to look all patriotic and steadfast in light of Zarqawi's death and bush's little road trip.

No - they don't care - it isn't THEIR KIDS fighting and dying. Nor will it be.

3. It's amazing how much of our generation skipped serving
the country in uniform to escape being in harms way, and now they are the same dickheads a generation later leaving others to die because their ego's can't admit that they screwed up Bigtime by invading Iraq for nothing.

6. So right teammate
The fine upstanding "christians" are too "proud" to admit they have been wrong for six years now. What's wrong with that picture?

5. "Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose,
In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes,
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back,
Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black.

I wear it for the sick and lonely old,
For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold,
I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been,
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men.

And, I wear it for the thousands who have died,
Believen' that the Lord was on their side,
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died,
Believen' that we all were on their side.


:cry:

8. Face it the party that likes war is in power
and I fear you can count on a lot of people voting to keep it in power. Their sons are not dying and they think it is worth it. I think they may very well stay in power because they fear we will also lose this war. As if you really can win with terrorist. They just go underground and wait. Bush will now say the boys may be coming home to get the middle votes but lets face it his part of the party likes war. I really am not sure at all that the Dem. will take the House or the War House. Better name than the White House.Just to many wars and we are not doing well as am empire. I just wish some one would run on no more wars.
