18. Until they stray one iota from the DU orthodoxy, of course.
Then, they'll be flamed as Puke bootlickers by many here.

24. If they're actually licking Puke boots, fine.
But it's not always realistic to insist on absolute ideological purity. Just something to think about.

26. It is not ideological purity to insist on an end to genocide...
It is not ideological purity to seek to uphold the constitution...
It is not ideological purity to seek to prevent & prosecute war crimes...
It is not ideological purity to stop a war that was started on lies, which has no hope of success (says Gen. wes clark), and which is steadily undermining US security at home...

7. Make the Repubs be on record as supporting the continued fiasco.
They need to pay the price, just as we're all paying the price for letting them get their way.

Talk and talk and talk and talk...

8. I want them to pop their chops from now until, if that's what it takes...
I'm sure that there are a few repubs who are worried about spraining their tongues but considering that they've been soaked in blood for the better part of 5 years, it shouldn't be too much of a difference.

Geez, I'm haveing to research this stuff (limited knowledge of this genre). That is a great quote and pic. Nice blog too, the 'elessarsrealm.com.'

Violence is totally unacceptable except in self defense, real self defense. Hold those responsible
for crimes against the world responsible.

17. althecat, sweetie, I'd sign on just to be able to look at Viggo!
Seriously, this is going to be extremely important and will impact everything the Senate does for the next 2 years.

Onward to 2009! Give 'em hell, Harry.

Get them on the books as the "troop supporters" they are, and let them be held accountable by their constituents for their blind loyalty.

Go you Dems!
