What will it take to pressure the Republicans to end the war in Iraq?

[liberaldemocrat7]

What will it take?

[Virginia Dare]

1. A GOP debacle in the 2008 elections...

that's about the only thing that will sway them I'm afraid.

[liberaldemocrat7]

2. So you say that we need to wait another 16 months?

Yeah that will do it. :sarcasm:

[treestar]

3. A tax revolt big enough to leave them without funds for the war

It's about getting $$ to their cronies in the military industrial complex.

[liberaldemocrat7]

5. So you say boycotting the paying of taxes will work

but boycotting of the major Republican contributors will not work, and people will risk arrest and fines with a boycott of paying taxes?

[BlooInBloo]

4. Nothing. Republicans will never end any war. They love war.

[Lucinda]

6. A Republican only draft should do it

[Totally Committed]

7. Democrats that honor their mandate, and represent the people who voted for them, would be a start...

But first, about 95% of them have to re-grow their spines, and tell their corporate sponsors to take a hike, and I don't see either of those things happening anytime soon.

13. I don't know. I watch Rahm Emmanuel on Bill Maher. We have

to target Publican Lite. (Now entering the way back machine. He's a Daley Dem from 1968.)

[EFerrari]

19. And another way to put that is, leadership. n/t

[AllyCat]

8. Send all their kids to serve in the war.

Actually, they probably don't have that much heart. Nevermind. Actually, I think maybe a boycott of their donors might work. Has it been tried? What if MoveOn started it?

[liberaldemocrat7]

9. Look at my signature

I have advocated a boycott of Republican contributors in one shape or form for about 9 years now.

I have sent email to moveon for the last 3 years asking them to do a boycott of Republican contributors to no avail.

Moveon would rather send petitions that have no power over the Republicans and the Republicans promptly ignore Moveon.

[AllyCat]

12. Then I'll start telling them the same thing. It's really worth a try

If Repukes don't get their money, they'll probably stop this nonsense. They like their money even more than war.

[McCamy Taylor]

10. Re-open Congressional ENRON Investigations, Give Skilling Immunity to Testify vs. WH

Bush-Cheney would end the War tomorrow if Congress were to re-open investigations into the price gouging of Calfornia, with Jeff Skilling as their chief witness with an offer of immunity on the table in exchange for his testimony.

[and-justice-for-all]

11. You have to end the vicious cycle...

A) More then half the country stops going to work for a month or B) we all refuse to pay our taxes.

[annabanana]

14. CALLING JACK BAUER!!

Enhanced Interrogation Techniques may be our only hope! The clock is ticking. . . .

[2rth2pwr]

15. What will it take to pressure the Democrats to end the war in Iraq?

After the debate on Wednesday this question should be asked about them all.

[tsuki]

16. A Truman Commission and loss of PROFITS. nt

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

17. Having the Democrats defund the war.

Something they seem unwilling to do to date.

[DesertRat]

18. Congress needs to cut off the funding.

I think that's the only way this occupation (I don't call it a war) will be stopped.

[emilyg]

21. yep.

[BringEmOn]

20. Threat of total election reform.

If they have to win an election honestly, they're screwed.

[Disturbed]

22. "Nothing. Republicans will never end any war. They love war."

War is good for the MIC, Multi-Corps., Oil Corps & Media Corps.Corps.
Oil & "Defense" Corps. are the Repugs & Dems biggest money suppliers.
Neither party wants to end the US Occupation of Iraq.
