Dems Drop Troop Pullout Dates From Iraq Bill: Arming the Left: Is the time now?
Edited on Tue May-22-07 07:36 PM by rec_report
Useless is as useless does: Democrats Drop Troop Pullout Dates From Iraq Bill 22 May 2007 Congressional DemocRATs relented today on their insistence that a war spending measure sought by Dictator Bush also set a date for withdrawing troops from Iraq. The decision to back down, described by senior lawmakers and aides, was a wrenching reversal for some Democrats, who saw their election triumph as a call to force an end to the war. (Arming the Left: Is the time now? --by Charles Southwell 21 Oct 2003 As long as we pose no REAL threat to the powers-that-be, to what is shaping up into (is) a dictatorship, we will continue to be ignored. Right now, we are ignored because we present no organized power to fight this onslaught of anti-democratic, totalitarian government that we are up against...)

Yes, and before criticism is heaped upon me for this post, bear in mind that KKKarl Rove, Cheney Halliburton, Rudy Giuliani (he has literally made a *killing* on the 9/11 terrorist attacks) and Exxon Mobil have been laughing at the so-called 'Left' and the Democrats since the first GOP coup d'etat in 2000.
As to typical demonstrations: Permitted protests in Washington with people wearing pink sporting clown noses is *just not working.* Recall that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and expecting different results.
I mean, what's it going to take for us to reach the 'tipping point?'
Cheers,

1. Is it possible that a pullout date attached to funding for soldiers was not passable?
And if so, is this blanket and total condemnation not a bit silly?

Fight the battles you can win, in a way that allows you to win.

2. Let's face it: The Democrats have been surrendering to this regime...
Edited on Tue May-22-07 07:32 PM by rec_report
since December 12, 2000.
I actually believe that the Iraq war is a cover for the corpora-, pharma-terrorism that has been running rampant since the fist GOP coup d'etat. The corpora-terrorists installed the Bush regime, so that they could benefit financially from a Bush dictatorship.
We really need to resist the Bush empire before they kill us all.

3. Do you fight the battles that you can win, or fight the ...
... battles that need fighting. Seems I've heard that somewhere.

5. What is that supposed to mean?
What is it you want to happen, and in it's absence you see something akin to being fucked in the ass?

6. You've lost me Karl, but I'm old, and not too quick on the uptake.
