Dish it out, but can't take it? Sooo republican...
Well the republicans are back at it again, questioning the Patriotism of the dissenters, in the little circus on the Hill yesterday here's John Cornyn (R-Really Stupid Texan) berating Teddy Kennedy, every brain-dead republicans favorite target:
“The American people understand that we are engaged already in the presidential election and that there are those who criticize the president’s handling of the war in Iraq in order to gain political advantage,” Cornyn said. “I find something unsavory about comments of those who seek political advantage in questioning our commitment to our troops.”
While Cornyn named no names, he may have had in mind Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., who had charged earlier in the hearing that it was “unforgivable” that Pentagon planners had not figured out how to prevent attacks on American soldiers.
Of course, the junior idiot from Texas might want to heed the words of a fellow republican Texan:
"I cannot support a failed foreign policy... But before we get deeper embroiled into this Balkan quagmire, I think that an assessment has to be made of the Kosovo policy so far. President Clinton has never explained to the American people why he was involving the U.S. military in a civil war in a sovereign nation, other than to say it is for humanitarian reasons, a new military/foreign policy precedent."
Tom Delay -- Congressional Record, "Removal of United States Armed Forces from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia," 4/28/99
I don't think that President Sign-and-Avoid has ever actually explained why we are in Iraq...there have been lots and lots of lies, but no substantive explanations.
Election year politics be damned...it's STFU or else (again). Don't they ever get tired of looking like Unka Karls Ass-Monkeys?
I guess that even the republicans don't seem to remember one of the immutable laws of nature: what goes up, must come down.

Comments:
They just never, never frigging stop, do they? Never can anyone ask a question, demand an explanation, or even merely disagree without these huns, these thugs, going into defense mode with circled wagons and guns drawn.
Ann Coulter just said something the other day about how liberals are complaining about Iraq because "some soldier's hair might get mussed." After we boot Bush in 2004, nothing would satisfy me more than to round up Coulter and all these other right wing nuts, SHAVE THEIR HEADS LIKE NAZI COLLABORATORS and parade them through the streets on a march of shame.
I'm pissed, and I just don't even know what direction to turn in anymore because every direction I face, there is an angry republican with a baseball bat facing back at me. Is insanity far behind?

um, it's called telling the truth.

I think this problem must be disscussed in offline. Or ICQ....
