I’m so fucking pissed I can’t stand it.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Democrats face a host of risks as they move toward more substantive steps to tie President Bush’s hands with funding restrictions on the Iraq war.

Leaders are wary of allowing the more intense anti-war activists define the party’s image.

Simmering divisions within the ranks over how soon to move – and how far to go – could quickly diminish a tactical victory this week on a resolution criticizing Bush’s conduct of the war.

The Democrats cannot lead. They don’t know the meaning of the word. Cowards. Spineless limp dicked cowards. The anti war groups are leading this so called debate- and we all know these groups are more than anti war. They are anti America. And the Democrats chose who they keep company with.

Senior House Democrats will huddle next week during a congressional break to plot strategy on their next move, which will be seeking to restrict some of Bush’s Iraq war spending by establishing high readiness and equipment targets for troops and requiring those targets be met first.

In other words the Democrats are going to not only cut and run as always, they’re going to leave the troops high and dry. Without means to defend themselves.

I’m so fucking pissed I can’t stand it.

Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania, tasked by Democrats to direct the next step, says his approach “stops the surge, for all intents and purposes,” and would “force a redeployment – not by taking money away, by redirecting money.”

How can the King of the Cowards look at himself in the mirror every night? The Democrats have no plan of their own and never have. It’s always been- run away waving the white flag. Recall Vietnam. Only the stakes are higher this time…our own country is at stake. The Democrats chose who they keep company with: The anti war groups, who hate America and all it stands for.

Former Rep. Martin Frost, D-Texas, said Democrats have made a “very clear point” this week by putting the House on record against Bush’s troop buildup and now must be careful not to overplay their hand by seeking to cut off funding or limit deployments right away.

“They don’t want to be a scapegoat for the Bush administration’s failures,” Frost said. “This is Bush’s war, and there should be no confusion about who’s war it is, and Democrats should not set themselves up to have that done to them.”

Too late. They have defined this war as a lost cause, not just Iraq but the war on terrorism in general. As always, when America is at war, the enemy wins and we can thank the weak willed, scared-of-their-own-shadows Democrat non leaders of this country.

I’m so fucking pissed I can’t stand it.

Frost said he did not want to “prejudge” Murtha’s effort to restrict funds, but cautioned that Democrats should not yield to intense pressure by outside anti-war groups for swift action to end the conflict.

Democratic leaders “will have to decide how to deal with the anti-war groups in the months ahead,” Frost said.

Murtha’s effort appears crafted to hamper Bush’s strategy without opening Democrats to the charge that their party is abandoning troops in harm’s way.

That could be a difficult argument to make, however, some analysts say, given that Bush and Republicans are determined to paint Democrats as eager to choke off funding.

History is already judging the moves, behind the scene jockeying of funds and the politics involved with this effort. These leaders are not leading; they are following. Our troops will lose the most in this and does anyone think Murtha, Pelosi and others who are members of the Party of Defeat care? They don’t.

I’m so fucking pissed I can’t stand it.

Privately, some Republicans concede that Democrats have a chance to tie Bush’s hands without paying a political price if they carefully handle an upcoming debate on the president’s request for nearly $100 billion in additional money for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Republicans would be hard-pressed to reject measures that shift funds or place conditions on spending, such as those envisioned by Murtha, they said.

THIS ISN’T ABOUT BUSH. This is about the troops, who have become nothing more than pawns to the Party of Defeatists. This is about a war with an ideology that wants to see America cease to exist…oh wait…I forget, the Democrats have the same goal as the enemy.

A survey conducted Feb. 7-11 by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press shows that while a majority of Democrats support cutting off money for the troop increase, most independent voters and a majority of the general public do not.

If the leaders here could lead, this wouldn’t be an issue. If the leaders would do their job, which included expanding discussion as to WHO the enemy is, WHY the enemy must be defeated, WHAT the costs are, and WHY we cannot simply walk away from it America might be better prepared for the truth, and consequences. But no. The Democrats want to concede. They want to run away like the cowardly lion. Leaders they are NOT.

I’m so fucking pissed I can’t stand it.
And never have I been SO ashamed to be an American as I am right now. To abandon our troops…to use them as pawns in the political games of big tough Washington limp dick politics, PISSES ME OFF TO NO END. Lead, follow or get out of the way? The defeatists need to get out of the way and leave the leading to those who have balls, who love this country and those who won’t sell out to those to hate it. FUCKERS- every one of them should never sleep soundly again.
