Chuck Hagel - Northeastern Liberal?
The executive branch of our government would have you believe that the War in Iraq would be over by now if the press would just stop lying and all the liberals would just be quiet. In fact, they are now complaining that there's not enough reporting of the enemy body count. Is it 2005 or 1971? Here's a current outlook on the war by a U.S. Senator, a member of the Intelligience and Foreign Relations Committees, a Vietnam Vet with 2 Purple Hearts, and did I mention, a REPUBLICAN:
"Things aren't getting better; they're getting worse...It's like they're just making it up as they go along. The reality is that we're losing in Iraq."
Of course, I'm sure the Swift Boat goons will soon be attacking Chuck Hagel much the same way they did John Kerry and the Bush 2000 team did to John McCain in South Carolina. And we liberals are supposed to be the anti-military ones.
A recent NY Times / CBS poll shows 51% of Americans think we never should have went into Iraq. My question is this: What the hell did 10% of this country think was going to happen when we invaded a Muslim country with no Muslim support? Its getting to the point where I have more respect for the Chicken Hawks than the fence sitters. The same idiots that just reelected W now think he's doing a bad job. I used to believe in a universal franchise, but now I think there should be some kind of current events quiz before you can vote.

2. Did you know that Christ alone can get you into Heaven?

A. no- please step into our tent here for a 1 hour seminar with our leader Jerry Fallwell after which you will be asked the question again.
3. Did you know that the Gays and Saddam Hussein attacked us on Sept. 11th?
A. yes- go to the front of the voting line.
A. No- your in the wrong precinct--you can vote a provisional ballot and I promise we will not burn it right away.
4. Did you know that George Bush can not have a beer with you because he is an alcoholic or share cocaine with you because he is a recovering addict?
A. yes-- get to the back of the line you Liberal, Communist, truth seeker.
