The Republican Congressional leadership, or lack thereof is almost vomit inducing. The likes of Chuck Hagel and John Warner are poisoning the GOP with their spineless wavering, joining the ranks of groupie under the Pelosi/Reid gang. Warner, formerly a staunch supporter of the President and the War on Terror, has let his aging wisdom fade away.
John Warner, in all his 'wisdom', says that President Bush needs to "consider all options and alternatives for achieving the strategic goals". WOW! great idea John. Since Bush hasn't already done that it's a good idea that he should do that now; good call Senator. Of course we all know that Bush sits around twiddling his thumbs in the oval office, ignoring the multitudes of intelligence reports, so called commissions, and countless advisors. It might just be me, but I do believe that our President is just a bit smarter than that as the ELECTED leader of the free world (twice).
The GOP leaders cannot fall into this scheme to undermine our President, and especially our troops. How long are we going to continue to send a message of weakness and retreat to our enemies and even our friends. Where is the American spirit? Whatever happened to United We Stand, Divided We Fall? This is getting to be disheartening.
Some of the Republican leaders may lack the spine to stand firm in their convictions, but thank goodness for America that the dems lack the intestinal fortitude to even put theirs to a vote. Thank goodness once more that the dems are more interested in playing politics than actually enacting those politics. On the other hand, it seems the GOP lawmakers are lacking the same fortitude to put the dems to the test.
All this talk, and that is all this is, talk, about the cutting of funds to the men and women in uniform needs to be put to the test. The Republican members of Congress need to call them out. Put that in writing and put it to the vote. Make the libs put their money where their mouths are, or rather, remove the money; okay, bad cliché but nonetheless, where is the Congressman/woman who will step up and challenge them? I sure wish I knew.
But what do I know?
