As our soldiers die in Iraq so the Iraqis can have "freedom and democracy", we are asked to surrender our same freedoms here in America. George Bush cannot make us secure. Those that think so are terribly misguided. Those that are willing to give up their freedoms for that security are more than just misguided. They are dangerous to us all.

As a Democrat, I believe eternal vigilance is the cost of liberty and that eternal vigilance begins in our own backyard. I do not agree with the cowards that are willing to give up everything so they can be "safe"...

2. imo...
It is simple points like this that the Democrats need to make. Also, like the question on C-SPAN, Bush and the Republicans were in charge when 9/11 happened - not Bill Clinton. I think those are winning points for Democrats. Simple and easy for Americans to understand.

3. They are doing all they can to make us like Iraq!
As soon as the RW militias take to the street we'll just about be there. Oh, the Minutemen....

4. I will second that
We need to fight the usurpation of our freedoms or there will be none left for "them" to hate us for.

5. Maybe they understand democracy better than us
I see that the Sunni and secular parties are demanding a re-vote because they were cheated by the ruling government in the elections. They are having huge protests in central Iraq.

Sound familiar. Maybe we should have done the same thing in Ohio and Florida.

Same here. And the economy and jobs and outsourcing and CAFTA and the FTAA and open borders and a shit load of other things the republican-light framing of Air America's "Fightin' Dems" ignores.

I'm so mad at Tim Dunn I could spit.

You're on LOU DOBBS you moron! Talk about outsourcing, CAFTA, open borders, HAYES!

Don't just tell me you're better than me because of your uniform you elitist pro-life trial lawyer!

DUNN: Well certainly, I'd like to first say that there's no one that would support the military and our servicemen and women in Iraq and Afghanistan more than someone such as myself that have served in Iraq.

Air America, Markos and the DCCC should be shot for treason for undoing the Democratic Party this way.

It's the economy STUPID!
