Democrats should not be scared of conservative name-calling, and they should not ignore the fact that Bush is not representing the vast majority of Americans.

The people have spoken. They don't want more troops in Iraq. They don't want the status quo. They want to redeploy, and soon. It's time the Democrats give these people a voice in Washington.

1. Are the chickenhawks getting scared?
More troops to Iraq? Enlarging the Army and Marine Corps? Ya mean my flag waving, ultra patriotic ass might actually have to finally provide a service to my country? Whoa, the next thing ya know, "conservative patriots" will be insisting that a president tells the truth (about WMD!)

My hate is rational.

2. the Dems would be supported by the public
in strongly resisting troop build-up in Iraq. The voters spoke loudly on this subject last month and, of course, Junior has a tin ear and is doing precisely the opposite. Dems need to fight hard on this and get the US the hell out of Iraq tout de suite.

4. agreed
The Democrats need to stop acting as if the only ones supporting redeployment are "cut and run" liberals with "San Francisco values."

3. I really wonder about the 32% supporting the status quo
Frankly, I'd support more troops before supporting the status quo. The status quo, aka stay the course, is what hasn't worked.

Having said that, what I am for is cutting off funds for the war and impeaching the bastards who lied us into it.
