Two More 'Cut-And-Run' republicans Join Chorus Of Criticism Over Iraq

[bigtree]

from Washington Post today:

In an interview from Israel yesterday, Rep. Christopher Shays (R-Conn.) said the political will of the United States is being stretched to the limit. He promised to offer a time frame for troop withdrawals when he returns next week from his 14th trip to Iraq.

"We have got to find a way to come to some kind of consensus, so we can do what's right for our country and what's right for the Iraqis," said Shays, an ardent supporter of the war who is in a political dogfight with his antiwar Democratic opponent. "We have to say 'This is the latest we will leave' and be able to live with that."...

On Thursday, Rep. Michael G. Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) wrote a letter to constituents declaring that he was saying no to "President Bush's 'stay-the-course' strategy" in Iraq.

3. And yet the M$M proclaimed Lamont to be a "cut and run" Democrat who

will push the party so far left that the Democrats couldn't possibly win next November. :eyes:

4. Ken Mehlman said they could...

They were given permission to separate from GW on Iraq.. But they will NOT be allowed to veer off track by bringing up how B* has screwed our National Security against AlQaida or other radical Islamists.

"Cut and Run" from bush non policy is the smartest thing any person could do..Democrat, republicon, Independent, Green..

There was a clip around here of melhman on The Daily Show saying ..it's "adapt and win"...Jon Stewart said.."that's the beauty of propoganda..you can just say something and two years of "stay the course is wiped out instantly" and then they they played a whole bunch of clips showing bush saying.."stay the course".

You smear your own feces on the wall, and suddenly

10. Wow, should we guess which website sent you over here to spam the board?

I'll bet it wasn't Free Republic either. Though your site is probably a front for them.
