Webb Amendment Goes Down In Flames...UPDATED

And so it should. Richard The Dick Turbin Durbin is whining and continuing with the usual proven to be false rhetoric as losers tend to do.

They are trying to get a differing Murtha Slow Bleed Ignorance with Schumer parroting that which Reid yammers on about and they are quoting the poll taken in Iraq and NOT listening to the Generals and Commanders in the field. Imagine that.

I guess no one has informed these idiots that we are winning or, they KNOW we are winning and this is not to be allowed...for political gain.

Feingold's amendment is nothing more than another slow bleed travesty. It is "Rather" evident that they haven't a clue and they will soon be overwhelmed by the Conservative Tsunami.

Don't fall for the Leftinistra ignorance and stupidity.

Effort to Shift Course in Iraq Fails in Senate

By DAVID M. HERSZENHORN and CARL HULSE
A proposal that Senate Democrats put forward as their best chance of changing course in Iraq died on Wednesday, as Republicans stood firmly behind President Bush.

Poor trolls.


UPDATE: Ron Christie has a few words for Webb, like maybe he should check on the Constitution before he tries to bring his retarded amendment back into play a third time. Personally, I think he should have checked it the first time but, that's just me.

From the Pundits Blog: Senate Needs to Give Webb Amendment a Rest
Posted by Ron Christie

As I watch Congress seek to confer federal rights to enemy combatants (read: terrorists) and micromanage the president’s ability to wage the war on terrorism, I was struck by the fact that many lawmakers have apparently forgotten to read a simple document that governs the laws they seek to enact. That simple document is known as the Constitution of the United States — a document Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.) has apparently failed to consult as he crafted an amendment due on the Senate floor any day now. Read More

ATTENTION People of Illinois!

NOW HEAR THIS! NOW HEAR THIS!! ATTENTION TO ORDERS! PLEASE STAND BY FOR A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!! NOW IS YOUR CHANCE FOR A "NEW CHANGE IN DIRECTION".

A challenger has arisen out of the primordial ooze of Moonbat Fraud Durbin.

Hello, my name is Steve Sauerberg and I am the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate. I can no longer stand back and watch the lack of foresight, the poor judgment, and the mismanagement in the United States Senate without taking action. My decision to run for the U.S. Senate involved many difficult decisions such as leaving my medical practice, my staff and my wonderful patients. I have never been a candidate for public office and will offer new energy, fresh ideas and true passion for our nation. My opponent, Democrat Dick Durbin, offers you three things as well: extremism, liberalism and divisiveness.

New Energy - After more than 25 years of successful medical practice, I offer you the same commitment and dedicated service I have provided to my patients. While I have been building a successful medical practice and working with families, my opponent, Senator Dick Durbin, has been on the government payroll for the last 37 years. Quite simply, he is a part of the problem in Washington D.C. For example, on March 23, 2007, Durbin voted in favor of what Americans for Tax Reform called, "the largest tax increase in American history." Durbin was wrong.

New Optimism - Even though our elected officials, including Dick Durbin, have not fixed our many problems, such as immigration, social security, healthcare and more, this does not mean they cannot be fixed. September 11, 2001, with all its tragedies, was also an inspiring wake-up call as we all watched our First Responders and so many other volunteers come together to help those in need. Both the tragedy and the victory of that encourage me to step up and fight to improve our quality of life.

Unfortunately, Durbin has been on the wrong side of the issues too many times. Durbin voted against The Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit Program that is working so well for seniors. He voted against building a fence on the U.S.-Mexican border. He stood on the floor of the U.S. Senate and compared our troops to Nazis. Incredibly, he has stated that he knew the intelligence on Iraq was faulty, but he chose to conceal this vital information. Again, Durbin's positions do not represent those of the people of our state. The people of Illinois deserve better, and I can provide you with vision, honesty and leadership.

New Solutions - I have new ideas and solutions and will be sharing them with you over the next year and a half as I campaign for the United States Senate. They are fiscally sound solutions, not the same old "tax-and-spend" excesses of Dick Durbin, who, in 2006, was ranked the Most Liberal Member in the U.S. Senate by the highly respected National Journal magazine (March 3, 2007).

I invite you to read more throughout this website and join my team so that together we can build a better future. I appreciate your time and ask you to sign-up on our e-mail list so that I can continue to share with you my vision and plans for Illinois.

Thank you,

OK folks. Do the trackback,cross-post and email this around thing.

WE are the NEW MEDIA and we have the Leftinistra worried and running.

I have seen this letter before and have written about it before but not here at Townhall. This message is STILL appropriate and the message needs to be circulated again and again and again…

Kodos to Spree at Wake up America and Miss Beth at Miss Beth’s Victory Dance

Insight of a Sergeant Major
J.D. Pendry, CSM, U.S.Army (retired)

“Jimmy Carter, you’re the father of the Islamic Nazi movement. You threw the Shah under the bus, welcomed the Ayatollah home and then lacked the spine to confront the terrorists when they took our embassy and our people hostage. You’re the Runner-in-Chief.

Bill Clinton, you played “ring around the Lewinsky” while the terrorists were at war with us. You got us into a fight with them in Somalia, and then you ran from it. Your weak-willed responses embolden the killers. Each time you failed to respond adequately they grew bolder, until 9/11.

John Kerry, dishonesty is your most prominent attribute. You lied about American Soldiers in Vietnam. Your military service, like your life, is more fiction than fact. You’ve accused our Soldiers of terrorizing women and in Iraq. You called Iraq “the wrong war, wrong place, wrong time”… the same words you used to describe Vietnam. You’re a fake. You want to run from Iraq and abandon the Iraqis to murderers just as you did the Vietnamese. Iraq, like Vietnam, is another war that you were for, before you were against it.

John Murtha, you said our military was broken. You said we can’t win militarily in Iraq. You accused United States Marines of cold-blooded murder without proof. And said we should re-deploy to Okinawa. Okinawa, John? And the Democrats call you their military expert. Are you sure you didn’t suffer a traumatic brain injury while you were off building your war hero resume? You’re a sad, pitiable, corrupt and washed up politician. You’re not a Marine sir. You wouldn’t amount to a pimple on a real Marine’s a*s*s. You’re a phony and a disgrace. Run away John.

Dick Durbin, you accused our Soldiers at Guantanamo of being Nazis, tenders of Soviet style gulags and as bad as the regime of Pol Pot who murdered two million of his own people after your party abandoned South East Asia to the Communists. Now you want to abandon the Iraqis to the same fate. History was not a good teacher for you, was it? See Dick run.

Ted Kennedy, for days on end you held poster-sized pictures from Abu Grhaib in front of any available television camera. Al Jazeera quoted you saying that Iraq’s torture chambers were open under new management. Did you see the news this week Teddy? The Islamic Nazis demonstrate real torture for you again. If you truly supported our troops, you’d show the world poster-sized pictures of that atrocity and demand the annihilation of it. Your legislation stripping support from the South Vietnamese which led to a communist victory there. You’re a bloated fool bent on repeating the same historical blunder that turned freedom-seeking people over to homicidal, genocidal maniacs. To paraphrase John Murtha, all while sitting on your wide, gin-soaked rear-end in Washington.

Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Carl Levine, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Russ Feingold, Hillary Clinton, Pat Leahy, Chuck Schumer et al ad nauseam. Every time you stand in front of television cameras and broadcast to the Islamic Nazis that we went to war because our President lied. That the war is wrong and our Soldiers are torturers. That we should leave Iraq, you give the Islamic butchers - the same ones that tortured and mutilated American Soldiers - cause to think that we will run away again and all they have to do is hang on a little longer.

American news media, the New YorkTimes particularly. Each time you publish stories about national defense secrets and our intelligence gathering methods, you become one with the sub-human pieces of camel dung that torture and mutilate the bodies of American Soldiers. You can’t strike up the courage to publish cartoons, but you can help Al Qaeda destroy my country. Actually, you are more dangerous to us than Al Qaeda is. Think about that each time you face Mecca to admire your Pulitzer.

You are America’s axis of idiots. Your collective stupidity will destroy us. Self-serving politics and terrorist abetting news scoops are more important to you than our national security or the lives of innocent civilians and Soldiers. It bothers you that defending ourselves gets in the way of your elitist sport of politics and your ignorant editorializing. There is as much blood on your hands as is on the hands of murdering terrorists. Don’t ever doubt that. Your frolics will only serve to extend this war as they extended Vietnam. If you want our Soldiers home, as you claim, knock off the crap and try supporting your country ahead of supporting your silly political aims and aiding our enemies. Yes, I’m questioning your patriotism. Your loyalty ends with -self. I’m also questioning why you’re stealing air that decent Americans could be breathing. You don’t deserve the protection of our men and women in uniform. You need to run away from this war and this country. Leave the war to the people who have the will to see it through and the country to people who are willing to defend it.

No Commander in Chief, you don’t get off the hook either. Our country has two enemies. Those who want to destroy us from the outside and those who attempt it from within. Your Soldiers are dealing with the outside force. It’s your obligation to support them by confronting the axis of idiots. America must hear it from you that these people are harming our country, abetting the enemy and endangering our safety. Well up a little anger please, and channel it toward the appropriate target. You must prosecute those who leak national security secrets to the media. You must prosecute those in the media who knowingly publish those secrets. Our Soldiers need you to confront the enemy that they cannot. They need you to do it now.”

This is long but this retired CSM lets it all hang out! This should be sent to every person in the USA and that includes the President and the rest of our country’s leaders…It’s time we as Americans stood together!
