It's wonderful that you are so concerned about protecting Democratic hopes for the '08 elections.
But, how many added people have to die to preserve those hopes? Do you intend to provide the shoulder for the families of the dead to cry on? Are you going to replace the income lost to the families of the added dead caused by your desire to keep Democrats in power? Are you going to visit the graves with flowers and grieve for the husbands, wives, sons and daughters?
Are these harsh questions? You betcha! I was in attendance for the last national "Stop the War" drama. Mrs. Pelosi, I was in your San Francisco in 1965-1970. Mrs. Pelosi, I'll remind you of what happened then because neither party was listening to The People ... below the fold.
Mrs. Pelosi, Mr. Reid, I was there in San Francisco, sometimes wearing Olive Drab when called up and going to classes otherwise. When neither party would stop the Vietnam war and turned a deaf ear to The People.
Do we The People, once more, have to show you:
- The state governor (Reagan in CA) telling the President that his states reserve could not be deployed to 'Nam because the citizenry was about to explode.
- U.S. citizens supporting a student take-over of the Office of the Chancellor of the University of California at Berkeley.
- Riots involving 250,000 people in the streets of Berkeley.
- Reserves with bayonets fixed, facing down a crowd of a quarter million U.S. citizens.
- Reserve units paying their members who were students $25 per report on anti-war protests/protestors.
- Riots and shootings at Kent State.
- Mass marches on Washington D.C. with outright defiance of police.
The marches are already starting, are you prepared to wait for the anger to build?
Is that what it takes for you to realize The People want more than non-binding wrist slaps on our criminal President. Get some balls (implanted if necessary). Stand up to our asshole-in-chief now, before, in Jim Webbs words, we have to show you the way.
