Senator Kerry:
Please stop defending the indefensible. We all know that Democrats have the power to cut off funds. We know that they're not willing to cut off those funds (even though it's the right thing to do) because they don't want to be blamed for losing the war. You're afraid of being called traitors. You're proving yourselves cowards.
Giving Bush what he wants at this point, after he's repeatedly proved his contempt for the separation of powers, the rule of law and the will of the American people, is a betrayal to ALL AMERICANS and an act of moral cowardice. You are exploiting Bush's delusions for the sake of political expediency. Shame on you.
We all know that Iraq is a failed state. The entire professional class and middle class have fled...
There IS NO GOVERNMENT because all of the infrastructure was looted (down to the copper wires in the walls) in 2003. We know how utterly incompetent our occupation has been. We know that the CPA was stocked with Bush cronies and Republican staffers with no expertise. We know that there was NO LEADERSHIP in Iraq, and that the US Military fought with the CPA constantly. We even know about the Oil Law, about how American Corporations are going to get a criminally large share of Iraq's oil profits. We know that NO PROMINENT DEMOCRATS ARE TALKING ABOUT IT.
WE KNOW THIS IS A HOPELESS WAR. WE KNOW THAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE PROTECTING THE AMERICAN EMPIRE. WE KNOW ALL OF THIS, AND STILL WE SUPPORT YOU.
Despite your clear political opportunism, we're still going to fight by your sides. We're going to vote for you, and give you money, and volunteer for you.
AFTER THE PRIMARY CHALLENGE.
The days of the passive, sell-out Democratic party are coming to an end.
Your presidential campaign, in fact, symbolized the political pinnacle of you go-along-to-get-along Imperial Democrats. You ruling class whores, obsessed with what the media thinks.
Your days are done.
So please, stop posting on Daily Kos. We know that you don't give a damn about our beliefs, about truth, or about morality. If you did, you would be crusading to DEFUND THE WAR.
Also, please stop parroting right wing frames like 'support the troops'. That's one of the reasons you lost in 2004. Another reason is that YOU REALLY CARED ABOUT WHAT JOE KLEIN THOUGHT ABOUT YOU.
Your loss in 2004 was historical in nature. It put the responsibility for the Iraq War and Abu Ghraib on AMERICAN DEMOCRACY. The only reason you lost was because you were SUCH A COWARD.
There was a time when I supported you. But really, you're so bad on camera I just wish you would stop talking. Maybe if you had ANY PRINCIPLES, you'd be relevant.
