17. I like that one too
It can have at least two different meanings, depending on who the target is and how they "hear" it.

Stay and pay with lives or stay and pay with money. It plays both sides of the street.

3. HERE - USE THIS SIMPLE FACT
MAJORITY of AMERICANS agree with 13 Dem Senators on Iraq withdrawal


So do the Iraqi people (87%) and the US Soldiers polled in Iraq 73%


That should be the ONLY TALKING POINT that we use about this vote.


And THAT should be the campaign issue. The senate needs lawmakers who reflect the concerns of the American and Iraqi PEOPLE for a change, instead of those Republican Rubberstampers doing the bidding of a delusional dictatortot.

The media won't say it - we MUST not forget to say it. The MAJORITY of American people agree with Democrats.

5. leave and learn vs. continual grieve and mourn
It takes a BIG 'humble' country to admit it makes mistakes.
We may be big, but we also seem to be small minded.

7. Kerry's "Lie and Die" works, and adding Murtha's would be powerful, too
"As this administration lies, and our troops die, Bush says to troops: stay and pray. Bush is fine with his 'lie and die' strategy, as long as it's the troops who have to stay and pay."

8. AND the American TAXPAYERS as well!!
Potholes on your highway? Can't afford to fix 'em, that money is going to fix roads in Iraq!

School roof leaking? No federal aid to schools; that money's going to build schools that will be rocketed by insurgents in IRAQ!!!

Lousy water quality? No federal grants to help your local water treatment plant, that's going to rebuild plants in IRAQ....

The shit writes itself....

9. Run-and-Hide Republicans
Edited on Thu Jun-22-06 12:31 PM by Tactical Progressive
- from symbolman - sounds like the best to me.

Run-and-hide Republicans don't get to call others out about cut-and-run in wartime, after their own actions consisted of nothing more courageous than avoiding service with deferrment after deferrment after deferrment after deferrment.

Now all of the sudden they're the experts on staying and fighting.

11. We can't run, & we can't hide, & killing more people won't bring
back the ones who've died.

Nor does it 'honor' anything. Except death, destruction and violence.
There are no winners in war. War is a lose, lose proposition.
