Leave It To Our Leaders To Snatch Defeat From The Jaws Of Victory
Edited on Tue May-03-11 05:41 PM by KingOfLostSouls
just saw that the senate resolution on praising for the taking out of osama bin laden will credit both obama AND bush.


NO

NO

NO

NO

NO


Bush deserves NO praise in this. NONE. ZERO. ZILCH. NADA.


once again, our supposed "leaders" find a way to fucking destroy any shred of political credibility we have had, any sense of superiority on this. BUSH was the one who let bin laden escape at tora bora. BUSH was the one who ignored "Bin Laden Determined to Strike IN US." BUSH was the one who decided to invade Iraq and not focus on Al qaeda. and BUSH was the one who said he was not that concerned about bin laden



I'm sorry, I cannot bring myself to support any federal candidates anymore. this is beyond ridiculous and beyond the pale. if Obama hadn't decided to refocus on al qaeda, osama would still be sitting in his mansion living high on the hog. if my senators in WA state vote on this, I will not vote for them. the President still has my vote, but there should be no thanking bush going into the history books.


enough's enough. while these people have been running around calling the president a muslim or a kenyan or a terrorist or any list of racial slurs, we're expected to share praise with them? seriously, GET A FUCKING CLUE. our "leaders" need a goddamn wake up call, all I've seen since the news was announced was conservatives attacking president obama and praising bush, as they continued to call him names even as the mission was being carried out. I'm sick of defending people who won't even defend themselves, our party, or our president.


WAKE UP, HARRY REID AND SENATE DEMOCRATS, YOU ARE THE MAJORITY. STOP KISSING THE BOOTHEELS OF PEOPLE WHO HATE YOU.

1. Good news is, no one gives a rat's ass about meaningless Senate resolutions.
This shouldn't be a bipartisan thing, because it isn't. Republicans can suck it--they own failure. But this resolution won't matter.

3. The LAST thing BushCo wanted was to capture OBL.



At least not until they got the last of Saddam's oil. OBL was their license to steal and plunder.
Once he was gone they would no longer have a free ticket.

9. Pull Obama's name out of the resolution.
Let the Senate give all the praise to Bush.

Some things are just too easy.

10. I was going to rec
but then read the thread and your remark down thread. Ruined a good post. For what it's worth I do agree. This unholy quest for bipartisanship must stop. Obama and the elected "democrats" are rehabilitating these fucking people and that's just wrong.

12. we cannot be bipartisan with evil
its about having a backbone.


our leaders need to remember who puts them there. I don't vote for them to praise bush. I vote for them to bury him in the trashbin of history.

13. What a pathetic bunch of cowards...
and by that I mean every single fucking Senate Democrat that votes for this.

Not only shouldn't they be voting for this they should be playing and posting and e-mailing and tweeting the Bush video saying he doesn't care and isn't concerned about OBL.

And yes, goddamnit I'm all for politicizing this. You know that is exactly what the Republicans would do if it were reversed and it's goddamn well what they are doing by claiming this is Bush's win.

Fuck them and good riddance to any Democrat who agreed to this and/or votes for it.
