Did I give the impression that I want to withdraw from Afghanistan? I’d druther our troops stayed there and fought the war there. Oh, hell, yeah.

I just don’t appreciate the fact that these three assholes are using the war to make a statement about what they think is important.

Hey, look at it this way, Pam, if we don’t maintain a presence in Afghanistan, it sends a signal to every terrorist group in the world that we’re weak and ripe for the taking. So, they come over here and do what they did on Sept. 11 (again and again and again and again) and at that point, we won’t have to worry about how our tax dollars are being spent because we’ll be dead or living in a brand new hell with brand new leadership.

I’m pretty sure that those three sumbitches can only smile if a conservative’s kid gets run over by a bus.

I see where you’re going with that… and I don’t think people would take a stand against taxes if it’s ‘helping the troops’. Problem is, what would the money really be used for??

This administration is a disorganized bunch of immature, self centered turds. Think every silly college movie you’ve ever seen, then make the head moron POTUS.

They’re also eaten up with left hand/right hand disease. BAD. If the dirty three are testing the waters with their little faux bill I do wonder what will happen on the floor…

Here’s my thinking…

What if the Obamessiah really, really wants to abandon the Afghans, like right now?…

What if he convinces his Dumbcrap henchmen that the only way this is going to be palatable to us bitter folk clinging to our Bibles and our guns is to tell us we have to pay for it from our own pockets because “their” money is all tied up with creating an socialist state and fake jobs?…

Be interesting how he spins the “no new taxes for anyone making less than $250K” though…

For once, I don’t have a problem at all with the tax they propose. I think they (Democrats and all the varied flavors of Marxist, Socialist and otherwise liberal Left) SHOULD pay a price for our security and fighting the war. Provided, of course, that it is fairly collected only from those who have not already paid their generous share. No double-tapping of military and their families, who have already VOLUNTARILY fronted the greatest sacrifices made to date. I’m sure someone can explain to them the concept of “sweat equity.”

I guess this means that belts are going to have to get very tight in Berkeley.
