Your right Joe, these democrats are such hypocrites! Publically they talk about 'our soldiers' but in secret they not only hope that more of them are killed but they hope democracy in Iraq fails! Why? All, because they hate Bush. They just cant get over it!

Where were these sniveling demo-rats when Clinton bombed Belgrade? Where were they went he went to Haiti, where were they we he went Mogadishu, where were they when he bombed the Chinese embassy, where were they when he bombed an aspirin factory? Well...I don't know where they were but I know where Clinton was...he was busy getting oral sex in the oval office while our Marines were getting dragged through the streets of Mogadishu!

Nothing stirs my blood like the noxious stench of some snobby New York demo-rat elitist. You demo-rats have no plan, no vision, no new ideas to help our country or the world. Your party is pathetic and is destined for history's garbage heap.
