The rhetoric coming from the Democrats in Washington is totally disgusting. They are bordering on treason. Most voted to allow the war and are now trying to win votes from the anti-war crowd by trying to back out of their former stances. They would get more votes if they stood by their country in a time of war.

Vietnam was lost because of these same people. The administration backed down in the face of a loud minority. When we pulled out of Vietnam, thousands of people in Vietnam and Cambodia were murdered by the Viet Cong. I wonder if the anti-war groups feel any responsibility for those deaths? That is what will happen in Iraq if we pull out without finishing the job.

Democrats run away when the going gets tough. They did in Somalia, they did in Vietnam, and if they have their way, we will lose the war in Iraq.

If the Democrats in Washington are speaking for all the registered and voting Democrats in this country, they are only speaking for 25 percent of the people. Half the people in this country don’t vote, and the rest are equally divided between Republican and Democrat.

I am totally ashamed that our own citizens are aiding and abetting terrorists in a blatant show of their true feelings for this country. The Democrats and their right arm, the ACLU, are worse than the terrorists. They are destroying our country from within.
