THE Bumpersticker for midterm'06

House Majority Leader John Boehner was on TV with George Stephanapoulos today. On Iraq, he declared that, despite the obvious implosion in Iraq, "we have no choice but to win there," and that one good sign for the US was that the Iraq Prime Minister had agreed to speed up the training of Iraqi security forces. Plus, President Bush is following the advice of his commanders on the ground, so barring some tactical changes, we need to stay the course, etc. etc., ad nauseum.

Then he opined that Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was "the best thing to happen to the Pentagon in 25 years."

Earlier, US Senate Candidate Michael Steele from Maryland said that the war in Iraq was absolutely worth it in order to "establish a beachhead of democracy in iraq(!?)."

All of which only underscores my fervent conviction that THE bumpersticker for midterm '06 should be: "Want to stay in Iraq forever? Vote Republican!"

I'd settle for a beachhead of sanity and reality from our political leaders.

you would think that these folks would at least try to say something to get re-elected. they are so far removed from the american people- their constiuents(someone might want to remind them)and are so arrogant about knowing what's best for us- that they just keep spewing the same nonsense. i think that they genuinely believe that we don't know what's going on.
