Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan >>any vote against any part of the war on terror sends a message that the populace is caving<< I strongly disagree. We don't give our leaders blank checks in this country to do whatever they like in the name of 'security.' Most people would hate that idea -- especially in times when their own party isn't in charge.
Originally Posted By Shooba >>any vote against any part of the war on terror sends a message that the populace is caving<< Wasn't this about the Iraq war, and not the war on terror anyway? It just boggles my mind how many people are a part of the extreme right, and feel that any dissent is "caving to terrorism".

Originally Posted By Beaumandy Gadzuux, we have laid out the facts for you on here so many times it is apparent you will simply never understand reality. Iraq is a part of the war on terror. It is not that tough to understand. Saddam had lots of connections to Al Quaida and other terror groups. He had WMD's. Thbe wiretapping that you and your Frisco buddies oppose for some paranoid reason have been bustong up terror plots all over the world. So we know that if Pelosi or some other person who thinks like you actually had power, there is a chance the very programs that stop the bad guys would be eliminated. This is why it is so important to defeat liberals at the polls, they could get us killed out of sheer igorance. Cheney was right.
Originally Posted By ecdc "any vote against any part of the war on terror sends a message that the populace is caving" I also couldn't disagree more. Voting for Ned Lamont isn't voting against the war on terror. It's a vote for "Iraq is not working, our boys are dying, let's bring them home." The idea that Democrats or liberals don't support the war on terror is absurd. And gaduzuux is right - Bush and Co. have been so successful conflating Iraq and the war on terror, that they're able to say anyone who doesn't support Iraq wears a bin Laden for President button. How many times can it be noted that Iraq was not a threat? It never was. We've wasted American lives and American dollars that would not have been wasted in Afghanistan.

Originally Posted By ecdc "Isn't Lamont insulting the American voter by telling them that the Congress they voted for were big idiots for authorizing force against Iraq?" No. Americans didn't elect congress based on war in Iraq. They did elect Ned Lamont based on his desire to get out of Iraq. It's been covered prominently and has become an important race for both parties to watch as a forerunner to this November. No wonder why Cheney's spinning hard. But this time Americans aren't swallowing his fearmongering tripe.

Originally Posted By vbdad55 < It's a vote for "Iraq is not working, our boys are dying, let's bring them home< it's a vote for " don;t worry we'll protect you , stick with us -- unless of course we run into any trouble- then you're on your own mate "
Originally Posted By vbdad55 <They think the iraq was IS the "war on terror". < and somehow you cannot see that it is a part of the war on terror -- do you think those are only Iraqi's in Iraq doing the fighting ? Just like it's only Lebonese in Lebanon...geez

Dem's don't evenmake up the largest % of the voting block in Conn.. so you may want to hold that victory party and not start it too soon, my like mr Kerry and his merry band of goofs on election night.
