Moderate Republicans to Bush: Push for Victory
(2007-05-10) — A group of moderate Republican House members, led by Rep. Charlie Dent, R-PA, met privately with President George Bush in the White House yesterday to urge him to “press on to victory, no matter the cost.”
According to Rep. Dent, the lawmakers encouraged the president to “put aside concerns about his own plunging personal popularity and do the right thing by getting out of Iraq so that we can get re-elected in our home districts.”
The 11 progressive Republicans, in a remarkably blunt conversation, told the president that “some things are worth fighting for, and that history will judge whether Mr. Bush stood up for the innocent and defenseless whose very Congressional seats hang in the balance.”
“It takes courage to walk away from a quagmire in order to protect the letter ‘R’ that appears next each of our names,” said Rep. Dent. “But great men must set aside their personal desires to serve the greater good.”
Sorry Scott, but it’s hard to find the humor here. May God have mercy on our souls if we sell out to defeatism and allow the terrorists in their Mickey Mouse outfits to rule the world. May God bring peace to Iraq quickly and may he vindicate the liberation of the Iraqi people.

Scott has been busy.
Good morning all and welcome to the new home front where the real war on terror is being fought. Even though by all military standards it is being won over there the left insists it is not and there for cause us to fight them over here.
This war is more than guns and bombs but rather a national resolve not to back down in the face of terrorists. It owuld seem the Democrats and now some RINO Republicans have already surrendered out of political cowardice.

I saw an interesting take on Fred Thompson last night. The commentator said that in all of his speeches and interviews, Thompson pits the Republican candidate against Congress. Don’t know if he will be that candidate, but he is setting up the scenario that whoever that candidate with be has to show that he is running against Congress, not President Bush. Polls show that Congress has an even lower rating then Bush and so people are fed up with these political blowhards. It’s gonna get interesting.

Democrats want funding until July. Then, after the 4th they can get a discount on bottle rockets, cherry bombs, M-80’s and Roman candles, of which, as they see things, is the firepower needed to fight the war.
Stupid idiots.

Now we are being urged to declare defeat and leave Iraq.

In the good old days before hippies, war protestors, Jane Fonda, and John Kerry, people took it for granted that it was grim but necessary to defend their country and honor our commitments to our allies. It was just plain common sense that when attacked you fought back. When threatened you placed yourself in a defensive posture that would minimize the damage when and if the attack actually came.
After the left infiltrated and neutered the MSM and made surrender fashionable things are different. At Gettysburg the combined loss of life was over 53,000 men in three days of fighting. We lost almost as many troops on June 6th 1944 during the D-Day invasion at Normandy as we did at Pearl Harbor. As most people know, Germany did not bomb us at Pearl Harbor.
We have been fighting this war since September of 2001 and lost around 3,500 troops. Contrary to the MSN assertion we are fighting one war, the war on terrorism, and more correctly it is being fought on two major fronts, Afghanistan and Iraq. I value human life as precious. We are burying two soldiers from Iowa this week alone. But considering the facts, compared with historical record, we are indeed winning. The only difference here is the way the battle is perceived and reported.
In war people die. Good people are killed, wounded, maimed, and scarred. Frankly people get killed in training every year because the work is dangerous. The left would have us all believe that because we take losses we are losing. That means they are either stupid or liars if not both. The real battle in the war on terror is with American resolve to win. On the ground they are already winning and would have been done a long time ago if they didn’t have to contend with the lefties in the media cheering on and supporting the enemy.

Moderate Republicans: Thank you for having us, Mr. President.
Bush: You’re welcome, strangers. What can I do for you?
MR: We need political cover.
Bush: How’s that?
MR: We really don’t want failure in Iraq by way of a premature withdrawal, however we come from districts where the average voter is a sheer lunatic whose passions are governed by the likes of KOS and democraticunderground.com. We’re afraid of offending them and losing their votes in the next election if we don’t appear to be kowtowing to them on this singular issue.
Bush: I understand. But what can I do, pardners?
MR: Stay the course, even though it appears we’re trashing you we’ll continue supporting you by not overriding your vetos but we don’t want you offended as we posture for our nutroots constituents.
Bush: I’m a big boy. I understand. Thank you for coming here and explaining yourselves plainly to a country boy like me. I have a certain appreciation for Republicans who are always trying to cover their backsides instead of standing up for conservative principles during difficult times.
Moderate Republicans leave and then go before the press: “We spoke plainly to President Bush about the need to find some resolution on the war. He listened soberly and agreed with some of our points about the war in Iraq. He expressed his appreciation for our views. We made progress today.”
This is probably what happened and this is why fair-weather patriots like RINOS have always disgusted me. When the going gets tough, the RINOs get going.

It’s not impossible that President Bush may actually be setting them up and my former speculation (repeated here) isn’t a fanntasy after all! It would certainly jerk the rug out from under the feet of Liberals and RINOS alike.
Speculation: One way to possibly guarantee a Conservative Republican victory in 2008 would be for President Bush to follow the lead of his friend, Tony Blair and resign. Vice President Richard B Cheney, about three hours after being officially sworn in as the new President, could opt to also resign. Thereby elevating Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi into office as the new President.
The Media would go nuts! Mrs. Bill Clinton would have a total breakdown. President Pelosi, caught totally off guard would be walking around, sucking her thumb, muttering, “Duh, er, I mean, er, What do I do now?” her aides would be staggering around, pulling their thumb out of their mouth, mumbling, “Gee, uh, I dunno, what do we do next?” She would then be tasked with the responsibility of issuing the “cut and run” directive, that the liberals have so forcefully demanded. Cooler heads would point out to her that “cut and run” was not an option.
During the following months remaining in her “Presidency, there would be little she could do, other than display to all America just who and what the liberals really are. - that alone should be more than enough to ensure a Conservative victory in ‘08. Quite possibly bring about the imploding and total meltdown of the Democrat Party. It could take another 50 - 60 years for them to recover.
A fantasy? Of course! But it’s my fantasy and I would love to live long enough to witness its becoming reality. Bush isn’t up for re-election and would have nothing to lose.
btw - I know there are a number of Scrapplers who have good intentions but…..good intentions don’t get the cows milked.

I have a bet going with a friend here. It involves the response of the neighborhood troll or trolls to a logic and fact based posting. So far the only one to rise to the bait was “edited.”
Here is the bet. One of us thought that the troll would address prior statements on fact. The other said that the troll would find no basis in that and would first disregard the fact entirely and would instead attack the writer. So far that would appear to be the case.
In that this is the only time I am likely to read troll writing I suggest troll make it a good one. Remember, money is at stake and this is for scientific research, so please, be yourself and hold nothing back.

I ask because I can’t deal with the rhino’s anymore and this may be a way to get statesmen back into government instead of career politicians. By the way did anyone else hear that the comments of the Kansas governor were engineered by the DNC?

How sad that people don’t know history. I don’t think the Dems would be smirking so much if they remembered back to one of their own - Harry Truman - who suffered the bleating and mewling of congressional members of his party. He almost didn’t get nominated for his second term and literally hated those in his party who were political sell-outs. Solomon had it right ~ there is nothing new under the sun.
Comment by conserve-a-tips — May 10, 2007 @ 3:07 pm
Harry Truman didn’t ask the people to do what he wouldn’t do, Harry was a combat veteran, not a member of the Texas Air National Guard, Champaign Squadron.
Harry, or his friends didn’t profit from warfare, like Halliburton. When he left office he was a man of very modest means.
Harry had what many called common sense. He was a Democrat, not a Republican. Harry was strong and smart, not stubborn and stupid.

Sadly the only way to get that or anything on the ballet is to convince the very elected people who benefit from it to introduce legislation. The other way is to go liberal and file a law suit and hope that appointed judges will legislate it into law from the bench.
As we saw with Roe vs Wade, they can define the constitution any way they want to.
In regards to L@Y’s comments, making up facts fits the category I described earlier in the area of ignoring. Besides, you are unpatriotic in that your opposition to the war on terrorism supports and gives aid and comfort to people who would joyfully decapitate you.
This makes you not only unpatriotic, but brings to question your intelligence. I personally could care less about poll numbers. As with almost all Democrat positions they are not driven by reality. Reality can be defined by the image of falling sky scrapers and helpless people being bound and decapitated on internet video. Or defined by people who plant road side bombs or better yet people who blow up school children. Those are our enemies who your actions give support to. That is reality.

Harry Truman would be booed out of the Dhimmiecratic Party today and roundly condemned as a mass murdering warmonger for dropping the atom bombs in Nagasaki and Hiroshima and later getting militarily involved in South Korea.
Ol’ Harry wouldn’t recognize the Dhimmiecrat Party today since it has become a pit of quasi-Marxist vipers vested in the defeat of this country when fighting an enemy abroad. If Harry Truman were alive today and ran on the exact same party platform he did in in 1948, he’d have to do it in the Republican Party and I’d vote for him in a heartbeat just on his stand on issues regarding communism and defending this country against all enemies.
Harry was precisely the kind of Democrat that my family embraced all the way up to John Kennedy. The Democratic Party has become a sad caricature of its former self which is why I stopped being a Democrat when left-wing lunatics in the early 1970s began moving the party toward “democratic socialism”. I’m now an independent voter. The biggest regret I have in the intervening years is voting for the incompetent boob Jimmah Carter. C’mon, the embarassment of the Iranian hostage impotence, double-digit inflation, double-digit mortage rates, double-digit loan rates and nearly 8% unemployment … and Carter’s still a Dhimmiecrat icon!

“Besides, you are unpatriotic in that your opposition to the war on terrorism supports and gives aid and comfort to people who would joyfully decapitate you.” The one who was behind the falling sky scrapers was Osama bin Laden not Saddam Hussein. I remember well, it is you, and your leader who have forgotten.
“I don’t know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don’t care. It’s not that important. It’s not our priority.” - G.W. Bush, 3/13/02
You here, have repeatedly said: “The world is a better place without Saddam Hussein”. That depends on whom, or what replaces his dictatorship;
“The enemy you know is better than the one you do not know.” Kenyian Proverb
“Besides, you are unpatriotic in that your opposition to the war on terrorism supports and gives aid and comfort to people who would joyfully decapitate you.”
I don’t think you even know what patriotism is! I truly believe you have betrayed the duties of citizenship, by giving unqualified endorsement of your rights, and mine, to the grossly unqualified, and morally unfit!

Would y’all begrudge me a laugh at L@Y?
First, Truman’s predecessor, FDR, in 1913 was made Assistant Secretary of the Navy without ever having been in any branch of the military. It was a reward for supporting Wilson and he did such a bang-up job that he was nominated for vice president in 1920. He caught Polio in 1921 and was debilitated and so was not able to serve. However, Mr. Laughing-at-the-wrong-people, FDR went on to become nearly a three term president who presided over the most costly war in our history.
Enter, Harry Truman. with comments like this: “Held Cabinet Meeting - explained to Cabinet members that in my opinion the Cabinet members were simply a Board of Directors appointed by the President, to help him carry out policies of the Government; in many instances the Cabinet could be of trememdous help to the President by offering advice wheterh he liked it or not but when President [gave] an order they should carry it out.” 5/16/1945 or “Discussed proposed message to Congress on asking for the restoration of Presidential powers to consolidate and eliminate Bureaus..” or this about a fellow Democrat: “The meanest partisan Republican has been no more anti-Truman than has Slaughter.” And to James Pendergast, of the moguls with whom anti-Trumanites accused Truman of having an illicit financial relationship: “Of course I don’t intend to rehash history with which you and everyone in the United States is familiar. Nor did I suppose that it would ever be necessary for me to ask a Pendergast to make a choice between an upstart little Rabbit and the President of the United States. It seems that that is what confronts me - much to my regret. Slaughter is obnoxious to me and you must make your choice.”
If George Bush had said one of these statements, L@Y would have bust a gut and started screaming, “Nazi! Nazi.”

It didn’t matter with John Fn Kerry, and it surely doesn’t matter with you either. Henry, and this group understand the military better than you, or even me.
So far as this being MY country; you folks fixed two elections to put, and keep the “War President” in office. And just look what he has done to MY America!

Darth-
Thanks a lot. Of course, like RINOs, I feel very strongly both ways that surrender = victory.
Life’s too short to waste precious time considering the malignant Liger or his Sybilline alter ego, Gasbag. They’ve proved they have nothing to say and can’t be taken seriously. Enda story. If they’re typical of the, um, opposition, we’re cruisin’.
