Obama Faces Pushback From His Own Party on More Troops for Afghanistan

Well I gotta admit,the demos are fianlly seeing the light in this fiasco of Obooboo's.They are right by not going along with it as it is nothing more than a major waste of time,money and lives.It cannot be won using the tactics that they are using

No more troops to Afganistan from the USA.

Bring them home within 18 months.

Nobody can control that big a territory. Way too many fundamentalists with a lot of (what used to be our) money.

Better protect our own economy and soil.

YOU LIE!!

And I won't let it go unchallenged. First of all, People will vote with their wallets. You are predicting something will happen, what has not, and will not even take affect for 3-4 years, IF passed. Your private insurance company will only insure you as long as they're making money. Remember that.

Hey......has Bush found his missing WMD's yet?

Oh surely Nancy can get her boys to do whatever she wants, she pushed through that stupid Health care bill didn't she? I can't stand the woman. She is a freaking idiot that will ruin our country. Obama has made a considered decision as Commander and Chief and he is my president, I will stand behind him, my country and the men and women fighting for all of us. I am sick of the politicizing of every damn thing. Obama is in the seat and I trust him as our leader in this matter. I am not going to be a part of a hate campaign against a sitting president in time of war the way people were with Bush. That was treasonous and I will never do that to any president. It is time to be united toward the rest of the world. Period.

Why can't we finally admit the truth? Both Republcians and now Democrats have failed this country miserably. If this war is critically important then let's start paying for it-immediately. Raise taxes-state your case and be prepared for the consequences. Also, if one American life is worth fighting in Afghanistan or Iraq immediately reinstate the draft-state your case and be prepared for the consequences. Our government no longer trusts its citizens to make the right choices. Instead our politicians do everything possible to avoid sacrifice and unfortunatly reality.

Obama "leaked" his decision to send 35,000 or so troops to Afghanistan in plenty of time to see just how much "pushback" there would be.
Obama defeated Hillary by pandering to the anti-war war crowd. With 10.2% unemployment, gold at $1,200 dollars per once, oil rising, the dollar sinking Obama can't afford to stray to far and abandon his pinhead political base.
The "leak" was a trial ballon to see just what this will cost him in political support among his far left anti-war political base Obama pandered to to defeat Hillary AND what the polls say to see if Obama has a net gain or loss in political support.

Meanwhile are troops are dodging bullets in Afghanistan.

Everyone dislikes and never again trusts a LIAR. During the Presidential campaign Obama told us he would get our boys out of Iraq and Afghanistan quickly. Now instead he sends in more and more. NO one likes to be lied to. No one who feels he was lied to will ever vote for this liar again.
He lied when he said he would change NAFTA.
He lied when he said he would not tax the poor and then raised cigarette taxes on the poor jerks who smoke by 70 cents per pack which costs the poor who smoke between $300 and $600 per year out of their pockets, yet we did not see was Obama tax the rich with a tax on Country Club dues or Golf Course fees or expensive restaurant meals that cost over $100 per person. No new Obama taxes on the rich, only on the poor with the cigarette tax. Now he wants to tax soda by 20 cents per can, which is another item consumed mostly by the poor.
He lied when he said he would pull out of Iraq fast and instead stuck with the Bush operating plan. He lied when he said he would eliminate the Bush tax cuts for the Already wealthy. He lied about everything to get your and my vote and we all have every right in the world to never vote again for people who we know are total and complete LIARS.

Everyone who wants our soldiers home where they are safe___Email the White House today and tell Obama Bring our Boys home now___Too many have died for Bush's lies already.

Christian Conservative - I couldn't have said it better myself. This hate-mongering doesn't appear to be Christian at all; it is radicalized hatred, much like the what the ideals of radical Islam espouse. These are not the Christian principles set forth by Jesus Christ. He would be ashamed.
