Man, I’m getting frigging sick and tired of the whinners, from the willy-nillys at National Review to this dolt called “The Commissar”, who’ “voting democrat” because he thinks Iraq is a lost cause and well, Bush isn’t really a conservative anyway.

“Iraq is totally hopeless. Today, now, it is beyond any rational expectation of recovery. I cannot foresee anything like victory, not by any remote definition, such as ‚Äúgetting Iraq to slightly stable, barely functioning, almost worthwhile kind of place.‚Äù I cannot see how to get there. I can see us staying there for a long, long time. 150,000 US troops, well-armed and well-supplied, in secure bases, are not easy to dislodge and are not even easy to hit with high casualties. Our guys are very smart and very tough. The insurgency cannot ‚Äúdrive us out‚Äù or even inflict ‚Äúunacceptable‚Äù casualties. What this means, combined with what I can see from internet debates is that ‚Ķ as long as we meet some threshhold, as long the troops can hang on, then the ‚Äútrue believers‚Äù will say ‚ÄúThere is hope. We are winning. Look at the ELECTIONS!‚Äù If we‚Äôre waiting for a defeat in battle, some military rout of the Americans, that is not going to happen. Do we then stay indefinitely, spectators to chaos? No Democratic politician will say it, but maybe they would be the party of ‚Äúcut and run.‚Äù

Sounds pretty “Murtha”. But this is what we have found ever since the 2004 election that many of the so-called “Party Faithful” are about as faithful as Bill Clinton. A little pressure and they say, “Screw it, I’m voting for Pelosi!”

Fine, go fer it, vote Democrat, to “teach Bush a lesson”, or even as some have suggested, “Stay Home”, but in the end you betray yourself as what you are - chicken shit.

“Army Lawyer” has some words as well to Mr. “Screw it, I’m taking my ball and go home!”:

“Sorry Chuckles, but yes, if keeping between 100-150K troops in Iraq for the next 25 years is what it takes to prevent Islamism from gaining yet another state sponsor in the region, then we stay. That‚Äôs what we do. That‚Äôs what we do in every friggin‚Äô country we‚Äôve ever gone into that didn‚Äôt immediately fall prey to its neighbor as soon as we left.

Apologies if you don‚Äôt have the patience for it. Apologies if you can‚Äôt get beyond your own blinkered sense of betrayal at how unconservative you think Bush is, but nobody cares. Least of all those tasked with the heavy lifting. But good cripes is this over-emotional garbage annoying.”

Hurrah! Well said!

UPDATE: More knee jerking from the Washington Times via Drudge:

“WASHINGTON TIMES ON TUESDAY WILL CALL FOR SPEAKER HASTERT’S RESIGNATION, NEWSROOM SOURCES TELL DRUDGE… DEVELOPING… Editorial titled: ‘Resign, Mr. Speaker’: ‘House Speaker Dennis Hastert must do the only right thing, and resign his speakership at once… Mr. Hastert has forfeited the confidence of the public and his party, and he cannot preside over the necessary coming investigation, an investigation that must examine his own inept performance’… — Washington Times, October 3, 2006…”

Hell, screw the midterms, let’s just crown Pelosi now!

Morons….

UPDATE II: More whinning, here too. Cripes, where’s the Midol!

UPDATE III: Professor Levin hands out the Midol.

“Oh yes, I hear we conservatives are better than the liberals, and that we must hold ourselves to a higher standard. But throwing Republican leaders overboard to prove the point without sufficient information is no standard at all. It may make pundits more comfortable and may attract praise from unlikely circles, but it doesn’t make us better than liberals. In fact, it doesn’t make us better people, period. What we need is information. Most of us only learned about the Foley communications last Friday. Demanding Hastert‚Äôs head tonight, as I said in an earlier post, is irresponsible. Among other things, we need to know who was aware of these three-year-old instant messages, only to make them public at a time of enormous help to the House Democrats. Clearly Foley wasn‚Äôt the only one exploiting these teenagers.

I‚Äôve been around Washington too long to know that scandals of this sort don‚Äôt just happen. Just ask Karl Rove and Lewis Libby. Three years later, most of us are appalled at the Fitzgerald investigation. But when Libby was indicted, many dismissed questions about the investigation as irrelevant to the charges.”

Quite frankly for some of the conservatives crapping in their pants this isn’t about Foley, it’s about Harriet Miers, Dubai, and Fences.

Get the hell over it already!

The Bible says that he who makes a judgement without knowing all the facts is a fool, and we are seeing a lot of fools come out, especially on the Right. Thank God not all have the backbone of a rubberband.

I’m glad I’m not alone and that Mark is keeping it real.

I agree with him on the point. Remember, vitue can be a vice in war, and ladies and gents we are at war.

UPDATE IV: Oh this is fresh. The Washinton Times demand for Hassert to step down is up, and they want Henry Hyde to take his place.

Sigh….
