Here's the number, Pelosi and Reid: 746.

[AndyA]

That's right: 746 American soldiers have died since you took over Congress.

You have failed every single one of them, their families, their friends, and you have done a grave disservice to every American by allowing this sham of a war to continue.

Have you done absolutely EVERYTHING within your power to stop the war?

EVERYTHING?

No, you have not.

Both of you preside over a Congress with even lower approval ratings than the "do nothing" 109th Congress. A paltry 11% approve of the job you are doing - that means that barely one person in ten approves of your actions.

What are you going to do about it? You know what America wants:

1. The war in Iraq ends. Now.

2. The troops come home as quickly and as safely as possible for them and for innocent Iraqi citizens.

3. Investigate the lies of the Bush Administration, which includes putting impeachment on the table.

And for God's sake, quit being a patsy to the GOP. The two of you would make great door mats outside the White House.

Do your jobs - and here's a hint: at 11% approval, you aren't heading in the right direction. Change course now or we will change it for you come 2008.

5. they have a one word mandate-

NO!!

whatever it is, just say no.

[JimboDem]

8. Keep at them

Are these spineless wonders all being blackmailed or threatened? They act like battered spouses when it comes to standing up for the voters, their mandate, and the Constitution.

I think Stark and Dodd have lit a fuse. Pelosi, Reid, Hoyer, Emanuel, et al best consider their current 11 percent approval ratings.

7. Ow, ow, OW! That's very graphic, and they should be forced to hear those numbers!!!

9. In June 2006, 2500 deaths in Iraq ...

from a June 2006 radio address ...

~snip~

The American people are insisting on a New Direction at home and in the war in Iraq.

This week, our nation reached the sad milestone of 2,500 deaths in Iraq. Our prayers are with their families and with our brave men and women in uniform.

The financial cost of the war continues to skyrocket toward half a trillion dollars. For the last three years, the President has continued to ask us to 'stay the course.' Stay the course, despite the continued cost in lives, to our military readiness, and to our reputation in the world.

Americans know and Democrats agree: we must change the course. 2006 must be a year of significant transition. It is time for a new direction in Iraq. At the earliest practicable time, the United States must begin the responsible redeployment of its troops, and the Iraqis must assume the burden of defending their own country. - Nancy Pelosi

oh, cool, a logo just like corporations have to go with their superficial 'brands', visions and values, and media-created pseudo-leadership




"...we must change the course. 2006 must be a year of significant transition. It is time for a new direction in Iraq..."

10. That quote that 2006 must be a year of transition was so hopeful

sounding...
