That would be terrific!

I wish Congress would get a copy of your contract. How can we live in an America that would turn it's back on our troops once again?

You can't expect those on the Democrat side to ever agree with this.

All you hear is "we support the troops, but" we really hope they don't win.

Then those Republicans [who should remember that they might have to face a primary] who want to line up with the defeatist liberal Democrats.

Ha! A resolution for victory...guess you're right, supporting the troops, and a resolution to win the war on terror...too radical for the Left, who are the cut and run yellow party.

Answer: absolutely not! And that's why we should do it!...:)

One Brave Muslim Cleric Dares to Tell the Truth That The American Liberation of Iraq is a Blessing to Islam, on Arabic TV!

Go take a look at this http://patdollard.com/2007/02/11/muslims-say-god-bless-america/

I posted this on my blog and watch the commentator how she tries to get this going to anti-America..

If you look at it and like it please pass it on.

To answer your question this is the kind of news the MSM will not touch, [with the ten foot pole]

I did send this to a number of people [comments on their blogs] hope it does some good.

Just pass it along to as many as you can.

BTW, Jevica

I called my representative's office about my "Contract" idea, and the person that answered the phone liked it, and said he would pass it on to Congressman John Cambel. I'm thinking I will call John Boehner's office as well...

I'm thinking, a regular report from Republicans on the successes happening in Iraq, as well as reports like the one in your video link would be a smart idea as well, to counter all the bashing by the Left...

That would be awesome, but

I don't see it happening. It seems like a sizeable chunk of the R party are "yellow" as well. Not in terms of the war, necessarily, but politically.

Nevertheless, Pep's right. We should do our part. Then it's up to the congresscritters to do the right thing.

I've never looked closely...

at the laws on the books against treason and the lesser charge of sedition. But it seems to me that most in our gov't would never have the will to enforce these laws. If they were enforced, I truly believe that many would be behind bars right now and rightfully so. I believe the last person to enforce these laws was Lincoln. Not sure, however. But during a time of war a higher standard must be kept. Also, if the Congress is going to fund a war there should also be a declaration of war. DD

realize the fact that He [the creator] is where our rights and liberties flow from.

Could this be the reason that those left have such an anti-Christian policy? They want to try to show that it's from government not the Lord that gives us our rights. The Founders knew this just read their writings, etc.

Always good to keep in touch with you.

Yes, to answer your question, I do believe that is it, and it is because Bush is a Christian, and not ashamed to say it, that he is so reviled by the Left.

It might be difficult this election [2008] with Ruddy and his more liberal social leanings, Romney, McCain after McCain-Feingold [some might feel it's his turn, like Dole].

There is much talk about evangelicals what they will or will not do with the Republican voting?

As far as 08, I also wonder if it's McCain's "turn"...and as to evangelicals...the concerns are largely on the social issues, and the war on terror...time will tell who looks appealing among the candidates.

Can't believe how much the House Democrats seem to want to stab our troops in the back.

The left wants to take your money and give it to someone else.
