He won't be able to because it's never been said. It's just Republican propaganda meant for Republicans to keep the base in line.Caine said:I disagree.
Show me, without taking someone's words out of context and reading into something that wasn't a part of the original meaning, where any democrat has used the words "Cut and Run" as a part of thier Agenda in Iraq.

Uhmm...yes you do actually have to say the words if people are going to "quote" the unspoken words as fact otherwise there are untruths being written and said which is exactly what my last post pointed out. Say the lie over and over again and the most gullible amongst the Republican party will buy into every word.Navy Pride said:You know you don't actually have to say the words to mean that.....When Dean says

I know you weren't asking me, but this alone would garner my vote. I like my politicians to protect the constitutional rights they swore to uphold, at least once in a while. Little quirk of mine.Feingold, the only senator out of 100 to vote against the PA in 2001.....nuff said.......
CoffeeSaint said:A vote for the loser also shows the winner that his support is not universal, which tends to promote caution and a willingness to compromise, thus helping to forward the agenda you wanted when you voted for the loser. You should always vote for who you want, not for who you think will win; that way lies Fahrenheit 451's elections, where Winston Noble defeats Hubert Hoag, because Noble looks ike a president and Hoag picks his nose.
By the way:

Last point: Hillary Clinton will not run until people are willing to listen to her speak; if we are willing to listen to her in '08, she'll run. If not, she may try for a VP spot. She may be Machiavellian, but that means she's smart enough to pick her time to make her move -- and you will not find a single nominee for president who is not Machiavellian. We are so far past the point where an unwilling nominee would win, it isn't funny.

This is not an accurate and true statement. Meet The Press has all of their transcripts on the MSNBC website so please prove your assertion.Navy Pride said:I wonder what the date was on that...I heard him on Meet the Press say we should pull out as soon as possible..
Source: http://feingold.senate.gov/Feingold on Iraq and America's National Security
We need a policy on Iraq that includes a public, flexible timetable for completing our military mission there, so that we can focus on our national security priority – defeating the global terrorist networks that threaten the U.S.
I have proposed December 31, 2006 as the target date for the completion of the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq. Our brave service members and their families deserve answers about how long they can expect to be in Iraq. The American people deserve a clear plan for concluding our military mission. And the Iraqi people need to know without any doubt that we do not intend to stay in that country indefinitely.
Source: http://msnbc.msn.com/id/8926876/MR. GREGORY: Explain why you've taken this step at this point. Why set this target date?
SEN. FEINGOLD: Well, it's been a long time coming. I didn't support the war in Iraq in the first place. But once the country decided to go into Iraq, I felt it was very important that we do the best we can to success and support our troops. The problem is is that we're not getting the leadership from the administration. The president is not telling us what is the time frame, what are the benchmarks and what is the possible completion date for this mission. And what's happening is the American public is really despairing of the situation.
I tried first to simple offer a resolution a couple of months ago to ask the president to give us a sense of his own of how long this will take and give the world a sense of when we might finish what some people call an American occupation. We didn't get any response from the president. His last speech was just a bunch of the same slogans we hear all the time. And, frankly, we got very little reaction from the members of the Senate. So I felt it was time to at least put on the table an idea, get the discussion going, break the taboo and say, "Look, let's see if we can remove the troops after we succeed with a series of steps by the end of December 2006. Let's see if we can have a target date that will work."
If I am wrong I will graciously write a post in this thread admitting that I was mistaken. We all make mistakes afterall, right Navy?Navy Pride said:I wonder what the date was on that...I heard him on Meet the Press say we should pull out as soon as possible..

This president will not ask the crooked french and Germans permission to protect our country like Feingold and the dems want to do.....He believes unlike Kerry that the war on terrorism is a war for our very existence and not to be fought as a police action or in a very sensitive manner as Kerry wants to do.......
Judging by everything that I've been reading, it seems far more likely that Mark Warner of Virginia will be the candidate in '08.
Navy Pride said:I like Warner and might even vote for him if he got the nomination.....Sadly that will not happen, he is to much of a moderate..........
As far as Hillary goes I can not think of one red state she would carry......
Caine said:Well, seeing as how you are "Very Conservative", and constantly bash the Democratic Party, I don't think your in the position to even GUESS who will be the Democratic Nominee.
Tell me one way in which you are qualified to be so assertive in your opinions on a party your not a part of and hate with a passion?
Tell us the truth Navy Pride, You only want Hillary Clinton to win Nomination because you know she will not win the election. This is just wishful thinking.
independent_thinker2002 said:Eveyone thinks, "we should pull out as soon as possible". The definition of possible may be debateable. The French and Germans wouldn't be protecting our country, they would be securing Iraq. Iraq is not America's 51st state. How can you infer that "liberals" are spineless and cowardly yet they aren't the ones scared about our very existence? C'mon, the terrorists haven't even destroyed a third world country let alone a superpower. I think the conservatives might need to grow some cahones.

You do see where Gore and Kerry will be throwing their hat's in the ring as well. Gore and Kerry give the most credence to the term 'liblosers', other than Ted Kennedy, but he's already liblost back in 1980. HeHeHe!
Navy Pride said:I think I can guess who the dem nominee just as well as you can......I am part of no party and i hate no party...........I look at the issues from a Conservative VS Liberal viewpoint...
Yeah I would love to see a good conservative kick Hillary's butt........I have never denied that..........
Navy Pride said:Everyone wants to pull out, the difference is the democrats want to pull out now, the republicans want to pull out when the job is finished..That is a huge difference........

Do you know what your talking ABOUT?
Gore already said he doesn't plan on running for another political office, ever.
ptsdkid said:You obviously missed Gore out on the stump a couple daze ago. The prime time lunatic hasn't changed a bit. His hat is already in, sport.
You know, even a broken clock is right twice a day...so how come you're always wrong?ptsdkid said:You obviously missed Gore out on the stump a couple daze ago. The prime time lunatic hasn't changed a bit. His hat is already in, sport.
Caine said:Ummm... Asking you this is like asking a retard how to tie his shoe, but....
Do you have any proof of this???
Ummm... Okay, I'll show you my claim of Gore said he is NEVER RUNNING FOR OFFICE AGAIN. If you can prove that he recently (a couple of daze ago as you put it) said he was putting it in for 2008.ptsdkid said:There isn't any intrinsic proof that even Hillary is going to run. This is politics here, McCain. Sort of like believing Mohammed Ali was going to retire some half dozen times before he actually did.
Only if you agree to rename the Republican Party the "American Taliban"Now go down like a nice lemming and vote on my question of changing the ACLU's name to the Liberal Taliban.

JustMyPOV said:Well, you'll get to see a good moderate politely and respectfully kick her butt, but it'll be in the primaries. Warner is the buzz of the party, Hillary is the buzz of the media. When it comes to primaries, it's usually the buzz of the party that comes to be, as I'm sure you well know. The collective media thought for sure that McCain had the GOP nod in 2000, remember?
Edited to say: I could very well envision Hillary as his running mate, however.
