Republican Rep. Deborah Pryce (OH-15) just doesn't get it and neither does the rest of the GOP. The people in the 15th district want our family members home. Americans want Bush's war in Iraq over. We want our sons and daughters home before another one dies. Too many lives have been lost and too many lives have been changed forever because Bush and the neo-cons decided to invade Iraq.
However, Pryce and the GOP want us to continue to stay in Iraq. Why? Why? How we will know when the war is won?
The disconnect that this administration has from the human cost of this war was displayed yesterday. This is from Think Progress:
White House Press Secretary Tony Snow was asked this afternoon if President Bush had any reaction to the death toll for U.S. troops in Iraq reaching 2,500. Snow responded: “It’s a number.” Watch it
If this White House and the Republicans think that the deaths of 2500 Americans is just a number, it shows their pure political purpose for keeping our men and women in Iraq: The Republicans don't want to admit that the reason for the war was a lie.
:> This takes the cake: Despite the fact that Republican Congressman Lynn Westmoreland (GA-R) co-sponsored a bill about the Ten Commandments, Westmoreland can't name them. Steven Colbert visited Westmoreland and Crooks and Liars has the video. Video-WMP Video-QT
Re: the VFW endorsement of Pryce= It is goes against the bylaws of the VFW.
I found out that: No one in the VFW can endorse any political candidate except the VFW-PAC Board of Directors. This information came from someone in the VFW in DC.
