They Don't Want To Talk About It

Today, Senate Republicans including our own Wayne Allard voted to fillibuster debate on the Iraq war. It's gone so badly, they don't want it debated in the Senate. Their tactic of trying to suppress public debate on the issue has failed - we will continue to debate Bush's Folly and we will continue to support the troops by trying to bring them home.

So how does this relate to HD40? We are a Democratic organization and the good Senator has indicated he will live by his word and not seek re-election in 2008. We will need to support the Democratic candidate - hopefully a full-fledged Democrat this time around. One way we can do so is to remind people continually that the Republicans are too embarassed to talk about their Great Experiment of bringing Democracy to the Middle East and all but two of them are on the record as opposing the debate.

We overwhelmingly rejected the War in Iraq in the last election. Republicans have apparently taken the short view of supporting their elite constituency over our views. That rejection of their electorate will cost them. It's our job to exact that price.
