Here are a couple of replies to Divided We Stand: amen, pennpatriot -- by haystack haystack's 12th: Conservatives (and Presidential Candidates especially) shall offer no aid and comfort to the opposition in times of legislative conflict (and ensuing political campaigns). Reply To This — divided we fall by pilgrim Thank you for posting this. I wonder how you managed to get inside my head and put into words a lot of the things that I have been thinking about lately.:>) I watched the Fox Wall Street Journal report last night, and there was interesting conversation between regular panelists and guest Mark Steyn. Mark said that Democrats in the US look at the Iraq conflict as the Republican's war, and some of the Senate Republicans join forces with some to call it Bush's war. The rest of the world sees America at war. The Congress can legislate a defeat, and the defeat is going to belong to America in the view of the rest of the world. I worry that the politicians are not smart enough to look at things in the long term. Both political parties have got to discover the difference between domestic policy discourse and foreign policy discourse. I am not sure that I see a present day Arthur Vandenberg in either party. You’re a persistent cuss, pilgrim. John Wayne to Jimmy Stewart in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance Reply To This — You got it pilgrim by pennpatriot Piligrim, Thanks for your comments. My post came from my heart. After watching all the talk shows today I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. It just built up all morning and thank God for RedState which allows me an outlet to release my frustration. The sad truth is our political system is full of characters that are quick to blame the other person and lack the forsight to hold themselves accountable. Virtually all of the Democratic leadership voted for the use of force to invade Iraq. Now they make excuses. We were misled. The war was mismanaged. If I knew now what I knew then I wanted have voted for the use of force. This should be unacceptable. The truth is the American people have not last faith in our military or the cause. They have lost faith in the ability of political leader to stand together. The American people are not stupid. If we don't have the leadership in Washington we can never be victorious in any conflict.
