You decide whether the Democratic Party supports or opposes the Iraq War

There is a clear fight in the Democratic party right now between Democratic liberals and the Republican Party Refugees who now call themselves Democrats.

The Washington Post writes that remarks about an immediate pullout of National Guard troops over the next six months and strategic redeployment of American troops in Iraq is dividing the Democratic Party. The truth is, it's dividing the elected Democrats without a backbone. The American citizens who make up the Democratic party membership are not divided in supporting rescuing out troops from Iraq.

First, contact your own congressional representative and senators and ask them to support Nancy Pelosi and Howard Dean's proposal for a pullout of national guard troops and a strategic redeployment of American troops in Iraq. Be sure to make mention that we're hearing the same lies about winning that were repeated during the Vietnam war and it's time for our soldiers to stop dying for lies.

Then contact the timid Democrats who are not willing to admit that Iraq is another Vietnam and that the Bush administration continues to lie about the possibility of victory in Iraq. From the Washington Post article, here are a few of the Timidcrats to contact:

Rep. Jim Marshall (D-Ga.) said, "Dean's take on Iraq makes even less sense than the scream in Iowa: Both are uninformed and unhelpful."

Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Rahm Emanuel (Ill.)

and Rep. Steny H. Hoyer (Md.), the second-ranking House Democratic leader, have told colleagues that Pelosi's recent endorsement of a speedy withdrawal, combined with her claim that more than half of House Democrats support her position, could backfire on the party.

Senate Minority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) embodies this cautious approach. He has resisted adopting a concrete Iraq policy.

Democratic Reps. Jane Harman

and Ellen Tauscher, both of California, support the same plan as Harry Reid.

"I absolutely disagree" with Dean, said Patrick Murphy, a Democrat who is running for the suburban Philadelphia House seat now occupied by GOP Rep. Michael G. Fitzpatrick.

Rep. Chet Edwards (D-Tex.), who represents a district Bush won easily in 2004, said he disagrees with Pelosi and Dean.

Obama renewed his opposition to immediately pulling troops from Iraq.

A growing number of Democrats and liberal groups have called for a troop withdrawal, while party leaders such as Sens. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut and Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York have dismissed such efforts as dangerously misguided.

Remember, it's not cut and running, it's a strategic withdrawal because our president is a dumbass.

Very good information. I
