Spineless RINOs give Reid hope

According to S.A. Miller in today’s Washington Times, Limp-rag Lugar and Voinovich (RINO – OH) have given Dingy Harry Reid hope;

Ohio Sen. George V. Voinovich yesterday called for a “military disengagement” from Iraq, the second Republican this week to voice doubts about President Bush’s troop-surge strategy while simultaneously discrediting Democrats’ plans for an abrupt pullout.

Sen. Richard G. Lugar of Indiana, the ranking Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, said in a speech Monday that the president should “downsize the U.S. military’s role in Iraq” and forge a new Middle East strategy.

Democratic leaders and antiwar groups seized upon the remarks, especially Mr. Lugar’s, as evidence their plan to isolate Mr. Bush from his Republican allies was working.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat who vows by fall to pass a troop-withdrawal bill, called Mr. Lugar’s speech “a turning point” in the war debate.

But Mr. Voinovich and Mr. Lugar oppose Democratic alternatives, including pullout timetables they say would undermine U.S. credibility.

So why’d they even say what they said? As Jules Crittenden wrote “[Lugar] and Voinovich don’t want to be against a U.S. troop presence in Iraq.  They just doesn’t want to be for it.”

Why couldn’t these two goofballs carry their monkey-asses up to the White House and talk to the President in private instead of shooting off their big, fat mouths in public?

The lawmakers’ careful moves to challenge Mr. Bush while not outright joining antiwar Democrats highlights the rocky political landscape confronting Republicans as the war they have loyally supported grows more unpopular each day.

Hey! Dumbasses! War is always unpopular, for Pete’s sake. And the only reason it’s dragged out this long is because stupid morons such as yourselves won’t

Mr. Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, plan in September to pursue more measures to end the war.

They backed down last month when Mr. Bush vetoed a timetable to pullout troops by April. Next time, they hope enough Republicans will defect to give them the two-thirds majority vote needed to override a veto.

Of course, two Republicans don’t mean squat in the Big Scheme of Things, but I’m tired of Leftists who email me these articles about some Republican that the Left thought was the stupidest moron on the planet last week – but suddenly he’s a freakin’ rocket surgeon because he agrees incidently to some goofball Leftist tenet – yeah, I’m talking about you, Bink.
