Since the Democrats were complicit in Bush's "surge", 400 American families lost a son/daughter

[mudesi]

305 have lost their lives this year. 5 in the first 6 days of this month.

An unknown, but higher by a factor number of Iraqi civilians have also been slain.
Another unknown, but higher by an exponent number of people are in wheelchairs, have lost their eyesight, and have committed suicide. A certain percentage of those people will end up under a bridge somewhere, forgotten by their country like discarded trash.

Mr. Bush, Mr. Cheney, Mr. Rumsfeld, Mr. Wolfowitz, Mr. Kristol, and Mr. Pearle will live out the rest of their lives in comfort, wealth, and privilege while Ms. Pelosi, Mr. Reid, Mr. Obama, and several others will turn a blind eye.

Just thought I'd throw that out there.

3. Yes, I'm just like Lieberman.

The entire world is black and white either/or. I fit exactly into the box you're placing me in.

4. Now I'm curious

Why edit? Say what you had to say. I won't bite.

5. I just wonder why

turn the other way when members of our own Party work against our values?

Does it help us to ignore this stuff?

6. Obama opposed the surge

and continued to defend his opposition to the surge at great political cost.

So I wonder, why work against members of our own party when they defend progressive values? Would it kill you to give Obama credit when he deserves it instead of searching for ways to prove how he isn't liberal enough?

7. Who mentioned Obama?

The OP merely said "Democrats." I assume the reference was to those Congressional Democrats who supported and voted for the surge. I wasn't even thinking of Obama.

8. Here it is:

"will live out the rest of their lives in comfort, wealth, and privilege while Ms. Pelosi, Mr. Reid, Mr. Obama, and several others will turn a blind eye."

9. mmm, my bad, I missed that.

I actually am willing to give Obama a honeymoon, at least until May Day, to see what he really does. I'm not holding my breath, but I will withold judgement.

Regarding the others... blood on their hands.
