| Confessions of a 'Defeatocrat' |
| 2006-10-16 |
| By John P. Murtha The Republicans are running scared. In the White House, on Capitol Hill and on the campaign trail, they're worried about losing control of Congress. And so the administration and the GOP have launched a desperate assault on Democrats and our position on the war in Iraq. Defeatists, they call us, and appeasers and -- oh so cleverly -- "Defeatocrats." Vice President Cheney has accused Democrats of "self-defeating pessimism." Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has faulted us for believing that "vicious extremists can be appeased." The White House calls Democrats the party of "cut and run." It's all baseless name-calling, and it's all wrong. Unless, of course, being a Defeatocrat means taking a good hard look at the administration's Iraq policy and determining that it's a failure. |

| #8 don'tcha wish that someone would conduct a survey of the Kos Kiddies mental heath? I don't think that the real question would be "do a majority of them have a mental illness" but rather, what percentage that majority actually represents. I'd bet 80% - I'd go with 95% but I'm sure at least 15% have not been yet diagnosed or are self-medicating with drugs and alcohol. "mommy was so mean to me!" |

| #7 Isn't there a dem with an original thought? An origina plan? An original idea? Nothing here but the same old tired buzzwords and leftist lies. "Rovianism"? Pu..leese. I'm convinced that not only do they not give a damn about our troops or our Country, they have a mental deficiency. |

| #5 They [Our Troops] deserve a clear and achievable mission and they deserve to know precisely what it will take to accomplish it. They deserve answers, not spin. Shameless |

| #3 The DemoLefties + MSM know that Dubya = USA is SSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH prevailing and winning the WOT > regardless any rhetoric to the contrary, DEMOLEFT > 2008 is covertly about the empowerment + future entrenchment of US-LED GLOBAL WELFARISM WHILE WEAKENING AMERICAN GEOPOL INFLUENCE ABROAD. As per usual, the Dems can't be blamed for anything, espec wid what they do internationally-geopol wid Americans' tax dollars. The Left's answer to error-prone US Male Brute FASCISM = RIGHTIST SOCIALISM-AUTHORITARIAN ULTRACONSERVATIVISM is MOTHERLY, CARING COMMUNISM = LEFTSOCIALISM-TOTALITARIAN ULTRACONSERVATIVISM. GOP-RIGHT fights the Wars-Battles, DEMOLEFTIES spend the Peace. |

| #2 Interesting that WaPo gave him space. He must be running a little scared, though I thought the polls showed he would win. Maybe Irey is closer than we think to knocking this turd out, heh, SPoD. The use of defeatocrat as a perjorative by a defeatocrat is precious. |
