Yes, yes, yes! Tell it like it is! Heather Wilson: No accountability. No common sense. No honesty. No backbone. In bed with Bush.
We all need to band together and really support Madrid on this one. We have someone running for this seat who really is on OUR side, and on the side of reason.

Wilson is nothing but a go along to get along rep. She's lucked out in the past but this time she has to face the consequences of not asking for straight answers on this horrible war. Only a change in the Congress can get us out of this quagmire.

Yes Barb, but "$250 MILLION A DAY FOR AN OCCUPATION" sounds more accurate to me. Bu$hCo is trying to link Iraq with the "war on terrorism", we Dem's need to get the message out that Iraq has NOTHING to do with terrorism, two separate issues, that's why I keep saying "call it an OCCUPATION" I know that sounds picky but, details do matter in campaigns.

VP: You are correct of course:
$250 A DAY FOR THE IRAQ OCCUPATION!
I still think True Majority's Oreo piles are a terrific illustration of what we spend on the military compared with other efforts:

And just think, there are more Oreos on the Pentagon pile with more than $300 billion added on for the occupation.
