The
War in Iraq...
Democrat Bruce Slater
“Even though we
opposed the dictator and supported free elections, our troops are
now a catalyst for violence. We need an immediate, planned exit - a
responsible withdrawal, in a timely fashion.”
Republican Joe Pitts
Has voted to support the
Bush administration on issues relating to continuing the war in Iraq
one hundred eleven (111) times since 2002.
Pitts has received
$1,000 in campaign contributions from Halliburton Co. PAC
Pitts has received
at least $38,000 in campaign contributions from the arms and defense
industry PAC’s
Is
the Surge Working?
The surge is working
according to Rep. Joe Pitts.
Halleluiah! Finally, after five years of the bumbling and
incompetence of the Bush administration, an administration that Mr.
Pitts so closely supports, they get one thing right.
Morale is high
because our troops are finally getting the support they should have
had in the beginning. Meanwhile, morale here at home is sinking to
all time lows. Skyrocketing fuel prices, stock market sinking,
mortgage meltdowns, and health-care costs through the roof, assuming
you can afford to have health insurance.
I remind you, Mr.
Pitts, you voted YES for all the Bush policies. You had five
years to stand up or speak out against the bad choices that Bush and
his civilian war team made, and you failed.
The bad choices
that cause the death or injury of our men and women in uniform. The
bad choices that has resulted in the deaths of so many innocent
women and children in Iraq. Five years later you finally speak out
and try to throw Paul Bremmer and Karl Rove under the bus for their
mistakes that were made with the Bush blessing.
Again it is
demonstrated that taking responsibility for one’s actions is not a
trait carried by many of our elected officials in Washington. No,
it’s always someone else’s fault.
The crust of the
biscuit is, five years ago we invaded Iraq, based on a lie,
ill-prepared and undermanned, with no clear exit plan. And now the
taxpayers and the economy are paying for it now.
