They chanted "No blood for oil", they threw up in the streets, they protested since day one of the Iraq war. They cheered with great joy with the U.S death toll reached 1,000 and will crow even louder when we reach 2,000. Take note at the glee in their tones when we reach that point.

They brought out widows of 9-11 victims to condemn Bush, they complained about torture, comparing that to Concentration camps. They marched along side with communist, Palestinians, and the enviruntics... to now avail.

They protested the RNC convention, even drug Cindy Sheehan to put her sappy face just for the cameras. They even got poll numbers that show we are losing Iraq.

Now Liberals chase any lead they think will lead to Bush's departure, as though that lead will end their misery and put them back in office.

Two things about the war protestors that I noticed. Liberals almost stop protesting the war in Iraq whenever they think they have something new on Bush. Once it bombs out, they go back to the war.

For example, Katrina, Fema, Brown... no, doesn't work? Okay, let's get back to protesting the war.

John Roberts? Wow, that protest doesn't work, let's get back to the war on terrorism, the real issue at hand.

Tom Delay, once liberals grab a sense of sanity, they'll realize that the Republicans had more against Clinton than liberals have against Tom Delay. Sooner or later, depending on how far gone liberals are, they'll get back to protesting the war on Iraq.

The fact that liberals keep getting back on the Iraq message is because that's the best they have. The fact that liberals keep looking leaving their message for some ridiculous message is because the protests simply aren't working. They know this, the Republicans know this, Bush knows this, and the Democrats know this.

If it was working so well, they would keep hammering it and hammering it. No, they keep looking for something else to criticize Bush for. Does anybody remember people criticizing Clinton during the administration for anything other than Monica? Don't get me wrong, I was critical of Clinton for other things besides Monica. But the Monica message worked, unlike the anti American message.

Yes, I have seen the poll numbers, but poll numbers can often be misleading. Something else, though those numbers get trotted around about the opposition to the war, those poll numbers also show that Americans aren't interested in leaving. Again, forget about the poll numbers, let's look at the real numbers. Zero.

Why Zero? Well, that's the number of congressmen against the war. Zero is also the number of Senators against the war. Zero is also the number of bills that are being introduced, have been introduced, or will be introduced by legislatures to pull our troops out of Iraq.

There is another significant number and that is...19. Oops, had a Louis Farakhan moment there. 1. That's right, one, 1, uno. That's the number of bills introduced by liberal Charles Rangel trying to bring back the draft. Maybe Charles Rangel thinks we need even MORE troops to fight the war in Iraq.

So what does that mean? One of three things. First, it can mean that all the congressmen are behind the war with some giving lip service to the lunatic left. Perhaps after listening to the testimony they all believe that the United States IS making the right decision and are most concerned about the well being of our country. Of course some would have to give the occassional lip service to those opposed to the war so that the war protestors continue to vote for them. It's nothing more than appeasement and the lunatic left continues to gobble it up just as the gobble up everything else the Democrats give them to suck on.

The second is that they are for the war, but also infringing on people's freedom. If the war on Iraq is percieved to be going awry, then many politicians can pass more laws because they know most Americans want to win the war on terrorism. Wars make for an excuse to be unconstitutional. If people are fearful of LOSING the war, they will be more likely to give up freedom in order to win.

The third reason is probably most likely, politicians see these poll numbers, but they also have their own internal poll numbers and are concerned most with re-election. They apoease the lunatic left with rhetoric but would never dare pull out because they know what the majority of their constituents and Americans want and that's to win the war in Iraq.

In short, the war protestors have won very little, in fact, have hurt their party more than aided it. Tom Delay will be a good example of that. Whether anybody likes it or not, we are in Iraq for the long haul and we aren't going anywhere. The actions of politicians speak louder than the words of the lunatic left.
