Mole's Progressive Democrat

The Progressive Democrat Newsletter grew out of the frustration of the 2004 election. Originally intended for New York City progressives, its readership is now national. For anyone who wants to be alerted by email whenever this newsletter is updated (usually weekly), please send your email address and let me know what state you live in (so I can keep track of my readership).

    Progressive Democrat Issue 166

    Last week was the 5th Annniversary of Bush's idiotic "Mission Accomplished" moment. And John McCain tried defending Bush, blaming it on the Navy. This led to a considerable amount of attention on John McCain's own suggestion that we should stay in the Iraq Quagmire for 100 years. Howard Dean in particular slammed McCain for his willingness to sacrifice American soldiers for oil profits for 100 years. Poor John McCain didn't like having people pick on him, so John "wimp" McCain began whining and complaining about it. Well, Mr. McCain, if you can't take criticism of a stupid policy, how the hell are you going to stand up to al-Qaeda? Oh, yeah...just like Bush you plan on wasting time, money, and lives in Iraq rather than actually fighting al-Qaeda, the people who attacked us.

    Why are the Republicans such crybabies? Look Mr. McCain. YOU are the one who said you wanted to stay in Iraq for 100 years. Don't blame us for holding you to your word and criticizing the stupidity of it. Even the mainstream media is sick of the same old Republican failures:



    Meanwhile, despite the constant warmongering of the Republicans, their policies continue to neglect our soldiers, leading to soldiers being electrocuted because our government refuses to hold companies accountable for their inability to fulfill the fat contracts the Republicans gave them. Meanwhile John "Bush" McCain is siding with Bush on refusing to help our Veterans, and Democrats are standing up to him on our Veterans' behalf.
