SDGOP Chairman: Herseth shows her true colors
In an editorial in the Yankton Daily, newly minted SDGOP State Chairman Karl Adam hits hard at Congresswoman Stephanie Herseth over her lack of support for the troops overseas in favor of following Speaker Pelosi:
The war in Iraq is a difficult situation. Too many of our young men and women have died and the sacrifice of many others has been great. Families have been separated from loved ones for a year at a time or longer. Brave soldiers who have been on the front-lines fighting the terrorists slinking around the countryside have sustained serious and life-threatening injuries. Each and every American has been affected by this war and each of us hopes and prays for its speedy and safe conclusion.Read the whole guest editorial here in the Yankton newspaper.
What Mrs. Herseth Sandlin has lent her voice to though, while calling for a quick end to the conflict, certainly is not a safe option for our troops, the Iraqi people or America which is in the crosshairs of merciless terrorists.
Handing the schedule of when our soldiers will be retreating to our enemies completely undermines all that has been done in Iraq. It's just common sense that says you don't give military secrets to the enemy, yet Mrs. Herseth Sandlin and the Democrats seem happy and eager to do that.

Maybe Karl Rove Adam should consult with his hero Senator Larry Pressler, a Vietnam veteran, about why America is slaughtering its young in a war that was created by a trail of lies.
The American people will sure be glad when it's over.
The person who issued the White House memo suggesting that politics built around the excuse of 9/11 would win elections for a long, long time was Karl Rove. He did this BEFORE the invasion.
Republican Party strategists designed this war, they are conducting it, they are using it to divide our nation and, now that it has backfired, they are going to pay a heavy price for their hoax.
NO demand that the Iraqi government take responsibility for its own security - after 4 years of training their security forces. Just open-ended offer to stay there forever until they decide to step up to the plate.
NO accountability to the American taxpayer - keep shipping all of our taxes to Iraq indefinitely. NO demand that Iraq pay its own way with oil revenues or that our allies pay a fair share.
NO accountability to our servicemen and their families - we'll just keep you over there forever instead of demanding that Iraq step up for its own security, and instead of demanding that our allies pony up with troops. Wave goodbye to the Brits as they leave like the Italians, Swedes, Spanish, Australians, everybody else.
NO accountability to our wounded veterans. The administration has always opposed mandatory VA funding. If you get wounded, we'll send you to deteriorating facilities that are underfunded, and give you and your families the runaround.
The Bush administration should have given the Iraqi government tough love a long time ago. It's time to shape up Iraqi government because we're about done rewarding laziness and irresponsibility with American lives and taxpayer dollars.
The Democratic plan gives full support to the troops, but also demands that the Iraqi government get its arse in gear within 1 year. Shouldn't Bush and the former Republican congress have done the same thing a year ago? If they had, it might still be a Republican Congress.
While you administration loyalists publicly attack Democrats and reasonable Republicans, you do your grumbling and handwringing in private. You know that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice and Rove have failed the test of leadership.
Between bad decisions and indecision, they lost our allies. They lost the Republican majority in Congress. They have damaged the Republican Party for years to come. And there is no end in sight.
Will some one tell dippity doog and scrotumtar that Rummy left the administration some time ago. It's Gates now....
Whoops. I thought mission was accomplished. Still no? Not yet? Maybe next year? Two years? Fifteen years?
As mama told Forrest Gump, "can't fix stupid." You ought to know, Anon 11:37.
Moron.
They call him "W" so he can spell it.
