House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, despite their pledges to continue pushing to end the war in Iraq, face growing pressure from their rank-and-file Democrats to focus more attention on domestic, "pocketbook" issues in the upcoming election year.

Junior Democrats describe an "Iraq fatigue" setting in among some members after dozens of successful withdrawal votes failed to drive a wedge between Republicans and President Bush on the war strategy.

Besides altering the war strategy, the Dems need to proceed with impeachment, post haste.

It was embarassing to see Reid, Pelosi Emanuel, and Hoyer all toot their own horns and describe their magnificent progress, when there's almost a unanimous consensus proving the contrary.

And Reid should have got a tomatoe right between the eyes for his "Joe Lieberman is my good friend" crap, trying to defend this war loving Demorat bashing a**hole -proving Reid doesnt; think much of his Democratic base either.

Reid and the rest of the Lieberman party should be thrown out of the Democratic party.

While they have lost site of their principles, others of us have not.
I hope all will help me bring Barack Obama into the Whitehouse.

If you want to see Lieberman and Reid and the others listed have even more power than ever before -elect Hillary Clinton, and kiss your Democratic asses goodby.

Voters are tired these stupid wars are not ending and our troops are still dying for no good reason every single day.

That is "war fatigue" and not simply "Iraq fatigue."

Stop the wars and bring our troops home.

NOW!
