Nothing.

Not true. Joe Biden has a plan. Harold Ford has a plan. Murtha has a
plan.

Can you please convey those specific plans? -Because I've listened to both
those men many times, and they utterly failed to convey one.

Hell, it's only been 3 days since the election. How about giving us
the Republican plan first? I mean, we've only been fighting over there
3 and a half years now. Surely, they've come up with something other
than, "I'm all ears."

You have to love a political party that openly encourages their
members to act like 6-year olds from a trailer park. You just know
I'll be watching Mark Morgan's future posts for such insightful
commentary.

Oh lighten up, Al.
Did you happen to read the description below the image? I have gripes with
voters from ALL sides. All I had to do was stand in line for 40 minutes
waiting to vote...and listen to people talking about why they would vote
this or that. It was really pathetic--on BOTH sides.
Stupid Republicans...and stupid Democrats...with some exceptions on both
sides.
The vote becomes so watered down by those who don't even read the ballot
(much less, come in with a working knowledge of ballot measures/candidates)
that the tally is forever doomed to be very near 50-50 in yes/no
votes...with rare exception.
Heck, Arizona had a ballot measure this year to create a Million Dollar
prize to be given to a random voter...to get people to the polls!! What a
sad commentary on the "Average American Voter."
-I can't think of a worse idea. All that would do is puch even MORE yahoos
with no basis for an opinion to punch a ballot or push a button.

By the way... What do you think of my little gorilla image?
-Not bad, considering I was shooting through two inches of scratched
glass...

And by the way, Al.
Has it occurred to you that the majority of these gorilla voters...didn't
even vote?
-Likely preferring to sit at home watching Dancing with the Stars, or some
other issue of similarly great national importance.

If they had an alternative plan, we'd have heard it.

It is unlikely you'd have heard it listening to Rush or FOX News.
You Repugs keep throwing up that strawman that the Dems have no plans,
but the truth is that you just haven't heard them cause you have your
heads buried up Rush and Hannity's asses.

Joe Biden and Harold Ford have essentially the same plan which
involves
dividing up Iraq into three states. Biden writes about it he

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...082301419.html

So now that you know the plans of some of the Democrats, perhaps it's
time for the Republican Administration to reveal it's plan for leaving
Iraq. Surely, they have something three and a half years into the
war,
right? I'm sure you'll agree that only an utter idiot would go into
battle without an exit stategy. I mean, that's just basic stategery.

I never listen to Rush...and I get most of my news from the liberal Union
Tribune in San Diego...and CNN.com.

They have plans. But you'll have to turn the dial to hear them.

Wouldn't you agree that one should have an exit stategy before going to
war?
Shouldn't it be "incumbent" upon the incumbents to come up with a plan
since they got us into this quagmire? It's odd that we've been over
there in Iraq 3.5 years and the Dems haven't even taken office yet, and
yet you Repugs are whining like little bitches that "The Dems don't
have a plan!"

Do you start a fight for life and death to live...or to merely fight or a
while and die?

It's not whining when it's true.

Yeah, Bush dealt them a pretty crappy hand. I think it's time for a
new dealer.

You missed the point entirely (for lack of an answer, I'm sure).
They claim to have an alternate way of dealing with Iraq, and yet their
"hand" is empty.

I'd have chosen General Wesley Clark. But that's just me.

What plan did you vote for?

Haven't you dummies figured it out yet, you don't need a plan, just put the
US military at President Saddam's disposal and he'll have things quiet
within a week. Problem solved, lets move on already ;-]
