Bring home the troops

It looks like the Republicans are changing their minds after reading the information that is on the Internet…See below…

I have seen postings on the E-mails I have been getting saying:

Cheney better know as the soldier, marine, sailor, and airman killer.
Congress the authority to impeach the president, vice president and "all civil Officers of the United States" for "treason, bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." They have file articles of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney

If the Republicans don’t start to bring home the troops soon they are going to be known as the soldier, marine, sailor, and airman killers. Would you ever use this in your campaign??? Yes or No

* "[I]n a remarkably blunt White House meeting," House Republican moderates "warned President Bush this week that his pursuit of the war in Iraq is risking the future of the Republican Party and that he cannot count on GOP support for many more months." (Washington Post)

The "session demonstrated the grave unease many Republicans are feeling about the war, even as they continue to stand with the president." (New York Times)

"I've been to a lot of meetings at the White House... I've been to a lot of meetings with the president about the war.
This was one of the toughest, frankest, no-holds-barred meetings in terms of the members who were there giving their assessment of where they think things are in their district and the country." - Rep. Ray LaHood (R-IL) (Chicago
Tribune)
