NOW WATCH MY RIGHT HAND CAREFULLY... Many right wingers and GOP Hardliners have their tighty whiteys in quite a twist over the MoveOn ad in the New York Times. Frankly, I didn't care for the ad because I don't care for things that sow hate & devisiveness. But it wasn't that bad. On the other hand I give them credit for cajhones . Anyway, I cancelled my subscription to the NYTimes years ago. But aren't there more vitally important things for us to focus on?

When the much-hyped White House-written 'Petraeus report' is given to the public, it will be on the sixth anniversary of an attack on American targets perpetrated by those who had absolutely nothing to do with the 2001-government of Iraq. Like the cherry-picked intelligence reports of 2002, bits and pieces of General Petraeus' thoughts will be carefully selected to suit the White House's political needs to cover for their five-year mistake. It's time to take a stand. SOURCE Republican Meltdown on Iraq Continues WASHINGTON – With just days left before the “Iraq Summer” Campaign’s national Take a Stand Day a new White House front group, led by former White House spokesman Ari Fleischer, launched attack ads to shore up support among Republicans whose constituents want an end to the war.
