They all betrayed us

freedomBy VictorM: My take on MoveOn.org's General Petraeus commercial is simple: everything they said on the ad is true but aiming it at a military man, even one who let himself become a pawn for the lies that followed, was a mistake (they should have gone after Bush); the Senate resolution was shameful and uncalled for and only served to change the subject, and the Democrats who voted for it will not get a single dime of my money.

Bush, the Republican party, and some Democrats simply kicked the first amendment on the teeth. And of course, Rudy Giuliani is acting like a royal ass about it too, saying this about the ad: "It passed a line that we should not allow American political organizations to pass." . These people really do hate our freedom.

I'm pleased to read this piece in an email from MoveOn.org:

Yesterday, an amazing thing happened. After the Senate's shameful vote, and after President Bush called MoveOn "disgusting,"... came the donations. By midnight, over 12,000 people had donated $500,000—more than we've raised any day this year—for our new ad calling out the Republicans who blocked adequate rest for troops headed back to Iraq.

My donation is on the way.
