McDermott: Fight a war with no end, or invest in the American people? (Full)

Sorry Jim. Not buying it. You will cave and give Obama your vote to cut social security. You've done it before after pledging that you wouldn't.

It'll have to be our own Tahrir Square, not electoral musical chairs that saves America.

Thank you Jim McDermott. None of the wars since at least WW2 have been self defense. The US has killed millions of people in Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq who never attacked America. So why are we doing this?  For business. For industry. For shame.

Representave McDermot, I aggree with you but This monstrose bill funding the war was passed by a strong across the aisle support. MY damn representative, Lloyd Doggett voted for it. The Democrats have joined the Republicans as the war party. You are all one and the same. It is all a dance of smoke and mirrors.

Thanks for the "lip service", Big Jim.

Now let's see u put your money where your mouth is. Join Dennis Kucinich in his impeachment process. Use 10 Amendment to pull WA St National Guard out of Afghanistan. U talk big, but u play the partisanship game & the people R finally seeing through the Matrix. Our Democrat President has us involved in twice as many interventionist warmongering than GW. Stop feeding us soup, buddy.

Thank you Senator McDermott. It's nice to hear someone addressing the will of the majority of Americans who feel their voices have been drowned out by the vocal minority.
