CA Democratic Party: End the Occupation in Afghanistan
The California Democratic Party just sent a loud message to President Obama, who is pondering the next U.S. move in Afghanistan: Get out.
The state's Dems have gone on record with a Get Out message before -- like at their confab last summer. But this one is more specific. And bolder. Marin County activist and media critic Norman Solomon passes on that the CDP's 300-member statewide exec boardpassed a resolution Sunday called: "End the U.S. Occupation and Air War in Afghanistan." You can find the resolution here.
Update: CA Dem Party czar John Burton just called to weigh in on this. He says Obama has two choices now: Go all in and give Gen. Stanley McChrystal what he wants or begin a pullout.
The politics of it, according to Burton: If Obama proposes something less than what McChyrstal wants and the mission goes sideways, "The Republicans will pound him for it."
"It's not going to work over there," Burton told us. "You've got a corrupt govenment. The guy put together a ticket of drug lords and war lords."
Plus, Burton said he "doesn't have a lot of confidence" in McChyrstal after the general's role in the misclassifcation of Pat Tillman's death.

CA DEM Party - quit occupying the USA.

California is now bankrupt. It is in a malaise because of liberal economic policies. The Democratic Party of California should focus all their efforts in working to remedy this dire situation. They should not digress from that reality by talking about federal issues like war and peace. They should focus parimarily on the issues of their respected state.

Our troops deserve our support - and some decisive leadership in Washington... no more political hop-scotch - get a plan and show some courage, damn-it!

Now I wonder why fight there at all. The enemy is here and we need them home to help get rid of our enemy on our own soil.

I ask that the democratic party of Kalifornia end it's failed occupation of our state, They are the reason the state is broke, and a trash pit with a corrupt democratic sentate and assembly..I don't have a lot of faith in John Burton who is from Beruit by the Bay and is a large part of the reason Kalifornia is such a mess...John take you show on the road destroy another state....Stop worrying about world affairs which you have no experience dealing with and take care of Kalifornia.If thats too much for your feeble mind, move to Berkely and start your own freekin country.
-WE THE PEOPLE-
I say pull the troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan and let the cards fall where they may. Obama will reap what he sows...but the crop ain't gonna be pretty.
