It's full of cuts and runs ...

Karl, the uniform doesn't fit you. It's full of cuts and runs.

Karl Rove pretended the courage of a veteran when he made his cowardly declaration about courageous soldiers who fight as opposed to cowardly non-soldiers who "cut and run".

This from a well-known non-veteran - someone who avoided service; who himself cut and ran during Viet Nam. These antics from prominent Republicans hang around the party's candidates' necks like gaudy ties and we fail if we don't ask them if they agree with and support these chicken hawk declarations from the likes of Rove and Cheney.

All Republicans should be challenged to clarify publicly whether or not they agree with and support the self-serving cowardice of Rove, Cheney and Bush who have no credibility as warriors and embarrass every American solider and veteran when they make public speeches and pretending courage with a tough-talk uniform.

"Cut and run" nowadays dribbles from from slobbering jowls like ketchup and mustard at a Republican barbeque.

Based on Republican usage and definition, the following are logical conclusions of what it means to cut and run:

Failure to support the troops and the willful act of cutting funds to the VA is a case of cut and run.

Hiding caskets returning home from the occupation of Iraq and sneaking them into the country in the middle of the night is a case of cut and run.

Refusal to meet with a grieving mother last summer was case of cut and run.

Refusal to find and fire leakers is a case of cut and run.

Refusal to take responsibility for failure in the wake of Katrina is a case of cut and run.

Refusal to effect a thorough rebuilding of Louisiana and Mississippi is a case of cut and run.

The Medicare D program with it's betrayal of citizens to cater to corporations is a case of cut and run.

Millions of children who have been left behind is a case of cut and run.

Cowering before Right Wing Christian blowhards and making public declarations in support of legislation against gay marriage and gay rights is a case of cut and run.

Cowering before Right Wing Christian blowhards in appointing judges too far of the course they ought to stay on is a case of cut and run.

Shall I continue?
