UPDATED Turncoat Republicans Rancid Stench is Spreading

I find nothing whatsoever to disagree with in Hugh Hewitt's take on Senators Warner, Snowe, Hagel, et. al., who--rather than risk any personal political capital--instead are conspiring to send a strong message of encouragement and emboldenment to the jihadists who are slaughtering innocents and American servicemen and woment: i.e. "America will not stand by its friends and all you have to do is wait us out... so just keep blowing up our sons and daughters and we will eventually leave..."

Dispicible is to weak a word to describe these backstabbers. Call the Senate switchboard and let them have it. The Senate Switchboard number is: 202-225-3121.

UPDATE: Hewitt is now suggesting we "take the pledge". I am taking it and I am writing now, per the instructions below:

If the United States Senate passes a resolution, non-binding or otherwise, that criticizes the commitment of additional troops to Iraq that General Petraeus has asked for and that the president has pledged, and if the Senate does so after the testimony of General Petraeus on January 23 that such a resolution will be an encouragement to the enemy, I will not contribute to any Republican senator who voted for the resolution. Further, if any Republican senator who votes for such a resolution is a candidate for re-election in 2008, I will not contribute to the National Republican Senatorial Committee unless the Chairman of that Committee, Senator Ensign, commits in writing that none of the funds of the NRSC will go to support the re-election of any senator supporting the non-binding resolution.

Take the pledge, and tell the NRSC:

NRSC
Ronald Reagan Republican Center
425 2nd Street, NE
Washington, DC 20002
202.675.6000
webmaster@gopsenators.com

Then e-mail Senator McConnell and Senator Ensign, and tell them too. Senator McConnell's phone number is (202) 224-2541. Senator Ensign's phone number is (202) 224-6244.
