Here is an interesting quote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>As much as I despise what this president has done to the country, my job is to find a way to end the war in Iraq, which I voted against. We should do nothing whatsoever to hinder our effort to end the war. Grandstanding that prevents us from growing a coalition against the war is a luxury we cannot afford. We don&#8217;t have the votes to remove Bush from office. Bush is leaving office. We need to make sure our troops are leaving Iraq.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>All this activity will lead to naught.  The troops will remain until Bush leaves office, whether they remain after that depends on who we vote in.(<a href=\"http:\/\/hotair.com\/archives\/2007\/02\/26\/video-peace-creeps-beg-cops-to-arrest-patty-murray-for-war-crimes\/\">via<\/a>)<\/p>\n<div class=\"tag_list\">Tags: <span class=\"tags\"><a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Patty+Murray\" rel=\"tag\">Patty Murray<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/video\" rel=\"tag\">video<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/anti-war\" rel=\"tag\">anti-war<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wow!
