Oppose the Vichy Republicans



Do the right thing, and sign NZ Bear and Hugh Hewitt's NRSC Pledge, and commit to withhold support for any GOP Senator who votes for any resolution criticizing President Bush's commitment to winning in Iraq.
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.

In the past, such feckless actions would earn said GOP members the label "RINO", as in "Republican in Name Only". However, given the current wartime circumstances, I think that they would be better referred to as "Vichy Republicans"
