STAY AND PAY IS THE REPUBLICAN WAY

The Republican Party's solution for Iraq is stay and pay. What does that mean?

If we stay in Iraq, our sons and daughters will pay with their lives.
If we stay in Iraq, our country will continue to pay out large sums of money (over $290,000,000,000 so far).

The Republicans want to Stay and Pay. Stay and Pay is the Republican Way.

Unfortunately, the chickenhawks of the Republican Party have no experience in war. They are willing to say you are guilty of treason if you question the reason for this war. Karl Rove, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Rick Santorum, and the rest, never went to war. They've never had to make snap decisions on the battlefield. They've never seen a friend killed in front of their eyes. They've never had to worry if they'd see their family again. They've never lost sleep because of what they've seen in war. No--they've never been to war, but they are willing to send you and your kids to war. And when you return from war, they'll cut your benefits and make you pay for your own food if you land in a military hospital.

The Republican plan of stay and pay is wrong. It is time to get to work on bringing our troops home. If the Republicans won't do it, then vote them out of office.
