Support Victory
17.2.07

It began with Hugh Hewitt and NZ Bear (The Truth Laid Bear) and the NRSC Pledge:
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.
Then they asked pledge signers (I was one, but I was remiss in not blogging it) to contact Senators to ask them to refuse to vote for cloture on the amendment. I did that as well, and we prevailed.

Shortly before the House took up their own mixed-message, trying-to-have-it-both-ways, political-cover resolution, They and others, such as Matthew Burden (BlackFive), Ed Morrisey (Captain's Quarters), and Austin Bay, formed the Victory Caucus.

If you follow down in the right-hand sidebar, you'll find a button to the Victory Caucus in the Blog Stuff section. I've registered, I support the Caucus' goals and you should too.


You may ask, "Why, the House already established their lack of principle by passing their resolution." NZ Bear has already answered that question, far more eloquently than I can do.

So the House vote is over , and the Democrats have had their day and their defeatist, non-binding resolution. So what do we do now?

We begin organizing in earnest to ensure that in November 2008, voters will have a slate of strong candidates who believe in Victory.

This will be a long and serious effort, but it starts now. We have established a team within the site that will focus on identifying strong candidates -- veterans, ideally --- as well as teams devoted to identifying White Flag Republicans and their antimatter opposites, the Blue Dog Democrats. These three groups will be at the forefront of our efforts to identify the districts where we can do the most good: whether that is to replace a defeatist Democrat with a new Republican victory candidate --- or to help a Blue Dog Democrat who is strong on the war take down a White Flag Republican. Here, party comes second: victory --- and country --- come first.

(Emphasis mine.) I borrowed that bit for my link button.

So, come on, Support the Troops the only way that really matters: Support Victory.
