Related: About this forumGOP Rep Doug Lamborn is urging generals to resign in a blaze of glory to oppose the president (VIDEO
Is attempting to undermine a president with his generals during a war treasonous in nature? GOP Rep Doug Lamborn is urging generals to resign in a blaze of glory to oppose the president. Is this not an unpatriotic act?

History shows differently.
As the Commander in Chief, President Bush will clearly make decisions based on the advice of his top advisors. Because I support our men and women in uniform and their Commanders, I fully expect to support the recommendations after careful review and consideration.
The primary role of Congress is to decide on the funding requests made by the President and the Commanders. Together, my fellow members of Congress and I, must debate these measures in an appropriate and timely manner.
Every American wants to bring our troops home, and we believe we must begin this process as soon as we are able to achieve our strategic objectives and strengthen regional security.

Hay fool like the saying goes.......
You don't go to war with the president you want, you go to war with the president you have.
My fellow Coloradoans, do a little research on this shill.
Lamborn is one of the House Republicans leading the effort against public funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and NPR (National Public Radio). "I have been seeking to push Big Bird out of the nest for over a year, based on the simple fact that we can no longer afford to spend taxpayer dollars on nonessential government programs. It's time for Big Bird to earn his wings and learn to fly on his own."
On August 24, 2007, Jonathan Bartha, who works for Focus on the Family (headquartered in Colorado Springs), and his wife Anna wrote a letter to the editor in a community newspaper expressing concerns about Lamborn's opposition to more restrictions on dog fighting. They were also concerned that he'd taken several campaign contributions from the gaming industry. A few days later, Lamborn left two voice mails threatening "consequences" if they didn't renounce their "blatantly false" letter. He also said that he would be "forced to take other steps" if the matter wasn't resolved "on a Scriptural level." The Barthas were shocked by the messages, and Anna Bartha called Lamborn's behavior "not anything we would ever anticipate an elected official would pursue."

Talk about low, he would even turn on the dreaded Focus on the Family if it interfered with his fighting dogs.
Plenty more, just look him up.
Not exactly something to be proud of.

We ran two great candidates against him in successive elections; they both blew him out of the water in debates. Didn't matter. The numbskulls and religious crazies that make up most of CD-5 voted for him anyway. He really is stupid. Period. This year there is another very good candidate running against him, but the deck is really stacked.
