What a remarkable reversal of political fortunes this represents. Democrats now find themselves between Iraq and a hard place.
I've noticed the DUmmies haven't been that happy lately. Not since their high point of Hurricane Katrina. Must be the low gas prices.
There is a substantial penalty for early withdrawal........
I think this is just the beginning. There is a lag effect with public opnion and polls. Even CNN is running the occasional "good news from Iraq" story now.
Pelosi has made a huge error jumping on the "Murthans for Defeat" bandwagon. She did it to shore up the base, but she will look stupid after the December 15 election. Come to think of it, she always looks stupid, but that's another matter...
C. Rice #44--Mrs. Clinton has to be a little tense...hehehe
Well, the President remains steadfast. Some Republicans remain steadfast. WE remain staedfast. So, add these factors together, and the rest that may be weak kneed are kept in line. Especially when we give them hell over things like the Warner resolution. The biggest blessing the Republican Party has is a unified base that is pro-America and keeps them in line on this issue and a President that will not buckle. If left to thir own devices they'd capitulate as folks did in 'nam to the peaceniks.
The Dem party, however, is beholden to the peaceniks. Their fault, they made the little monsters. Some were even apart of them in their youth. They are split because their base is split. A little over half anti-American peaceniks. The little under half are the remnants of it's FDR/Kennedy/Scoop Jackson days. Nancy can vote to withdraw in san Fran. red state/district Dems cannot do so with impunity and even swing districts come in play, especially military heavy districts.
I love saying I "Told ya so" to the Dems.
This is our issue, we're right on this issue, and all we have to do is fight back and we win. They cannot defeat this President. Only this President and WE, his base, have that power.
Even with the MSM campaigning against our country 24/7/365 the truth is still a very difficult obstacle to overcome.
GO "W" GO!!
Sock it to 'em!!!
The democRATS are in total disarray. They are imploding and exploding. Grab a beer and some popcorn and enjoy the show!!
