I'll try this old trick I learned from Bush on CFR, the prescription drug entitlement, bloating Dept of Education, pandering to illegal aliens, passing budgets in the trillions, etc.:
This strategy employed by Congress will allow us to maintain a majority in the House and Senate. It's a necessary action to maintain control from the Dems. Afterall, do you want Harry Reid, Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Chucky Shumer, and Nancy Pelosi in charge? The perception taken from this battle tells the country the GOP is still on the job securing America and are not Bush's rubber stamp on foreign policies. It also tells the world we haven't forgotten 9-11, or the memories of those that died that day and in the days ahead fighting the Taliban (who were supported by the UAE).
Our historic allies will remain. Our new allies will remain the same, with the same biases. And since the US is the single greatest market for goods and services, the UAE would be committing economic suicide by pushing their rant. Everything will subside in months and people will forget.
We may have averted a political collapse next November. But seeing that most of the Bushbots are saying on other threads that they will not vote...we may have averted a political collapse next November. Protest votes from a small minority of the base is like shooting rubber bands at battleships.
Let's move on. Make tax cuts permanent. Start planning for the next battle with the leftists. And if needs be, start mapping out the Dem's hypocrisy on national defense and letting the ChiComs control port terminals. Let's bring up Lorel in Hillary's campaign. Let's win in November to continue our promise in the Contract With America.
