DEMOCRATS CAN'T HELP THEMSELVES
Yesterday morning, hundreds of lives-- maybe thousands -- were saved, many of them innocent American lives. It should be a time of great relief....of gratitude toward the British government for foiling the plot along with anybody else who contributed. Politics should be the last thing on anyone's mind. But not the leaders of the 2006 Democratic Party. Oh no.
Enter Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, intrepid leaders of the left side of the aisle in the Congress. They issued a statement: "Today's news is an urgent reminder that we must make America safer and the world more stable. We must implement the strong recommendations of the independent 9/11 Commission to improve airport security screening at checkpoints." Fine. Nothing wrong with that.
They could have left it at that. But oh no....they couldn't. Because you see, Democrats (except Joe Lieberman and Ed Koch) have an addiction. That addiction is called Bush-bashing. It has no known cure. They can't stop. So just as the next 9/11 is thwarted, the Democrats decided to take shots at our commander-in-chief. Harry Reid said "This latest plot demonstrates the need for the Bush administration and the Congress to change course in Iraq and ensure that we are taking all the steps necessary to protect Americans at home and across the world." Ahh yes...they can't let go.
So to sum it up, the foiled terrorist attacks yesterday happened because of George W. Bush, just like everything bad that happens everywhere. Blame it on the administration. Typical.
I suppose the appeasement party thinks that these attacks would not have happened if Saddam Hussein had still been in power.
. . .but would if we could; imagine where we would be; had the Left stood behind our 'war effort' rather than in front of it; had taken a stand for those Iraquis who are committed to Freedom rather than speaking in American voice for the evil tyrants who continue to threaten their existance while condemning their efforts to live free.
Past time for Repubs to call attention - with every Left-wing assignation and croccodile tear - their own role in facillitating our enemies; thus prolonging the ultimate success we are determined to acheive - and they are in turn; determined to prevent.
Remember, please that an important voting block only gets big three TV. That would be poor, urban blacks. Jane Hall noted the other day that those networks influence Dems.
The World Trade Center was first bombed in 1993, but the murderers' aim was off. Bill Clinton seethed with rage that someone was trying to upset his plan for gays in the military.
The MSM is just an extension of the DNC and they were so obvious about it yesterday. The story yesterday should have been about capturing the human scum and the great success of the Intelligence communities. Instead, we got questions and answers about how this would affect the elections in November. IDIOTS!!!
Blaming Bush for failures in the War on Terror is akin to blaming the stepfather who takes over the raising of a spoiled 16 year-old malcontent whose natural father ignored and excused all the warning signs. When the kid murders someone, the natural dad says, "Hell, he never killed anyone on my watch!"
Add to this running list of those who have come out supporting Lieberman.
Ed Koch (D) former NYC Mayor
Michael Bloomberg (R) current NYC Mayor
Chris Shays (R) Connecticut congressman
