I hope those who dismissed the consequences of a Democratic takeover in Congress last November are beginning to see the error of their ways. With each passing day the Democratic leadership is becoming more extreme and urgent in undermining America's cause in Iraq.
President Bush's 21,000-troop surge is well underway, and its accompanying strategy to secure Baghdad proceeds apace. Now, more than ever, our troops need our moral and spiritual support. Now, more than ever, Democrats -- and a disturbing number of Republicans -- are withdrawing it. Their actions are unconscionable.
Two weeks ago, we saw their failed resolution denouncing the build-up of American troops in Iraq. Over the weekend, they tried again, unsuccessfully.
On Friday, the House passed such a resolution by a comfortable vote of 246-182. But when Senate Republicans succeeded in blocking the resolution in the Senate, Democrats threw a tantrum, saying Republicans were stifling debate.

I agree with you -- the stupid moderates who follow the media line were the main factor, in Election Day terms, in our loss of Congress. However, there was probably a secondary impact from right-wing perfectionists. My point isn't that these jerks were the main factor, but that many of them don't care about the consequences of their non-votes. I would add, however, that such people exist on our side in every election. Probably a bit more so last year.

Excellent. Please share with others too!
Candidates can't attack them, but FReepers can. We have every right to try and talk sense into them, and sometimes talking sense into people is facilitated by making them feel ashamed and unpopular.
Sigh. When will you people get off this?
I keep hearing this mantra and I'm not buying it.
Uh, yeah. Right. But you forgot the /sarcasm tag.
Oh, no. I was quite serious.
