Never forget it - The left wingers who run the Democrat party NEVER set aside their political agenda. That left wing political agenda to them is their religion, it is their way of life, it is what they think their existence is all about. That's how the far left thinks and operates. At times it is laughable, at other times, including recently, it is downright REPULSIVE.
Consider Hillary Clinton's behavior during Bush's speech. It didn't take much for anybody who watched to figure out that Hillary was not concerned about a tragedy that occurred in the state she supposedly represents - she was concerned about one thing and one thing alone that night: her 2004 presidential bid going out the window. She was concerned about it because that presidential bid was her way of advancing the left wing agenda to a new level, and that agenda to her comes above all else. It is her religion, it is her livlihood. And naturally when she sees that religion of left wing wackoism embarassed, humiliated, and, most significantly, thrown off the front page. The left's radical agenda was truly thrown off the front by a republican president's efforts to unite the country by turning to patriotism, liberty, and faith in God in the wake of a national tragedy of far greater magnitude than anything the left can offer.
I dare say the left wing is jealous that the bilge agenda they place above all else is no longer given any credibility. That is why they role their eyes in speeches. That is why they are throwing every smear, whine, and vitriolic attack in their book at Bush right now. They are jealous that they are no longer in the attention of the public. They are jealous that their agenda has been displaced by a real tragedy of genuine concern. The Democrats of the far left are not concerned or enraged or impacted by the tragedy earlier this month - they are simply jealous of it.
No word yet on freeDem.com, the official message board of the DNC, but I can bet they are spewing the same bilge as their partner Democrats.com.
I didn't know we could get paid for hating the Clintons. I have been doing it for free all of these years.
Who do I see about my back pay?

This article confirms what I had been thinking...9/11/2001 threw them way off course.
BUILD A MOVEMENT; A COALITION; SPIT IN THE LETTUCE-- our compassionate friends spread it around back in the 70's that everyone was going to be urged to spit in the lettuce in the dining hall --in order to discourage consumption of iceberg lettuce by all those students who had not yet been convinced by their pamplets and slogans to support the labor struggles of lettuce pickers in their latest move to unionize. POWER to THE PEOPLE.
I do think it poignant that a lot of formerly young lefties are now able to see that now that our homeland has been attacked, our military is something they might like to have -- and even be proud of. Novel feelings have been dawing in many no longer young and quite so foolish hearts.
BTW, look at the transformation in Tom Friedman of the NYT......He said on TV today to a mealy mouthed question about whether the moderate Arab state would be bothered about xyz: Tough! . Talk about doses of reality concentrating the mind. I can even read him now
Yeah, right. A rigorous investigation was promised 9+ months ago that would get to the bottom of how exactly GW "cheated". These same people have remained dead silent since mid-March.
Now they suddenly have something but they can't release it because of the terrorist attacks? What might that be? There's plenty of Bush-bashing going on in spite of the terrorist attacks and I don't believe that it would stop democrats.com one bit. So if they have something, let's hear it. I need a good laugh.
That's very true. What a sick bunch of people!
Talk about bilge....
We Democrats aren't jealous. Who would want such a terrible tragedy to befall our country under any circumstances?
We Democrats will refrain from publicly bashing Bush for a while. We'll even give some measure of support for the good of the country. But please don't think we'll ever endorse him. We still consider him a fraud and no act of terrorism, no matter how horrific, is going to change that.
The debt hasn't been cancelled - we're just not going to charge interest for a while.
during Bush's address to Congress:
'Darn it, now we can't bash the free society for a bit...'
They're vile egalitarian creeps...
You guys would. I read articles about how it is really too bad that these attacks didn't happen during the Clinton administration so that he would have had this great opportunity to show his leadership. Instead, GW was the lucky guy to have this happen during his administration.
The real victims were not the people who crashed in the planes. The victims were not the ones who died in the Pentagon or the World Trade Center. They are not in the hospitals across New York and Wasshington preparing themselves for years of therapy and pain.
The real victims of the terrorists are the people who were stopped by these tragedies from bashing George Bush. Within minutes, their hopes and dreams of trashing the president went up in smoke. Let's make sure we remember these TRUE victims in our prayers.
You haven't even slowed down yet.
You Demos claim to be all full of peace and love, yet you are totally indifferent to the deaths of 7000 people. Your answer to this crisis is that we should all sit on our hands and do nothing. Your biggest gripe about the terrorist attacks is how it caused Americans to be more patriotic, which negatively affects your political agenda.
If you are honest, you know that there is a segment of the committed left who is exactly "jealous"-as was portrayed in the post. The carping agianst Bush an dwhining about the election was just a rude device. It is given up because the left realizes that people won't stand for that nonesense in wartime.
Witness what happened to Rep. Meehan in Boston when he [consitent with the Democrat party playbook prior to 9-11-01, charged that Bush was hiding out and was cowardly for not coming to DC immediately.
This event was like a hard rain. It washed away a lot of BS. When they try to ressurrect it again, they [and I suppose, you] will be sadly sorry. How do you think cries of the "Lock-Box" would ring America's ears about now???
