Yes. They have to have poll numbers saying this is what the American people want.
I've always thought that the minute Dems realize that they could win by appearing united FOR our country rather than the usual blame America first stuff, it would be then that they could win. I hope they don't go too far w/this!
Actually, they have internal polls that are showing that Americans cannot believe that ANY politician, right or left, has not come to the defense of the USA and President Bush.
The Dims are now trying to take advantage of the vacuum left where Republicans should have been. The Dims do not mean what they are saying, do not believe what they are saying. They are trying to gain political points by getting our in front of the silent Republicans....and it might just work on the peeples.
Top House Democrat Charles Rangel complained on Monday that the Bush administration's decision to concoct a "fraudulent" war in Iraq was as bad as "the Holocaust." "It's the biggest fraud ever committed on the people of this country," Rangel told WWRL Radio's Steve Malzberg and Karen Hunter. "This is just as bad as six million Jews being killed. The whole world knew it and they were quiet about it, because it wasn't their ox that was being gored."
The Harlem Democrat charged that top Bush officials "made up [their] mind to go into Iraq long before 9/11. And every one of the players who made this decision - they were part of this plan to do it. From Rumsfeld to Cheney, Wolfowitz, Bolton, every one of them - Perle - [they were part of the] plan to put our kids in harm's way long before 9/11."
Rangel is only saying this because he knows the PR hit he and his fellow leftists are taking. A dictator that has legislated his now untouchable power standing in front of an audience that applauds/laughs at his cheap shots at our President (and thus our country) that remind one of the similar/outrageous statements by the Dems and lefties themselves, endorses a book by the idol of far-leftists all over the world, and is best buds with Sheehan, Glover and Belafonte. And he does it all on our soil without being arrested or executed as his country, under similar circumstances, would surely do.
Pardon me but anyone here that believes this is a true reflection of Rangel's feelings is a fool.
Rangel has become so arrogant he believes his threat to quit Congress if the Dems lose is going to be a catalyst for change nationwide. Please!
