The Wimps of War : ( Here's how bad things are for the Democrats.-- Sounds good to me! )

For the NYT's to print this... It must be bad times for the RATS

[Mike Darancette]

Get ready for it - The Libs are going to use the strategy of Blaming Bush for the current Palestinian problem. Never mind that when W first came into office there were the Israeli elections and after 9-11 we were busy.

whaaaaaaa...

[What Is Ain't]

The incoherence and indolence of the Bush "policy" in the Middle East, which kept General Zinni out of the region for three months of violent meltdown and ultimately rendered Dick Cheney a supplicant to Yasir Arafat, has been more forcefully dissected by conservatives like George Will than anyone in the administration's opposition. At home, the Democrats can't even offer a serious alternative to the Bush budget for the simple reason that they helped give away the store by abetting the administration's mammoth tax cut last summer and made no legislative push for even partial rollbacks after the fiscal world changed on Sept. 11.

The voice of the democratic party.

[friendly]

Democrats are connoissiurs of fine whine.

Tonights Crossfire on CNN, they were already saying this. That DNC HACK "Crumm" was claiming Bush neglected the middle east and that's what led to the rise in suicide bombings. They're scum, from McAuliffe on down

[SkyPilot]

If the Democrats stand for anything in a time of rapidly expanding war, it's not clear what it is.

Please, allow me:

1. Abortion of the innocent

2. Making Homosexuals feel good about what they do

3. Putting Money into the hands of Union Thugs

4. Bashing Christians

5. Worshipping the Earth (Gaia)

6. Polluting our schools

7. Race bating and racial prejudice

Did I miss anything?

Let them. Once their position is established, Bush need merely add the Palestinian Authority to the terror list. Then, despite various Eurotrash or UN backing, the Dems will be in an rather awkward positon. "You are either with us, or you are with the terrorists." Checkmate.

[Southack]

"Tonights Crossfire on CNN, they were already saying this. That DNC HACK "Crumm" was claiming Bush neglected the middle east and that's what led to the rise in suicide bombings..."

Not only is that a bad lie (the logic would have to be that if U.S. negotiators don't pay enough attention to Palestinians, then suicide bombers automatically blow up Israeli civilians), it demonstrates how out of touch the Democrats are becoming.

After all, since when would middle America ever blame an American President for the actions of Middle-Eastern fantatics? That sort of thing just won't play well to fly-over country, blue-collar America, veterans, or even anyone who ever paid the least bit of attention to world affairs.

Democrats are already losing unions because of their Enviro-Nazi mentality about drilling in the ANWR. Soon they'll be losing Jews over their ardent Big (D) support of Palestinians (if the Democrats follow Crumm's lead, anyway). Next they'll lose the Hispanic/Catholic support over their rigid abortion-uber-alles positions.

Poor Zell Miller and Charles Stenholm are probably going nuts about right now trying to get their party to stop going the way of the Greens and NOW (i.e., less than a million members). And that doesn't even touch the damage that Gray Davis is doing to their party out in California.

Heck, if it wasn't for a complicit media and an indoctrinated group of tenured university professors, the Democratic Party would have already imploded under its own self-contradictions...

"Senate Democrats are partisans who will put their interests ahead of national interests"

No truer words were spoken!

[swheats]

I have no problem with Dems questioning the President or his administration. But I find it troubling that Daschle would foregore private meetings with Ridge to get real information and request having public meetings so that those considered our enemy would have more access to sensitive info. And why not take advantage of the weekly meetings to discuss his concerns with the President? Instead of looking foolish saying on public TV that the President doesn't talk to him.

[Nogbad]

The latest events
in Israel
put George W. Bush
in a higher position
still.

Wait and see.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

Ellen Ratner's column at World Net Daily blasts the Dems also, but for different reasons. Their internal polling must be awful. Daschle is never going to grow a pair of cherries,it's not biologically possible. The Dems are the testosterone free party. Is there one Democrat that anyone can visualize in a combat situation??

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

I hope so!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Is there one Democrat that anyone can visualize in a combat situation??

Do they make uniforms small enough to fit Daschle?LOL!

[Erasmus]

Well, they made 'em small enough for Napoleon.

[Optimist]

— Hollywood's Oscar ceremony —

The immensely unfunny Whoopi attempted one slam by tying a scarf around "oscar"'s waist covering the pelvic area while making a reference to Ashcroft wanting her to do it. Not funnny (because, among other things, there isn't any truth in it) and she didn't get much of a laugh --even from the liberal ultra-left audience.

[185JHP]

Years ago Linda Bowles wrote a wonderful column titled "Why Liberals Can't Be Honest." They're supportive of so much that's evil, they get desperate when evil is successfully attacked - it violates their paradigm.
