My second WorldNetDaily column of the week can be read here. The disarray of the Democrats was too great a subject not to write on in a timely fashion, but even the piece was overtaken by events. By the time it had appeared, Barbra Streisand had dispatched instructions to Gephardt and the federal court had released a prosecutors' letter concerning Torricelli pal David Chang, (Read the New York Times' account of the Chang letter by Golden and Kocieniewski.) The Democratic Party is now in the ditch. Efforts to pull them out will have to wait until next week, but the stubborn insistence of taking care of unions before it takes care of the national security will haunt the Party through the elections and beyond.
As will silly "chickenhawk" comments by would-be Congressmen. The Dems have nominated Mike Feeley to take on Bob Beauprez in the open 7th District in Colorado. Feeley took Daschle's cue at a debate on Wednesday night and demanded a Presidential apology. If an apology wasn't forthcoming, Feeley threatened to name every Republican "chickenhawk" who was running for office who had never "worn the uniform of the United States" but who wanted to send other people's children to war. This bullying and blustering has blown back on Feeley who won't give any interviews. (You can send him an e-mail viat www.feeley2002.com and you can send Beauprez a check via www.beauprezforcongress.com.) Feeley must have thought Daschle knew what he was doing, and Daschle must have thought Gore knew what he was doing, but no Democrat appears to know what to do, which is vote for the resolution authorizing force and vote for a Homeland Security Department which isn't hobbled by union perks.
What you should do is contribute to Norm Coleman at www.colemanforsenate.com as Wellstone is the surest vote against the war with Iraq...
