This is my concern with the Democrats in Washington, they have totally separate agendas than America, their agenda doesn’t even jive with what Democrats (the voters) want.
The best candidate we had for 2004 was Howard Dean. But throw in some good old fashioned media bias, Dems buckled like ramen noodles in hot water and picked the safe candidate in the Iowa caucuses and we got John Kerry instead.
In 2006, we put Dems in control of BOTH sides of Congress and placed Harry Reid and made Nancy Pelosi the first woman Speaker of the House and so far, we have gotten some investigations out of them and a whole lot of hand-wringing and capitulation. Yes, if they sent up another Iraq Funding Bill with Deadlines, Bush would have vetoed it. So what? That was the CORRECT and MORALE thing to do! Instead, they just wanted to have a bill Bush would say “yes” to and that is exactly what we got – a bill all but written by Bush and passed my the Democratic Congress.
So who is now the front runner for the Democratic nomination in 2008? Hillary Clinton, the one single choice that will bring out the GOP to the polls just to vote against her. Yes, Blue Staters love here, but Red Staters hate her more and the hate will win out.
Remember, if you want out of Iraq, the Dems in Congress will not help you. Just get used to disappointment.
