Perhaps the many miles and long hours over the past few days have taken there toll. After watching the news, listening to John Conyers, Patrick Leahy, Dick Durbin and Diane Feinstein, I felt the urge to bang my head against the wall. Then, out of the blue, comes the voice of Chucky Shummer, and suddenly I understand why some people commit suicide, while others head for the nearest bell tower with their cache of automatic weapons.
Since adjusting the minimum wage, I wonder just what has been accomplished by this Democrat Congress. To be sure, the Republicans have done an admirable job of outmaneuvering them in many instances, but they seem content to investigate and condemn, while achieving nothing of value. As long as they have ample opportunity to try and bitch slap the President, they appear to care little for anything else.
At this point, even if we suffer another horrific terrorist attack this summer, I'm afraid that the only thing the Democrat's will do is blame the attack on the fact that we're in Iraq. They will do so because their base would believe it without question, and because they believe the vast majority of Americans are either too ignorant to know better, or too ambivalent to care. They will be absolutely incorrect, but since political advantage is their primary concern, being accurate and honest is not a prerequisite. That last sentence also applies to many Republicans as well. I can understand the diaphanous treachery of Democrats for political advantage, but I have a hard time understanding the Republicans who's knees have buckled.
Anyone who suggests that the surge has already failed is either a liberal partisan, or someone who has motives other than the ones they would have us believe.
If the Dems haven't managed to screw things up by the middle of September and General Pratraeus is allowed to give his report, I'll bet a dollar to a hole in a donut that they'll reject the report out of hand, regardless of the facts on the ground. If you don't believe that, you don't know a real politician. I'd bet a lot more, but anyone who still supports the war wouldn't take the bet, and of the remainder, some wouldn't pay off at all, while those that did would probably have a fine print stipulation that assures the money is used buy carbon credits instead of fertilizing my bank account.
If global warming means San Francisco disappears beneath the waves, how can anyone be against that?
