The Democratic Party is a bunch of Chicken Doves

Loading

Yep, the left is finally realizing that the anti-war movement is nothing more than a catalyst for anti-Bush activism. People are waking up (years too late, but hangovers are hard to wake up from).

“At long last, the Democratic leaders of Congress have publicly surrendered on the Iraq War, just one year after being swept into power with a firm mandate to end it.”

In the late summer/fall of 2006 when the Democratic Party was trying to take the House of Representatives based largely on the promise that they had a plan for a “New Direction in Iraq,” I questioned it. I doubted it. I found no plan. The only plans for post-war Iraq that I found were a few token 1-2 page brainstorm ideas from a handful of Democratic senators, and the Bush Plans. There was the Bush plan from 2003, the 2004-2005 Bush plan, the updated to 2006 version, and later there’d be the 2007 plan (the Surge). The Democrats had no plan for a New Direction in Iraq. I was lambasted by the left for suggesting that only fools would blindly vote for politicians based on the idea that they might have a plan.

On election night, Howard Dean-the DNC Chairman-admitted to Chris Matthews live on MSNBC that there never was a plan. There was never even a brainstorm committee for an idea on a plan. Why? Because they didn’t want to accept the responsibility for defeat. It’s that pure and simple. If they’d have demanded defeat, and that demand was successful, then they’d own the defeat.

Well, it looks like the left is finally waking up. Thank you Rolling Stone magazine. The Democratic Party is a bunch of Chicken Doves.

“Working behind the scenes, the Democrats have systematically taken over the anti-war movement, [emphasis added-sm]packing the nation’s leading group with party consultants more interested in attacking the GOP than ending the war. “Our focus is on the Republicans,” one Democratic apparatchik in charge of the anti-war coalition declared. “How can we juice up attacks on them?”

Now, I wonder if these writers/music critics will have the courage to perform an introspective look into how they parroted the Democrats’ lies, or if they’ll at least have the nerve to question the lies presented to them from the left in the present and future. In the past, they’ve never had a problem or missed a heartbeat in challenging, doubting, questioning, or even deliberately misleading people about what President Bush and his administration have said and done about the war in Iraq. Yet, they’ve almost never dared question the accountability and/or responsibility of those Democrats who promoted, authorized, funded, supported, and called for more troops in the war. Nope. Those people have a D next to their name, so they got a free pass; no fact-checking, no effort to balance the power, no fairness, nuthin.

So it is, that we come to ask…how did Democrats get elected on promises they so obviously never even planned or brainstormed on meeting? How did Democrats get away with misleading so many? How did they come to use the anti-war movement as Rolling Stone points out? When will people who vote for Democrats hold them accountable for their lies, their misleading, and their deliberate division of America?

“The story of how the Democrats finally betrayed the voters who handed them both houses of Congress a year ago is a depressing preview of what’s to come if they win the White House. And if we don’t pay attention to this sorry tale now, while there’s still time to change our minds about whom to nominate, we might be stuck with this same bunch of spineless creeps for four more years. With no one but ourselves to blame.”

Not trying to start an argument, but what you saying is that anyone who opposed or opposes the war is a leftist? There are many republicans who dislike the war as well. Also, are you saying the war was never going poorly? It was never strategized wrong? If you would like to say the war is going better now I will agree, but I think it is ridiculous to say anyone who opposes the war is a liberal.

“Solidifying his reputation as one of the biggest pussies in U.S. political history, Reid”

Love it!…..

Fortunately for the Democrats they don’t have to be great to be elected.
They only have to be better than Republicans.

Good thing not one of the Democrats are better then….

Well John, then with that logic, the Dems should be defeated in Presidential and congressional elections until a new crop of Dems comes up around 2016.

Or does Intrade have bets that far out already?

but I think it is ridiculous to say anyone who opposes the war is a liberal.

It’s a good thing that’s not what Scott was saying then, isn’t it?

Scott,

Now you expect them to not only actually read and comprehend it, but to know it was a leftist who wrote it? Man, you are a mean one….

The “interesting” part of reading the Rolling Stone articles are the comments left by the leftists. Such “happy”, “tolerant” people…

Yep, must be a plant… 😉

Except, like the article from the very far leftist who was ashamed of being liberal who wrote an article for Rolling Stone a few months ago. The comments from the VERY intolerant leftists were, not surprisingly, full of hate, venom, and “we are doing all we can to forcefully silence conservatives, give us a break”.

They just did not get the author’s point…. Instead they vindicate it.
