The left has been in a constant state of anxiety recently over their perceived notion that Bush is planning on permanent bases in Iraq.

The White House, responding to what it considers rumors being spread by MoveOn.org…, liberal blogs such as DailyKos.com… and Democratic lawmakers, this week tried to persuade key lawmakers that President Bush is not attempting to bind his successor to a long-term military presence in Iraq.

Senior White House officials have briefed Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Massachusetts Democrat, and other congressional lawmakers about their negotiations with the Iraqi government and will continue to meet with other legislators next week.

“The argument that we seek permanent bases is a constant red herring of MoveOn.org… and other interest groups who want us to retreat from Iraq, with no regard for our national security interests or the fate of the Iraqi people,” White House press secretary Dana Perino said.

The Sorry Democrats

Posted by: Curt @ 9:14 am in Politics

The Daily KOS has come up with a plan to give Michigan to Mitt Romney, which would keep him alive in the race, by telling Michigan Democrats to vote for Mitt:

With a history of meddling in our primaries, why don’t we try and return the favor. Next Tuesday, January 15th, Michigan will hold its primary. Michigan Democrats should vote for Mitt Romney, because if Mitt wins, Democrats win. How so?

For Michigan Democrats, the Democratic primary is meaningless since the DNC stripped the state of all its delegates (at least temporarily) for violating party rules. Hillary Clinton is alone on the ballot.

But on the GOP side, this primary will be fiercely contested. John McCain is currently enjoying the afterglow of media love since his New Hamsphire victory, while Iowa winner Mike Huckabee is poised to do well in South Carolina.

Meanwhile, poor Mitt Romney, who’s suffered back-to-back losses in the last week, desperately needs to win Michigan in order to keep his campaign afloat. Bottom line, if Romney loses Michigan, he’s out. If he wins, he stays in.

And we want Romney in, because the more Republican candidates we have fighting it out, trashing each other with negative ads and spending tons of money, the better it is for us. We want Mitt to stay in the race, and to do that, we need him to win in Michigan.

The jackass is actually right tho. If Mitt does win Democrats will be in the White House in 2009.

But whats sad is that he is even coming up with this plan. Instead of letting Democracy play itself out he wants to ensure a Democrat victory by cheating. Republicans crossed over in 1972 but it didn’t effect the outcome. Wallace would have won anyways.

That is NOT the case here.

What a sorry state the Democrat party is in.

But, if history is any judge, Democrat schemes usually turn out biting them in the ass. Hopefully this is the case here.
