Once was the time that America had two political parties that desired to see America thrive and succeed. They disagreed on just how to go about it, but ultimately, they both would come together in times of crisis, or war, to ensure American Forces won the battles and the keep the fires of liberty burning throughout the globe.
Ever since the Viet Nam Conflict, it seems that one party, the Democrats, have decided that America is too wealthy and too powerful, so must be cut down a notch or two. They not only push to abandon our sovereignty to the United Nations, under the leadership of delegates from third world countries who agree America is too powerful, but like our wealth to pay for their uses, but now Democrats can’t even get behind our Troops as they fight to bring freedom to the Iraqi and Afghani people in the ongoing War on Terror.
Their willing accomplices in the media have only recently begun to mention several of the successes our Troops have attained, mainly in the back pages of their papers. In what seems like reluctant reporting, they have mentioned thousands of families returning to Baghdad, deaths of the citizens and our Troops at an all time low, since the beginning of this war, Iraqi Sheiks turning on their Al Qaeda operatives and aligning themselves with American Forces and even a new fatwa issued by Iraqi clerics against violence.
There is even a rumor floating that Osama Bin Laden is under cave arrest by Zawahiri, wherever they may be holed up.
In terms of war, it can be said that while it isn’t over by a long shot, it is looking up and the goals set out are being achieved. Democrats set many of those goals so one would think they were elated at the news from Iraq. Nothing could be further from the truth.
After declaring the war lost, Senator Harry Reid (D. Nv) continues to play politics with our Troops lives by demanding yet another withdrawal time table telling our and the Iraqi peoples enemies on just what day we stop opposing them. Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi (D. Ca) is said to have made a similar demand recently as well.
California Reps. Lynn Woolsey, Barbara Lee and Maxine Waters, representing a liberal anti-war caucus, last week expressed opposition to the measure as they feel it is too soft and does not demand an end to combat.
All claim that if President Bush vetoes this bill, he doesn’t care about the Troops, when the exact opposite is true. It is they who don’t care about the Troops or invalidating the voluntary sacrifice of well over 3600 American lives to help both nations build their own free societies.
Abandoning the fight also leaves us open to another terrorist attack, as we would no longer have them engaged there, leaving them free to enter our country and do it again. Masking their displeasure with how well it has been going these last few weeks, as Bush’s “Troop Reinforcement” plan seems to be working under the leadership of General Petraeus, Democrats also complain about the cost of fighting it.
Tax increases are proposed, but not for fighting the war. Presidential candidates, Hillary Clinton (D. NY), Barack Obama (D. Ill), and John Edwards (D. NC) all are proposing massive entitlement programs to be funded by “taxing the wealthy.” Edwards seems to actually propose cutting defense funding, including upgrades and modernization to our Armed Forces, while we are at war! From his own words in the above video message, it seems he would have the Pentagon beg for every dollar needed to defend America.
Failed presidential candidate, John ‘F’in Kerry (D. Ma), feeling somewhat left out, is in Dubai today once again proposing “dialogue” with surrounding nations to “solve” the situation in Iraq. Says Kerry, "While the Iraqi government squabbles along sectarian lines and refuses to address the issues, American troops are caught in the crossfire of a deadly civil war that we are powerless to stop.”
Perhaps he should sign on with a different news source as many improvements have been made.
It would appear that the Democrats only goal now to cause defeat at any cost. Why a victory for America is so abhorrent to them escapes me. I recall when the Democrat party wanted America to win our wars.
In a total departure from what I was taught in American History, I received an email from Senator Patty Murray (D. Wa), one of my Senators, explaining her reason for voting against the nomination of Judge Michael Mukasey to head the Department of Justice as Attorney General. Her reason, "America needs an Attorney General whose independence is without question.”
Independence, Senator Murray? Does she not realize that Attorney General is a member of the President’s Cabinet, regardless of who occupies the office? Or, is she proposing another branch of the government to give Democrats more control when Republicans are in the White House? At any rate, any 8th grader should realize that Attorney General is a cabinet position. What President desires cabinet members who won’t cooperate with their program?
Senator Clinton can’t seem to make up her mind on illegals obtaining drivers licenses.
Senator Obama’s wife now seems prepared to drag the race card into the campaign.
Multi-millionaire Edwards seems to resent that others have wealth.
Former Vice President Al Gore continues to cry wolf on Global Warming, shutting down any discussion as if it were a done deal, according to him.
Louisiana Democrats, Cynthia McKinney was voted out while William Jefferson, who was caught with $90,000 in bribe money in his freezer, remains in office.
Former President, BJ Clinton, seems to be able to keep his pants zipped up, at least for the time being.
After her husband reaped millions from defense contracts, Senator Feinstein (D. Ca) resigned from the Senate Military Construction Appropriations Subcommittee.
On and on it goes, one disaster after another, undermining of our Troops at war, playing politics instead of tending to the nations business or just bad mouthing President Bush, this is our current Democrat party.
Little wonder I say 99% of All Democrats Give The Rest A Bad Name.

I think you are wrong about democrats, unless you are referring only to those who have something to gain, if the Republicans look bad.
There are Politicians on both sides which are selfish enough, to care more about the outcome being to their advantage than to the advantage of the rest of the country, or even the rest of the human species.
I do not think the Democratic party is evil, I think there are those who try to find the worst of it and point it out as if it were the norm.
There are those who do the same thing to the Republicans. It is going on on both sides.
Why do right leaning blogs spend more time dissing Democratic candidates than endorsing Republican candidates?
Even the more fair minded right leaning blogs, I read, are doing this.
In fact, this may be the only one where I have seen any evidence of support for any Republican (along with the dissing of any Democrat).
Lew,
Who is your favorite Democratic candidate?
If you had to vote for a Democrat, which one would you choose?
The title is actually tongue in cheek. However, that doesn't negate the way the party has been acting and conducting themselves since Bush was elected (not selected, legally elected).
We have RINO's within the Republican party and fortunately, many are leaving, Lincoln Chafee being one of the more well known.
Overall, the Democrat party has worked diligently to undermine the president and the Troops currently deployed and fighting. That, to me, is treasonous. They aren't debating, they are undermining, possibly as bad as they did us during Viet Nam.
Case in point, the current funding bill that they are playing politics with. First off, how do you execute a war only being funded two months at a time? Secondly, how can you say you support the Troops, but wish to announce to our enemies a certain date we just quit?
The current bill contains provisions that will do nothing more than get a lot more of our Troops killed as they wouldn't be able to call in immediate back=up or reinforcement, if they are ambushed and need help.
Congressman Duncan Hunter sent a fax out today outlining the hidden provisions in the Democrats bill that they haven't been exactly upfront about.
Duncan Hunter Fax 11/15/2007
That I know of, only two, possibly one, Democrat oppose this. Brian Baird now supports finishing the war in Iraq. Joe Lieberman always has, although he is actually a Democrat now.
As to why do we spend so much time "dissing Democrats," my effort is more to get the American people to wake up to what this party has become. Socialists, near communists, who do not have anyone's interest at heart other than their own power.
Can you honestly say constantly raising taxes is the only way to function? Do you really believe they are taking from the rich to give to the poor? And, why should they? If somene works for their wealth, is it someone else's to choose what to do with it?
A parable to illustrate
Little Red Hen
Once upon a time, on a farm in Texas , there was a little red hen who scratched about the barnyard until she uncovered quite a few grains of wheat. She called all of her neighbors together and said, "If we plant this wheat, we shall have bread to eat. Who will help me plant it?"
"Not I," said the cow.
"Not I," said the duck.
"Not I," said the pig.
"Not I," said the goose.
"Then I will do it by myself," said the little red hen and so she did. The wheat grew very tall and ripened into golden grain.
"Who will help me reap my wheat?" asked the little red hen.
"Not I," said the duck.
"Out of my classification," said the pig.
"I'd lose my seniority," said the cow.
"I'd lose my unemployment compensation," said the goose.
"Then I will do it by myself," said the little red hen, and so she did. At last it came time to bake the bread.
"Who will help me bake the bread?" asked the little red hen.
"That would be overtime for me," said the cow.
"I'd lose my welfare benefits," said the duck.
"I'm a dropout and never learned how," said the pig.
"If I'm to be the only helper, that's discrimination," said the goose.
"Then I will do it by myself," said the little red hen.
She baked five loaves and held them up for all of her neighbors to see. They wanted some and, in fact, demanded a share. But the little red hen said, "No, I shall eat all five loaves."
"Excess profits!" cried the cow. ( Nancy Bloaty)
"Capitalist leech!" screamed the duck. (Baa baa Boxer)
"I demand equal rights!" yelled the goose. (Jesse J)
The pig just grunted in disdain. (Jimmeh Cartah)
And they all painted "Unfair!" picket signs and marched around and around the little red hen, shouting obscenities.
Then a government agent came. He said to the little red hen, "You must not be so greedy."
"But I earned the bread," said the little red hen.
"Exactly," said the agent. "That is what makes our free enterprise system so wonderful. Anyone in the barnyard can earn as much as he wants. But under our modern government regulations, the productive workers must divide the fruits of their labor with those who are lazy and idle."
And they all lived happily ever after, including the little red hen, who smiled and clucked, "I am grateful, for now I truly understand."
But her neighbors became quite disappointed in her. She never again baked bread, because she joined the "party" and got her bread free. And all the Democrats smiled. 'Fairness' had been established. Individual initiative had died, but nobody noticed; perhaps no one cared ... so long as there was free bread that "the rich" were paying for.
While I admire you desire for a more middle of the road approach, I find my self through with that. We on the right have been seeking middle ground with the left for far too long. To date, all we have ever receievd in return is vilification and slander against us.
Perhaps you could study a bit on the Bolshevik Revolution and compare many of their tactics to the Democrats today. It might astonish you.
There are decent Democrats but they are over shadowed by the Leftinistra.
They are about as close to communists as they can get under the current circumstances.
