The Democrat Majority is in place for one reason and one reason only; power. This Congress is their precursor to 2008; what they will offer after that is anyones guess as they are only familiar with the tactics they have employed from the beginning of the Bush Presidency.
They appear to be the insurgency in our midst; no goals beyond running the present leadership out. They hurt our efforts daily in Iraq and elsewhere with their theatrics and misleading statements.
Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona has an essay up this morning, "Up All Night," as does Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, "Dark Night of the Senate." Sigmund, Carl and Alfred also has a very timely piece, 'Feeling' History's Future"
Obviously preaching to the choir, but the choir really needs to kick it in right about now. The new "leadership" has done nothing but propagandize about the Iraq theater from day one; they're painting September's report as failure today. What kind of argument is that?

I read this post yetserday and was particularly struck by your reference to the 'most dishonest Congress.
ReplyDeleteIt occurred to me that dishonesty comes in two varieties- active and passive. Both are equally malignant.
Factoring that truth into the equation, if this Congress is not the most dishonest, it is a close second to the Democrat Congress that did everything it could to upend Lincoln's desire to abolish slavery.
I meant to say 'earlier,' not 'yesterday'' and that, in addition to the misspelling.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the historical reference to Lincoln; it's a good starting point. I don't usually come up with a title first and then as I began typing I thought...'you know, I really don't know if this one is the "most" dishonest,' hence the slight back pedal.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit and correction, you got me thinking as today has been quite a flurry of activity on all sides. I wasn't sure at first if I had posted this yesterday or today ;-)
