"THE DEMOCRATS END THEIR HONEYMOON WITH THE GOP"
BY: DR. FOREST LEWIS
I knew that it was just a matter of time before a democrat went back to doing what this party is noted for, being a party of obstructionists. The dems simply can't help themselves. It seems they get a kick out of "Shooting Themselves In The Foot". People like this have a "Self-Defeatist Personality". In other words, they can not stand being successful.
Delaware Senator, Joe Biden, who has the temerity to think that Americans are foolish enough to vote for him for President, has placed the Bush White House on notice. Biden says he will fight tooth and nail if the President do what most observers believe he will do:and that is increase the number of boots on the ground in Iraqi in the New Year.
You may be surprised, but, I find myself supporting this liberal socialist, somewhat. However, unlike Biden, my support for more troops is based on one caveat. If the President sends additional troops into the war torn country of Iraq to become moving targets, I am totally opposed to an upsurge in additional men and women going to this embattled troubled land.
However, if Mr. Bush turn our men loose and allow them to "Kick Some Insurgent Ass," then I say, go for it Mr. President. Our men have been playing with these cowards for too long. I say let them feel the full wrath of the U.S. Military. The critics be damned.
Biden has been tapped to steer the powerful Foreign Relations Committee. He said that he plans to hold a number of hearings starting January 9th. The thrust of his hearings will be centered around the recommendations made by the Baker-Hamilton Iraq Study Group.
Biden reports that Secretary of State Condolezza Rice has accepted his invitation to appear before one of his "Grandstanding Hearings". Face it folks, this guy is nothing more than a "Hotdog". Since we know that he has designs on the democratic presidential nomination, what do you expect Biden to do at these hearings,except mug for the cameras and engage in monologue after monologue. That is his signature mark, talking, ad nauseum.
Biden also likes to embarass the President, like many others in his party. He is hoping to get enough republicans to join him into pressuring the President to abandon any thoughts of an increasement in troop levels.
Apparently Joe Biden doesn't know George W. Bush. Once Bush makes up his mind on an issue, he is not like democrats who are always holding up one finger, to check which direction the political winds are blowing. Bush simply follows through.
Biden is of the opinion that republicans have more to lose in 2008, if the violence continues in Iraq, and there is still a large military presence there. Again, I have to agree with the Senator from Delaware.
Biden also had a warning for his fellow democrats, "I think we'll only have to accept responsibility for the war, if we remain silent".
The democrats are now in control of the House and "Maybe" the Senate. They can no longer throw political bombs at the President, and hide behind the "Hit And Run Media". The time has come for the democrats to show Americans that they are more than a thirty second sound bite.
The time has also come for the democrats to show Americans that they can do more than engage in partisan bickering.
I say don't bet the farm on it that the Pelosi's, the Reid's, the Kohn-Kerry's, and Ted Kennedy's will turn over a new leaf.
It is within their nature to blame the republicans for all that is wrong with America. However, that approach ended the morning after the last mid-term election.
Okay, Ms. Pelosi, and Joe Biden, it is time to put up or go back to being the minority party in both chambers of the House in 2008.
My money is on the democrats assuming their usual position of "The Minority Party In 2008".
It's like I said, the democrats can't help themselves, they are constantly "Shooting Themselves In The Foot". They fear being successful.
A good shrink could help the dems look at the causation of their fears. On second thought, forget it. They would have the shrink looking for a shrink.
