Screw diplomacy, we don't need your stinkin' help.
Never mind the civil war untidiness in Iraq. (YouTube above offered to remind everyone of the reality – see infuriating poll reference below)
Forget about the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Osama who?
It's time for you people out there to get busy.
Our president is delusional. His speech this afternoon at the U.N. sent me
into head shaking I haven't experienced in a very long time.
But what is the AP headline on the homepage of the Washington Post? Get this:
Bush
Appeals to Muslims in U.N. Speech. Appeal, my derriere.
Democrats better get a clue and quit talking about things like taxes and worrying
about 2008. Yes, I'm talking
to you, Mark Warner. The issue before us is Iraq, and if Democrats don't
start talking about it we're not going to win in November, because the base,
yes, The Base, will not be inspired to turn out and vote. Of course, Mark Warner
doesn't give a flying football about 2006, which is apparent. He's all about
becoming president and challenging John Kerry. Give me a break.
Iraq is particularly important with poll numbers like
these being trumpeted by everyone, because Dems are letting the president
change the subject. We're in a war, people. Democrats need to wake up and find
the issue. What is it? IRAQ.
The new poll found likely voters more prone to vote for candidates who support
Bush on terrorism, 45%-28%, and evenly divided on those who support and oppose
Bush on Iraq. More than a quarter said Iraq is their top concern this fall.
For the first time since December 2005, a majority of people did not
say the war there was a mistake; the split was 49%-49%.Bush's terror-fighting techniques drew mixed reviews. A 55%-42% majority
supported his policy of wiretapping phone conversations between U.S. citizens
here and suspected terrorists in other countries without getting a court order.But by 48%-41%, people said it would be worse to convict defendants on evidence
they are never shown, as Bush wants, than to let some suspected terrorists
go free. And 57% said the United States should abide by the Geneva Conventions
that bar humiliating and degrading treatment of prisoners; Bush wants to write
U.S. standards that critics such as Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., say would
weaken protections.The Iraq war continues to be problematic for Bush. Six in 10 people
said he does not have a clear plan for handling Iraq (two-thirds said the
same for Democrats), and 56% said Congress is not doing enough to oversee
U.S. policy there.Three-quarters said Iraq is in a civil war, though the administration says
that is not the case. And 58% said the U.S. goal in Iraq and the Middle East
should be stable governments; 33% agreed with Bush's aim of democratic governments.
Again, if the Democratic Party doesn't get a grip the base will not turn out. We can't
do everything by ourselves out here. Where the hell is John Kerry on this? He's
giving a speech
on abortion! Words fail me.
If we don't win in November it will be one group's fault: the national Democratic
Party who refuses to talk about the most important issue in the world, which
is the war in Iraq. If Iraq falls it could destabilize the entire region. Get
it? This should matter to us all. It's what everyone should be talking about. Instead, Bush gives us yet another lecture. It's mind boggling.
