Over Mis-Underestimating Democrats: War Is Good For Business

Posted in Economic at 8:55 pm by

The only difference between Democrats and Republicans, when it comes to war at least, is that Republicans like winning them while Democrats need them to win elections. Of course, Democrats need them to be going badly (or at the very least they need to make them ‘appear’ to be going badly), and this makes perfect sense. After all, who really needs a Democrat when things are going well?

We all heard about this stroke of genius from the most pathetically incompetent Speaker of the House in American history…you know, the one who first explained to us that Republicans LIKE war? Yeah, that one:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said yesterday that Republicans “like” the war in Iraq.

“They like this war. They want this war to continue,” Pelosi, a Democrat, told reporters. “We thought that they shared the view of so many people in our country that we needed a new direction in Iraq,” she said. “But the Republicans have made it very clear that this is not just George Bush’s war. This is the war of the Republicans in Congress.”

Now, before I tear off into a fuming rage about this drooling blather oozing from the 3rd most powerful savant in the world, let’s snack on a little context, shall we?

Nancy Pelosi needs this war more than anyone else in the country, save for Harry Reid. Without it, she couldn’t explain away her incompetence and abject failure(s) as the Speaker of the People’s House…could she? Without it, she (and Harry for that matter) wouldn’t have anything much at all to say about much of anything-they wouldn’t have it to justify NOT getting legislation passed, nor could they GET the bills passed they promised their constituents…because they’d have no leverage to bilk money out of the Treasury under the darkness of night and attached to bills that include spending for…

wait for it…

The war!

You know, being a Democrat is a pretty decent gig, come to think of it…if you can get it. Where else can you promise things you know you won’t deliver, blame everyone else for not having delivered them, and get the fans coming back for more…wallets open and furiously emptying into your campaign accounts? I think I may run for office after all…

More below the fold…

With every political move Pelosi makes to force a concession from the President in an effort to prop up her re-election agenda, Nancy continues to single-handedly prevent funding for the very things she promised her minions when she hoodwinked them in to voting her back in to office. I’ll give the dopes in Congress that actually voted her in to the Speaker’s position a pass for now. Their soul-selling to garner favor within some phantom demographic of their constituency is between them and their maker.

Nancy, and the party she represents, has some ’splainin’ to do about why they are content to pass bills they KNOW will be vetoed, fully well aware that the Veterans and the Children and the Seniors CONTINUE going without the very things they need most…and as they await critical care and funding for same, Nancy is content with buying flowers, and turning the House cafeteria into a tree-hugging organic wonderland.

It was Nancy Pelosi who told us she was going to make us safer by implementing the 9/11 Commission’s recommendations. She hasn’t done it, but continues to blame Republicans. By implication, then, Nancy has actually kept us from being safer by not doing the business of we the People. Ostensibly, it seems that Nancy would rather see us UN-safe if it means she can make a political point and stick her coiffed and manicured fingernail in President Bush’s eye. In her defense, I’m told, it’s not her fault…she insists she’s shy a few Democrats. I know what she’s a “few shy of” but I’ll let that one just float on the DC winter’s breeze. Since this is HER House I fail to see how she can blame anyone else…however hard she may try.

This very same Nancy Pelosi also told us she was going to give us a new direction in Iraq. She promised a redeployment of troops OUT of Iraq while simultaneously tackling “the military and veterans disgraceful health care crisis.” During her watch, we have seen MORE troops go into Iraq while Veterans continue waiting for improvements in health care and additional funding. And, thank you very much, not a peep out of her or ANY Democrat since that Walter Reed Building 18 fiasco not so very long ago. Didn’t THAT happen on her watch as well?

I don’t suppose I should bring up all the money she was going to give us to fix the bridges Bush broke in Minneapolis and elsewhere. I suppose I should stay mute about the levees she was going to fix…you know, the ones Bush blew up as Katrina visited upon New Orleans? Of course, all that money she promised to clean up Bush’s climate disaster is on the way, right?

And, we must whisper in hushed tones about the energy bill she got done, and the drastically lowered fuel costs to the consumers now that she has provided alternative fuels, additional refinery capacity, increased drilling of American-owned resources…and thank GOD she fixed the power grid problems and saw to it that additional Nuclear power plants were built to help the poor and downtrodden gain access to energy and STILL be able to pay their utility bills.

Excuse me? Didn’t get those done? The flow of oil STILL comes from places around the world that would like to see us beaten and broke? Oil is HOW MUCH per barrel? Sheesh…who knew?

With so many Bush messes to clean up, and with so many Americans (allegedly) against the very air President Bush and the rest of those eeeevil Republicans breathes, why DON’T we have money appropriated from Nancy’s House?

Ahh, yes-I remember now-we need MORE Democrats…yeah-that’s it…MORE:

Democrats are hoping their legislative defeats will translate into electoral victories next year as they try to paint Bush and Republicans as insensitive to the needs of seniors, children and veterans. “We don’t have the votes,” said House Education and Labor Committee Chairman George Miller, D-Calif. “Obviously we need a bigger majority in the Senate and a bigger majority in the House.”

Ok-urinalysis is now mandatory for ALL Democrats…it MUST be a bad batch from Columbia that has these clowns suggesting they can translate defeats into victories in the next election.

I’m reminded of an addicted gambler…already down 10 grand at the craps table, asking me to give him 10 grand more because he just KNOWS a little more money thrown at an already bad investment is all that he needs to turn his luck aroud.

I think I’d fold if I were a Democrat…but they just can’t seem to help themselves, can they?
