Day: November 10, 2005

First, there was news of the “Republican Main Street Partnership”, a group of Republicans who successfully pushed for a cave-in on ANWR. Later we find out that moderates who claim membership in this congressional consortium have taken money from none other than George Soros and friends.

Just now we hear about House GOP leaders scuttling a vote on a $51 billion dollar budget-cut package. Why? Because they’re worried about the backlash coming from…whom else…MODERATE REPUBLICANS who have chosen to toe the line of their Democratic friends.

What in the world is happening here? Did we somehow enter a cohones free zone? Is everyone wearing skirts with embroidered pink elephants on them?

JEEZ.

Where is my conservative party? Where ‘o where can they be?

The Left can depend on Babs to post an “Impeach Bush Now!” message on her website.

Shrill and unhinged.

This is your Democratic Party in 2005.

The U.S. economy has now grown for 4 years. The growth has been the most steady, non-volatile expansion in 60 years.

With unemployment at 5 percent following the creation of four million jobs during the past 24 months; with the economy having grown by more than 7.5 percent over the past two years; and with annual increases in productivity averaging 3.6 percent during the last four years, the U.S. economy shows little sign of running out of steam as its expansion enters its fifth year.

And what do the Democrats have to say about that?

***crickets***

Exactly.

Cable news television loves to put on the ‘former’ U.S. government official who is now an expert in opposition of the war in Iraq and has just happened to have written a new book exposing the Bush administration as evil incarnate. Chris Matthews had one of these bozo’s on last night.

Michael Scheuer served as chief of the CIA‘s bin Laden unit.  His book is, ‘Imperial Hubris, why the West is losing the war on terror.’

 

 

MATTHEWS:  Michael, just to think outside the box, would we be better off with Saddam Hussein still running tyrannically that country of Iraq, right next door to Jordan?  Would Jordan be more secure in that environment?

SCHEUER:  No doubt about it, sir.

MATTHEWS:  No doubt?

SCHEUER:  There‘d be many more dead—many fewer dead Americans, and we would have many more resources available to annihilate al Qaeda, which is what we have to do.  Without a doubt, in the war against al Qaeda, Saddam Hussein was one of our best allies.

MATTHEWS:  How so?

SCHEUER:  He was not going to permit Iraq to become a base, as it is today, for Sunni fundamentalists.

MATTHEWS:  Why did he let them come in for that training, that chemical training, whatever the hell they did up north?

SCHEUER:  They didn‘t control the area, so that was in the no-fly zone.  They were in an area that was in Kurdistan.

MATTHEWS:  OK.

This is complete nonsense, yet there is Chris Matthews, acknowledging Scheuer’s twisted notion with a simple “O.K.” He lets outright lies like this flow unfiltered. Yet when a Republican (and not McCain, Chris’ favorite flavor) comes on armed with the truth, he either muffles the discussion with his blasted crosstalk technique or he shuts the conversation down altogether.  

And what about this idea that Saddam Hussein was one of the best allies the U.S. had in the war against al Qaeda? This is leftist propaganda dished up to be adopted and amplified by others who believe that Bush went after the wrong guy. Poor Saddam was after all, a bad guy, but a bad guy who could have been made good with a few simple diplomatic meet-ups and pressure from the United Nations. HEH!

I’m sick and tired of the attempts by the left to rewrite history so they can dress it up in a way that fits their political agenda.
