Democrats 2008 Pandering Strategy
It is refreshing to hear a local talk radio broadcaster comment on something we have been emphasizing here for some time. The fact that the claim of the Democratic majority’s leadership regarding their effectiveness is your basic load of fertilizer. And it does not matter whether you favor the GOP, the Dems, or like us, neither. The truth is available in the records of Congress. As of today, the number of the 100 hour agenda items that have been enacted into law, still remains at one. And that is only if you count the House Page Board scandal as part of their agenda. Or more correctly, if you count legislation that is intended to solve any future problems from that episode as part of the 100 hour agenda. Other than that, zip, butkis, or for the open borders crowd, nada is the amount of the 100 hour agenda that has made it into law. Which means that after 100 DAYS, nothing has changed. What are they doing with their slim majority?
The only recurring activity supported by the Democrats’ leadership is efforts to politicize everything in an attempt to oppose the President and any other members of the opposing party. No serious attempt to find common ground or do anything but pander to the anti-war, open borders, pro late-term abortion, anti-religion far left wing of their own party. All of this to focus on nothing but the 2008 elections and absolutely no concern for what happens to you or me in the next two years or longer. Any chance they had to convince the majority of Americans that they may have a better plan have all but evaporated with the antics of Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and company. Thus far they have failed in their stated agenda and done nothing but give aid and comfort to the enemy claiming that is what is best for the American people and what they want. That is not the case for this American. I want my country back. How about you?
In terms of their continuous babble like the press release below, a responsible end to the war is not cut and run.
