Democrats, Admit It: We're Idiots (Huffpo)
Democrats, Admit It: We're Idiots
Scott Thill



Every morning we get up and hear the same news over and over again, usually centering on one of two things: The Bush administration's could-give-a-fuck economic campaign to destroy civil liberties at home and abroad, and the Democrats utter inability to do anything of substance about it.

And while it has been a terrorizing streak, it has been easy to nail down, mostly because the too-white Republicans, the vice-president who runs the country and the puppet president who runs the liquor cabinet could care less about being accused of sheer hypocrisy. This is, after all, an administration that can't stop crowing about how much they support the maimed troops rotting away at Walter Reed, even as they send more off to die. An administration that warns us daily about the threat of Middle East terrorism while they sell our ports off to Dubai and inflame sectarian wars across the Iraq, Iran and, well, everywhere. An administration who says they'll fire anyone for compromising the national security of the nation, unless of course it's one of their own that does it, in which case they'll do nothing at all, so go fuck yourselves.

But then there are the sad-sack Democrats, who voters across the country in a fit of rage gave the keys to Congress and were rewarded with half-assed nonbinding resolutions that couldn't even make it past the Senate. And that's after they crowed about all they were going to do in 100 hours. After that? You're on your own suckers!

...........................

Is it any wonder the Bush administration steamrolled right over these pussies while implementing a PNAC plan for energy domination disguised as a urgent need to disarm a country we already knew had no WMD? Is it any wonder that these same losers now look back in anger at their 2002 War Authorization red carpet, not because it was wrong or stupid or easily damned, but because it might cost them an election in 2008?

1. what utter bullshit
uh...perhaps the author should read the *most* current papers to find out what the Dems are trying to do about the war now.

Facts, they are so inconvenient sometimes.

2. That IWR karma has to be handled.
Tough, critical talk like this isn't out of left field. While I have a lot of faith in the wiles of Pelosi and Reid, there's still a lot of atoning to do, and miles to go before things are set right.


:hi: k.

3. As usual, the cabal is painted as a group of self involved ninnies. And the Dems are called

"pussies" because they've had the sliver of majority in the Congress for all of seven weeks.
MKJ

edited to add: the sliver of majority is against a cabal that practices the three B's: bribery, blackmail or bludgeoning. MKJ
