More on the Dems idiocy
THE SILENT PARTY. You worthless passel of cowards. They’re laughing at you. You know that, right?
The national Democratic Party is no longer worth the cement needed to sink it to the bottom of the sea. For an entire week, it allowed a debate on changing the soul of the country to be conducted intramurally between the Torture Porn and Useful Idiot wings of the Republican Party, the latter best exemplified by John McCain, who keeps fashioning his apparently fathomless ambition into a pair of clown shoes with which he can do the monkey dance across the national stage. They’re laughing at him, too.
The New York Times has the right of it here, limning the pathetic gullibility at the heart of the “compromise.” There is nothing in this bill that President Thumbscrews can’t ignore. There is nothing in this bill that reins in his feckless and dangerous reinterpretation of the powers of his office. There is nothing in this bill that requires him to take it — or its congressional authors — seriously. Two weeks ago, John Yoo set down in The New York Times the precise philosophical basis on which the administration will sign this bill and then ignore it. The president will decide what a “lesser breach” of the Geneva Conventions is? How can anyone over the age of five give this president that power? And wait until you see the atrocity that I guarantee you is coming down the tracks concerning the fact that the president committed at least 40 impeachable offenses with regard to illegal wiretapping.
And the Democratic Party was nowhere in this debate. It contributed nothing. On the question of whether or not the United States will reconfigure itself as a nation which tortures its purported enemies and then grants itself absolution through adjectives — “Aggressive interrogation techniques” — the Democratic Party had…no opinion. On the issue of allowing a demonstrably incompetent president as many of the de facto powers of a despot that you could wedge into a bill without having the Constitution spontaneously combust in the Archives, well, the Democratic Party was more pissed off at Hugo Chavez.
This was as tactically idiotic as it was morally blind. On the subject of what kind of a nation we are, and to what extent we will live up to the best of our ideals, the Democratic Party was as mute and neutral as a stone. Human rights no longer have a viable political constituency in the United States of America. Be enough of a coward, though, and cable news will fit you for a toga.
However, because I know it is vital for the Democrats to “recapture” the good Christian folks, there’s a passage from Scripture that seems apropos: “When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.”
And, yeah, I’m quoting the whole thing, but I couldn’t see a way to take excerpts and do it justice. Charles Pierce, everybody! clapclapclap
Personally I think that the Democrats are hogged tied by White House spying and MSM media spin control. And I think the Democrats are intimidated physically but can’t talk about it for fear of their families and loved ones.
Remember Negreponte is running the NSA complete with his Black ShirtGoon squad which has already been deployed to steal this election.
Refresh the Google headline news page for an hour or so when there’s anything with even a slight liberal or Democratic slant the GOP spinmeisters immediately counter it with GOP biased headlines which immediately displace any news story that puts the White House or the GOP in a bad light.
It’s sickening, the Democrats are boxed in not by rhetoric but fear…
This whole Torture debacle was orchestrated to give legitimacy to a GOP win this fall when the real story is over 60% of American citizens want a change in Congress. The Polls have already established that but we hear about it less and less as we near the mid term election.
If this election was honest and truly represented the wishes of the citizens of the United States of America voting this November the Democrats will control both houses of Congress by default.
Thing is the White House knows this and has instituted a full court press to steal this election too, inspite of the will of the people.
Doesn’t matter what the Democrats do or say the American public, over 60%, want the GOP out of Congress. So the Democrats will win by default, that will be a sure sign that the election wasn’t fraudulent.
Once again, I believe that the Democrats have no secrets, think WaterGate magnified by 100%, and live in fear for their lives the lives of their loved ones.
Nothing else explains the silence!
We’re talking career politicians here, they aren’t as stupid as the media would have us believe, it’s the hidden factor at work, GOP and White House oppression of the highest order.
I’ve read several speeches given on the Senate floor that were absolutely excellent calling the White House and the GOP leadership to task over a number of key issues.
Do we ever hear about it in the media? No!
