Democrat Desperation

I wrote earlier today about Democrat desperation. It occurrs to me I could break this down a bit, as to what is causing it:

Ever since tellig is they were going to ‘drain the swamp”, and  making all kinds of promises, the record that they’ve developed since taking control has turned into something else, again.

• They’ve been pushing  SCHIP, which is essentially the leading edge of socialized medicine… a big deal for the Clintonistas… but ahve been totally unsuccessful with it.
• They have not passed even one, single appropriations bill.
• So far, they’ve tried mightily to force our defeat in Iraq but have been unable to do so.
• Certainly, they’ve failed in their promises to drain the swamp and  to make the  Congress “the most honest, most open and most ethical Congress in history”  There has been no meaningful ethics reform offered… indeed, they’ve been harbouring serious ethics issues in Jack Murtha, as an example…
• They have failed to provide real earmark reform… again, the name of Jack Murtha rides high here, but so too do the names of Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Ried ride high on the list of ethics abusers..

The reason for all this of course is their own internal struggles, as the Democrat party tries to figure out what it wants to be when it grows up.  As Stop the ACLU says this morning:

The problem the Democrats are facing now is between their moderates and the unhinged portion of their supporters.

The unhinged wants to be on the anti-American side of almost every issue, they side with terrorists, the use terrorist speaking points when talking about America, they have no concern for our National Security and they encourage their politicians to be more partisan and play more political games instead of getting anything accomplished.

The moderates disagree with conservatives on some of the issues but they do not want America defeated and now that they are seeing success in Iraq, they are smart enough to not wish for bad news and failure.

The moderates want compromise and legislation to be passed an enacted into law, not a record number of roll call votes in the house that have no chance of becoming law just to claim that they have voted on a lot of things.

The moderates are the reason Congress has such low approval ratings and if the Democratic politicians do not start listening to the moderates and ignoring the extreme left, those numbers will fall even farther.

The Democrats have had a very bad year since being voted into the majority in the house and Senate and the reason for this is they have let the extremely unhinged portion of their party lead them to the edge of the cliff.

Only by listening to the moderates of their party will they be able to back away from the edge instead of being led over the edge.

Some of the politicians are understanding this and are backing away from the extremists in their party, leading those on the far far left to further bemoan and say that they feel like they are being “put into their place.”

They are…and rightly so.

Time to drain Mrs Pelosi’s Swamp. That’s why we’ve formed the Swamp Stompers Blog ring. It’s time the Democrats get exposed…. and removed from office. Join us.
