    An Editorial by RWD - Admitting a Quagmire

    I’ve been looking at the news and I have to say that the casualties are really starting to get to me. Victim after hapless victim has fallen to this administration in a conflict that makes no sense. So we have to ask the very important question:

    Has the Democrats' War on President Bush turned into a quagmire?

    Maybe it’s time for them to look at reality of the Senate and, if appropriate, start formulating a comprehensive plan for withdrawal.

    Since 2000, how many Democratic Senators have been lost to the RNC re-election war machine? Has it been worth it? How many reporters? Mr. Rather? Ms. Mapes? I don’t have the Fake But Accurate data on hand, but I’m sure it’s a lot.

    Sure, there has been a glimmer of light. A two year investigation about outing a CIA operative turned into an indictment. Because of it, Scooter Libby, Dick Cheney’s Chief of staff, was forced to resign. This set back the Vice President’s office for two hours until somebody found the Staples Office Supply Catalog. Then all was well. But shouldn’t a two year investigation yield a conviction into the actual real charges?

    Sure, the Democrats can try to come up with false numbers of hope:like MOST of the Democratic voters were dead AFTER they voted, but the reality looks them in their grim, non-photoshopped faces. The elections numbers tell the story. The Dems are losing this war and it’s only getting worse. They are the Ding Dongs on the Michael Moore Plate Of Life.

    Can they beat these brave RNC insurgents? Republicans are people who fight with unconventional tactics. They’ll remember Democrat’s speeches and quote them when it contradicts the current, and opposite Democrat position. They’ll ignore polls and do what they believe. And most importantly, they’ll never be convinced that either Communism or Barbra Streisand can be a force for good.

    The RNC has a lot of religious zealots. People who won’t think twice about storming a clinic and carrying out the unthinkable – letting an innocent fetus suffer a cruel and torturous life – never to die again – except when they’re old and gray maybe. How do you fight that enemy? Without using bullets of course because gun control is very important. The answer is : they can’t.

    Sure the Democrats have their own suicide bombers like Howard Dean – but what they really need is leadership. Hillary Clinton (Motto: I don’t have an official opinion yet – but I’m sure I’ll denounce it.) is a good candidate but she’s trying too hard to look Republican.

    Harry Reid? This is a war of subtlety and ideas. He has neither. The Clintons do their dirty deeds in the dark. Not Harry. If Harry had Monica Lewinsky, he would have had her right there at the podium, with a big giant Tip Jar front and center for all his Democratic supporters. Even when he calls a private, closed session, he’s determined to tell the whole world about it.

    Let's face it. The Dems battle with George Bush has turned into another Vietnam. It’s time to give them our support by helping them go home.

    Wow, I started to list all the contradictions and the lapses in logic and false statements as I started reading, but after half way through I stopped because it's too stupid to even reply to.

    How can you bash people for not supporting the troops and then post an article that draws it humor from allusions to the war in Iraq? Oh wait, that's right! You're an imbecile!

    In reading the thread title, I honestly this was an article about Iraq itself being a quagmire. Isn't that the more legitimate quagmire?

    It seems that most Republican rhetoric these days involves pointing out that they still have a majority in Congress and control the Presidency. Yet with all of those they've still failed to accomplish much.

    One would think that it would be more profitable to work on solving problems than continually telling the other side "We're in charge you're not."

    You got it all wrong, it's "Your either with us, or against us." ;)
