Yeah yeah yeah, I'm writing alot. So what, nobody's reading and I don't care. I'm not writing this stuff to have it read, rather I'm writing it as a historical record of my thoughts, observations and predictions. Call it an "internet diary" of sorts, where a few people are lucky enough to have picked the "lock"!
This time I'm writing about a Democrat strategy of late, that differs from the Democrat strategy employed since taking back the control of Congress in November 2006. Remember what I've written in the past? Democrats misled the American people into voting for them with the understanding that they would end the War in Iraq. Since that time, the effort has been to hang the Iraq War like an "albatross" around the neck of President Bush by whatever means possible. Pass any "back-door" resolution, offer up any restriction to tie the hands of the Commander-In-Chief and when all else fails, come out and publicly call the commanding general in the field a LIAR! That claim may have been valid in the 1990's with General Wesley Clark but it is way out of line with General David Petraeus.
Through it all, the Democrats have failed and failed quite spectacularly I might add! They offered up over 55 resolutions to cut-off funding and just yesterday, they capitulated with the final Iraq funding bill to be signed into law by President Bush. A $162 Billion dollar offering that gives our troops everything they need through the middle of 2009, how magnaminous of them! Yeah.......right, they didn't do it voluntarily.
So now, after getting their legislative "clocks cleaned", where do Democrats turn? What "albatross" can they grab hold of, to tarnish the Bush presidency? Keep in mind what I have written in past columns about their motivation and what they hope to accomplish by sticking it to George W. Bush. Presidents are always judged relative to the president who comes before them and the one who comes after them. Their goal is to make Bill Clinton (aka The Father of 9/11) look better in the prism of history by making President Bush look like the biggest loser on earth. They tried subverting the Iraq War and that didn't work so now it is time to destroy the economy.
President Bush inherited an economy in shambles and the historical proof is overwhelming. Remember the corporate scandals of Enron, MCI Worldcom and Global Crossing? Remember the "dot-com" implosion that wiped out billions of investor wealth as we bid farewell to such "virtual titans" as Pets-dot-com and Etoys? Remember a NASDAQ index at 5,100 before it plummeted to 900 right as Bush took office? Remember terrorist attacks that caused an erosion in confidence that sent the DOW index down to 7,500? Well if you don't, it is time to shun embarrassing ignorance and gain a clue because it happened. Now, we are faced with similar and perhaps more daunting challenges but the Democrat-controlled Congress seeks to do nothing. Weeks have passed with energy prices headed to the stratosphere and people panicking like it's October 1929 while Democrats sit on their hands and decorate the sidelines. Now I ask you....WHY?
I believe the Democrats have a new strategy and that is to hang this economic malaise around the neck of President Bush as their final way to exalt the flawed and fraudulent Clinton presidency. The American people, as foolhardy as they are ignorant, will of course blame our president for the problems even though the fundamental problems have been many decades in the making. Democrats know this but they don't care a whit. The ends justify the means in their world view and it is this fact that gives us the greatest insight to their hideousness as human beings.
