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.
First! RWD is a frickin’ awesome genius! Gimme stuff!
I don’t feel this war is another Vietnam?
Not at all!

I neg to differ. Harry Reid is smart enough to get in out of the rain. Just barely.
Very well said. Blackfive has a bit to say about the closed session too.
Ducky, you are a genius. Funniest thing I’ve read all day. Don’t tell Frank.
LOL! Good one, Mr. Duck!
good one.
Right on point Ducky! I think it’s more likely that we’ll see the Golden Girls win an emmy this year than see Harry Reid leave his own minefield victorious!
Wow.
35% really sticks in your craw, doesn’t it?
Kman,
You cling to that number CBS gave you like a bottle of whiskey for some temporary comfort. We’ll still be here in the real world waiting for you.
Mr. RWD, that was an excellant piece! So good in fact, I had to wipe some spittle spatter off my screen.
nicely done
Re: The CBS Poll
The composition of the respondents:
Total Respondents (Unweighted) = 936
Republicans = 259 (27.67%)
Democrats = 326 (34.83%)
Independents = 351 (37.5%)
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/blog/2005/11/cbs_news_poll.html
Only 27% of the respondents are Republicans?! You still trust CBS? I wonder if Mary Mapes ran this poll.
Hmmm…
Polls?
Like the EXIT POLLS from the 2004 Presidential Election?
Yeah – REAL reliable.
We’re all quaking in our 62 million+ pairs of shoes with our strong majorities in both Houses of Congress as we confirm our conservative judges.
It must really suck to be you, Kman!
Courtesy, please.
We ask that you please be polite to those with opinions that are different from ours.
Yeah, we should only assault them with facts. Those are the things that really bother them anyway.
Heh.
I’m still laughing about that one!
Greatest satire I’ve read in a long, long time. Outstanding! I hope RealClearPolitics picks up on this, for it deserves wide exposure.
A good end to the day
RealClearPolitics doesn’t have to pick it up. Instapundit did.
Pwnage!
Hehe, not only did that CBS poll only have 27% Repubs, it was actually re-weighted them DOWN to 23% (RCP has details).
Yet somehow that 23% has resulted in majorities in the House, Senate, and Presidential elections. It is a quandary.
UPDATE: Quandary solved. CBS has just released the 1972 Excel spreadsheet that explain everything.
A couple of points: you are expecting a democratic troll to understand numbers and polling principles–a tall order; second, you are expecting that somehow polling numbers are important and might force the president to resign–unlikely and W will still be president three years and three months from now; Political realities are just not nuanced enough for democrats–
The mass transference is astounding. The best satire is usually the sad truth as it is here. The left’s biggest complaints of “The Right” (aka “normal folks”) are generally what they themselves are guilty of. The mental dysfunction is breathtaking.
Tallman:
Now that’s f**kin’ hilarious.
Post and comments both very funny. I like this group and just bookmarked.
This I have learned from George Bush, though it has not been easy: Polls in the middle of a term mean nothing. All through his first term I kept falling for the media belief that they were important.
Welcome to the best blog on the entire web!!
Do yourself a favor, make it your home page.
ROFLMAO!
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.
Um,
Tom DeLay, thunk. Libby, thunk. 2,000 dead in Iraq this week, thunk. Bill Frist crying like a complete baby outside the senate, his indictment is in the mail, thunk.
Congratulations on a great week folks. Pray all you want, you have much to be thankful for.
Good post.
Congrats on the Instalanche.
I’m sure the rest of IMAO is both proud and jealous. 🙂
Hey Delay:
Ticked off that Rove wasn’t indicted on Fitzmas? I would be too. Also hear that Delay’s moonbat judge has been taken off the case? Whoo….you got a lame scooter instead of a Rover for Fitzmas. I feel your pain, man.
There is an exit stratagy. It involves elections in 06.
outstanding post!
When the dems pull out of the quagmire of American politcs or get a plan,
-whichever comes first- Fortunately there won’t be the bloodbath in this country that the people of South East Asia experienced after the withdrawal from that all but won military campaign.
I’m still waiting for the left to accept responsibility for the lives lost as a result of their shortsightedness in that matter.
Seems like I’ll have to wait forever!
Well put, only I do believe there was too much credit given to the Dems.
Outstanding! You are too funny…yet amazingly accurate!
Enjoying that pair of black socks and whitey-tighties you got for Fitzmas, trolls?
Great, ’cause that’s all you’re going to get. When your Democrat heroes and role models lose more seats in Congress in ’06, prepare to cry some more about how your rigged polls led you to believe a Democrat could actually win an election.
You could always move to France! Except that the Islamofascists are burning it down . . . must be Chimpy McHitler’s fault, right Dims?
“It’s time to support the Dems by bringing them home.” You donkeyhawks all think alike. You don’t realize it’s the Dems themselves that realize they need to fight the good fight, standing up to terrorists like Bill O’Reilly, there in their Fox-holes…they don’t wanna come home! (besides, how could they get their fundraising done?)
With gas prices this high, Achmed can barely afford to make a decent firebomb.
Additional reason: If your only choice was between French girls who smell like a camel and Muslim girls who (under the burkha) LOOK like a camel … you’d be rioting, too.
