This past week is Exhibit A for why I totally disagree with Newt and Rush (if he is serious) on the odds that Hillary or any Democrat will be elected president in 2008.
Every candidate running for the Democratic Party nomination for President has made statements revealing their weakness on defense. Unlike past Democrat losers they haven't tried very hard to hide their appeasement views. They have been fooled by the MSM and the 2006 election to think that a majority of Americans favor defeat in Iraq and a return to treating terrorism as a law enforcement problem.
This past week an anonymous Senate Democrat stated that since they didn't like to call Generals liars in public, that they would leave it to outside groups like MoveOn.org.
But they couldn't help themselves.
This is not the Democratic Party of Bill Clinton.
Rather, it is the Democratic Party born in the 1972 McGovern revolution; resentfully restrained in the 1990's by a DLC Clinton; enraged by Florida 2000; and emboldened by a sycophantic MSM and MSM polls into thinking the rest of America has finally come around to their historical world view that the retreat from Vietnam was one of America's greatest hours.
They will suffer the fate that McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis and Kerry suffered.
I had been growing sick of hearing the MSM and even some conservative beltway pundits marvel at Hillary's discipline and that she was positioned as a moderate on national security.
They must think Americans are stupid. Before Hillary destroyed her campaign by calling General Petraeous a liar on film this week, Hillary voted against funding the troops this year and has taken a baker's dozen positions of the war.
Her flip flops make Romney look like the Rock of Gibraltar.
2006 was not the devastating rebuke of Republicans or conservatism that many think it was. 2006 was a Year Six grievance election in which we lost a historically low number of seats. The reason we lost majorities is due to the fact that our movement is so young that we had not yet built up large enough majorities to sustain. Moreover, the Dems won by running rhetorical conservatives.
Americans were not making a decision on a Commander in Chief that wished to lose a war, and if Democrats and Republicans really believed that Americans wanted to lose they would have stopped Bush from fighting the war by now.
They haven't and they won't.
I spent 20 years in the Democrat Party knowing that we would lose every election due to being rightly perceived as weak on defense. Only after the victory over the USSR, and then only with Perot's help and a Clinton that campaigned to the right, did a Dem capture the CINK job.
No majority of voters are going to trust these Dem weenies to defend them.
Not going to happen.
Iraq or no Iraq, Americans understand that no Democrat president would have taken the steps that have been taken under this republican president to prevent further attacks.
They are willing that the President check library records if it means 3000 live.
Their will be a campaign in 2008. Inattentive voters will pay attention at that time, and just as the early polls that re-elected Carter, and elected Mondale and Dukakis were shown to be false msm coverage indicators, so will those that show Hillary or Obama being Inaugurated be shown to be irrelevant.
This past week was no surprise to me.
I knew that eventually Bill would be gone from Chappaqua long enough for Hillary to get overconfident and reveal who she really is.
A pacifist appeasing rude loather of the military.
The same Hillary that didn't allow Officers to war uniforms in her White
House office or in her presence.
The Dems will make sure we win the presidency in 2008.
